Orrin Hatch

I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from South Carolina.

This bill could not have passed without you. You are living up to everything I thought you would.

I, personally, congratulate the distinguished Senator from Ohio. He is one of the most intelligent people in this body. He has had all kinds of experience outside of the Senate. He is a person whom everybody should listen to. He makes a…

I have listened to the comments of my friends on the other side for several hours. Frankly, it has tried my patience. If you boil down the inaccurate assertions, you come up with two basic points. One, that the bill before us cuts taxes…

I have been listening to this debate for a long time, and I have to admit it has been interesting, but it has been prolonged way beyond where it should have been. My friends on the other side make much about this process, demeaning the…

The Senator is correct. The conference report language for the bill does not change or modify the intended scope of the statement he cites. The Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service should interpret the stock attribution…

this fellow has a very interesting way of trying to get his point of view across. It shouldn't be done here in this august body. Let me just start again. The Senate will soon vote on the conference report for H.R. 1, the Tax Cuts and Jobs…

then I will withhold the unanimous consent request. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Utah has the floor.

the Senate will soon vote on the conference report for H.R. 1, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. I have waited a long time to give this final statement in support of tax reform legislation. (Disturbance in the Visitors' Galleries.) The PRESIDING…

I have just withdrawn the request. I will insert it later when it is more expeditious to do it. The announcements I have been talking about is dated today, and it was produced by the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation. I would like to…

No, not just yet. I am going to finish these remarks. I am going to insert in the Record an analysis of winners and losers. The analysis is dated today. It was produced by the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation. Mr. President, I ask…

today I wish to recognize a longtime member of the Senate family who is concluding his tenure with us as this session comes to a close. His last day of service in the U.S. Senate will be December 22. Steve Johnson, a resident of Annandale…

before I turn to the main portion of my remarks, I would be remiss if I failed to recognize two staffers who were instrumental in helping us pass the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act earlier this month--James Williams, my senior policy adviser, and…

I rise today to congratulate, recognize, and acknowledge the longtime public service that Donald Harlan Hansen has provided to the State of Utah. This month, Donald Hansen will officially retire as the civil litigation chief for the Salt…

I've been a champion of the rare disease community for quite some time, and I applaud you for also recognizing how vital research in this area truly is.

I certainly appreciate you two gentlemen. I think you're both some of the best public servants I've seen in all of my 40-plus years in the U.S. Senate.

Well, thank you. Dr. Collins, one of the provisions of the 21st Century Cures was designed to improve opportunities for young and emerging researchers.

last week, the Senate came another step closer to providing real tax relief to the middle class and providing a much needed boost to our economy. Yes, I am talking about the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. That bill spent years in…

If confirmed, I look forward to working with the Secretary to determine how OSERS can address this issue within the parameters of IDEA.

with passage of this bill, we are another step closer to providing real tax relief to the middle class and providing a much-needed boost to our economy. Today's events have been years in the making. This has been my chief legislative focus…

The Senator is correct. The intent of the provision is to exclude all amounts paid or accrued for services costs with no markup. Thus amounts paid or accrued in that account would be excluded from the base erosion anti-abuse tax. Other…

Of course I do. I don't think I do everything on my own here. I have to have good Democratic friends to do it. I don't think you do either. Let me tell you something. We are going to do CHIP. There is no question about it, in my mind. It…

Unfortunately, the liberal philosophy has created millions of people that way, who believe everything that they are or ever hope to be depends upon the Federal Government rather than on the opportunities that this great country grants…

But to prey upon the CHIP program as though it is the be- all and end-all of everything here in every aspect of this debate is not quite right either. All I can say is that I don't know anyone here who is not going to support CHIP when we…

I have sat here and listened to Democrats, year after year, talk about how they are so much more committed to the middle class and to the poor, as they have driven us right into bankruptcy. Instead of trying to work on these matters so…
