If confirmed, I expect Mr. Rettig to work with Congress to modernize the IRS's infrastructure and technology to bring the agency into the 21st century.

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Remembering Charles Krauthammer

allow me to say a few words on the passing of a dear friend, Charles Krauthammer. Charles was a giant in the conservative intellectual movement and community. With his passing, we have lost not only a first-rate political mind but a model…

One of the world's most pressing public health problems is the emergence of bacterial infections that are resistant to antibiotics.

I believe that those who have criticized the blueprint as insufficient are either responding from a lack of knowledge or purely for political gain.

I commend the President and the Secretary for their focus in this area and for releasing this comprehensive blueprint.

The President tweeted that the U.S. should forget about due process rights for immigrants, essentially an endorsement of judging people by the color of their skin.

To me, this so-called administration blueprint looks less like a blueprint than it does like blue smoke and mirrors.

I have since spearheaded numerous other legislative initiatives to address shortcomings in the system and to capitalize on opportunities for improvement.

When the President said in early 2017 that drug companies were 'getting away with murder,' he offered his diagnosis of the prescription drug cost problem.

What else is the FDA going to do to alleviate these shortages, and prevent future shortages from disrupting the practice of medicine?

The goal is to help consumers, and the best way to do that is to balance both affordability and innovation.

We must keep families together as we work to avoid illegal border crossings.

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Tribute to Mark Prater

I rise today to pay tribute to a man who was a loyal and diligent staffer on the Senate Finance Committee for nearly three decades--Mark Prater. Mark began as a tax counsel with the committee in January of 1990. During his 28-year tenure…

I rise in celebration of the 6-month anniversary of passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. I know there were a lot of remarks about the benefits of tax cuts right out of the gate, but many of the benefits from the reform of the old, broken…

A strong, well-planned strategy on trade would bring the full economic might of the United States and our allies to bear on China's trade cheating.

I intend to focus this morning on three investigations self-initiated by the Department of Commerce under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962.

These tariffs do not support U.S. national security. Instead, they harm American manufacturers, damage our economy, hurt American consumers, and disrupt our relationship with our long-time allies.

Enough of the chaos--that's what I hope to see more of from the administration in the weeks and months ahead.

A car is not a can of soup. It is not a can of soup, Mr. Secretary.

It should come as no surprise that many of us on the committee have concerns about the process, effects, and strategy behind these investigations and resulting actions.

As noted by Chairman Hatch on June 20th, automobiles are the second biggest purchase most American families make.

These tariffs will wreak havoc on the thriving American economy and could cost hundreds of thousands of jobs.
