Orrin Hatch

Implementation of the law will not be an easy task--it never is. However, the law is clear.

The NASA Authorization Act might not be the perfect solution to all of the issues surrounding manned space flight, but it provides our nation with a strong plan--a plan embedded in law--which will define the future of our nation's…

We ought to listen to Senator Grassley. He is one of the leaders in this body and somebody we all look up to as totally honest and sensitive on these issues. He has done a wonderful job on the Finance Committee. According to the…

Senator Grassley has been the ranking Republican or chairman of the Finance Committee for a long time now. We have seen times when the expiring tax provisions have been dealt with in as timely a manner as they should have been, but have we…

The best social program ever created was a good, decent paying job.

The prison pipeline sucks hundreds of thousands of children every year into a trajectory that leads to marginalized lives, illiteracy, imprisonment and often premature death.

I believe it is more than simple exaggeration to compare the Taliban to the National Rifle Association. It is, quite simply, needlessly inflammatory and, in my opinion, irresponsible.

This Cradle to Prison Pipeline...is creating a new American apartheid.

We are the world's leading jailer and are criminalizing our poor and minority children at younger and younger ages--both shameful badges of misguided and negative leadership.

We need to reset our moral and economic compass to invest.

How morally obscene it is that a nation with a GDP exceeding $14 trillion cannot find the will, common sense and decency to provide a safety net to protect its more than 15 million poor children.

I can't think of a dumber investment policy.

As a father of two young children, I find this morally offensive, and so should we all.

Now is the time to correct the laissez-faire Federal policies that enabled the few to run roughshod over the life savings of many hard working Americans.

I rise today to introduce S. 3919, an act to remove Endangered Species Act, ESA, protections for gray wolves. Delisting of this species is long overdue. Gray wolves are listed as endangered under the ESA in the United States, except in…

I rise today to introduce the Strengthening Our Commitment to Legal Immigration and America's Security Act. Our immigration system is broken and needs reform. We can make progress by starting with the laws that already exist. My bill would…

I rise today to introduce Senate Resolution 646, also known as Feed America Day. Feed America Day began in 2002 as a small effort in Provo, UT. From that small beginning, the campaign has received support from over 1,100 large and small…

It has become customary to expect pendulum swings in labor law each time the White House changes hands and appoints new government officials to lead the Federal executive branch and independent agencies. Sometimes the law changes every 4…

I rise to express my support for S. 3804, the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act, as introduced by Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont. Over the years, Senator Leahy and I have tackled some of the most complex issues related…

Last week President Obama called for a permanent research tax credit. We have always extended this tax credit. We failed last December to do it on time. Therefore, we are without it. We are without the jobs that would be created by it. I…

I speak today, along with my colleague, Senator Bob Bennett, in recognition of "National Polycystic Kidney Disease Awareness Week". Senator Herb Kohl and I introduced S. Res. 592 on July 22 to designate September 13-19, 2010, as the…

I am pleased today to introduce the Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Reauthorization Act of 2010 which reauthorizes the Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Act of 2005, P.L. 109-129, through the end of 2015. I am also grateful that…

I rise today to introduce the Reduce and Cap the Federal Workforce Act. This is a simple straightforward bill that would reduce the number of civilian federal employees--excluding those serving in the Departments of Defense and Homeland…

I rise to express my frustration and disappointment with the decision of the majority leader yesterday that seems to have effectively precluded Republicans from offering amendments to the small business lending bill that is before us…

We should not be proud of Federal policies that steal from our children.
