Reserving the right to object, Mr. President. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Vermont.

let me say to Chairman Alexander, I certainly look forward to working with him over the next several months to come up with a package that makes certain we do everything we can to cure childhood illnesses, which otherwise would be fatal…

Please, anybody who supports me, do not think that Donald Trump in any way, shape or form reflects the point of view that I have.

The fact is, there is a maldistribution of health care resources in the country.

The VA generally lacks the skill sets to deal effectively with IT needs.

Allowing family members to use the VHA system isn't realistic.

Enough. Enough of these emails.

You're not going to have a government that represents all of us, so long as you have a candidate like Secretary Clinton being dependent on big money interests.

I am going to release all of the transcripts of the speeches that I gave on Wall Street behind closed doors not for $225,000, not for 2,000 and not for $0.2. There were no speeches!

Trust me, on his worst, worst, worst, worst day, Tim Kaine is 100 times better than Donald Trump will ever be.

One of us has given speeches on Wall Street for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

51 years ago today--July 14, 1965-- President Johnson signed the Older Americans Act into law, solidifying our commitment to America's seniors and creating critical programs to ensure that all Americans can age with dignity and security. I…

I intend to be in every corner of this country to make certain that happens.

Hillary Clinton understands that our diversity is one of our greatest strengths.

This campaign is about moving the United States toward universal health care!

Hillary Clinton will make an outstanding president and I am proud to stand with her today!

So here is what we have. I thank my friend from Vermont for raising this issue. On the one hand, we have a State--the State of Vermont--which addressed this issue in a serious way, listening to all points of view, having the legislature go…

My colleague from Vermont is absolutely correct. In Vermont, there was a lot of discussion, and there were a number of hearings, but not here in the U.S. Senate.

My colleague from Vermont makes a very, very important point. In Vermont, this issue was seriously discussed. Over 50 hearings were held, with different points of view and objections being raised. I would ask my colleague, just to confirm…

I rise to speak in very strong opposition to the Roberts-Stabenow bill concerning the labeling of genetically modified organisms, GMOs, and to discuss an amendment of mine that I hope will get to the floor as soon as possible. The simple…

No, I really won't yield. My request is that that language be withdrawn now with unanimous consent.

Thank you very much. I ask that that language be withdrawn right now. Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, would the Senator yield? I think I can clear up his concern.

Yes. Is it possible that, as part of the legislation that the Senator from Kentucky has introduced, that there is a title in there called the Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2015? Is that title in the legislation we are voting on? The…

In other words, sir, the Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2015 is part of the legislation we are voting on; is that correct? Yes? No? Maybe? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Would the Senator please restate his inquiry?

Excuse me, I would like an answer to my question, please. Regular order. I asked the question. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Defund Planned Parenthood Act is part of the House message to the Senate.
