I am pleased that the Senate will pass the Animal Crush Video Prohibition Act. In doing so, we have taken this important step toward banning obscene animal crush videos, and I thank Senators Kyl, Merkley and Burr for their leadership on…

In these challenging economic times, dairy farmers in Vermont, New York, and across America are experiencing particularly difficult conditions. They face both rock-bottom milk prices, and a severe labor shortage. There is an immediate…

I strongly support the Creating American Jobs and Ending Offshoring Act. These clearly justified reforms will close wasteful tax loopholes for firms that move jobs overseas and provide real incentives for firms to bring jobs back to the…

I understand there is going to be a very large number of Senators from both parties who will be at the burial.

Restoring key tools to combat fraud and corruption is essential after the Supreme Court's Skilling decision.

I appreciate very much and agree I think with about 90 percent with what we heard from Assistant Attorney General Breuer.

I commend the House of Representatives for promptly enacting the Freedom of Information Act amendments to the Securities and Exchange Act, Investment Company Act, and Investment Advisers Act of 2010, S. 3717. This bipartisan bill will…
