I am for going and doing as many bilaterals as we can possibly do. Propose them to Congress.

I think it is something like a 200-percent increase in agriculture exports.

No administration should expect to have my support for trade agreements if it fails to include provisions that protect the Internet.

If the administration has a policy regarding trade with China, I am not sure anybody knows what it is.

I am not interested in changing NAFTA and the 200-percent agriculture increase in Washington State for somebody to say, 'Hey, Florida, I did something for tomatoes,' and basically screw the apple, or pear, or cherry industry. That is just…

The cyber threat is no longer just a threat. We have been hacked and we must take additional steps to protect our energy infrastructure.

Do you support Medicare's move from fee-for-service to value-based care?

We need a next-generation payment system that rewards innovation, quality, prevention, and improved patient outcomes--with incentives for good care, not just more care.

I wish to call attention to several urgent and bipartisan health programs that Congress must renew without further delay. The Republican majority has spent much of this year trying to pass partisan healthcare and tax legislation. As a…

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which manages the refuge, describes it as ``the only conservation system unit that protects, in an undisturbed condition, a complete spectrum of the Arctic ecosystems in North America.'' It is home to an…

I come to the floor to speak about this legislation. At the outset, I thank my colleague from Georgia and the Senator from Utah for their work on the affordable housing tax credit. The Senator from Utah said: Let's work together. I stand…
