My hope is that this effort becomes a model for how everyone works to make additional, scarce spectrum available.

I rise today to speak about a historic decision by the Federal Communications Commission. It was a 3-to-2 decision in a landmark case that will go down as a way to protect an open Internet economy. Consumers all across America should…

I think the fact that those wood stoves are a game changer, and there are new products on emissions.

I hope that you will get an agreement with them because, to me, this is good information to have.

Those are the kinds of programs I think we should look at.

Obviously, a government back door to encryption products could become a challenge to an open Internet.

I rise today to applaud the President's veto of legislation that would have rubberstamped the construction of the Keystone Pipeline. This legislation allowed a circumvention of Federal review processes and allowed corporations not to…

I hope our strong net neutrality rules can be the basis for an open Internet practice.

It creates jobs and long term economic opportunity.

It invests in public lands for the next generation of Americans to enjoy.

In my view this budget represents a balanced and forward leaning proposal.

Well, gentlemen, I want to maybe come with a little bit broader perspective.

We have in a short period of time seen something like a doubling in the size of the ships over the last five years.

The question is, how do we move forward on those recommendations and would you support a dedicated funding source to freight?

I rise today to discuss the importance of the issue of Net neutrality and the importance of it to our innovation economy. The Internet is a $638 billion economic force, and according to the McKinsey Global Institute, it supports millions…

Even though you could say you had 30 percent in the new system, they would be moving so slowly you are really just continuing to reward bad behavior.

We want the country to move as fast as possible to that new model. It saves money, it is better care for the patients.

The fact that the administration is setting this goal of 30 percent of traditional Medicare payments to alternative payment models by 2016 is just a terrific goal, and 50 percent by 2018.

And I want to follow up on Captain Zales' last point, because in the Pacific Northwest, our economy is definitely tied to living marine resources.

I wish to speak also for a few minutes about what an incredible process this has been. As the Senator from Alaska stated, this was all a very unique experience, coming to a new Congress and being the very first bill up and everybody moving…

I know originally we pushed the bill back, so I am happy to move it back to reclaim some of that time and help us. I know there are a few things which have been worked out, and we very much appreciate that. I yield back our time. Amendment…

Given the results on other votes--given the vote on the Boxer and Booker amendments, and given everybody here, I ask unanimous consent to withdraw the Cantwell amendment No. 131. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without…

I wish to thank my colleague from Alaska for her hard work in getting us through this process. I think our colleagues can see the daylight to finishing this up tomorrow, hopefully. I know Members have worked across the aisle on some of…

speaking in opposition to this amendment, there is a reason why they call it a national monument. That is because it is a national process, and it is a national decision. Yes, Presidents of the United States consult with Governors and…

this is a sweeping attack on millions of acres of land recommended for wilderness. This would nullify much of the Obama administration's plan for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and would also immediately abolish wilderness studies on…
