I ask unanimous consent that the reading of the amendment be dispensed with. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The amendment is as follows: (Purpose: To amend the Sherman Act to make oil-producing and exporting…

I ask unanimous consent to set aside the pending amendment, and I call up my amendment No. 389. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The clerk will report. The assistant bill clerk read as follows: The Senator from…

I rise today with Senator Graham to introduce the Justice for Troops Act. This legislation offers a simple solution to a serious problem that affects the well-being of our troops and their families. Today, when service men and women face…

In 1965, the same year Medicare was created, President Johnson signed another landmark bill for America's seniors, the Older Americans Act.

This is what Americans of all ages overwhelmingly tell us they prefer, to age at home in their communities.

While the need for such vital OAA services has increased during these difficult economic times, Federal funding for OAA programs has not.

One of our priorities will address helping the nearly 44 million family members providing care to an older relative by simply asking them: 'What do you need?'

I have seen first-hand how the Older Americans Act reflects the values that we have in this country.

We also believe we must strengthen the long-term care ombudsman program, which provides an advocate for elderly and disabled patients to help resolve complaints of abuse and neglect in long-term care settings.

The work that they're doing at the institute is innovative.

I would like to join your colleagues in commending you in your service on behalf of older Americans.

today I am introducing the Savings Enhancement by Alleviating Leakage in 401(k) Savings Act of 2011, otherwise known as the SEAL 401(k) Savings Act. This bill, which I introduce together with my friend Senator Mike Enzi, will reduce…

Recently, the Air Force and National Guard Bureau (NGB) announced a decision to reduce the Primary Aircraft Authorization (PAA) at Truax Field in Madison, Wisconsin from 18 to 15 F-16 fighters.

It must be stopped, and the fate of this acquisition determines the course of this industry.

Should this deal be approved, AT&T and Verizon will control close to 80 percent of the national cell phone market.

If AT&T is permitted to devour one of the two remaining independent national wireless carriers while the rest of the world achieves advances in technology and innovation for the 21st century, the United States could go backwards to our…

The only remedy that can preserve competition is a vibrant wireless market, and we ask you to just say no to this takeover.

Can you give us a more definitive answer as to whether or not you would support a bill that would make it illegal for nations to get together and limit supply?

I think there are 13 nations of OPEC--as you know, they get together several times a year and limit supply.

I would like to continue to lobby you on restoring some of that cut.

That is why I have introduced my NOPEC legislation, designed to make nations that participate in OPEC price fixing liable under U.S. antitrust law.

the Justice Department's highest priority has been and will remain the steadfast and vigilant protection of national security.

If the nations of OPEC were private companies, such conduct would be nothing more than naked price fixing, illegal under the most fundamental principles of antitrust law.

we are all proud of the extraordinary efforts undertaken to finally bring Osama bin Laden to justice, and, of course, we congratulate all of those involved.

Now, passage of this bill would not require the administration to take any action at all.
