I’m proud to be a lead sponsor of the Childhood Cancer STAR Act, which directs NCI to advance pediatric cancer research.

Good morning and thank you for joining us today as we hear from members of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on the NRC’s proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2027.

The court decision in Sackett v. EPA correctly interpreted the Clean Water Act... Not only is EPA doing the right thing by following the best reading of that statute.

I want to talk about Yeager, the air traffic control tower. We are one of the oldest operational, and actually might be now. I think the only one still that is sponsor owned.

I personally think is too high. That means one of every $10 that goes out is an acceptable rate if it's improperly used.

Let’s just talk first with Chairman Nieh about the proposed budget, which is nearly $80 million lower than the enacted budget of Fiscal Year 2026.

Dr. Volkow, you know, in your visit of West Virginia and your many years of working in your area of expertise that we still have big problems...

The Institute for Cyber Security will bolster our cyber security workforce, both now and in the future, and will make West Virginia a hub for cyber security protection of our country’s most critical assets.

I appreciated the opportunity to see firsthand how federal resources are helping drive renovation progress.

I don't want to misquote what the airport manager told me, but the cost of the replacement of the tower, astronomical, in terms of what I would say. Like $80 million or something for a small regional airport that's very critical.

I know that the miner injury, you just released the statistic that mining injury hit a record low in 2025. But of course, when you lose six in one state, who lost their lives. That's six too many, as I'm sure you agree.

I can tell you from where I sit in West Virginia, it has been a very effective program. We've used it for infrastructure upgrades.

The Chinese Communist Party’s campaign of repression against Christians, including the targeting of churches like Zion Church, represents a clear violation of fundamental religious freedom.

I don’t know if it can get 60, to be honest with you.

I'm interested in the small refinery piece.

Mr. President, so this week, the Senate officially begins debate on a package of commonsense--commonsense--I am probably going to say it about ten times--commonsense measures that should unite all Americans. Americans deserve to have…

I rise to join my ranking member on the subcommittee that we share leadership on. I do thank Senator Paul, but I rise in opposition to his amendment. As she has stated, this amendment would eliminate HHS funding provided in the bill--which…

I rise today to really highlight dispatchable baseload power-- coal, natural gas, and nuclear--the role those items played in keeping the 200 million Americans impacted by this winter storm safe and warm. Common sense tells us that in the…

Over the past 4 years, we witnessed an onslaught of regulation like nothing we have ever seen before--an attack that specifically targeted affordable and reliable sources of energy like oil and natural gas, among others. The purpose of…

Do you know what always gets me about the pushback on something like this, when people are going to be able to make their own decisions and have the money go to them rather than an insurance company? For some reason, the other side always…

Obviously there have been some confrontations over there.

Our argument is quite simply open the government for seven weeks and let’s have these discussions.

as I was sitting and listening, I feel like I am living in an alternative universe here sometimes. I am sure the American people feel this way. Are people being hurt today? You are doggone right they are. They are being hurt because…

I just would like to address briefly something Senator Whitehouse has said, by tossing all the blame to the fact that we have no unanimous consent and no voice vote candidates under President Trump when the control of that is squarely…
