Do you anticipate that your budget even at these lower levels that you are holding right now is going to come in at the $309 million actual spent on salaries?

I cannot imagine anything they might possibly need.

I think you saw after some of these national and international events hopefully an increased nimbleness on our part.

That is interesting. I know it takes lead time.

I think you ought to scope it out there. I think it would be a great place to just relocate the whole DOJ.

I think they know that they shouldn't be counting on these funds to run their local departments.

If we are going to be going after a balanced energy policy, this will have great impacts on my state.

this heavily impacts both Senator Manchin and I, from West Virginia, heavily impacts our state.

Thank you, Madam President. I rise today in strong support of the North Korean Sanctions and Policy Enhancement Act. I commend Senators Corker, Gardner, Menendez, and Cardin for their hard work on this bill, and I am proud to be a…

I think that is a good response, and, certainly, as I said, for the man on the street and the woman on the street, that is extremely important.

So make the decisions based on a risk-based decision, which makes a lot of sense when you consider what could happen if some of these failures would occur not only in commerce, but loss of life, property, and all those other things.

It is important that we exercise our constitutional authority to make sure that the projects... are followed through.

finalizing this rule would result in an annual loss in coal production valued at $14 billion to $20 billion and losses in Federal and State revenues of $4 billion to $5 billion a year.

I would again like to say that over the years, since 1977, there have been improvements of this rule that have resulted in cleaner water in and around the area that I live.

I wish to talk about the bill we have on the floor and how important I think it is not only to my State but to our United States in terms of our energy security and energy policy modernization. I rise to support the Energy Policy…

I wish to recognize one of West Virginia's prized public servants, Mark Felton, on the occasion of his retirement. Through his various roles in the Region III Planning and Development Council, Mark has been an indispensable resource to the…

I rise today to highlight the positive change our new Republican majority has brought to the U.S. Senate in 2015. As a first-year Senator--and I will remind everybody that I spent a lot of time on the other side of the Capitol observing…

I am proud to have more than 30 cosponsors.

I wish to address ObamaCare repeal. As I was thinking about what I was going to say today, I went back and looked at a speech I made on the House of Representatives floor on March 21, 2010. The previous speaker talked about the…

The president's so-called 'Climate Action Plan' has never been about saving the environment or the world from impending global warming doom.

I rise to speak in support of my resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act against EPA's greenhouse gas regulation targeting existing power sources. I am so proud to be here with my colleague from North Dakota Senator…

This administration has shown time and time again that political perceptions carry more merit than any expert assessments.

I do believe innovation, but I do believe that when we talk about the human price and the human consequences of what is going on in terms of climate change, you have to look about what is going on in States like mine right now.

If the president wished to produce something substantive from the Paris negotiations - and presumably stronger than Kyoto - there is no way around the Senate.

I think it is actually very important that Congress act first and say to the world, let's be clear, we will not appropriate that kind of money.
