The Administration's response of a moratorium seems to be at a point where people are making it permanent.

The Risch amendment seeks greater transparency, greater accountability of tactical nuclear weapons, and the Risch amendment recognizes that tactical nuclear weapons can undermine stability. So with that, Mr. President, I support this…

I believe this treaty places limitations on the ability of our Nation to defend itself--limitations I believe should not be in the treaty. The preamble to the New START treaty provides an explicit link between strategic nuclear offensive…

I have major concerns about the Russians trying to limit current and future U.S. missile defense capabilities through the New START.

Reserving the right to object, there are a couple ways we can help people who are currently looking for work. One is by extending unemployment benefits for those who have been out of work now 99 weeks. This is what the extension is about…

Not since the early 1980s has the nation's unemployment rate been so grim for so long, a government report due Friday is likely to show. The chronic level of high unemployment shows that many Americans are still suffering, even though the…

What we ought to do and what we need to do is to find a way to fund the government and prevent a tax hike on every American come January 1.

I believe this law is going to be bad for patients, for providers, the nurses and doctors who take care of them, as well as for taxpayers. It has been no surprise to me that Americans want and expect repeal of this health care law. The…

We have also appreciated his advocacy and understanding of our issues.

The permitting process has become a big hurdle.

To me this is also a national security issue.

The American people, especially families of those who lost loved ones in Pan Am Flight 103, deserve answers and the real facts.

At a minimum, he deserves to spend the rest of his life behind bars.

I rise today to honor and recognize the Wyoming Army National Guard 300th Armored Field Artillery Battalion Cowboy Cannoneers. On October 1, 2010, the 300th soldiers will gather for their final battalion reunion. This reunion marks the…

I come to the floor today as the Senate returns to give a doctor's second opinion of the health care law. As someone who has taken care of families in the State of Wyoming since 1983, to give a doctor's second opinion of the new health…

Responders knew the use of dispersants to address massive oil spills is a well-documented practice.

The amount of dispersant they would need to use would be unprecedented.

The ecological fallout of the oil spill in the Gulf is not yet fully understood.

Clearly, we do need to thank those who responded for their hard work in the Gulf.

Ms. Kagan should not undermine public confidence in her fair-mindedness by sitting in judgment on such a controversial case that began when she was a senior government legal official. It seems to me--and I ask the Senator at this…

The question that continued to come up was, Can the government force me to buy health insurance? A lot of people in Wyoming carry their copy of the Constitution with them. They carry it in their breast pocket. They carry it with them. It…

The administration, it seems to me, is now putting ideology over scientific integrity.

I am looking at a moratorium that, to me, is causing additional unnecessary economic harm to a region that is already suffering.

The majority of the experts consulted say that their names were used to justify a political decision made by the administration.
