Well, I think this follows up, Madam Chairman, the things that Mr. Stokes was talking about.

There doesn't seem to me, at least, there is no more over there and over here. We're all interwound, interlinked and it's of great concern.

I want to find ways to make it easier and cheaper for the private sector to create jobs, not for ways to hide taxes and make it more expensive and harder for the private sector to create jobs. Finally, I wish to point out what happened…

I listened to the statements made by my colleagues, and I have come to a different conclusion. I think this nominee is actually the wrong person at the worst time. At a time when the unemployment rate is 9.1 percent, when 14 million…

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate both the business meeting that we have been working on together and I look forward to continue working with you on those matters.

I am delighted to be joining my colleagues, Senator Isakson from Georgia, and Senator Wicker is here also from Mississippi. We think this is very important. The leader started talking about today and said we need to focus on jobs. That is…

I rise today to introduce the Indian Tribal Energy Development and Self-Determination Act Amendments of 2011. For far too long, bureaucratic red tape has prevented Indian tribes from pursuing economic development opportunities on tribal…

I come to the floor, as I have repeatedly since the health care bill was signed into law, to offer a doctor's second opinion about issues related to that health care law. A group of House and Senate Republican lawmakers, including Senator…

Thank you Mr. Chairman and thanks for the opportunity to emphasize the importance that American natural gas plays in America's economy.

I come to the floor today to honor one of our former colleagues and a dear friend. U.S. Senator Malcolm Wallop died yesterday, September 14, 2011, at his Wyoming home overlooking the majestic Big Horn Mountains. Senator Wallop will be…

These are key issues that we have to address as a Nation.

Because of its great importance, reform of the Indian Reservation Roads program has become a top legislative priority for many Tribes.

transportation facilities are key to improving the quality of life in Indian Country.

I'm just trying to figure out where we go. I follow Senator Manchin in his thoughts and ideas.
