Entry Title Date
Statements On Introduced Bills And Joint Resolutions May 14, 2012
John Kerry, D-MA
"Mr. President, today I am introducing the Vocational and Technical Entrepreneurship Development Act to provide critically needed support to help expand entrepreneurship education programs for young adults. At a time when young adults ages 18 24 face an unemployment rate of approximately twice the national average, it is more important than ever to provide additional resources to help them start their own business. Young entrepreneurs need our help to give them the skills necessary to turn their passion into a successful career."
Tribute To Professor James Olesen May 10, 2012
John Kerry, D-MA
"Mr. President, I would like to congratulate Professor James Olesen from the Department of Music at Brandeis University, the winner of the 2012 Festival of the Creative Arts Award for Distinguished Contribution to the Arts."
Remembering Stacey Sachs April 23, 2012
John Kerry, D-MA
"Mr. President, at its best, the Senate is an extended family--we spend an unbelievable amount of time working here, Senator to Senator, staff to staff. And in the course of those efforts, we get to know each other not as members of a party or as ideological caricatures or cutouts but as people. In particular, we get to know and appreciate on a personal level not just our staff but the staffs of our State delegations. There are staffers from the Massachusetts delegation who have been here as long as I have. And certainly on my late colleague Ted Kennedy's staff there were professionals I knew as friends and turned to as easily as Teddy himself did for so many years."
Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act Of 2011—Motion To Proceed April 19, 2012
John Kerry, D-MA
"Madam President, all of us who work here in the Senate and who are privileged to serve as Senators know on a personal level that we are always only as good as our staff and staff work that we are privileged to have from them. I think every Senator is enormously grateful for the hours all of our staffs invest to help us do our work. Oftentimes, that means missing weekends, deferring, delaying, or plain canceling vacations, or working away on a beautiful Saturday morning when other people are out and about, and I am sure the best of them would readily admit they would rather be spending their time somewhere other than perhaps the Russell Senate Office Building."
Executive Reports Of Committee March 27, 2012
John Kerry, D-MA
"Mr. President, for the Committee on Foreign Relations I report favorably the following nomination lists which were printed in the Records on the dates indicated, and ask unanimous consent, to save the expense of reprinting on the Executive Calendar that these nominations lie at the Secretary's desk for the information of Senators."
