"Mr. President, I will be urging the people in my caucus to vote for these nominees, both of them. Today, the Senate is expected to confirm these two nominees: Judge Russell to the District of Maryland and Mr. Tharp to the Northern District of Illinois. As I said, I support the nominees, and I do, in fact, expect that both of them will be confirmed."

"Madam President, a strong economy needs affordable, abundant, and reliable energy. In recent years, Americans have experienced higher prices for energy across the spectrum. This has led to an enormous growth in private and public research and development of innovative and advanced energy technologies. These innovative technologies include fuel from algae, solar, and wind generation, battery manufacturing, advanced nuclear, and many others."

"Mr. Chair, because of limited funding resources, the Subcommittee was not able to provide funding, as requested by the Office of Juvenile Justice, for a needed evidence-based competitive juvenile justice demonstration grant program. This type of a program would allow for new, innovative practices that may well lead to comprehensive change which, in turn, would likely produce better outcomes in treating at-risk juveniles."
