‘The Senate has a good opportunity to update the laws governing the way we harness and deploy America’s tremendous domestic energy resources… The American Energy Innovation Act, put forward by Chairman Murkowski and Ranking Member Manchin, is thoroughly bipartisan. It contains provisions sponsored or cosponsored by more than 60 of our colleagues. It’s come to include 50 individual pieces of legislation that the Energy and Natural Resources Committee considered last year.’

‘Our fight against ISIS, al-Qaeda, and other radical Islamic terrorists is not over. As my colleagues and I have said for years, even if the United States were to choose to walk away from this conflict, the conflict would not walk away from us. We learned that on September 11th. We re-learned it with the rise of ISIS. I hope we never need to learn it again. So this war is not over. But this agreement may foster the negotiations and discussions within Afghanistan that would be necessary to bring it toward a close.’

‘I am grateful that our colleagues Chairman Shelby and Ranking Member Leahy, along with their Appropriations counterparts in the House, worked through the weekend on a bipartisan, bicameral agreement to provide supplemental appropriations for the coordinated response.’
