‘We’re currently considering Stephen M. Dickson of Georgia to lead the Federal Aviation Administration. After him, we’ll turn our attention to two district court nominees. Wendy Williams Berger is the president’s choice for the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida… Brian Buescher has been tapped for a vacancy in the District of Nebraska, where he has spent nearly two decades practicing law.’

‘This tireless work by Kentuckians has helped write the headlines we’re celebrating today. Of course, there’s still much more to do. We know this is not the end of our battle against addiction — not even close. But it is encouraging to see the reduction in overdose deaths across the country. As Majority Leader, I will continue to fight to ensure Kentucky and the nation have the resources to build on this progress, prevent and treat addiction, and ultimately, save lives.’

‘In just a few hours, the Senate will attend to an important subject that we have never failed to address: The September 11th Victims Compensation Fund. I know that my colleagues don’t need any extended lecture from me about the solemn commitments this program represents… Congress can never repay these men, women, and families for their sacrifices. But we can do our small part to try and make our heroes whole. That’s why the Senate has never failed to attend to the Fund before. We weren’t about to do so now.’
