now, to ensure that the corps does not feel threatened by this, built into the bill senator nelson and i have identified an offset. so even those these projects that will be included in the pilot program have money that has been allocated for them, even though that's the case, we have an offset so that that amount of money can be spent on those projects without diminishing what will remain as the u.s. army corps of engineers' budget. so, in fact, the corps itself faces a win-win with this situation. they will get rid of some of their responsibility and some of their work, and there won't be any federal money, u.s. army corps of engineers money that will go and leave them with that responsibility and with that work. so quite honestly, they should welcome this particularly in light of their backlog, particularly in light of the avalanche of demands that are placed on them. mr. president, for all these reasons i hope all of our colleagues in the senate, democrats and republicans, look carefully at this legislation and join senator bill nelson of florida and myself. this is something that

guest: three or four including bill nelson band together for the ig investigation.h it found the was no discrimination retaliation per se, that there were a lot of fears because the air marshal service had grown rather quickly and it sort of have it -- it did not know the right way to put it, but a good old boy network saying we are going to get things done but we are not going to tell everybody, not communicate our intentions as well as we should. there were these fears that that was happening and the inspector general basically said here is what you have to do to alleviate those fears and make sure the way for everyone understands we are following equal opportunity laws. host: new york. jim on the democrats' line. caller: i was wondering if the other countries that we fly to and that we have our federal marshals -- security of the airport and so forth do we hold their security accountable the same way that we protect our citizens? is it just a one-way street or do we have other countries who have their own federal marshal program, so to speak, so that it is a reci

happened here tonight on the senate floor is just ridiculous, and i think, you know, senator nelson, bill nelson, who just -- you know, i think he was restrained frankly. i know him. he is a very close friend. he was restrained in his comments. one senator is stopping us from being able to ensure that justice is done, getting a great judge on the beth. and it is -- getting a great judge on the bench. it is sad. it is a bipartisan nominee. it goes beyond this. in addition to holding up the senate and wasting time here, because we can't vote on the judge now; we have to wait until hours understand hours go by -- what happens after? we're supposed to be on a highway bill, a bill that will protect 1.8 million jobs and croat an additional million jobs. 2.8 million jobs are hanging in the balance, and we have obstruction from moi friends on the roan coyed, and they're moi friends. i don't know what they're doing. i don't know who they think they're helping. but it isn't the american people. whether it's standing in the way of this judge or whether i.t. stopping this -- or whether it's stopping this hi

senator carper, bill nelson, claire mccass kill, senator bob casey.irst of all, i want to address some of the comments i heard at cpac. i'm assumesing those are the comments i heard. this is not abortion. this is birth control. this is the pill which women have been taking for generations. it is not controversion y'all. 99% of all women have taken it. 98% of catholic women have taken it. the debate on it is over. the debate is how we ensure women aren't locked out of this important preventive care because of cost. $600 a year does lock too many women out. as far as the democratic members that you mentioned who are asking the president to take a look at how we can accommodate some of these concerns, the president agrees. he agreed when we announced this rule, that's why we gave these institutions an additional 1.5 years before anything goes into place so we can talk to them and figure out how we can figure out a way to meet the goal. the goal is to ensure that women get this access and we think we can do that and respect their believes. >> last questio

he has the strong support of the senior senator from florida, senator bill nelson. he is also strongly supported by the republican senator from florida, senator marco rubio. he should have been confirmed months ago. in fact, you get a vote of 89-5 on cloture, he should have been able to be -- to go through then instead of obstruction needlessly delayed the senate acting to fill the judicial vacancy in the 11th circuit. and a remarkable person to be there, the first cuban american to go on the 11th circuit. senator nelson worked hard for this nomination and worked to get judge jordan's nomination cleared by every single democratic senator in october. immediately after his -- it was reported unanimously by the judiciary committee. let me just explain what that means. we voted in the judiciary committee, the distinguished presiding officer was there. every single republican, every single democrat voted to report him out of committee for confirmation. senator nelson immediately got every single democratic senator, this is back in october, to say we have no objection to

two highly respected senators from this body, one a democrat, one a republican, senator bill nelson,tor marco rubio, they both agree on this person. shouldn't we move forward long before now. there's no justification for delaying this action over the last four months while a judiciary emergency emergency vacancy went unfilled. there is no justified reason for forcing the majority leader to file cloture for the senate to hold a vote on this qualified consensus nominee. there is no justification for senate republicans' refusal to hold votes on the nearly 20 qualified judicial nominees who also remain stalled before the senate awaiting a vote. the filibuster of judge jordan is just the current example of senate republicans' delay tactics with respect to president obama's qualified consensus nominees. let me give you a little history, a few facts. as we enter the fourth year of president obama's administration, we're far behind the pace set by the senate during president george w. bush's first term. by the end of 2004, the end of president bush's first term, the senate confirmed in those
