i want to thank senator cantwell, senator schatz. we're going to keep working toward a compromise here in a way that will allocate this money to everybody fairly and efficiently. but i'm going to end as i began, mr. president. first and foremost in my mind is the american people because the american people own this spectrum. i don't own the spectrum. the united states senate doesn't own the spectrum. the three foreign satellite companies don't own the spectrum. the f.c.c. doesn't own the spectrum. the telecommunication companies for which we're grateful don't even the spectrum. the american people own the spectrum. and the vast majority of the money generated by this public auction should go to them. i yield the floor, mr. president. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from north dakota. mr. cramer: mr. president, before i give my comments about an upcoming nominee, i want to say in response to senator kennedy, i agree 100%. thank you. mr. president, later today the senate will have the opportunity to vote on

pertaining to the 5g spectrum as well, and my two democratic friends, senator schatz and senator cantwell, have offered a bill on that subject as well. we have been working enthusiastically and in good faith for some time to try to work out our differences on this legislation so we could pass it this calendar year. i regret that we're not going to be able to work out our differences for the moment, but we're going to continue our efforts in good faith. the good news about all this legislation is that we all agree that the f.c.c. should conduct a public auction of the 5g spectrum. now, what does that mean? we all heard about 5g. it's extraordinary fast internet, 100 times faster than we have right now, but in order for 5g to work, there is a certain part of our spectrum or our radio waives, if -- waves, if you will, that the telecommunications have to use to deliver the 5g service. it's called the c band. of course, when we communicate between and among each other on the internet or by cell phones through wireless technology, all we're doing is sending electromagnetic radiation or radio wa

senators cardin and cantwell.but thanks for the work that you do, debbie, on this issue and so many others. i want to -- we all know now what the trump tax scam did. we know that it was a giveaway to the richest people in the country. it was a $1.5 trillion tax cut. 7% of it went to the wealthiest people in the country. we knew that. we also knew the president said all kinds of things, said one lie after another about it. but i want to tell two stories. one of them, i was at the white house with the president and a half dozen other senators sitting in the president's cabinet room when he was talking about the tax bill. he said every -- he said to me and to other senators, he said every -- every american will get at least, at least a $4,000, -- $4,000 more in their paycheck, at least. i guess he meant people in ironton, ohio, cleveland, youngstown, all over my state, lansing, michigan, and kalamazoo. he said it's going to be $4,000. everybody's going to get that. and he said -- that's what he said then when the bil

cantwell: mr. president, i come to the floor today to talk about the importance of passing the expired tax credit provisions for many small businesses, industries that support families, help revitalize economic depressed communities, and those that are underserved. we all know that two years ago the republicans and president trump enacted a $2 trillion tax break for large corporations and there was a lot of lobbying here that went into getting that legislation passed. and yet when it comes to these provisions which is just about tax certainty in the tax code that has been there for decades that needs to be reauthorized, congress is not getting the job done. and we need to come to terms now about why it's so important to help small businesses have tax certainty in the code, to help families and communities, and to get this provision done by december 31. we all know how important it is that these voi individuals, gren energy companies, economic development, and many other aspects of the tax code are

want to thank senator cantwell for her tireless work on this behalf of the spokane tribal people, and i urge my colleagues to support the legislation and, mr. speaker, i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the new mexico from reserves. the gentleman from arkansas is recognized. westerman: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. westerman: during debate on in committee, a number of our members expressed concerns on the merits of the ettlement justice achieved under s. 216. ultimately, this bill authorizes settlement to the spokane tribe for damages as a result of the construction of the grand coulee dam. stated in the findings section of the legislation, after construction of the dam, he federal government recognized that the coulville spokane tribes should be compensated for their losses. settlements were reached between federal government and both tribes independently. no further claims were brought forward by the spokane tribe and as a result the tribe's claims were deemed fully settled. n

i thank senator wicker and senator cantwell for helping us to navigate this political pathway. today is a big day. the daily deluge of robocalls that americans experience is more than a nuisance in 2019. it is a consumer protection crisis. and so today the united states senate is sending americans a holiday gift on everyone's list, stopping the playing of robocalls. americans across the country face an epidemic of illegal and fraudulent robocalls bombarding their phones. and while their telephones were once a reliable means of communications, they have been turned against us. there are now mechanisms for scammers and fraudsters who wish to cheat and to defraud. the numbers are staggering. in 2019 consumers have received an estimated 54 billion robocalls, and that's 6 billion more than 2018, and we still have two more weeks to go. the year isn't even over. in november alone an estimated five billion robocalls were made to americans. that's 167 million robocalls per day. that's seven million robocalls an hour. that's 2,000 every second in our country. in the time it takes me to m
