daines: thanks, senator capito. it's a good point you made after you spent 1 years in the house. -- 14 years in the house. this is the easy bill to pass, funding our military, funding the men and women who wear the unction uniform. in the united states senate appropriations committee, there are 16 republicans and 14 democrats. and as senator capito pointed out, another appropriator, it passed 30-0 out of the senate committee on may 26. we haven't had a response from the other side is what has changed since may 26 when we passed it 30-0. senator capito, thank you for your thoughts. i want to now welcome senator sullivan, another fresh than senator from -- freshman senator from alas cacht let me tell you something special about senator sullivan. lieutenant colonel, reserve, senator sullivan. we're grateful to his service to our nation as a marine. i'm the son of a marine. i'm standing next to a marine. thank you. senator capito and i both had a chance to visit joint base richmond el man door of twice. impressive opera

capito: thank you, mr. president. thank you for recognizing me. and aid like to talk a -- and i'd like it talk a little bit on the floor about an issue that's cascading across the country, and is especially troubling to the state of west virginia, and that is the opioid crisis which we're seeing. many of you recently read about what's happened in the city of huntington, west virginia. it sits right on the ohio river at the corner of west virginia, ken kernings and ohio. -- kentucky, and ohio. it is the herd of the thundering heard of marshal university. howfort, one -- however, one month ago today in just a four-hour period, this small city of huntington was the site of 28 overdoses. responding to this mass overdose occupied all the ambulances of the city and more than a shifort's worth of the police officers in huntington. of the 28 people affected, 26 were revived using naloxone, a lifesaving drug. however, the heroin that they had used was likely laced with a substance so potent that the ordinary dose of naloxone wasn't enough. responders had t

capito: thank you, mr. president, for recognizing me. i want to thank my colleague from louisiana for all the hard work that he has done to try to make sure that those folks that he talked about and those tragedies that he has brought to light and to life for all of us are getting the best and more assistance than they deserve. i think every state, whether it's la larks west virginia, -- louisiana, west virginia, georgia, wherever we live, we're all subject to an emergency, whether it's a fire, whether a snowstorm, a tonders, any of these things can -- a tornado, any of these things can happen to us. that's why through the course of my legislative career looked favorably at trying to help particular areas of this country who needed extra assistance. and senator cassidy has been particularly effective here, and i've been very happy to be working with him and others on this. so now we're very close to voting. i already talked on this topic this week, but i go want to say that we're's do want to say we're very close to voting on this and pa

senator capito called obamacare nothing short of devastating in her home state of west virginia. working families, she said, are being faced with skyrocketing premiums, co-pays and deductibles. senator isakson warned that the numbers do not lie in georgia. obamacare, he said, is forcing insurance carriers to leave the market, eliminating competition and choice, all while placing the burden of higher costs on the backs of working taxpayers in this country. and senator mccain explained how americans have been hit by broken promise after broken promise and met with higher costs, fewer choices and poorer quality of care. noting that his home state of arizona had become ground zero for the collapse of obamacare. just last month, the obama administration told americans not to worry about rising costs because they could shop around to find the best plan and save money on health insurance. but many americans in places like ohio are going to be severely restricted when it comes to choosing an insurer next year, as the state's director of insurance pointed out. in fact, 19 of ohio's counti

quickly even at the coastline where we're expecting 80s and some 90s for places near santa cruz and capito capitola. the heat will back off as high pressure slides off to the south and west. so temperatures will be not as bad as the last few days. today and tomorrow will be the hottest days we've seen in quite some time. 98 for walnut creek. 98 for napa. a slew of 90s from l.a. to san diego. tomorrow triple digit heat for the tri-valley, close to 100 for the north bay. look at the coast. santa barbara, close to 90. l.a. in the triple digits for tomorrow. tuesday, a as i mentioned, the heat backs off a little bit. now, again, today's highs definitely hotter than it was yesterday. that's why we have that heat advisory that goes into effect around noon. 95 for you in san jose. 97 today in gilroy. and 89 if you're headed to the beach in santa cruz. here is a look at your seven-day forecast. tomorrow a little hotter and then we begin a gradual decline. look at next weekend. 78 by saturday as we welcome in october. even in san francisco, scott, we're going to see temperatures fall back into the

brown: madam president, yesterday i joined senator manchin, senator warren and others, senator capito about the mine workers pension, and i want to come to the floor again today. i don't think -- i just can't believe that my colleagues are going to go home. some wanted to go today, make this the last day of session. others are saying next week. i think there's no excuse for the senate to leave here without taking care of the long time starting with harry truman agreement that we've made with the people to go down in coal mines and do their work. they are -- they powered this country and have for decades. it's one of the most difficult, least safe jobs in the country. i wear on my lapel a depiction given to me at a workers memorial day rally of a canary in a bird cage. the mine workers used to take a canary in the mines. they had no union 100 years ago to protect them. they had no government that cared enough to protect them, protect them and their safety. they relied on this canary. if the canary died, they got out of the mines. they were on their own. we know this proud history of mi

capito: mr. president, i have five requests for committees to meet during today's session of the senate. they have the approval of the majority and the minority leader. the presiding officer: duly noted. mrs. capito: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, i rise today to ask my colleagues to support this cloture motion this afternoon and move forward in passing the continuing resolution to fund our government through december 9. flooding is a national emergency. i've heard many members talk about the flooding in louisiana and west virginia and texas. and it is a devastating, devastating circumstance we find ourselves in the state of west virginia. 23 west virginians lost their lives. amazingly, the last victim was just found probably just a month ago, a 14-year-old girl. 12 counties were declared federal disaster areas. and for some areas of west virginia, this was a 1,000 year event. it came up so quick. some of our oldest and our poorest communities suffered serious destruction, and nearly 90

capito: mr. president, i rise today to join many of my colleagues in sharing the realities of obamacare. we've heard a lot of about this, my home state of west virginia, for many this law has been devastating. while a number of people insured has increased because of the expansion of medicaid in my state, the way these policies were put into place has created possible catastrophic fiscal cliffs for states. my state, by the way, last fiscal year was over $300 million in the hole because of other issues. and now they're looking at this fiscal cliff of having to pay full freight for the medicaid expansion. there is now a segment of our population who is falling through the cracks when it comes to health reform. they make too much money to qualify for medicaid or subsidies and end up paying the full cost of increasing individual coverage premiums. these families, these working families are being faced with skyrocketing premiums, co-pays and deductibles. talk to any health care center, talk to the hos

capito: this is mr. -- mr. capuano: this is mr. robert holmes who apparently robbed your bank in lancaster, pennsylvania. he did not use a weapon. he got caught and got all the money back. he's in jail as we speak on a $750,000 bail. you on the other hand have run an enterprise that has a culture of corruption, you encourage sboord nats to abuse existing -- subordinates to abuse existing customers by opening fake bank accounts. you charged those victims illegal fees, interest and late charges, and then you sent some of them to collection agencies because they didn't pay them. then you fired 5,300 workers as if you care, to cover everybody's tracks. in my opinion, you and your entire leadership team are clearly and unequivocally guilty of at least conspiracy to commit fraud, conspiracy to commit identity theft, clearly racketeering, which is something a lot of my friends know something about. and probably a dozen other crimes. only simple question, what the heck's the difference between ou and mr. holmes? why shouldn't you be in jai

capito: thank you, mr. president. i want to thank my fellow senator from the state of west virginia for his lead on this, and i'm happy to be his primary cosponsor. i want to thank senator brown. he brings a lot of passion. i got to follow him the other day when we were at the rally. he is a hard act to follow. senator warner, certainly your state in virginia in the southwest portion where you are lucky enough to be really close to west virginia is going to feel a lot of this. i think senator brown really stated it, something of the rally that we saw last week. it was a very hot day. it was a -- there were thousands of miners and families that were there. we all went for the show of hands. senator portman's here now. let's have a show of hands of those from ohio. let's have a show of those from west virginia. it was really spread throughout the country. it wasn't just -- or throughout the eastern part of the country. it wasn't just one state or the other. and everyone that i shook hands with, i was -- i asked, you kno
