as my colleague from delaware has said, he is unafraid. he will take on any challenge no matter the consequences. i have appreciated his commitment to the well-being, safety and security of seniors across the nation, senator flake was especially helpful in our committee's examination of the international criminal cartel. and unsuspecting american seniors, to struggle narcotics across international borders, not realizing the cargo they were carrying. senator flake has been an outstanding leader on the foreign relations committee as chairman of the subcommittee on africa and global health policy. his firsthand knowledge of issues, in south africa, to guide his efforts. i was proud to have been a cosponsor that he authored with senator coons to combat the wildlife trafficking crisis which became law in 2016. on a congressional trip i first met my friend jeff flake and i remember thinking he was so fascinating, he knew so many things of which i had very little knowledge. he talked about his time in africa and bring a smile to his lips as well

so madame president, with these remarks and i hope the senator from delaware still here, and willing to say, i make there is remarks just to remind the country and remind the members of the senate that 61 of us have already signed a letter saying the legislative filibuster, the right to extended debate, the opportunity to talk to head off in defense of what you want. the ability to function is against the tierney of the majority.it in this fractured country as an institution that can produce consensus that is lasting and accepted by most people is the most buyable part of his body. the majority, whether in the majority and we often make that clear. if we ever do decide want to talk about it and change it, we should follow the role. we have rules. it takes at least 60 votes to change a standing role. i want to put a stop to this talk about breaking the rules to change the rules of the senate. i will not vote to turn the senate into a rule breaking institution. i hope the opportunity ever arises, that my colleagues will vote the same way as 61 of them did in the letter that senator col

and i would yield the delaware. mr. carper: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, the presiding officer knows i spent a little time in the navy. i said to my father, my father enlisted in the navy right before world war ii. he was not 18. george herbert walker bush was i think 18 -- on his 18th birthday, just out of high school, and he enlisted in the navy as a seaman second class. about a year later, he was off to corpus christi naval station where i earned my wings as a naval flight officer a long time ago. he became an ensign at the age i think of 19 and became maybe the youngest navy pilot around that time that they had in the navy, if you can believe that. a year or so later in september of 1943, he was on a ship, u.s.s. -- and i think this is san jacinto. he flew avenger bombers with the third fleet and the fifth fleet. if you think about it, he must have been at that point in time 20 years old. flying as a pilot on a -- on avenger bombers. that's pretty amaze. when i was 20 years old, i was a sophomore or junior at ohio state. the idea of flying m

another thing we heard is that , inland-grant institutions delaware we have the university of delaware, and they do incredible work in the field of agriculture and train people so they can go into these fields. making sure that we have the support of that was a good thing that is in the farm bill. another provision that i'm excited about, and on your previous calls you had people talking about the environmental aspect of farming. there is a program under conservation titled -- and it is andt environmental quality incentives to get farmers to be able to provide best practices. ae of the things we have small provision that my senators, chris coons and senator tom harper, we worked together on for the poultry industry. mentioned, this is important in terms of our health, our environment, and our general well-being. we are pleased with most of the provisions in the farm bill. host: how do you think they will be reconciled with the senate bill? guest: it looks promising. on all of those issues, there seems to be general consensus. we hope to see that language in the coming days. oft: when i

washington's army staged one of the most daring attacks in the revolutionary war and wrote across the delaware river to a driving snowstorm and overwhelmed the gerson of 1000 0 haitian soldiers at dawn. as haitian defenders fired back, some other bullets hit inevitably come hit their marks. one man on armed rushed into battle, not to fire a shot but to stem the bleeding. kneeling over the following, dr. benjamin rush tried something new doctor had ever done before, prevent death on the battlefield. until then armies routinely left the wounded to die. everywhere in the world. if a soldier could not run, walk, limp or crawl off the battlefield, he was left to die. there were no doctors around to help. and there really was no choice. there wasn't such thing as an antiseptic. the vast majority of badly injured, in peace as well as in war, died from blood poisoning, septicemia. there was nothing anyone could do. troops couldn't help, doctors or priests could do nothing except pray. and that seldom saved in your lives, at least here on earth. for dr. benjamin rush, however, it seemed obscene to let
