donnelly: as a dad, i know this bill is about much more than just words or symbols on a label.it's about the confidence we have in the food we eat and the food we feed our children. as a hoosier, i also know this bill is about preserving confidence in a long and proud indiana tradition of growing the food that feeds our communities and provides a safe and reliable food supply for the world. whether you're a parent or a farmer or a republican or democrat, our objectives in this debate should be the same, so provide consumers with access to accurate information about the food we eat and to do so in a way that does not mislead consumers into falsely thinking their food is unsafe. i believe strongly consumers, our families, our kids, moms and dads, brothers and sisters deserve to feel confident in the food we feed our families. i want to know how much sugar is in my ice cream and how many calories are in that roast beef sandwich that i love so much. and it's clear from this debate that many americans want to know even more about where and how our food is being produced. i believe

donnelly: thank you, madam president. i rise today to talk about the vacancy on the united states supreme court. following the passing of supreme court justice antonin scalia and our condolences to his family and our gratitude for all his hard work on behalf of this country. the time has now come for the president to nominate a new justice and for the senate to do its job and to review, consider, and either confirm or reject the president's nominee. that's our job. hoosiers don't ask much, but they do expect common sense. do your job, treat people fairly. that's what we expect from neighbors and friends and family, and it's certainly what we expect from those elected to serve us here in washington. back home in indiana, we have a proud tradition of senators who have embodied that approach by looking beyond partisanship and giferg full and fair consideration to a president's nominee. they don't have to vote "yes," they don't have to vote "no," but we should at least listen and do our job. that's what the people of indiana

in fact today when senator joe donnelly of indiana was meeting with mayor errick garland, the shelter in place drill went off as that was happening, actually a few hours before the shelter in place took place in the house and the senate, just shows how proactive law enforcement has been to protect against this type of incident. so clearly law enforcement is preparing for this type of thing and as we saw here, they reacted rather swiftly as soon as the shooter's -- the suspect's gun went off in the magnetometer, police appeared to fire away and that's where the suspect is right now, in the hospital under surgery according to the police chief. >>nd it was pretty frightening for everyone in washington when we heard almost exactly the time of this lockdown up on capitol hill and shots were fired on capitol hill, manu, almost exactly at the same time we got word of a lockdown at the white house and reporters, everyone was told to stay in place, don't leave the west wing because apparently someone tried to jump over the fence. we have no idea if this was coordinated. but walk us through the
