mrs. murray: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, as people around the nation listen to this floor debate, i'm sure they can hear the divisions about immigration loud and clear. i know i can. immigration policy is hard. it is emotional, and it has vexed this congress for decades. and while the floor debate we're having right now can be trying and can be actually thrown off kilter by one more ill-timed tweet from the president, we have to keep our eye on the ball, because as tough as it may seem right here, the stakes are so much higher for millions of people who live every day in this country. they are trapped in a broken immigration system. they face the constant fear of deportation, and they suffer the threat of being ripped apart from their families, their friends, and the communities that they love. so just like the deep divisions we see on this issue across the country, finding a path forward in the senate, in the house, and then all the way to the white house is not going to be easy. but tackling the tough issues and

as a set in the streets that mr murray referred to, it seemed to me that we need to think through, wherewhat are the objectives that this country outside the european union will be seeking to achieve in its international policies, what are the priorities for us, what is the message we want to give to the world? what are the relationships and institutions and other methods of leverage that we're going to use to achieve our goals. at the moment, there's a lot of mushy thinking about this and a lot of simplistic words, and we need to sit down and put some hard content behind it. when i was a vicar, the organist used by any old music, and we used to call that vamp until ready. and global britain is that, it is damp till ready. they will make noise until they've come up with a decision and some kind of policy for the future. it's a sensible thing to do, to be honest. just put any old slogan up. until we get to the point where we know what brexit really looks like, i'm trying to be generous to her. i don't think i'll interfere with your relationship with the prime minister. this is an unusual

mrs. murray: mr. president, i rise today to voice my strong opposition to the trurchtion's -- trump administration's latest move to override the will of washington state's citizens, our fishing families, our small business owners, our environmentalists, and our outdoor enthusiasts by opening our coastal waters to harmful oil and gas drilling. the continental waters on the west coast are one of our state's richest and most cherished national resources, sustaining communities along with the pacific northwest for centuries in helping to define our regional culture for generations. it would be hard to overstate just how important washington's coastal waters are to our local way of life. many of us count on our coasts for our food or our work, and washington state coasts are home to numerous seafood and tourism-dependent communities. they support a $50 billion maritime economy and nearly 200,000 maritime-related jobs, not to mention countless families and travelers who are seeking outdoor recreation and fl

point of order, mr ian murray. thank you very much, mr speaker.of parliament visits someone else's constituencey, that they should write to them to inform them that they have done so. many members of parliament from england may have stayed in, dined, or, indeed, drowned their sorrows in my constituency on saturday after the rugby. now, i don't really want them all to write to me. but i wonder if there was a mechanism to find out who they were so i could write to them to remind them... laughter. to remind them... laughter. to remind them not only of the convention, but to maybe just about gloat about the calcutta success of scotland on saturday? the final score was scotland 25—13 england. i have welsh origins, so i'm not saying anything. and that's all we've got time for. so from me, mandy baker, for now, goodbye. hello there. expect a wintry start to your tuesday morning, whether it's a hard frost or maybe even some snow showers. in fact, the snow showers will be across the north—east of england and down across extreme south and east of england. t

mr. chairman, and ranking member murray. i would like to start out for an immediate urgent action on a program to the provide health coverage for 100,000 minnesotians for the treatment and the coverage for treatment and recovery for what we are talking about. in minnesota we have a basic health plan which is minnesota cares at a home which serves as a lifeline for working families and offers low cost come p comprehensive health coverage for those who make too much for medicaid, but they cannot simply help with coverage on the private market. but the long term stability has been jeopardized and putting minnesota care at risk for families so in total my state stands to lose 800 million in federal funding for minnesota care which is a big blow. and i want to thank chair alexander and ranking member r murray and all of the members of the committee for working with me to reverse the cuts. and i am hoping that you are, and i am counting on a bipartisan effort to help to us stabilize this market for those of us in minnesota who cou
