mr. cochran: i ask unanimous consent that the senate be in a period of morning business with senators permitted to speak therein for up to ten minutes each. mr. brown: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from ohio. mr. brown: i thank the senator from mississippi. on saturday i visited the general motors lords town plant near youngstown to celebrate its 50th anniversary. for half a center this plant has been an anchor of the mahoning valley, supporting jobs through good times and bad. seven ohioans -- get this, seven workers at that plant have been there for all 50 of those years: albert gifford, moscow dubois, john brinkow, robert pulansky and steven godstick built 21 different general motors models since 1966 starting with the chevy impala. the car they make now are the chevy cruz. my wife and i are proud owners. i drove to the plant in one. i was proud to be there in 2010 to see it drive off the assembly line. the first ones were painted red, white and blue. they represented the determination of a country. think about the state of the economy in 2010. they represented the abilit

mr. president, i call up the collins-jack reed-cochran amendment number 3970. the presiding officer: the clerk will report. the clerk: the senator from maine, ms. collins for herself and others proposes an amendment numbered 3970 to amendment numbered 3896. ms. collins: mr. president, i ask consent that the reading be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. ms. collins: mr. president, the amendment that senator jack reed, senator thad cochran and i are offering would make very clear that none of the funds made available in this appropriations bill can be used by the department of housing and urban development to direct a recipient of federal funds to undertake changes to their zoning laws. there has been concern that some have brought up that a new rule that was issued last year by the department would somehow allow h.u.d. to be the national zoning authority for every neighborhood in our country. while i do not believe that that is a correct interpretation of the fair housing amendment or regulation that h.u.d. has promulgated, this amendment,

mr. president, i want to talk about the amendment that i have offered with senator murray and senator mikulski and senator cochran, the chairman and the ranking member of the appropriations committee have joined in that amendment, as have senator graham and senator leahy. this is truly the committees involved, looking at this, trying to find a way forward that allows us to take action because we do need to take action, as my good friend from maryland has just so well explained, there is no vaccine, there is no simple diagnostic test, there is no way to treat the virus once you get infected, so communities really don't have very many options right now, and the limited resources that they have to manage the one thing we can do something about immediately besides education, the local mosquito population it nearly adequate to meet the current need. at this time there is no way to fully prevent the infection, leaving high-risk populations, especially pregnant women or women trying to get pregnant at risk. that seems to be the population where the -- the impact of this disease, the impact of this zika infection has not

cochran facility. they have 46,000 veterans a year come to that facility. they have had a part-time, eight part-time directors, temporary directors for three years. things have not gotten better under mrwatch. they have gotten worse. i think i'm tired of it and more importantly a lost veterans are tired of it and i want -- neil: he mentioned disney comparison. do what disney does and find a way to deal with lines and disney came up with things like fast passes and ways to get people through lines a little bit faster. but that is a gimme. but we don't have a fast pass. we don't have something special set up for those vets who might be in more dire health to move to the front of the line and get care they need right away. >> they have done everything they could to slow the line down. we gave the veterans administration plenty of capacity to let veterans go somewhere else. they made it hard for doctors to sign up. okay, anybody already signed up for medicare i can be a va provider. no, you have to go through a whole set of other circumstances. by the way we'll be really slow in paying you. we, passed a law that said if you're more than 40 miles from a facility you can go to alternative f

mr. cousins is precisely what the h.u.d. rule is intended to promote, and that's why it's called affirmatively advancing fair housing -- affirmatively furthering fair housing. and with the amendment that senator jack reed and thad cochran and i are going to be offering, we will make absolutely clear that it is not h.u.d.'s role to dictate or interfere with local zoning ordinances. but what we should embrace in this country is what the goals of the 1968 fair housing act are. and the senator from georgia, who knows more about housing than any member of this senate, has stated very clearly and very eloquently, and the example that he has given us of what the goals are of the 1968 housing -- fair housing act and the regulation that was issued by h.u.d. last year. and again i would note, mr. president, that the regulation issued last year came from a g.a.o. report issued in 2010 that found that h.u.d. was not doing a particularly good job in this area. so it wasn't something that was devised by some out-of-touch bureaucrat. it was directly the result of the g.a.o. report. and the kind of mixed development which has transformed neighborhoods in atlanta and throughout this country, and given hope and opportunity to those who

mr. cochran: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from mississippi. mr. cochran: mr. president, i'm encouraged that the senate will soon complete consideration of the energy and water development appropriations bill. this legislation funds important components of our national defense, invests in our waterways add flood control infrastructure and supports a safe and affordable domestic energy supply. i commend the managers of the bill, the senator from tennessee, senator alexander, and the senior senator from california, senator feinstein. they make a good team. they have been persistent. they have worked diligently to ensure that all senators' interests have been considered in drafting this legislation. i look forward to continued progress on the appropriations bills in the weeks ahead. i yield the floor. mr. alexander: mr. president, i notice the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: mr. alexander: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from tennessee. mr. alexander: i ask consent to vitiate the quorum call.

mr. president, thank you. i rise today to join senator collins in support of the fiscal year 2017 transportation, housing and urban development appropriations bill. and i too want to join her in commending chairman cochran and vice chairman mikulski for their great work. i particularly want to commend chairman collins for her extraordinary work, her thoughtfulness, her insight, her diligence, all those aspects are evidenced in this bill. she has once again developed a balanced and thoughtful bill that includes provisions for members on both sides of the aisle, and this bill allows our nation to continue moving forward by investing in critical transportation and housing initiatives. suffice it to say without her leadership we would not be here today with a bill that not only merits our attention, but earns our support. it includes policies and funding that will grow our economy, improve the safety of our national transportation system, create jobs and preserve affordable housing for our most vulnerable citizens. working within a tight allocation, this bill makes important contributions to development and safety of our national transportation system. the bill provides $16.4 billion to fully fund the needs
