mr. kelly: thank you, madam chair. i rise today to -- in honor of several pittsburgh athletes. the first is a young man named roberto clemente. he was a tremendous player for the pittsburgh pirates. and 18-year career with the pirates. 3,000 hits. 240 home runs. two-time world series champion. and had an arm that was incredible. nobody, nobody in the major leagues or after getting a single to right field ever made waid made a wide turn at first base. clemente would throw it out. as we remember him as a baseball player, this is his last hit was a double where he got his 3,000th hit, one of the things i admired about him was not the fact that he was a great athlete, that he was a great leader, but that he was a great humanitarian. roberto died on december 31, 1972. 50 years ago this new year's eve. he was on a mission trip to deliver aid to the victims of an earthquake in nicaragua. mr. clemente was only 38. i think the thing we need to remember as americans, people have different talents. their commitment is always to their fellow man. what i remember about roberto clemente was

speaker, i yield three minutes to the gentleman from pennsylvania, friend, mr. kelly. mr. kelly: dr. davis, thank you. i'm standing beside this picture of jackie walorski, anybody that ever knew jackie knew this was the way she always looked. this bill today that we are talking about reveals who she really was. and still is. she's born august 17, 1963. she passed on august 3, 2022. 59 years on earth. 59 years of a servant's life. jackie walorski never did anything for herself to advance herself, her main concern were the mothers she worried about and the children she worried about because she knew that was america's greatest asset. she knew that everything she did in her life was not about her but was about others. she brought such a new concept to the floor, the people's house, to not only transform it in legislation but to change people's hearts. she would never talk about herself as representative or congresswoman. she was always here for she was always here for others, not for herself. and when we look at legislation from time to time we think, what are we asking our ta

thank you very much for being with us, mr. kelly. ah, the south korean military, as you heard the issuing a pretty lengthy apology for not responding to this incident appropriately, the president, talking about the creation of a military drone unit. what does this incident on monday suggest to you about the current tensions on the peninsula and about south korea's readiness and ability to respond to threats by north korea? yeah, i don't think it's too much of a surprise that the north koreans have done these kinds of things. i don't actually think that this is the 1st step towards any kind of an escalation or something like that. the north koreans have been known as a cake and prod, if you will, along the shared border right, which is very contentious. as you might imagine, north greens minutes are known to cross over and provoke in this manner before they do this often to see to the real issue. i think you and your reporter pointed out in the south can respond to rather the poor response. apparently there was a helicopter fire in th

mrs. shaheen: when i supported kelly curry who was nominated by president trump top the head of the office of global issues, i didn't ask what her position was on choice. i asked her what she was going to do when she took that role. and she had an excellent history of working on issues that mattered to women and foreign policy, and because that's not the agency that's charged with women's reproductive health in our government, i didn't think that should be the basis on which i judged whether she was the appropriate person to take over that role. and, sadly, what seems to have happened is that because dr. gupta personally says she is pro-choice, those -- all of the antichoice organizations have made her nomination an issue. so i would ask my colleague, have you sat down with dr. gupta? have you asked her what she would do in her role if she's approved to be the head of global women's issues and whether that was something that she was going to talk about or work on? mr. lankford: if i may respond to my colleague as well -- the presiding officer: the senator from oklahoma. raping lang in a co
