mr. nelson: mr. president, i ask consent to speak up to 20 minutes. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. nelson: mr. president, before the senator from alabama leaves, i am here to speak about the florida everglades, but since the senator has just raised the issue of the gulf of mexico, which is for the senator from alabama, certainly an interest, as it is the presiding officer, the senator from louisiana, i just want to make sure that the senators understand that that part of the gulf of mexico which is off limits to drilling up to and through 2022, and it's off limits to drilling has nothing to do with the obama administration. it has to do with a law that senator martinez and i passed in the last half of the laugh decade -- of the last decade. now why did we do that? well, it would be nice to say that we were prescient and that we understood that when the gulf oil spill occurred off of louisiana, that even though relatively to the whole spill, little oil got to florida. it did cover up pe

mr. nelson: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from florida. mr. nelson: mr. president, i ask consent to speak for up to 20 minutes. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. nelson: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, i wanted to speak about the president's proposal with regard to our space budget, the civilian space program nasa. of course we have many other space programs, national security primarily, but now there is a commercial space program, and we are seeing in this nasa budget the burgeoning commercial space industry as rockets that we are amazed at that can take the first stage instead of throwing it away when it lands in the atlantic ocean after a launch from cape canaveral, that this first stage can under powered flight, not even parachutes, under powered flight can come back and land on a specific spot, a pad, as did spacex first stage in a launch about two months ago. so we're seeing commercial space the fact that these things we carry around in our pockets that we loosely refer to as phones that know exactly where you are at any time is

mr. nelson: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from florida. mr. nelson: mr. president, i'm here to talk about takata air bags, but i want to say to the senator from minnesota that she is so right on. the constitution, article 2, says that the president shall nominate and the senate shall confirm. it doesn't say may or wish. it says shall. it is a constitutional responsibility of our duties. just do your job, united states senate. just do the job. and we'll see once the president comes forth with a nominee, let's see are we going to have committee hearings. let's see if we're going to have open and bipartisan discussion on the merits of the nominee that is put forth. let's see if the constitution is trashed or whether or not the constitution is upheld in the process that is put out to us in this third branch of government. so i thank the senator from minnesota. but, senator klobuchar, i came here to speak about something else, something that looks very sinister. as a matter of fact, and, mr. president, i ask unanimous consent to have two items to show to the s

nelson. thank you, mr. chairman. general, when does china north korea's chain? what is the point at which they really get serious that north korea is getting out of control with the nuclear weapons capability? >> we have been trying to find that out frankly. i think you've underestimated the danger at this point. he is clearly confident in his ability to propagate control of a situation. so i would encourage them to reconsider that at this time, that obviously despite the recent event appeared to be reluctant to take some serious steps which they certainly could. >> well, do they seem to be certainly the one that applied economic pressure and so forth -- i mean, do they fear the united are reinvented the so much and/or do they fear too many refugees coming in that this nuclear threat is not enough for them to pull that chain? >> well, first they fear instability that would occur that they create along the border and the security of the wmd. north korea not only has nuclear, but probably one of the largest chemical stockpiles in particular, but a bio capability a

reporter from the "wall street journal" white house correspondent, colleen mccain nelson who joins us now. so colleen, if mrs. clinton gets the big bow tonight, how does that help her on tuesday? >> well, south carolina's results will have resonance across the south. on tuesday you have several southern states voting, including alabama, tennessee, georgia, arkansas. they all have similar demographics to south carolina. they all have significant african-american populations, which hillary clinton is doing very well with black voters and bernie sanders has continued to struggle to make in roads with african-american voters. if we see tonight that he loses big and also really struggles with african-american voters, that could be amplified on tuesday and allow hillary clinton to rack up several lop sided wins in those southern states on super tuesday. >> senator sanders is in texas, mike emmanuel reporting reportia rally. it's curious because he was a civil rights worker. he was arrested in chicago in the is the 60s. he had repeatedly begun down to selma. why hasn't he been resonating more with african-americans

nelson? >> thank you, mr. chairman. general, when does china yank north korea's chain?t is the point at which they really get serious that north korea is getting out of control with the nuclear weapons capability? >> sir, i wish i knew that answer because we have been trying to find that spot, frankly. i think they have underestimated the danger of kju at this point. he is clearly confident in his ability to provocate and control a situation. i would urge them to reconsider at this time, that obviously despite these recent events, they appear to be reluctant to take some serious steps which they certainly could. >> well, do they seem to be certainly the one that applying economic pressure and so forth, i mean, do they fear a united korean peninsula so much and/or do they fear too many refugees coming in that this nuclear threat is not enough for them to pull that chain? >> well, i think first they fear instability on their border if that were to occur. the refugee problem it would create for them along the border and then also, the security of wmd. north korea not only

mr. chairman. i wanted to continue along the lines senator nelson was talking about as you know, the cdc's decision of vector born diseases in ft. collins, colorado has been on the front line of studying. your opening presentation has proposed $18.8 billion to resummoned to the zika virus. can you give us more detail how you plan to spend that money. >> because the issue of testing for zika is something that is occurring with the cdc, in terms of ft. collins, that's where a lot of the testing is occurring. it's a part of what that money is about, is making sure that states will have the capacity to test. for any woman who has gone to mexico, and know the estimates are 450,000 pregnant women travel to these regions where zika is. if they come back, they won't necessarily know, because 80% of people don't know you have the disease. you most likely will be tested and we recommend you're tested. if you've gone to this region. a lot of the money is about making sure that the states are going to have that testing capability. senator grassley and i introduced the ace kids act. our bill now has 30 co spons

like george romney and nelson rockefeller, suddenly didn't have a role in the '64 election that nominated goldwater. >> he is the man who earned and proudly carries the title of mrater. ♪ >> rockefeller, in his campaign, was painting the conservatives as extremists. and then my father followed up with his famous words about it. >> i would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. and let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue. >> goldwater did not recognize that he was opening up a pandora's box. by saying that extremism could be a good thing, he was basically opening the door to the birchers and leftover ku klux klan and all these other groups that were beyond the pale. >> the head of the georgia klan came out for your ticket. do you accept their support? >> we don't want the backing of the ku klux klan. >> that's a different kind of extremist, and my father would have none of it. >> a thoughtful address by ronald reagan. >> thank you. i have spent most of my life as a democrat. i recently have seen fit to follow another course. >> ronald reagan was an actor, but it was in 1964 that suddenly he explodes o

mr. darling's birthday i sent him a singing telegram which was a big mistake, the messenger boy sang better than i did and he hired him. (laughter) and do you know that nelson eddy has always appreciated the start i gave him? but every year around option time, von zell gives me that flattery routine, and i'm not easy to flatter because all the nice things people say about me are true. (laughter) last year's was a beauty. he came up to me and he looked right into my face and he said "ronnie, i think your dad is a swell fella "and what do you think i oughtta get him for his birthday?" and i said, "mr. von zell, if i were you, "i'd save my money because you're not working (laughter) i mean everybody has contract trouble, like this old contortionist i know, an agent sent for him and said look i'd like to use you for a full season if you're not too old. he said old, watch this, and he got up on a chair and rolled himself into a ball by tying his arms behind his back and tying his legs around his neck and the agent said, that's great here's the contract. and do you know the poor old fella couldn't untie himself to sign it? (laughter) but he's still in show busine

nelson, for their efforts in putting together this bill. with that, let's get this job done. i yield back my remaining time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california, mr. garamendi, yields back. the gentleman from california, mr. hunter. mr. hunter: thank you, mr. speaker. in closing, the coast guard in the future's going to fulfill a much greater role than it's filled since its inception. as you have weapons of mass destruction become ubiquitous throughout the world, the bad guys are going to use the same routes that they use to smuggle drugs and people to smuggle weapons of mass destruction into this country. it's my belief and mr. garamendi's firm belief that the coast guard's going to play a major pivotal role going forward, after the iranian deal goes through, who knows who's going to have nuclear weapons? it's going to be the coast guard that interdicts and stops them on those same drug routes they're going to be taking with those weapons of mass destruction. we need to make sure they're staffed and capable and ready to do even if it's different than what they've con the last few hundred years. i'd also like to thank my staff and mr. garamendi's

mr. chairman. thank you, secretary, for your public service and your leadership. i wanted to continue along the lines that senator nelson was talking about with respect to zika virus and broaden the question a little bit. as you know, the cdc's division of vector borne diseases in ft. collins, colorado, has been on the front line of studying and monitoring this issue of this disease for years. the president as you mentioned in your budget -- opening presentation what proposed $1.8 billion to respond to the zika virus. can you give us more detail about how you propose to spend that money and what role the division of vector borne diseases would play and respond to the virus? >> we're appreciative of the work they have done to date. because the issue of testing for zika is occurring with the cdc and in terms of ft. collins, that's where the testing is occurring, we are trying to move the testing out to states so it will be more proximate to those in need. that's what the money is about, that states have the capacity to test. because any woman who has gone to mexico and the estimates are about 450,000 pregnant women travel

mr. nelson: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from florida. mr. nelson: madam president, i ask unanimous consent that the quorum call be lifted. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. nelson: madam president, i just wanted to chronicle for the senate and to make a part of the "congressional record" that nearly 5,000 people gathered this morning for the annual national prayer breakfast with the president, members of the cabinet, members of the joint chiefs, most of the diplomatic corps, and of course a lot of the members of congress. the national breakfast is sponsored by the senate prayer group that meets on wednesday morning and the house prayer group that meets on thursday morning. this year it was the house's turn to be the cochairs, and we do have cochairs in the house and the senate prayer group, one from each party. in the case of the senate prayer group, we were ably represented as they spoke from the podium by senator boozman of arkansas and senator kaine of virginia. they will be the chairman of the breakfast, the cochairman of the

mr. nelson: mment, i -- madam president, i ask consent that the quorum call be lifted. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. nelson: madam president, hurricanes are deadly things. we are cusmed twe are accustomen florida. they are part of our lifestyles. but we know enough about hurricanes and the froashesnes froashesness -- ferociousness and strength of mother nature that when hurricanes start bearing down, you better be prepared. madam president, that is especially so with regard to being in a boat, because hurricanes are going to cause giant sized waves along with the wind that is going to make it impossible to navigate. so boats ought to get out of the way. sadly, last year the el faro, a cargo vessel that sales from jacksonville to puerto rico and back, along with its sister ship, the el faro sailed right into a hurricane off of the bahamas. as a result, the last call to shore, although the captain's voice was calm, was that they had lost power and, therefore, that they were listing, which meant that something had been breached where water was coming in, an
