later, you said about nelson mandela's death that you were... "now i have lost a brother.o know to whom to turn." this is as a result of your shared experiences. he played a very special role in my life. as i said, i had come tojohannesburg at the age of eight but as the years went by, and i got involved with the young communist league and the indian youth congress and so forth, in that capacity, i met walter sisulu and the others. my biological father had died when i was 14. gradually, i regarded sisulu as my father in fact. i could turn to him for the most personal advice. you mentioned silvia hill. she was white. and when i started the relationship with her, i consulted with sisulu — i told him about the association. if we get caught, it can have a negative impact on our struggle, our organisation — that was what i thought. his response was: we are against all racial laws, including the immorality act and mixed marriages act. just be careful. but if you get caught, we will stand by you. just be careful. one of the members of your family, nelson mandela, not just on robb

nelson. nothing bad will happen if it turns red on you. but we ask you to do five minutes. mr. nelson. >> good morning, and thank you, mr. chairman, and the members of the committee for hosting this event and hopefully supporting clean sport. as a 9-year-old i remember watching athletes like mary lou retton and edwin moses represent the united states of america in the 1984 olympic games. their performances inspired a generation of childhood dreamers like me at least for a moment to imagine what it would be like to compete at the greatest stage on the world, culminating in an unforgettable medals ceremony accompanied by my flag and my national anthem. 12 years later, i competed in my first olympic trials as a shot purter, finishing last in a effort that fueled the dream for four more years. four more years has been a mantra for most of my adult life. the 2004 olympic shot put competition was contested in in greece, more than 20,000 spectators visited the competition venue for the first time in

nelson: madam president, i ask that the quorum call be lifted. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. nelson: madam president, there has been a lot of conversation from so many of our fellow senators about the opioid crisis that has been devastating individuals and families across the country. we heard this particularly in new hampshire has it was a topic of discussion last fall during the election. it was an opportunity to bring to the nation's attention because of the eyes being focused first on the new hampshire primary of a real opioid crisis. well, what we also then discussed was it wasn't just affecting a few states. it was affecting most of the states. and that is the case with my state of florida. addiction to opioids has reached staggering levels, and the situation is only getting worse. in 2015 more than 33,000 americans died from prescription opioid overdose. that's 15% more people than had died just the previous year. and i don't have the figures for last year 2016. and so florida is right there in that national trend. what flo

nelson: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from florida. mr. nelson: first, i ask unanimous consent that a detailee, randall clark, and a fellow, stacey stern albern, who have worked on this issue for the commerce committee, be granted floor privileges for the remainder of this session. the presiding officer: without objection o. mr. nelson:man, we're talking about away privacy rights from individuals if we suddenly eliminate this rule. do you want a large company that's an internet provider that has all the information personally sensitive information because of what you have been doing on the internet, do you want that company to be able to use it for commerce -- commercial purposes without your consent that's the issue. now, if you want to protect people's privacy, i would think that you would want to require that an individual who has paid money for the internet provider to provide them with the internet and then you get on that internet and you go to whatever site you want and you do business, you do personal business, you do banking, you

and i think for all of the reasons that my colleague from massachusetts has talked about, senator nelson has been talking about, this idea of stripping from individuals the right to make these fundamental decisions and allowing the gatekeepers of the internet to collect, share, and profit from personal information of consumers without their consent is an extraordinary mistake for our country at this time. i serve on the senate select committee on intelligence, and i think for many people, these issues have in effect converged with respect to privacy policy as it relates to the private marketplace, which is what this ill-advised proposal that we're going to vote on today is all about. and the intelligence field. and we're constantly offered up ideas that suggest that you really are faced with what amounts to a flawed set of choices. in the intelligence area, we're consistently told, well, you just have to give up a little bit of liberty to have security. and the reality is liberty and security are not mutually exclusive. and smart policies give you both. they give you security and liberty
