it had been pending for two days. everyone knew what's at issue.t is contentious and clearly controversial, but we deal with those issues. that's part of our job. and then at that point the process broke down and the republican side of the aisle objected to calling the amendment. and that's when the bill came grinding to a halt. and that's when senator levin said we know that after this amendment on f-22's, we're going to an amendment on hate crime legislation on the same bill, so he withdrew this amendment. i think clearly the answer to this, and one that i hope we can work out at the leadership level, is for the republicans to agree that we have a vote on this f-22 airplane. we should. senator mccain is anxious for that to happen so the bill can move forward. once that vote's out of the way we should also schedule a reasonable time for debate and a vote on the hate crimes legislation, which is not new. we have considered this before. but we are bogged down, and at this point tempers are flaring a little bit because this important bill is being he

coburn: is it pending? mr. president, is 1879 pending? the presiding officer: yes, it is. mr. coburn: thank you. the department of energy, one of its tasks in this country is to help us with energy efficiency, with a lot ofhings that we would expect to be within the department of energy. it is peculiar, however, that when the department of energy is looked at by themselves that they're highly inefficient cording to their own inspector general. with the utilization of energy. they have 9,000 buildings, the inspect r general said last year they wasted at least 13.8 million in energy costs. $13.8 million. $13.8 million they could have saved had they done some small, simple, straightforward things like they request every other agency in the federal government to do. isn't it ironic that the very agency that's telling all the rest of the agencies to save money by becoming efficient with their computers, by becoming efficient with their heating and cooling systems, by becoming efficient with their lighting, doesn't even follow their own rules? that they ask of the rest of the agenci

burr: what's the pending amendment? the presiding officer: the pending amendment is the kyl amendment. mr. burr: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent to set aside the pending amendment. the presiding officer: without objection, so ordered. mr. burr: mr. president, i would ask to call upl amendment 1554, the military spouse's residency relief act. the presiding officer: the clerk will report the amendment. the clerk: the senator from north carolina, mr. burr, for himself and others proposes an amendment numbered 1554. mr. burr: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that the amendment be considered as read. the presiding officer: without objection, so ordered. mr. burr: mr. president and my colleagues, this is a very simple amendment. it's called the military spouse's residency relief act. under current law our military men and women, about every three years are repositioned in the country or out of the country. their orders change. and when they make that change, it's beneficial to them and, i believe, to society that

to be very clear, the pending bill, h.r. 1018, contains no direct spending.e are not -- we are not creating an entitlement for horses. so the welfare joke falls completely flat. any increase in funding for the wild horse and burro program would be the result of appropriations, not this authorization bill. increasing the number of federal acres available to horses and burros from the current 13% of b.l.m. land back to the 20% available to them in 1971 should not cost the taxpayers anything. it is merely a 7% management adjustment, nothing more. our friends across the aisle always claimed the b.l.m. owns too much land. now, we don't think so, but they certainly own enough to accommodate horses and burros. furthermore, the management efficiencies and other parts of this bill will actually save money. here's what we're doing. increasing adoptions. contraception, and reducing overcrowding that will relieve the agency from having to round these animals up and care for them in long-term holding facilities, an expensive proposition. the status quo is the worst of bot

a conversation by the alaskan state legislature on august 10. -- pending confirmation.emarks will be brief. i would like to start by thanking the former governor for appointing me to serve as the commissioner of the department of military veterans affairs. i have enjoyed the four years i worked with him and appreciate his willingness to allow me to be on his cabinet and to serve at a state level in the great state of alaska. it was an important position to me. i think that did a good job. i think it was confirmed by my appreciative comments when i talk about sarah palin. sarah palin kept me on as the commissioner and the adjutant general. we had known each other a number of years. i first saw her when she was on the city council, a young, vibrant lady who wanted to push the envelope and make sure her community was represented. today, governor palin has stepped up to what she wants to do for the state and our country. for all of us and alaska, we should be honored and appreciative of what she has done. we do for all of us in alaska. -- for all of us in alaska.

the legislation now pending in congress is a tremendous step in that direction. we know from my written testimony that the administration appreciates the pending legislation supports much of it. although i cannot refer here to precise numbers, a significant number of cases have been referred for possible prosecution by joint teams of officials from doj and dealing -- and doa. it would be worth explaining the three essential principles that are embodied. the first is, the president stated in his speech that we need to use all elements of our national power to defeat our adversaries. that is including prosecution and article 3 courts a military commissions. second, article 3 courts, which have legitimacy are also effective in protecting national security and military commission. they are also fair and legitimate. i suspect there are many people in this room or elsewhere who might agree only with the first part of that sentence i just said. there will be others to agree only with the second part. we think both parts are right. that leads to the third and final princ
