senator from new hampshire. mrs. shaheen: madam president, the substitute amendment to h.r. 3055 contains the appropriations committee reported versions of four bills, agricultureinterior, transportation, housing and urban development, one bill and commerce, justice, science and related agencies. i was very excited to see today's earlier cloture vote which passed 88-5 to mean that we can see those four bills to help fund government move forward. no, the commerce, justice, and science portion or c.j.s. was reported out of the committee on a unanimous 31-0 vote. and i particularly care about this bill as ranking member on that subcommittee. this bill provides the -- the c.j.s. bill provides $78 billion to protect us from terrorists, to warn us about climate change, to enable fair trade, promote manufacturing and sustainable fisheries, partner with state and local law enforcement, and provide resources for the census to count every person in the united states fairly and accurately. c.j.s. subcommittee chairman moran and i took a collaborative approach to drafting this important bill. the c.j.s. subcommittee held substantive hearings, considered 1,564 individual an

senator and when he arrives, of course i'll yield. i'd ask unanimous consent that bob ross, a detailee on the agriculture subcommittee -- a detailee on the interior subcommittee, olivia matthews, an intern on my appropriations committee, be granted floor privileges for the length of the current debate and h.r. 3055, justice, science, agriculture, rural development, food and drug administration, interior and environment, veterans affairs, transportation, and housing and urban development appropriations act of 2020. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. leahy: mr. president, i was just talking with the distinguished senior senator from alabama a couple of minutes ago. i know he has spoken and we have begun consideration of the bill containing the fiscal year 2020 commerce, justice, science, agriculture, interior, transportation, housing, urban development. i mentioned this because all four of these bills are the product of hard work and bipartisan cooperation by each of the subcommittees. and they're reported from the appropriations committee unanimously. every single republican, every single democrat voted for it. and made critical investments in affordable housing and infrastructure, rural development, our fa

agriculture, something hugely important to my constituents in kansas and across the country, interior, transportation, housing and urban development. those four bills have passed unanimously out of the senate appropriations committee in september. every republican on the committee, every democrat on the committee voted in favor of them. i know in my own circumstance, the commerce, justice, science bill, i worked closely -- perhaps a better way so say it the ranking member of our subcommittee, the senator from new hampshire, senator shaheen and i worked closely together to try to find a path by which we could avoid those issues that would prevent us from finding an agreement that allowed our bill to move forward. i'm pretty certain that occurred in the other three subcommittees. and so presented tomorrow is an opportunity for the senate to take up four appropriation bills, four out of 12. and those four are ones that were unanimously agreed to by the appropriations committee. i commend the chairman shelby and vice chairman leahy in their efforts in the full committee to bring us together to get us in a position in which we have those four bills now soon i hope to be pending in front of the united states senate. why
