toomey: i thank my colleague from tennessee. i'll put aside how stunned i was to hear that my colleague from ohio suggests that maybe we want to emulate the communist managed economy of china as a good model for economic development. i -- that's just breathtaking to me. but i really want to stress the point that the senator from tennessee made, and that is the fact that this amendment has nothing to do china. we can go on all day about how outrageous some chinese behavior is in the trade space, and it's true. there is some really bad behavior. by the way, we need to address that. we would be able to address the theft of intellectual property if our allies were working with us to address that outrageous behavior, but it's hard to get your allies to work with you when you are hitting them with tariffs and the excuse is national security. let me just put a little bit of scale to this. our colleague suggested how important it is that these industries survive. i completely agree. domestic producers produce 75% of all the steel we con

blackburn of tennessee. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 918, the gentlewoman from tennessee, mrs. blackburn, and a member opposed each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from tennessee. mrs. blackburn: thank you, mr. chairman. this is an amendment that i propose each and every year because i think this is something that is worthy of discussion. we are facing $21 trillion in debt in this nation. we have annual deficits that continue to climb. and we have to look at how you are going to grow your way and cut your way out of this nation's debt. now, we know that this appropriations bill is something that is at $44.75 billion. a lot of hard work by the members of the appropriations committee has gone into this. and we appreciate that they have made an effort to keep the spending down. even some years they have been below the level that was actually enacted the previous year. this year's not the case. they're a little bit above. but they are working diligently. and i'm gratefu

>> senator from tennessee. >> i will be very brief. i know the senator from ohio wants to speak, and the senator from wyoming has been waiting. people in our nation are being hurt today. americans are being taxed heavily. a tariff is a tax on the american people. what the senator from ohio is doing is saying that the senate should not even vote on a measure to alleviate the pain that americans are going to feel, the jobs that are going to be lost, over the next couple of months as this trade war continues. and i'm just disappointed. i cannot believe with the zeal that we both came into the senate, 11 1/2 years ago, to debate and deal with the big issues of our nation and to have an amendment that supported in a bipartisan way when people know when they know that the trade policy that is being put forth by this administration is being made up on a daily basis, and they know that jobs are going to be lost. farmers are already hurt. we cannot even vote on an amendment, even though we may disagree, vote on an amendment, so on this day, jun

senator from tennessee. >> madam president, i don't even know where to start. the senator from ohio is a friend of mine who we came in together at the same time. he's written books on labor and trade and i respect the fact that he knows a great deal about the topic. we served together on a banking committee and i respect him. much of what he just said was focused on china. i've never heard of a trade policy where you have a country like china who is in fact something steel round the world because it's in their interest. i've never heard of a trade policy where you punish your friends in order to get, so we are punishing canada and mexico, were fortunate to live in the neighborhood that we live in to have neighbors like we have, we are punishing our european allies who have been with us for centuries in order to get china. it makes no sense.t, as a matter of fact i haven't heard a person has gone to the white house to talk about what they're putting in place to come back over here and be able to articulate anything coherent about thatbo policy. i haven't heard a

we have 929 auto suppliers in 86 of 95 of tennessee's counties. one-third of all of our manufacturing jobs and nothing has happened in the last 40 years to move us from the third poorest state in average family incomes up toward the middle and heading toward the top. it's been the greatest source of benefit for tennessee families of anything that has happened and so you can see why i have become concerned when anything threatens that. a 25% tariff on aluminum and a 10% on steel and a 10% tariff on aluminum threatens that because almost every one of those 929 auto parts suppliers use aluminum and steel in making their parts for cars and trucks that will be sold in the united states and exported around the world. so if your price goes up, what usually happens is your profits go down, your sales go down, and your wages don't go up as fast or jobs might disappear. that's what happened when president george w. bush did the same thing at the beginning of his term. i had just come to the united states senate? 2003. -- in 2003. president bush tried to pro

the presiding officer: the senator from tennessee. mr. corker: mr. president, i rise to speak on the ndaa bill that is before us today, and i think most people know that we have been engaged in some tariff discussions with other countries through the administration. we have a trade act of 1974 and one of 1962 that have laid out provisions as to how we would go about dealing with tariffs. in one section, section 232, there is a place where the president of the united states can declare something a national it keeps him from havingheoe to go through the normal processes that one goes through in dealing with tariffs. typically when the president chooses a section of that bill, the trade act, when he uses those, he has to go through a process when he decides he wants to put a tariffnla o other country he's got to go the i.t.c. or some other entity to show that somehow or another the united states has been harmed, and the reason -- the reason that he would be putting in place tariffs. what our president has chosen to do in recent times is decl

i'm tennessee secretary of state, trey harrgate. and now more than ever we are using social media and technology to do outreach with voters. so in tennessee we continue to try and do more and more, as previous panels have talked about, mr. jackson earlier, we talked about disabilities, talk about meeting people, where they are. and in the previous panel, referred to our uacava voters as customers. and at the end of the day, voters are our customer. but also, potential voters are our customers. there's a lot of people who don't know how to become voters. don't know what the process is to register to vote and how to participate in that process. so we're always looking for new ways to how to get people to engage in that process. and tennessee, we have done a couple of different things that we're talking about this year. talking about today. we've recently produced an in-house video that talks about how to register to vote in the state of tennessee. and how we advertise that. and by the way, it's about a 60-minute video. we break it int

when tennessee is reoccupied by federal forces lincoln appoints johnson at military governor of tennessee and johnson's service as military governor of tennessee is really one of the few successes along that line that lincoln can boast. so choosing johnson to be his running mate in 1864 seemed like the perfectly logical thing until it turned out that it wasn't the perfectly logical thing. they started to see signs of this very early on. johnson shows up for his inauguration, first of all, he wrote to lincoln and said die -- do i really have to come for your inauguration? that really was not the question he wanted to be asking. and, of course, he was told, you have to be here. so there he is, on the fourth of march, 1865, he shows up and he has a cold. he's been self-medicating himself with whiskey. he's sworn into office in the senate chamber, and delivers a long rambling address that makes it very clear from the start that the man is drunk. it's so bad, that hannibal hamlin sitting behind him has to tug on the coattails to say -- you're done. you're done. scott: [laughter] allen: going o

the presiding officer: the senator from tennessee. mr. corker: i'm going to make a few comments here. i want to thank senator inhofe for working with me. i realize there's a lot happeng here. know he's conducting to the best of his ability the progression of this bill. jus leaveat that. mr. president, i was asked to find a solution to this blue slip issue, and i found one that's used as customarily as waking up in the morning and drinking a cup of coffee. it happens all the time. this in no way has any effect on our ability to pass the ndaa in a timely fashion. but i am in no way countering the person who just spoke. i'm not, and he knows i'm not. i am going to speak to a larger issue. but before i do it, i want to point out the ndaa usually passes each year in november or december. it usually doesn't pass in june. so even if there were something that needed to be worked out, we would be way ahead of schedule in dealing with this as we are between now and august. but, mr. president, if i could, these bills germaneness has nothing whatsoev
