i think that was true of tom carper, in the senate in and out and other people who have been elected in delaware. we're small, you know each other. you go to the same events. on the weekend you may bump into each other ten times. you might be at a delaware football game or a chicken festival. whatever the heck it may be. as a result, it's different than when you're sort of lobbing grenades at each other from television stations all over a big state. because of that personal knowledge, i think we have a sort of easier politics, if you will where he run gentz each other, but tend it to be more gentlemanly about it than you'll sigh in most states, i believe. >> that extrapolated to his national career in a way we're all appreciated now. >> absolutely. >> thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you, rachel. my pleasure. >>> we still have lots ade tonight, including some breaking but slightly confusing news about whether we have a new speaker of the house. we'll have that straight ahead. stay with us. >> so i've known him a very long time. i didn't stop liking him when hillary and h

are you early birds going to get a little angry now, these people joining up like tom carper, all thesether people joining the hillary band wagon, gonna lose some -- lose some clout, won't ya? >> listen, the best clout is having your candidate win. so i'm delighted to have everybody come on who has seen the light. i have to say, until you run those polls through the averages somebody like nate silver or 538 runs them through, i -- i am a little hesitant to believe there is a 40-point lead. you just got to keep your nose to the grind stone. when you're down, got to keep working. when you're up, got to keep working. see what happens. >> what does it look like out there, governor? hillary clinton looks like she has found her sea legs after the last debate. >> i think she has come across as the person she is. i think people are seeing that and seeing that she is not, you know, restrained. she is a natural person. people have always, you know, if you talk to people that knew them -- both president clinton and secretary clinton in the late '90s, more people gravit e gravitated to secretary cl

i would also like to thank chairman ron johnson and ranking member tom carper of the homeland security and governmental affairs committee for their efforts in this endeavor as well. in addition to broad bipartisan support in the senate, the federal computer security act enjoys support from key industry stakeholders. some of our nation's largest computer security firms support the bill, including semantic, adobe and c.a. technologies. several industry groups voiced their support including the business software alliance and the i.t. alliance for the public sector. i commend intelligence committee chairman burr and vice chairman feinstein for their leadership in managing this critical cybersecurity legislation. as leader mcconnell works to restore the senate to its proper function, i am grateful that we've been able to consider this legislation in an open and transparent fashion. by reinstating the open amendment process, we have not only been able to vote on dozens of amendments this year, we've been able to refine legislation for robust consideration and debate. i think we voted on appr

i particularly want to thank senator mccain, senator ron johnson, senator tom carper who worked hard to move this bill forward. i appreciate in particular the outstanding work of our chairman senator burke from north carolina and our vice chair senator feinstein from california. they work together seamlessly to move this challenging bill forward. it's worth noting something the vice chair recently said. she said one of the things i've learned from two prior bills of this type is that you really want to get a bill done it's got to be bipartisan particularly if the bill is technical and difficult and hard to put together. after watching the senate failed to act on cyber threat information sharing for years the new senate majority resolve to move forward instead. as a democratic colleague from california put it we stood shoulder-to-shoulder in the right things happen. yesterday's bipartisan vote was an important step or work for her country. it represents the latest notable comp was not bad but the american people. we remained determined to keep pushing ahead as congress continues its w

but tom carper is up for re-election -- >> wait a minute. >> hubert humphrey was the vice president, gave it up to run for president, lost, missed it so much, he came back two years later and reclaimed his senate seat. >> could he do that? >> hubert humphrey was able to get his old job back. joe biden's old job doesn't exist. whether he was in the minority or majority, spent most of his time in the majority, he wouldn't be in the majority there. it's a completely undesirable job. the interesting thing in this campaign now is that joe biden is going to be campaigning against hillary clinton and bernie sanders on the pacific trade deal, which is the single biggest obama administration agenda left. and he was saying that to them today, without saying pacific trade deal. he was saying very clearly to hillary clinton in that speech, i am going to be out there, i am going to be pushing this, along with the president, and every time you say something about it, i will be there. and so this is going to be a fascinating fight to watch. and they can't possibly think about endorsements until aft

that i don't like as the opener to begin building that consensus that went first with tom, then with senator carper coming on,ing then with our merkley-booker-whitehouse contingent and now most recently with senators durbin and markey joining us, he has been the thread that has made all that possible. and so i just wanted to close by expressing a personal appreciation to him for hanging in there through particularly that early period when there was not a lot of support for this in our caucus. and working with us and working with is senator inhofe and senar vitter to make the coalition we have today. congratulations to senator udall and thanks for letting me say a few words. mr. udall: senator whitehouse, thank you so much. i just want to say about senator whitehouse, i mean, this bill would not be where it is today unless we had that trio working in the environment and public works committee. i really believe that. they took the bill that was coming up, we had a hearing on it, and they really looked and analyzed it and applied all the principles that senator whitehouse and i both talked about, and

hard work of senators burr and feinstein and the constructive amendment that my senior senator, tom carper, added to the managers' amendment. i do believe this bill has made significant movement in the right direction. but i remain concerned and my amendment's purpose is to require the d.h.s. review all cyber threat indicators it receives and to remove personally identifying information by the most efficient means practicable. it would not necessarily, according to the amendment in the managers' package, be required that d.h.s. scrub unless multiple agency heads unanimously agree on the scrubbing process. and my amendment's purpose is to simply ensure that these privacy scrubs, done at machine speed, done in a responsible way, protect citizen privacy and our security. mr. president, i don't think we should be forced to choose between those two and i urge my colleagues to support my amendment. thank you. the presiding officer: the question occurs on the amendment.a senator: ask for the yeas and nays. the presiding officer: is there a sufficient second? there appears to be. the clerk will ca
