This decision to reduce the royalty rate will allow this critical Wyoming industry to remain competitive.\r\nToday's long-awaited action will give Wyoming soda ash producers the certainty we need to stay competitive in the global market, Barrasso said. American soda ash supports thousands of jobs across the country in a variety of sectors, including mineral production, cleaning supplies, glass and manufacturing. For too long, American producers have had to battle unfair foreign trade practices of China and other countries. Lowering the royalty rate will level the playing field against China and preserve these high-paying jobs in Wyoming.\r\nWyoming is home to the largest deposit of trona in the world and the soda ash it creates is a critical component in products we use every day. Senators Enzi, Barrasso and I have been working to secure a reduction in the industry-wide soda ash royalty rate as an essential step to ensuring Wyoming producers remain competitive in the global market against foreign competitors like China. This long-awaited royalty rate reduction will empower soda ash producers across our state to expand operations and create much-needed job opportunities and economic growth as we continue to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, Cheney said.\r\nBackground:\r\nNatural soda ash, also known as sodium carbonate, is a raw material used to manufacture glass, detergents, and other industrial goods. Natural soda ash is produced from trona, a mineral found in high concentrations on federal land, primarily in California and Wyoming.\r\nThe United States exports almost 60 percent of its natural soda ash. For years, China has sought to capture the global market share from U.S. soda ash producers through unfair trade practices. China's value-added tax (VAT) rebate for its own synthetic soda ash producers has artificially driven down prices in the global marketplace.\r\nIn August 2020, the Bureau of Land Management released its final rule to streamline the royalty rate reduction process for non-energy solid leasable minerals, including soda ash. The rule is estimated to save up to $5 million in regulatory costs over the next decade, helping the U.S. compete globally and supporting American jobs.\r\n                                                ###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://www.barrasso.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-releases?ContentRecord_id=1B78D423-A063-432D-B511-8418525FDFDC", "Barrasso Coal, Uranium Legislation Headed To Presidents Desk", "2020-12-21", "2020", "2020-12", "Republican", "Senate", "WY", "John Barrasso", "B001261", "www.barrasso.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "WASHINGTON, D.C.  Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) released the following statement after Congress passed a government funding bill that includes key provisions from his bipartisan coal to products bill and his bipartisan bill to extend and expand limits on Russian uranium imports. Barrasso also praised the inclusion of $75 million in funding for a national uranium reserve.\r\nWyoming energy scored two big wins today. Bipartisan legislation to promote new and innovative ways to use coal and help boost Wyoming's uranium production is headed to the president's desk.\r\nWyoming has led the way in domestic coal production for decades. While coal continues to help keep the lights on across the county, it's more than just a power source. Carbon from coal can be used in products as diverse as water filters, automobile bodies, bikes, and building products. The inclusion of key provisions of our coal to products bill will encourage investment and create new jobs in Wyoming and across the country.\r\nRussia continues to undercut Wyoming's uranium producers by flooding the market with cheap nuclear fuel. Vladimir Putin also uses uranium as a geopolitical weapon. In order to stop this, our legislation sets clear limits on imports of uranium from Russia. This is a win-win for our energy security and national security.\r\nFinally, the creation and funding of a national uranium reserve is long overdue. This reserve will help preserve and strengthen uranium production in Wyoming and ensure America will always have the fuel it needs to power our nuclear reactors.\r\nBackground:\r\nOn Dec. 12, 2019, Barrasso along with Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) introduced S. 3047, the Creating Opportunities And Leveraging Technologies for Coal Carbon Act, or COAL TeCC Act, to advance research and promote coal-derived carbon products. Some of these coal products include carbon fiber, graphite and carbon foam. The FY21 Omnibus contains key language contained in the COAL TeCC Act. The bill directs DOE to establish a 2-year pilot program, one in each of the two major coal-producing regions of the United States. The pilot programs are meant to help coal-derived carbon products reach the commercialization phase.\r\nOn Sept. 25, 2020, Barrasso and Senator Martin Heinrich (D-NM) introduced S. 4694, the Russian Suspension Agreement Extension Act of 2020. The legislation extends and expands limits on Russian uranium imports. Barrasso and Heinrich's bill is co-sponsored by Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Joe Manchin (D-WV), Jim Risch (R-ID), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), and Tom Cotton (R-AR).\r\nThe Russian Suspension Agreement Extension Act of 2020 will:\r\n Reduce reliance on Russian uranium imports in order to protect national security;   Strengthen the supply chain for nuclear fuel produced in the United States;   Close loopholes that hurt American uranium producers; and   Require the secretary of Energy to submit a report updating Congress on the steps being taken to accurately measure uranium imports.  ###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://www.barrasso.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-releases?ContentRecord_id=65AC2A38-79E4-486B-A36F-D7577B628D83", "Barrasso: Relief Is on the Way", "2020-12-21", "2020", "2020-12", "Republican", "Senate", "WY", "John Barrasso", "B001261", "www.barrasso.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "WASHINGTON, D.C.

Barrasso.\r\n  WASHINGTON, D C.  U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) appeared on Fox News Sunday this morning to discuss how Congress will not leave until they have a Covid-19 relief bill for the American people. Barrasso also previewed what the confirmation process for Biden's cabinet nominees will look like in the U.S. Senate.  Below are key excerpts of the interview: On Getting COVID Relief Bill Done Today:\r\nThis gets done today, no more delays. We're not leaving until we have relief for the American people. People are hurting, people need help and there are two things we need to do to write this final chapter on coronavirus and one is to get people vaccinated. We're doing that now. 20 million people will be vaccinated by New Year's Eve.\r\nBut we need to provide help for the American public, people who have been struggling, until we get enough people vaccinated that we can fully get the economy back on track. And that means people back to work, getting kids back to school. So direct payment checks to the American people, $600. For people who are watching, if they got a check last time, they will get a check again this time. Adults and children.\r\nOn Helping Small Businesses, Unemployed:\r\nFor people who are out of work through no fault of their own, $300 a week for enhanced unemployment going into next year. And for the small businesses and the working families all across America, we were going to do more paycheck protection loans so those small businesses can stay open, so people can get paychecks all the way through. This has been a very successful program. 13,000 small businesses in Wyoming have used this program. It's a little more specific this time in that the business has to be fewer than 300 employees and they actually have to show a loss. But that's the way we get this disease behind us.\r\nOn Democrats Delaying a Deal:\r\nWe need to get this done today. The president is right in that this is no fault of the American people. We should have done this months ago had not Nancy Pelosi played politics through the fall because of the presidential election. She has admitted as much. We had a bill pretty comparable to what we are going to pass today and we've offered it by Republicans time and time again. The Democrats beat it down 40 different times. This has been wrong, the delay has been too long. We need to get it done now for Christmas.\r\nOn Biden Cabinet Nominees:\r\nA couple things. It looks like the Biden cabinet would be a third term of the Obama administration. That didn't sit really well in Wyoming. We have a role to advise and consent on these nominees, which is why the election coming up in Georgia is so critical in the control of the Senate. Why I want to make sure that Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue get elected there.\r\nBecause if you want accountability, and not just a rubber-stamp for a Joe Biden cabinet, you need to have people like me as chairman of the Energy Committee. So we will have hearings, ask the tough questions, but we are not going to forget what happened with President Trump's administration and the delayed process that went through it.\r\nOn Senate Confirmation Process for Biden Nominees:\r\nSo it's not going to be a garden party if the Republicans are in the majority. These nominees are going to have to run the gauntlet. In terms of specific nominees you ask about, I'm from Wyoming, it's an energy state. Here's my concern. With regards to energy, Joe Biden has repeatedly said he's against exploration for energy, a lot of exporting of energy, so his nominee for the Secretary of Energy has said this. She said, We ought to be doing everything we possibly can to keep fossil fuel energy in the ground.'\r\nThe impact of that on our economy, on jobs, it cuts the throat of my state, our economy, the men and women who work there, the energy that America needs. It's going to drive up costs significantly for American families, so you bet I'm going to ask tough questions.                                                   ###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z",

Liz Cheney (R-WY), Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI),HASC Ranking Member Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-TX), incoming HASC Ranking Member Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL),HASC Strategic Forces Subcommittee Ranking MemberRep. Mike Turner (R-OH), and HASCIntelligence,  Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee Ranking Member Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY)  all members of the House Armed Services Committee  issued a joint statement highlighting the critical provisions in the FY 2021 NDAA that will bolster America's cybersecurity defenses.\nThe statement comesfollowing reportsof serious coordinated cyberattacks launched by the Kremlin against federal government agencies:\nOur nation must respond to the reported cyber espionage operation targeting America's nuclear infrastructure and federal government and hold the perpetrator accountable. This attack serves as a stark warning that our nation must bolster its cybersecurity posture and capabilities, and it must do so without delay. This year's national defense bill contains over two dozen provisions that would make critical progress in cybersecurity, including provisions that would help ensure the resiliency of our nation's nuclear command and control systems. The NDAA also fully funds long overdue modernization of our nuclear infrastructure, including $375 million to bolster cyber security of our nuclear weapons production facilities. There is no doubt that our adversaries will take advantage of any opportunity to attack vulnerabilities in our cyber infrastructure. The measures in this year's bill will provide critical safeguards to protect the information and capabilities most foundational to our nation's security.\nIn addition to the above statement from the lawmakers, the information below includes key specifics about the provisions included in the FY 2021 NDAA that will make critical progress our country's cybersecurity defenses:\nBACKGROUND\nThe FY21 NDAA adopts26 recommendations from the bipartisan Cyber Solarium Commissionthat strengthen the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, empower the government to better protect against a cyber-attack against adversaries, and safeguard our nuclear enterprise. This is in addition to overall nuclear modernization and NNSA cyber security investments in the bill.\nThe most notable of those measures include:\n Ensuring Cyber Resiliency of Nuclear Command and Control Systems:The FY21 NDAA requires the Department of Defense to implement a comprehensive plan that strengthens the cyber defense of nuclear command and control systems.Strengthening Cyber Security at the Nation's Nuclear Weapons Production FacilitiesAmerica's nuclear deterrent is the bedrock of our national security and reported hacks at the Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security Administration(NNSA) mayrepresentanextraordinarily grave threatto the safety of every American.In recognition that cyber infrastructure modernization is an important part of the overall nuclear modernization plan, the FY21 NDAA specifically authorizes $375.5 million for information technology and cyber security within the NNSA's weapons activities accounts.Establishinga National Cyber Director The FY21 NDAA creates the National Cyber Director(NCD)position in the White House to serve as the president's principal advisor on cyber issues and as a point of coordination and leadership within the federal government on these issues. In situations like this, the NCD would provide centralized White House leadership to coordinate federal response efforts and liaise with critical private-sector stakeholders.Strengtheningthe Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) The FY21 NDAA contains several provisions aimed at strengthening CISA's capacity to carry out its mission, including a provision authorizing CISA to conduct threat hunting on U.S. government networks. In addition, the Cyberspace Solarium Commission is calling on appropriators to increase funding to CISA to build out more Hunt and Incident Response Teams (HIRTs).Early reporting from affected departments and agencies suggests that CISA's incident response capacities may be overwhelmed. More HIRTs would bolster CISA capacity to assist departments and agencies in responding to the incident in a timely manner.Better threat hunting on the .gov domain would have identified the campaign earlier on and possibly stopped the attack in its tracks.CISA is and will continue to be crucial in both identifying and responding to cybersecurity incidents on federal government networks.Strengtheningan Integrated Cyber Center The FY21 NDAA contains a provision calling on the Secretary of Homeland Security to conduct a review of federal cybersecurity centers and propose a plan to establish an integrated cyber center at CISA to improve coordination among federal government cybersecurity centers.A stronger integrated cyber center would help facilitate greater information exchange between federal departments and agencies, helping to quickly paint a clearer picture of the scope and scale of incidents like this and to inform incident response and the allocation of critical incident response capabilities.Protecting Against Industrial Espionage and Cyber TheftThe FY21 NDAA contains a requirement for a Presidential assessment on the effectiveness of the National Cyber Strategy to deter industrial espionage and large-scale cyber theft of intellectual property and personal information conducted by China.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://cheney.house.gov/2020/12/16/cheney-speaker-pelosi-is-not-serious-about-the-national-security-threat-from-china/", "Cheney on Fox & Friends: Speaker Pelosi Is Not Serious About The National Security Threat From China", "2020-12-16", "2020", "2020-12", "Republican", "Senate", "WY", "Liz Cheney", "C001109", "cheney.house.gov", null, null, "legacy", "Washington This morning, Wyoming Congresswoman and House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) joined Fox and Friends to discuss Speaker Pelosi's failure to address the national security threat created by Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) followingreportsthat Rep. Swalwell had a connection and relationship with Chinese Communist Party (CCP) spy.\nWatch the full interview hereand see excerpts of her answers below:\n\nSTEVE DOOCY: Wyoming Republican Congresswoman and House GOP Conference Chair Liz Cheney joins us right now from the Russell Rotunda. Congresswoman, good morning to you.\nREP. LIZ CHENEY: Good morning, great to be with you guys, as always.\nDOOCY: It's good to have you as well. Does Eric Swalwell represent a national security hazard?\nREP. CHENEY: I think that he does. I think there are real questions about the extent to which he was clearly cultivated, financial support was provided by this bundling by this Chinese spy. It sounds like she placed an intern in his office, and I think the real question is why Speaker Pelosi hasn't taken action. You've watched her, again and again, treat her responsibility over the Intelligence Committee with something less than seriousness. At this moment where we face grave national security threats. Not only has she let Congressman Swalwell stay on that committee, not taking action, she diverted the attention to that committee for months and months and months on to impeachment, instead of being focused on the threat from China, the threat of the coronavirus, for example, so I think it's an issue of grave concern, she needs to take action and that's why we sent the letter.\nDOOCY: Well she said, you know, last week she wasn't concerned but at the same time, she's the one who heard from law enforcement or the Intel Community that Swalwell had been, you know, compromised by this Chinese asset, but it was her judgment, even though she heard that, to put him on the committee.\nREP. CHENEY: Right, and I think, you know, on the whole issue of the threat that China poses to the United States, this is a grave, grave threat, and we've got to have bipartisan agreement on being able to work together to defend this nation across-the-board from that threat. It's one of the reasons it was so disappointing that the Speaker said she wasn't going to participate in the China Task Force that the Leader setup in the House. It's one of the reasons, frankly, why the National Defense Authorization Act is so critically important. It has really important language in it that helps to protect against Chinese industrial espionage, helps us to be much more independent, our supply chains, and to protect our bases from the threat of Chinese espionage. We really need to make sure, across-the-board, we're defending ourselves.\nDOOCY: Congresswoman, we've been talking about the Swalwell case for a while, but we had Tom Cotton on with us a little while ago, the Senator from across the chamber there.\nREP. CHENEY: I know Tom.\nDOOCY: You do know Tom, we all know Tom. And I asked him, why exactly did he think the New York Times has not even touched this story about Swalwell and China? And listen to Tom Cotton's answer  I was told we had it, but apparently we don't, so, I'm going to go \nREP. CHENEY: I heard it the first time.\nDOOCY: He said, it makes you wonder how deeply in the pocket of Chinese interest on these major media corporations, the New York Times, Washington Post has gotten money from running Chinese propaganda over the years and many TV stations are owned or affiliated with major movie studios who are trying to get access to the Chinese theatre market. I was using my Tom Cotton voice, in a quick way there.\nREP. CHENEY: There's no question. I mean, look at things like the Mulan movie that came out recently where they actually thanked the Chinese government entity that runs the concentration camps that the Uyghurs are now in and look at things like the NBA where players are absolutely condemned, they're not even allowed to speak out in support of human rights in Hong Kong. The Chinese Communist Party, the Chinese government has managed to infiltrate at the highest levels of our entertainment industry, of our media, certainly we've got, you know, we know they've been engaged in the hack of personnel information. It's a very serious, very significant threat, and the fact that Speaker Pelosi refuses to address the situation with Congressman Swalwell, she's called it a diversion when we've said to her, we need to make sure we're protected against this threat from China. She's simply not serious about the threat. We as a nation cannot afford to have somebody as a Speaker of the House, who's not serious about the most important national security threat we face.\nDOOCY: Do you worry there are fellow Members of Congress who may be, right now, influenced by China?\nREP. CHENEY: Look, I think we all have to protect ourselves. We all have to assume, we know from what we've seen publicly, we know what the Chinese Communist Party is attempting to do, and I think we've all got to assume that they're targeting anybody that they can target. We've got to make sure that people understand. Look, I think that the coronavirus, the extent to which they caused that to be spread around the world, has really shown a spotlight on the nature of that regime and has really focused the attention of not just people in the United States, but our allies around the world on the threat that they pose, and how important it is we protect ourselves by moving supply chains, by ending our dependence on the Chinese government for things like rare-earth minerals, how important it is that we make sure our allies do not allow Huawei to have access to their 5G systems. They are a real threat and they do not, we do not want to live in a world where the Chinese Communist Party sets the rules. That is going to be a world in which their massive individual surveillance state is imposed on all of us. We've got to stand up against it, America has to lead the way in doing that.\nDOOCY: And now some people are just finally waking up to the threat it has been posing for a while. Representative Cheney, thank you very much for joining us. Have a safe trip as you travel back to Wyoming to be with your family over the holiday.\nREP. CHENEY: Thank you, you guys too. Merry Christmas, everybody.\nDOOCY: Merry Christmas, thank you.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://www.barrasso.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-releases?ContentRecord_id=E3E56E00-FFA8-47C7-BABF-5AC3FCF296A2", "Barrasso: Democrats Should Join Republicans on COVID-19 Relief", "2020-12-16", "2020", "2020-12", "Republican", "Senate", "WY", "John Barrasso", "B001261", "www.barrasso.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "America and Americans shouldn't have to choose between staying open and staying healthy. We need both, and Congress needs to provide a path beyond the pandemic.\r\nClick here to watch Sen. Barrasso's remarks.\r\nWASHINGTON, D.C.  Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) spoke on the Senate floor about the need for Democrats to join Republicans in passing COVID-19 relief legislation for Americans.\r\nHe also spoke about the triumph of the new COVID-19 vaccine and its distribution.\r\nExcerpts of Senator Barrasso's remarks:\r\nI come to the floor today to ask our Democrat colleagues to join us, the Republicans, in providing immediate relief.\r\nRelief in the fight against coronavirus, and relief, economic relief, for the people of this country.\r\nAmericans don't ask much of their government, but they are asking us for something right now.\r\nNumber one, they are asking to help control the spread of the coronavirus, and number two, they are asking to help with an economic recovery.\r\nAmerica and Americans shouldn't have to choose between staying open and staying healthy. We need both, and Congress needs to provide a path beyond the pandemic.\r\nA path forward is something Republicans have been proposing now for a long time. We've done it first with the CARES Act, and we need to do it right now with additional coronavirus and economic relief legislation.\r\nOur bill is practical. It supports our neighborhoods, the men and women working on Main Street and our small towns and communities all across the country.\r\nWe also need to provide unemployment help for those who for no reason of their own happen to find themselves out of work as a result of the pandemic.\r\nWe need to get the vaccine to as many Americans as we can, as quickly and safely as we can. Especially during this holiday season when we are really looking at a medical miracle.\r\nWhat we've seen from the other side is gridlock. No path forward on the economy, no path forward on coronavirus.\r\nWe've seen them play politics with the pandemic.\r\nHouse and Senate Republicans have tried now 40 times, 40 different times, to get something accepted that can be sent to provide that relief for the American public.\r\nThe Democrats, each and every time, blocked it.\r\nThe gridlock must end today.\r\nI would like to spend just a moment on this historic vaccine discovery.\r\nIt is, to me as a doctor, comparable to insulin, comparable to the vaccine for polio, comparable to penicillin as an antibiotic. It's going to be that dramatic in terms of the change in the world.\r\nAs we gather on the floor today, planes, trucks, UPS, Federal Express, all taking vaccines across the country, many, many locations, over 636 this first week.\r\nIt's not just a scientific triumph; it's also a logistical triumph.\r\nEvery newspaper in the country yesterday, I believe, had a picture of someone receiving the vaccine, receiving the shot, in that local community.\r\nIt's a remarkable time for our nation. As Christmas packages are being delivered, so is this great hope for people receiving the vaccine.\r\nAll told, this week 3 million doses distributed to people around the country, 636 sites.\r\nIn my state alone, Wyoming, five different locations where the vaccine has arrived.\r\nOver five thousand people being vaccinated this week, by the end of the year 15 thousand.\r\nThe frontline workers are getting it first and that's the way we need to do it.\r\nAs part of the CARES Act, $10 billion went to help develop the vaccine, money spent to distribute the vaccine, but we need to do more.\r\nAbout $6 billion is additionally needed to help in a full distribution of the vaccine.\r\nI am ready to vote for that. I want to make sure we have that money so the vaccine, which has been amazing in the speed of development, can also be deployed similarly.\r\nThis vaccine has done on an unprecedented scale the number of people who are going to be vaccinated, the success, the timeline. A safe, effective, powerful vaccine. It is truly astonishing.\r\nNever has a vaccine been developed or distributed faster.\r\nIt truly is the Senate, under the CARES Act, and this administration under Operation Warp Speed, which stood this operation up and made it successful.\r\nSo we're seeing the real effects as people are getting the shot.\r\nWhen you think about it in the big picture, this is what we talk about when we talk about American ingenuity. Its why people around the world look to America for answers. Because when things that are critical occur, it's America that finds the solutions as we have done right now with this vaccine.\r\nWe've come together, public as well as private sector over the last eight months, and the FDA approved a vaccine.\r\nWho should get it first?\r\nIt's the doctors and nurses and firefighters who are getting it here in the District of Columbia, and I know firefighters have been getting it at home in Wyoming. People that are health care providers.\r\nAnd of course, those who are most vulnerable. People who are in our nursing homes right now, assisted living facilities, people who are most vulnerable. That's who should get it first.\r\nBut I know when the time comes for me, I'm going to get it. My wife's going to get it. We will be saying yes, because I believe it's safe, I believe its effective and I believe it is the solution that gets us through the disease and gets the economy back on track.\r\nI talked to one of the doctors who runs the intensive care unit at the Wyoming Medical Center.\r\nThe health care personnel are exhausted. They've been working double shifts. If one gets sick, the others have to pick up the workload as more and more people show up in the hospitals and emergency rooms with coronavirus.\r\nThis is very welcome relief.\r\nI just talked to a physician, she works in the emergency room, and she's going to be vaccinated on Friday.\r\nThe pundits talk about the dark winters of the coronavirus surge, but for the health care providers in our home communities, they have to keep the doors open every day and keep the lights on and take care of these patients one after another, after another.\r\nOnce the first one came and the wave hit different parts of the country at different times, once the first patient came, they continued to come. And they're still coming today.\r\nAnd that's why this vaccine is such a welcome relief and why for the health care providers who have done such remarkable work, we can say this is their finest hour.\r\nWe need to do more in this body. We have health care workers leading by example. We have folks in assisted living, and close to half of the folks who lost their lives because of coronavirus were residents of assisted living.\r\nOf those millions of health care workers, we need to make sure that the vaccines continue to flow to them and to all people in this country and it is by doing that, that we will put this disease behind us. We will go back to our strong, robust, growing economy.\r\nOur kids will be back full time in school. Universities will be returning to the robust future that we know is ahead of them.\r\nAnd it's because of the work of this body months ago through the CARES Act, but our work is not done.\r\nAs we approach the Christmas holiday, there is more work to be done.\r\nAnd I turn to my colleagues on the other side of the aisle and say please join us this holiday season to make sure the American people who don't ask for much, are able to continue to keep their lives on track and move forward into the year 2021 with a vaccine available to everyone and for a much better New Year.\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://cheney.house.gov/2020/12/15/cheney-colleagues-to-pelosi-you-must-remove-rep-swalwell-from-his-position-on-hpsci/", "Cheney & Colleagues To Pelosi: You Must Remove Rep.

"legacy", "Wyoming: Take the Coronavirus Vaccine for You, Your Family and Friends   By John Barrasso, M.D.   Dec. 13, 2020  Casper Star Tribune\r\nFor most of us in Wyoming, 2020 brought many challenges. As we head into 2021, we can celebrate a new year with some much-needed encouraging news: We have multiple effective vaccines for COVID-19.\r\nDuring the past year, the federal government has focused on Operation Warp Speed. This is a true private-public partnership, involving America's best scientists, business, military and health care leaders. The goal was to create and distribute a safe, potent and effective vaccine for COVID-19. That goal was achieved in record time.\r\nThis is a historic achievement. This is the quickest a vaccine has ever been developed. In terms of saving lives, this vaccine rivals the discovery of insulin or penicillin.\r\nTwo vaccines will be available nationwide before the first of the year. We expect several more to be approved next year. Doses are already being distributed across the country. We expect up to 15,000 doses in Wyoming before January 1.\r\nIn the Senate, I scrutinized this process closely. I attended briefings, read the scientific reports and spoke directly with medical experts. After reviewing all of the science and results of the medical trials, I can say clearly and without hesitation: These vaccines work.\r\nDon't just take my word for it. Read the scientific literature yourself. There is plenty of detailed information publicly available.\r\nFor example, you will find that the vaccine from Pfizer is 95 percent effective. The clinical trials involved 44,000 volunteers. Half received the vaccine and half received a placebo. The results? Only eight people who received the vaccine contracted COVID-19. Of those eight, only one had a serious case.\r\nThe side effects were minor. The most common were injection site reactions, like a sore arm, and fatigue and headache. That's it. These reactions can occur after any type of vaccine.\r\nIf you remain skeptical, read the information, speak with your health care provider and come to your own conclusion. As a doctor who took care of patients in Wyoming for 24 years, I'll make my opinion clear.\r\nMy wife Bobbi and I will be taking the vaccine. We will wait our turn. The state of Wyoming has developed a detailed vaccine distribution plan. Health care workers, frontline workers and people with underlying medical conditions will be first. Once we are eligible, Bobbi and I will get the vaccine.\r\nAs a medical professional, I recognize that some people cannot take vaccines for legitimate medical reasons. The vast majority of people, can.\r\nThere is no federal mandate. People will make their own decisions. This is about personal responsibility. It's about looking out for your spouse, your children, your parents and your grandparents. It's about guarding against a potentially life-threatening illness.\r\nThe COVID-19 pandemic has brought death, isolation, suffering and hardship. Folks in nursing homes couldn't see their loved ones. Nurses and doctors worked double shifts caring for gravely ill patients. Small business owners struggled to keep their doors open.\r\nA vaccine is the quickest way we can return to a normal life and fully reopen our economy in Wyoming.\r\nFinally, your COVID-19 vaccine is free. Congress passed legislation to ensure that everybody in America who wants a vaccine will receive one, at no charge, regardless of their insurance situation.\r\nThe end of the COVID-19 pandemic is in sight. We can beat this virus once and for all by getting the vaccine. I certainly will.\r\n                                               ###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["http://www.enzi.senate.gov//public/index.cfm/news-releases?ContentRecord_id=051842FB-B25A-434D-B0D8-91235F523A12", "Senate passes defense bill to strengthen military, includes Enzi priorities to support rare earth industries", "2020-12-11", "2020", "2020-12", "Republican", "Senate", "WY", "Michael Enzi", "E000285", "www.enzi.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "U.S. Senator Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., applauded the Senate today for passing critical defense policy legislation that would strengthen America's military, national security and domestic rare earth supply chain while improving the quality of life for our nation's service members.\r\nI'm glad the Senate passed this important defense bill that prioritizes quality of life for our troops and their families while also supporting our American mining industry, Enzi said. I'm especially pleased that the legislation included provisions to strengthen America's rare earth processing and manufacturing. I have been working to ensure that the supply chain for rare earths, from the mining to the refining, is done right here in this country  and better yet, in the state of Wyoming.\r\nThe legislation includes provisions that would:\r\n \r\nSupport Enzi's priority of developing a domestic supply chain for rare earth minerals by prohibiting the acquisition of rare earth materials from non-allied foreign countries to encompass the entire supply chain.\r\n \r\n \r\nRequire the secretary of defense to report to Congress on information about rare earth materials, improvements to the supply chain, and evaluation of domestic processing and manufacturing.\r\n \r\n \r\nProhibit the reduction of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMS).\r\n \r\nThe NDAA also includes one of Enzi's amendments that requires a list of partnership opportunities on the government's contracting website. Many small Department of Defense contractors, including those that produce rare earth elements, are often not aware of these partnership opportunities, making them disadvantaged relative to bigger contractors.\nThe bill would provide a 3% pay raise to troops and increased hazard pay, establishes the Pacific Deterrence Initiative to counter China and makes investments in 5G and artificial intelligence. \nThe Senate passed the NDAA with an 84-13 vote. The House passed the same bill earlier this week with a 355-78 vote.

The National Defense Authorization Act is how we keep America safe. For 60 consecutive years, Congress has passed this bill.\r\nThe NDAA gives the troops a well-deserved raise. It provides them with cutting-edge technology to maintain American military superiority on any battlefield. The bill also funds important defense projects at F. E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyoming.\r\nThis critical defense bill also keeps China and Russia in check. We successfully included legislation I've championed to expand U.S. sanctions on companies involved in installing Russia's Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. Sanctions will help us stop this pipeline and eliminate this Russian geopolitical weapon.\r\nI'm proud to support our men and women in uniform by voting for the NDAA.\r\nKey provisions for Wyoming:   Ground Based Strategic Deterrent Minuteman III ICBM Replacement Program  $1.5 billion.   MH-139 Helicopter Program Air Force Security Forces  $194 million.   F.E. Warren Weapons Storage Facility Military Construction $12 million\r\nNord Steam 2 Pipeline:   Barrasso co-sponsored legislation that clarifies and expands U.S. sanctions related to Nord Stream 2, applying them to vessels engaged in all pipe-laying activities.    The sanctions were also extended to those facilitating or providing vessels, insurance, port facilities, or tethering services for those vessels, and ultimately to any company providing certification for the Nord Stream 2 pipeline to begin operations.\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["http://www.enzi.senate.gov//public/index.cfm/news-releases?ContentRecord_id=5B93CE8B-B92E-49F5-92E9-CFC05A5B9836", "Enzi announces 2021 nominations for U.S. service academies", "2020-12-10", "2020", "2020-12", "Republican", "Senate", "WY", "Michael Enzi", "E000285", "www.enzi.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "U.S. Senator Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., nominated 19 Wyoming residents for the United States service academies for 2021.

Young people from Wyoming demonstrate their patriotism and willingness to serve their country by applying to our service academies every year.

LIZ CHENEY:Every one of us lined up on these steps, every single member on the other side of the aisle, we all represent thousands, thousands of people, thousands of small businesses who are hurting. And when I watch what Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats are doing, there are many times that we've come up here and raised our issues, raised our disagreements with the Speaker, in particular,but when I watch this, it is a level of cynicism, a level of willingness to completely ignore the people she represents, that I have not seen before. I think it makes absolutely clear Speaker Pelosi has been in Congress and has been the Speaker for far too long. The American people deserve a House of Representatives that is one that will do what is needed. We are in the middle of a pandemic, we have got small businesses across this nation, we've got Ag producers, we've got energy producers, we've got restaurant owners, we've got hospitals, we've got people who are suffering and the Speaker of the House seems to think this is all about sitting in back rooms, negotiating deals, scoring political points. When she finally says the quiet part out loud, and admits that she is actually doing that, she actually has delayed getting help to the American people because she was waiting to see if Joe Biden would get elected President. That is what she's doing. Every single American, every single member of this House, particularly every single member of her party needs to answer the question  and I hope you all will ask them  do you agree that the Speaker of the House is in the right to continue to play politics while people's businesses are suffering, while people are dying, while our hospitals are suffering, while our agriculture industry is suffering? Every member of her side of the aisle has got to stand up and explain why they think it is okay, why they think these games are alright. People are hurting, they need help.As our leader said, as our whip said; we have the ability today, right now, instead of voting on bills to legalize marijuana, bills to protect exotic cats, put the bill on the floor that will help small businesses and do it now. It will pass.So we stand together calling on this body, calling on Speaker Nancy Pelosi to stop sitting on her hands, to stop sitting in front of her refrigerator with expensive ice cream and to help the American people today.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://www.barrasso.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-releases?ContentRecord_id=F0B3B492-DBC7-4BBF-AD9B-39F3CC8D179F", "Barrasso: We Need to Pass the NDAA and Another Coronavirus Relief Bill", "2020-12-10", "2020", "2020-12", "Republican", "Senate", "WY", "John Barrasso", "B001261", "www.barrasso.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "We still have work to do on behalf of the American people, and I hope the Democrats will join us.\r\nClick here to watch Sen.

He also discussed the importance of passing another coronavirus relief bill to help American families and small businesses that are struggling.\r\nExcerpts of Senator Barrasso's remarks:\r\nI come to the floor today in complete support of Senator Inhofe, the Chairman of the Senate Armed service Committee.\r\nI come in support of the National Defense Authorization Act.\r\nI come to speak to that, and I am so grateful for the Senator from Oklahoma for his ongoing determined leadership in making sure that our nation remains safe and secure and free.\r\nIt's because of the work done by Senator Inhofe and his committee and this body and this legislation that we will be voting on, that I have been so grateful for the leadership of the chairman, and want to talk specifically about the reason I think it's important that we do pass the legislation that the committee has worked so hard on.\r\nThis critical national security legislation lays out America's defense and national security priorities, and the Senator from Oklahoma just laid out, for the years to come.\r\nIt sets the policies to defend our nation, and it supports America's service men and women here at home as well as those abroad.\r\nI was honored to spend Thanksgiving again this year with Wyoming National Guard troops, members of our Air National Guard, they're serving at this time in Qatar, Al-Udeid Airforce Base in the Persian Gulf.\r\nWhen I think of the National Defense Authorization Act, this legislation before us today, I think of them.\r\nI think about the members there, Charlie Med', doing medical evacuations, medical transport.\r\nFirst I will tell you, in terms of these Wyoming soldiers who are there, if you are in need of medical care or medical transport, you would be in very capable hands.\r\nWe also know they have what they need to be able to do the job.\r\nI think of them. I think of their families. The sacrifices that are being made by the families at home because the families play a significant and important role in this as well.\r\nIt's interesting, with so many deployed overseas right now some of them have found that their deployments have been extended because of coronavirus they are unable to do the transports of moving people back to the United States for the holidays and then back into the fields.\r\nMany of whom felt they would be home for the holidays are going to find that they are not able to be home for the holidays.\r\nI think it's very important that the Senate send a strong message that we have their backs just as they have ours\r\nThis is an incredibly bipartisan piece of legislation, one of the most bipartisan pieces of legislation every year when it comes to the floor of the Senate.\r\nIt reflects equal input from Republicans, from Democrats, the Senate Armed Services Committee adopted 229 bipartisan amendments before it approved the NDAA this summer by a vote in the committee of 25-2.\r\nIt's also in line with the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019. It supports $741 billion in defense funding for the 2021 fiscal year.\r\nThe NDAA is really a proud tradition of this institution and of our nation.\r\nThis is the 60th year in a row that the Senate has taken up the NDAA, and it has passed this body every year.\r\nWe need to make sure this year is no exception.\r\nThe world may be distracted by other things that are going on, certainly the issue of a coronavirus pandemic, but make no mistake: China, Russia, they still have global ambitions, and they pose grave threats to our nation's security.\r\nThe Chinese military has actually stepped up its aggression against its neighbors, and we see it in the South China Sea.\r\nRussia is using energy as a weapon against its neighbors, and it continues cyberattacks against governments and institutions around the globe.\r\nThis legislation will help keep China and Russia in check.\r\nIt maintains our high-tech edge.\r\nIt modernizes our nuclear weapon systems with funding for a Ground Based Strategic Deterrent.\r\nIt invests in new technologies  hypersonic weapons, biotechnologies, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity  all of which are designed to help keep us safe and free.\r\nIt implements the National Defense Strategy to promote a strong military deterrent and to strive for lasting peace.\r\nAnd it delivers a well-deserved pay raise for our troops, along with high-quality housing, health care, childcare for military families at home as well as abroad.\r\nI do want to thank Senator Inhofe and the Ranking Member, Senator Reed of Rhode Island, for their work in bringing this bill to the floor.\r\nDemocrats have a history of opposing sometimes stronger defense funding, especially during the Obama-Biden years, but this makes longer-term funding uncertain, and it becomes even important to do what we need to do now to stand up against our adversaries.\r\nWe can't afford to slow our nation's critical defense investments now.\r\nThis NDAA will protect American leadership and values all around the world, and it will give our nation what we need to confront the aggressors that I mentioned, like China and Russia.\r\nThis legislation is strategic, and this legislation is strong. It's smart, and it supports our troops and it stands up to our enemies.\r\nThe Senate needs to pass this the 60th National Defense Authorization Act.\r\nI'd now like to take a moment to discuss another topic, and that's coronavirus relief for American families.\r\nIncreasingly, we're seeing communities across the country asking for a clear path forward. A path forward to put the virus behind us and to help us grow our economy.\r\nI think the takeaway from last Friday's job report is that we really have no time to waste.\r\nFor the first time since we passed the CARES Act, the jobs report showed signs of a slowing recovery. Recovery yes, but not as rapid as prior.\r\nThe sectors hardest hit at the beginning of the pandemic are now hard-hit again, retail and food services.\r\nThe Republican-led CARES Act secured the swiftest, strongest economic recovery in our nation's history.\r\nIt added more than 12.3 million jobs in the last seven months. It has been a great American comeback.\r\nAt the end of this month, provisions of the CARES Act are expiring. Things like sick leave, unemployment benefits, tax provisions. We need to extend those.\r\nFor small businesses, I believe we need to re-establish and refurbish the popular Paycheck Protection Program.\r\nI talked to small businesses in Wyoming, talked to County Commissioners last night, talked to our Wyoming Stock Growers yesterday, we need to replenish the Paycheck Protection Program.\r\nWe need to reallocate unused funds for immediate needs now.\r\nRepublican priorities are American priorities in terms of relief from coronavirus.\r\nWe want to make sure, certainly, to fund the distribution of the vaccine, which is ready to go.\r\nWe need to provide relief for individuals and small businesses.\r\nAnd we need to get kids back into the classroom safely so that they don't fall further behind.\r\nThe job we need to do is significant, and it is serious and relief is necessary.\r\nWe need to get a bridge to the point where people have either received the vaccine or there is immunity in communities.\r\nRepublicans are offering a path forward. We're doing it legislatively.\r\nWhat we've heard from Democrats are hard lines, all-or-nothing demands. We've heard them for the last seven months.\r\nDemocrats have offered no new proposals for COVID relief.\r\nThey passed their $3 trillion fantasy-island bill in May and never lifted a pen after that. In the last six months, Democrats have blocked relief that we have offered on the Senate floor four different times.\r\nLast week, Speaker Pelosi said, admitted, that she had held up all those six months of coronavirus relief for the American public for political gain, for politics.\r\nWe heard it from the minority assistant leader just yesterday, admitting the same. Punishing the American people for politics.\r\nIt's a sad commentary on where that party has been as the American people are asking for relief.\r\nDemocrats don't have a plan. They played politics with the pandemic.\r\nAgain, our path forward is to do the things that we know need to be done: distribute the vaccine, provide Americans with relief and get Americans' lives back on track.\r\nWhat we hear from Democrats is more lockdowns, more taxes during a pandemic, more special projects for the far-left. It's sad.\r\nThe Democrats' policies don't meet the moment.\r\nWe need to get relief to the public now.\r\nDemocrats are ignoring where we really are in terms of the costs the Americans have borne, and the progress we've made in a recovery. And they've done it for political purposes.\r\nScientists and researchers are within several days of approval of the vaccine and a distribution nationwide.\r\nThe country is soon going to have several highly effective vaccines distributed to every state.\r\nIn Wyoming, we are looking forward to 5,000 vaccines as early as Monday, 15,000 by the end of the month.\r\nI talked to the head of the Intensive Care Unit at the Wyoming Medical Center just the other day, the hospital where I had been chief of staff, where there are increasing number of patients in the Intensive Care Unit on respirators, where the staff is exhausted.\r\nAnd they say we need the vaccine for the staff, for the frontline workers, for the health care workers, for the elderly, and the nursing home patients so they don't end up in the hospital and on the ventilators.\r\nThese are the healthcare heroes of the day, the doctors and nurses, taking care of these sick patients.\r\nWe're going to administer vaccines to them, to the nursing home patients, to those at high risk.\r\nOver the next three months, over 100 million people will be vaccinated.\r\nRelief is necessary. In Wyoming, we've lost 299 citizens to coronavirus, a number that I would have thought would not have occurred.\r\nThis is with people trying to socially distance, and people trying to do the kinds of things in terms of wearing masks, the behavior that we know with hygiene would minimize the spread, but still the disease continues to spread.\r\nThe vaccine is the solution, but between now and the time that the people can get vaccinated, help is needed, and it is up to this body to act.\r\nWe still have work to do on behalf of the American people, and I hope that the Democrats will join us in this effort this holiday season to get that relief to folks who need it.\r\nIn the meantime, I say let's continue to do the things that we know work, so we can stay safe and our businesses and our country can stay open.\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["http://www.enzi.senate.gov//public/index.cfm/news-releases?ContentRecord_id=92FFBA0B-14A6-4B3C-B325-66BAC1FA0BDB", "Senate passes Enzi, Hassan bill to protect against counterfeit medical products", "2020-12-09", "2020", "2020-12", "Republican", "Senate", "WY", "Michael Enzi", "E000285", "www.enzi.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "The Senate unanimously passed a bill introduced by U.S. Senators Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., and Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., to help protect patients from counterfeit medical products. \nThe Safeguarding Therapeutics Act would give the Food and Drug Administration authority to seize and destroy counterfeit medical devices and products, including COVID-19 tests and vaccines, as well as counterfeit combination products like EpiPens.\r\n\r\nIt's crucial that we work to protect patients and ensure confidence in our health care system, especially as we continue to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, Enzi said.

Eric Swalwell (D-CA), and the failure of Speaker Pelosi to confront China's attacks against the United States.\nWatch video of the interview here, and see the transcript below: \nDANA PERINO:Let's bring in Congresswoman Liz Cheney, she is Chair of the House Republican Conference, and, of course, from my wonderful home state of Wyoming. Congresswoman, I guess I want to get your overall take on this situation, but also Swalwell is saying that the only reason that this has leaked now is because he has criticized President Trump. I'd like your take on both of those things. REP. LIZ CHENEY:Thanks, Dana for having me. First of all, I think the reports that we are seeing are alarming. You have a situation where it looks like Representative Swalwell was identified, cultivated, and potentially funded by a Chinese Communist spy. This happened before he came to Congress, but once he got to Congress, there are real questions about whether or not Speaker Pelosi knew this when she put him on the House Intel Committee.I think that unfortunately and concerningly, this is part of a much larger pattern where we know that the Chinese Communist Party, the Chinese government, is on the attack against the United States of America. So far, it seems only one party in Congress is willing to take them on, willing to stand up for the United States, willing to fight back. Time and time again, you've got Speaker Pelosi and too many of the Democrats refusing to acknowledge that the Chinese Communist Party is an adversary and that we are under threat, and we've got to take steps to defend the nation and protect ourselves. I think this is simply the latest episode demonstrating very concerning behavior on the part of the Democrats. PERINO:Pelosi's office actually said that Kevin McCarthy is the one who needs to look at his own new members that have expressed support for QAnon or a belief in the QAnon theory. How do you think that that will go down? Obviously they're trying to deflect attention from this. REP. CHENEY:Exactly, I think that we're in a situation today where we know that the Chinese government is attempting to attack us through economic means, from a national security and military perspective, from an intelligence perspective. The Leader established a task force in the House of Representatives to focus on bipartisan legislation that we could bring forward to help protect the United States  Speaker Pelosi refused to name any Democrats to that. We just passed, yesterday, the National Defense Authorization Act with very important provisions in it to protect the United States against the threat from China. I think it's important for the Speaker to stop trying to divert attention and to focus on the challenges she faces internally with respect to ensuring that the Chinese espionage that we've seen does not get a larger foothold in the United States government and among her party. PERINO:This does go back a few years. Obviously, we're talking about that the FBI gave a defensive briefing to Congressman Swalwell. Now, President Trump was not given a defensive briefing when there was suggestions or concerns that the Russians might have been trying to influence the Trump Campaign. What do you think about that? Is that a double standard or are there circumstances that would explain that? REP. CHENEY:I think one of the big pieces of this that people have not really focused on, Congressman Swalwell sits on the House Intelligence Committee. Speaker Pelosi not only put him on that committee, but she took that committee and insisted that that committee focus on impeachment, focus on efforts to impeach the President at a time when we know this threat from China was growing. So, we had about a year where the House Intelligence Committee had its attention completely diverted, focused on their impeachment effort instead of focusing on this threat from China. The extent to which there may or may not have been defensive briefings, we only know what we've seen in the news, we only know because of the reporting. I think it's very concerning that it appears that this agent of the Chinese government was able to place an intern in Congressman Swalwell's office. And the Speaker, given her position, must have known. I would imagine she had been briefed about the influence on a Member of the delegation from her own state before he got to Congress. Regardless of that, she put him on the Intelligence Committee anyway. I think it's cause for real concern. PERINO:How widespread do you think this possible spy operation is when it comes to targeting Members of the elected leadership of our country? REP. CHENEY:I think it's probably very extensive. I think you can look back at what you've seen in terms of public remarks from the FBI Director Chris Wray, from our National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien, from the Secretary of State, from the President. I think you've seen, extensively, we know what the Chinese government is attempting to do, they are attempting to take advantage of our open system, they are attempting to steal our secrets, they are attempting to ensure that we no longer have military superiority. We know that this particular person, for example, began on a college campus. She got her start as one of the infiltrators it seems that the Chinese government has throughout academia. I think things like shutting down the Confucius Institutes and making sure we understand that this is going to be a challenge for the next generation. Certainly, we have to defend ourselves.\nPERINO:Congresswoman Cheney, thanks, as was always for joining us. REP. CHENEY:Thanks Dana, always great to be with you.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"],

LIZ CHENEY:Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this NDAA Conference Report, named after a true American patriot, our Armed Services Committee Ranking Member, Mac Thornberry, whom we will very much miss and who has dedicated his career to serving this nation. I also want to thank the chairman of our committee, Mr. Smith, for his work on this bipartisan product. Congress has no greater responsibility, Mr. Speaker, than providing for the defense of our nation. At a time when the United States faces the most complex array of threats in our history, it is incumbent upon us to ensure that our service members have the tools they need to deter and defeat our adversaries. The 2021 defense bill before us today makes critical progress toward modernizing our military, supporting our military families, protecting supply chains, and deterring Russia and China. At this crucial moment, when we have troops deployed overseas, including those from Wyoming's 153rd, 187th and 243rd Air National Guard units, it is imperative that they have the full support of the United States Congress behind them as they execute their missions. Failure to pass this Act would force hundreds of thousands of our men and women in uniform and their families to endure cuts to their pay right before the holidays. Over 250,000 military families would lose their hazardous duty pay. Given the sacrifices they make for all of us, our troops should never have their livelihoods threatened by political battles in Washington, D.C. In addition to all that this NDAA does to support our troops, it also builds on the Trump administration's successful efforts to counter the Chinese Communist Party. Including through provisions I authored that require publication of the names of Chinese Communist military companies operating in the United States. It also includes my bipartisan provision seeking to reduce DoD's dependence on China for critical rare earth minerals. States like Wyoming are blessed with these resources, and we must rebuild our nation's capacity to mine and process rare-earths here at home. This legislation funds the modernization of our nuclear triad and contains crucial provisions to strengthen our deterrence capability in the Indo-Pacific. American security requires that we maintain a military that is second to none, that we arm our troops with the world's best equipment, and that we provide for their families. Our men and women in uniform put their lives on the line to defend our freedom, we owe them the tools to do their job. I am proud to support this year's NDAA, and I urge all my colleagues to vote for it. Thank you. I yield back, Mr. Speaker.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://cheney.house.gov/2020/12/08/cheney-speaks-about-legislation-to-rename-thermopolis-post-office-in-honor-of-bob-brown/", "Cheney Speaks About Legislation To Rename Thermopolis Post Office In Honor Of Bob Brown", "2020-12-08", "2020", "2020-12", "Republican", "Senate", "WY", "Liz Cheney", "C001109", "cheney.house.gov", null, null, "legacy", "Washington Wyoming Congresswoman and House GOP Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) delivered remarks on the House floor honoring former Thermopolis Postmaster Bob Brown.

We'll be renaming the post office located at 440 Arapaho Street in Thermopolis as the Robert L. Brown Post Office. Bob Brown's career with the Postal Service spanned 44 years, including 18 years as the Postmaster. Brown and his wife, Jerry, who was Senator Mike Enzi's first Sunday school teacher, are also the parents of Senator John Barrasso's wife Bobbi. After graduating from Thermopolis High School, Brown was inducted into the Army in 1944 and served in both the European and Pacific theaters. In 1950, when he was in the National Guard, Brown deployed to Korea where he was a member of the 300th Armored Field Artillery Battalion. Along with a unit citation, he received the Combat Infantry Badge and the Purple Heart. After his service, Bob returned to Thermopolis and began working at the post office. Decades of service to his community, to his state, and to his country means that it is absolutely fitting that the Thermopolis Post Office should bear Bob's name and I am proud to sponsor this legislation.

We've lost 280 people in Wyoming and more than 280,000 Americans to this virus so far. It's a real and significant threat, said Enzi, Barrasso and Cheney. We're especially worried about protecting our most vulnerable population from this deadly disease.

These actions will help protect our family, friends and neighbors while still allowing us to keep our state open and working.\r\n                                                  - end -", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["http://www.enzi.senate.gov//public/index.cfm/news-releases?ContentRecord_id=51A22AD2-F376-44E4-8FE7-30DAF71A8A60", "Senate passes bill to rename Thermopolis post office after lifelong resident, former postmaster", "2020-12-04", "2020", "2020-12", "Republican", "Senate", "WY", "Michael Enzi", "E000285", "www.enzi.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "The U.S. Senate unanimously passed legislation to rename the Thermopolis, Wyo., post office after former Postmaster Robert Brown, who passed away on September 11, 2020. Brown's career with the U.S. Postal Service spanned 44 years, including 18 years as the postmaster.\nU.S. Senators Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., and Tom Carper, D-Del., introduced the legislation earlier this year. U.S. Senator John Barrasso, R-Wyo., who was Brown's son-in-law, cosponsored the legislation. \nRenaming the post office after Bob Brown is a fitting tribute to his service  first in the military and later as the Thermopolis postmaster, Enzi said. He was born and raised in Thermopolis and exemplified Wyoming values. I'm glad the Senate passed this bill to honor and remember him.\nBob Brown was an American hero who inspired everyone who knew him.Renaming the Thermopolis post office after himisa perfect way tohonor his memory,Barrasso said. Bob, my late father-in-law, served as postmaster in Thermopolis for many years after returning from his service in WWII and Korea. Many knew him as the nicest guy in town. I am deeply appreciative of Senator Enzi and Senator Carper's work to get this bipartisan bill passed in the Senate. This is awonderfulway to honor Bob's memory and service to Thermopolis and our nation.\nWhile I was never fortunate enough to meet Robert Brown, I know he was a man who dedicated his life to his country. He didn't just serve in the Army; he served with courage and distinction in combat in both World War II and later in the Korean War. He was awarded the Bronze Star and later returned to his community where he continued to serve his fellow citizens for years as a postmaster in the U.S. Postal Service. I know that our country is better for his lifetime of service to others, said Carper. I want to thank my colleague, Senator Enzi, for graciously allowing me to be his wingman in this effort to rename the Thermopolis post office in Mr. Brown's honor. I know that his memory will live on for generations in the community he served so well.\nThe bill calls for the post office in Thermopolis to be officially named the Robert L. Brown Post Office. The bill must now be passed by the House of Representatives. \nAfter graduating from Thermopolis High School, Brown was inducted into the Army in 1944 and served in both the Europe and the Pacific theaters. In 1950, when he was part of the National Guard, Brown deployed to Korea where he was a member of the 300th Armored Field Artillery Battalion. Along with a unit citation, he received the combat infantry badge and the Purple Heart. After his service, he returned to Thermopolis and began working at the post office.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["http://www.enzi.senate.gov//public/index.cfm/news-releases?ContentRecord_id=F22ECD5B-6F5B-461F-8D7D-A79B6413A4C3", "House Passes Bipartisan Legislation Introduced by Senators Enzi, Hassan to Save Taxpayer Dollars by Modifying Composition of Currency", "2020-12-04", "2020", "2020-12", "Republican", "Senate", "WY", "Michael Enzi", "E000285", "www.enzi.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "U.S. Senators Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., and Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., released the following statements after the House passed bipartisan legislation that they introduced in the Senate earlier this year to allow the U.S. Mint to adjust the metal content of circulating coins to save taxpayer dollars.\r\nI'm glad the House passed this commonsense legislation that could save millions of taxpayer dollars every year,Senator Enzisaid.

U.S. Senate, Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., delivered his farewell speech today. During his remarks, Enzi offered advice for finding common ground, citing his 80 percent tool as an effective way of making change for the American people. \nIt turns out that when we work together we can create a better bill than when we just try to do it alone or force others to accept our ideas, Enzi said on the U.S. Senate floor. That is why bipartisanship is not really about compromise. It is about what you leave out or finding a third way to accomplish a mutually agreeable goal.\r\nHe also highlighted his office mission statement, which he said is guided by three principles: Doing what is right, doing our best, and treating others as they wish to be treated. \nI hope everyone listening  especially my colleagues in the Senate  remembers the core values I spoke of today, Enzi said. I truly believe that if we adhere to those ideals, the world will be a better place for our children and grandchildren.\r\nEnzi's remarks below (as prepared for delivery): \r\nMr./Mrs. President, I rise today to give my farewell speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate. It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve the great people of Wyoming in this position for the last 24 years. I have really enjoyed being a senator. Not for the title, not for the recognition and certainly not for publicity. I love solving problems for folks in Wyoming and America. I like working on legislation.\r\nIt might shock those who don't know me, but I never intended to get into politics! While I always had great respect for those who serve in public office, it wasn't my calling when I left college. But over fifty years ago, I joined a leadership and civic training group known as the Jaycees. While running their Leadership Training program in Cody, I met our keynote speaker Al Simpson. Simpson was serving at the time in our State Legislature and would go on to serve three terms in the U.S. Senate. After I gave my pitch on leadership training, and how important it was, Senator Simpson took me aside and said, I don't even know what party you're in, but it's time you put your money where your mouth is on this leadership stuff and get into politics. That town you live in, Gillette, needs a Mayor.' My wife Diana and I had moved to Gillette a few years earlier. The town was facing a crisis as the discovery of oil, gas and coal turned it into a boom town. The population started to skyrocket and city services were not keeping up.\r\nOn the way home from that Cody meeting, while my wife was driving, I told her what Senator Simpson had said and that I was thinking maybe I should run for Mayor. It must have come as quite a shock because she ended up swerving down into the barrow pit and back up onto the road. We ended up talking about it seriously and the way we might be able to make a difference in our own town. I was new to the community, just 29 years old, but I thought Gillette was in need of a budget, agendas and planning - not the most exciting topics to get people's attention. I ran anyway and I won.\r\nNearly 5 decades later, having served as a Mayor, State House Representative, State Senator, and U.S. Senator, I still find myself motivated by the urge to help my community and my country. I also find myself still pushing those same three ideas I did when I first ran for Mayor - budgets, agendas and planning. I keep finding myself wanting to help to solve problems. Once you embrace that responsibility it is hard to ever ignore it again. I have found that many of my colleagues in Congress tend to feel the same way.\r\nThe Senate is a very different place from when I arrived in 1997, and it is a very different place than it was in 1789, when the very first Senate met. But over all those years, it has been a place for folks rising to the challenge of being a leader  who are looking to make their communities and country a better place. We might not always agree on what the solutions are, but we can respect each other for working to find one.\r\nOver the years I have learned a great deal from those around me. Just like I listened to Senator Al Simpson all those years back, I have tried to keep an open mind to learning from others. And now that my time in the Senate is coming to a close, I would like to pass along some of the lessons I was taught, and some I learned the hard way, in the hope that they are useful for my colleagues working to get things accomplished in the Senate and for anyone who wants to be a leader in their community.\r\nIn my office we have a mission statement. It reads: \nWe have been given a sacred trust to work for our families, grandparents and grandchildren. We will respect the wisdom of those before and the future of those to follow. We will discharge this trust through our legislative policy, our constituent services and the way we treat each other, guided by these three principles:\r\n Doing What Is Right\r\n Doing Our Best\r\n Treating Others as They Wish to be Treated\r\nThose last three principles are advice my mom gave me, and they remain my core values. Every member of my staff is given that mission statement when they start, and we rely on it to remind us why we are here and how we should act. It isn't just a saying, but a way to work, a way to build trust and a way to govern.\r\nThese values are not always easy to live by. We are all human and we can all struggle to live up to those ideals we set for ourselves. But that is why we call them ideals. I believe these are values we can all agree on, and by remembering the values we share, we can work together to tackle tough problems and find shared solutions.\r\n'Do what is right' is a great slogan, but you might ask what it means at practical level. People see a mess in Washington, so how do we actually make progress?\r\nI believe it involves focusing on common ground over compromise, especially when it comes to legislating. People sometimes think compromise is the answer. I think it means I give in to something I don't like, and you give into something you don't like, and then we wind up with something no one likes. It's not legislating. But when it comes to legislating, often the best way to get something everyone can agree on is to leave out the things you don't agree on, and focus on what you can get done.\r\nThat is why I suggest my 80 percent tool.' Generally speaking, people can talk civilly on 80 percent of the issues. It's only about 20 percent of issues where you will find real contention. Now even on the individual issues you might find disagreement, but once again you need to focus on the 80 percent of that issue that you can agree on. It is all about focusing on what you can get done, and not focusing on the points of disagreement  the weeds of debate that have choked issues. Or to say it another way, it's all about what you leave out.\r\nFormer Senator Ted Kennedy, from Massachusetts, and I used this tool when we led the Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee together and it worked great. It worked even though we were on complete opposite sides of the political spectrum. I once showed Senator Kennedy an article that mentioned how unusual it was for the most conservative senator and the third most liberal senator to work together. To which he said, So who's ahead of me?!' We were able to get legislation passed that others had been trying to do for years. Here's how we started working together. When I first got to the Senate I wanted to change some things with OSHA. Senator Kennedy, at the urging of my predecessor Senator Simpson, let me sit him down and take him through the bill a section at a time. That's something we did in the Wyoming legislature. When we marked up the bill in committee, Senator Kennedy said, In all my years in the Senate, I've never had anybody take me through a bill a section at a time. But I'm still going to have to vote against it.' It still got out of committee, but later he called me about a safety bill he'd been working on for over a decade  a bill to save nurses and medical janitors from accidental needle sticks  and asked if I'd take a look at it. I did, and the biggest suggestion I gave was to leave out a couple of the small parts that had been jamming up the bill. The bill passed the Senate and the House unamended and was signed. Now you see needle stick disposals everywhere and the issue has never had to be readdressed. \nLater I became the HELP Chair and Senator Kennedy was the Ranking Member. We used the 80 percent tool. We were able to get 35 bills through the HELP Committee in the 109th Congress. Twenty-seven of them made their way to the president's desk and were signed into public law. And, in between, we were able to report out 352 nominations for consideration by the full Senate. \nSo here's how the 80 percent tool worked. At the beginning of each year each of made a list of the issues we thought the committee should take up. We compared lists. We made an effort for some to be on both lists. Then we worked on the ones on both lists. We usually had duplication of about 80 percent of the issues. Then we could pick out any issue and work on it, usually agreeing on about 80 percent of that issue. If we couldn't find a new way to do the part that had been argued about for years, we simply left it out, believing that 80 percent finished is better than 20 percent that only makes the press.\r\nThis is the 80 percent tool and it is where our energy, attention and talents could be focused in the Senate. If we just work on the 20 percent that we don't agree on  and will never agree on  we will only generate headlines about how hard we are working, with nothing actually getting done  just gridlock.\r\nWhen the news comes on, people see us working in the Senate. If we are arguing and bickering and getting nothing done, we are focusing too much on that 20 percent. If people do not see much of us, that means we are taking on the 80 percent and making progress, without headlines and often with unanimous consent.\r\nWhat we are really talking about is working together. That is what the heart of the 80 percent tool is. Oftentimes people say what we need is more bipartisanship, and there is a very practical reason for that. In the Senate, you can't get anything done without working with the other side unless one party has 60 votes or more, which is rare. And even then, the bills that either party passes when they have a supermajority are usually pretty flawed. It turns out that when we work together we can create a better bill than when we just try to do it alone or force others to accept our ideas. That is why success is not really about compromise. It is about what you leave out or finding a third way to accomplish a mutually agreeable new way. \nWe used to take the people that had similar amendments and send them off to see if they could come up with one amendment. And quite often they could. It was then fascinating when they came back they said, It was my idea.' When all of them report it was their idea, you know you have enough votes to pass it.\r\nHere are a few key steps that I use to help find that common ground to pass legislation.\r\n   First, find someone from the other side of the aisle who likes to legislate.\r\nSecond, discover and agree on common goals.\r\nThird, consult with stakeholders that will or could be affected by the changes being discussed.\r\nFourth, hold roundtables instead of hearings. With hearings, each side beats up on the other's witnesses with clever stump the professor' type questions. At a roundtable, people who have actually done something on the policy issue share their real life experiences.\r\nAnd finally, you set aside those issues you can't agree on for another day's debate.\r\nNow you have a bill that has a good chance of being passed and signed into law. This is the heart of the 80 percent tool.\r\nThis way of working also ensures that we can disagree without being disagreeable. There is a lot of vitriol in our politics and our world right now, but you can stay true to what you believe in without treating others badly. Nothing gets done when we are just telling each other how wrong we are. Just ask yourself, has anyone ever really changed your opinion by getting up in your face and yelling at you, or saying how wrong you are? Usually that doesn't change hearts or minds. That might make someone feel better in the moment, but it doesn't do much for getting anything accomplished.\r\nFollowing the 80 percent tool will not get you notoriety, fame or even the headlines. Most media coverage requires blood in the water.' However, the ability to work among your peers using this method can  and will  move us forward and get things done.\r\nThis tool is only successful if we are actually working on passing legislation together. And that means letting the Senate work as it was intended. One of the best ways to do that is to allow the members of each committee to actually take the time to craft bills. The committees are where the experts are, and where I think some of the best work gets done. I have already made it clear that I don't think hearings are overly useful, and often are wasted on collecting soundbites for the evening news. Instead we should be encouraging committees to give their members more say in crafting legislation and working together on the best solutions. If you look at the bills that pass with strong bipartisan support, they are usually because flaws were ironed out in committee. Legislation is oftentimes at its best when it has taken its time in the committees, being hashed out until it is ready for primetime. Now you might not always be able to get everyone on board, but if you have done it right, you should see strong bipartisan support.\r\nSometimes this also means letting others take credit for your ideas. An old salesman trick is to convince others that your good idea was really their good idea. Don't let your vanity stand in the way of getting the job done.\r\nToo often in the modern Senate, legislation is rushed out of committee to the Senate floor. And then once it hits the Senate floor, both sides try to prevent amendments. But the process of allowing amendments and debate is a core component of how the Senate was designed to operate. Without it, the Senate can get gummed up. The gears can get jammed. Without the fresh air that new ideas and legitimate debate brings, tensions can rise as senators feel unable to make progress.\r\nThe difficulty is that each party is so worried about the next election, looking to hold onto the majority, that everybody is either trying to force the other side to take politically perilous votes, or trying to avoid taking those votes themselves. No matter which party is in charge, we end up blocking amendments and shying away from allowing legislation to be altered on the floor of the Senate.\r\nI have come up with some solutions on getting spending bills passed, such as biennial budgeting, but that won't solve our problems for every bill. It might help if members make it clear to their leadership that they would be willing to take some tough votes in return for more chances to amend major legislation on the floor. People might be less likely to demand votes on a poison pill or messaging amendment designed to put the other party in a tough spot if they knew they could face the same treatment! In the end, the onus is on the members of the Senate, on us, to take a on the responsibility to work together in return for the chance to pass legislation.\r\nAnother more practical solution would be to try and avoid passing comprehensive legislation. Comprehensive bills are so large that everyone can find a reason to vote against it! Senator Alexander is a big promoter of step-by-step legislating. This practical solution would avoid passing comprehensive legislation. Comprehensive legislation is usually the byproduct of compromise, not common ground, and often ends up being so big it is incomprehensible. Giant bills that try to do everything usually end up with too many unintended consequences and include a litany of unrelated pieces of legislation that are merely hitching a ride, because otherwise they would never be able to hold up on their own merits.\r\nIt isn't a new strategy, but the number of key pieces of legislation that are passed by two members going into a room, crafting legislation, and then presenting it to Congress as a whole without allowing any amendments has increased dramatically during my tenure in the Senate. And then we as members are left merely with an up or down vote. These Christmas tree' bills are often designed so that if you vote against it, no matter who you are, you will be voting against some key legislation that you would have supported had it been its own bill. Once again, the ugly nature of compromise' over common ground' is clear.\r\nA simple solution I have proposed would be to pass more bills as individual pieces of legislation  that step-by-step. In Wyoming, bills have to be focused on a single subject, and all amendments need to be relevant. In the past I have introduced a bill that would require that here considered by the Senate to be limited to a single issue, but to my dismay, it has never really been treated seriously.\r\nTo talk on a little different issue, my favorite Article of the Constitution is Article 5. It assures that all states will have equal representation in the Senate. And since I come from one of those low population states, it's very important to us. My state is often criticized for being over represented in the Senate. We have two senators, the same as California, New York and Texas. But in this argument of unfair representation for states, we find the same inherent issue as we do with the filibuster; our government was not set up to be majority rule by population alone. Our founders, through their own debate, were able to understand the risk of a pure democracy and the benefits of a federalist system, where ideas were represented not just by population, but by regions and shared cultures. Wyomingites deserve to have their cultural say in our system, protected against the majority. We are all in the United States of America!\r\nThe Senate represents more than just the people. To protect the individuality of the states, of the culture of those who live in those regions of the county less populated, it also represents the states that founded our federalist system.Of course, at that time several of them had little population.\r\nWe have covered a lot of ground. But for my last piece of advice, I call on my colleagues to recognize that it is time to formally allow electronics on the floor of the United States Senate. It is an issue near and dear to my heart, and one I think will help how we work in the Senate. It is clear to anyone who watches C-SPAN that all of us are already breaking the spirit of the law, checking our phones on occasion as we walk off the floor. These devices are now inseparable from our ability to do our work. We rely on them to do almost everything. It is time we make this commonsense change, allowing iPads to be used for speeches as long as they're laid on the lectern like a paper speech. And if senators could so some work from their desks like early senators had to do, we would listen to more of the speeches and get a lot more done. \nI do remember when I brought that one up before that it was covered by the press  in '97! They thought it was important that we have that use. TIME Magazine did a special article on it. I remember Senator McConnell going to New York City and coming back to report to me that he got in a cab. The cab driver said, you're a United States senator, aren't you?' And of course he proudly was. And the guy said, So when are you going to let the guy from Wyoming have his computer on the floor?!' So Senator McConnell told me if I had lobbied it down to cabbies that it was time to do it. But we still haven't done it.\r\nAs we move forward, our country has no shortage of problems we need to address. Some are out of our control, but many are of our own making. If my experience over the years has taught me anything, it is that we will never be able to tackle these challenges unless we find common areas of agreement first and work to solve those problems together.\r\nI hope everyone listening - especially my colleagues in the Senate - remembers the core values I spoke of today. Do what's right, do your best, and treat others as they wish to be treated. I truly believe that if we adhere to those ideals, the world will be a better place for our children and grandchildren.\r\nI want to once again thank the people of Wyoming for giving me the opportunity to serve them. I also want to thank my colleagues and friends who supported me over the years. I want to thank all the amazing staff I have had over the years, in my personal office in D.C., in my state offices in Wyoming, and my staff both on the Health Education, Labor and Pension Committee and Budget Committee. Over the years, I've gotten to work with an incredible staff that have made it possible to do more than a Senator by him or herself could ever do. Thank you for working so hard over the years!\r\nI also give the most thanks my family and all their support over the years, especially my wife Diana. It has been a long journey since I first told Diana I was thinking of running for Mayor. You have supported me more than anyone can truly comprehend. In no uncertain terms, I couldn't have done it without you. It has been more than 50 amazing years together, and I look forward to our next adventure together.\r\nMr./Mrs. President, I yield the floor.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://www.barrasso.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-releases?ContentRecord_id=F80ABEDB-36E3-4843-B0FA-85CD334B896B", "Barrasso Pays Tribute to Senator Mike Enzi", "2020-12-02", "2020", "2020-12", "Republican", "Senate", "WY", "John Barrasso", "B001261", "www.barrasso.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "For nearly a quarter-century, Mike Enzi has represented the people of Wyoming in Washington and has done it with intelligence, with intensity, and with integrity. The Cowboy State and the Capitol are going to sorely miss Mike Enzi.\r\nClick here to watch Sen. Barrasso's remarks.\r\nWASHINGTON, D.C.  Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) paid tribute to Wyoming's senior U.S. Senator, Mike Enzi, who is retiring at the end of this term. Barrasso praised Senator Enzi for his nearly twenty five years of service representing the people of Wyoming in the United States Senate.\r\nExcerpts of Senator Barrasso's remarks:\r\nI come to the floor today to pay tribute to this great Wyoming leader.\r\nFor nearly a quarter-century, Mike Enzi has represented the people of Wyoming in Washington and has done it with intelligence, with intensity, and with integrity.\r\nThe Cowboy State and the Capitol are going to sorely miss Mike Enzi.\r\nHe's truly cemented his legacy as the trusted trail boss of the Wyoming's congressional delegation.\r\nAnd it has been an incredible honor and a great privilege for my wife Bobbi and for me to serve the people of Wyoming alongside Mike and his wife Diana who is with us today.\r\nMike is truly a devoted family man  as well as a man of great and deep faith.\r\nIn fact, Mike taught Sunday school over the decades.\r\nMany in the Wyoming faith community know that Mike's first Sunday school teacher in Thermopolis Wyoming was my wife Bobbi's mother, Jerry Brown.\r\nJerry and her husband Bob, a World War II and Korean War veteran, both passed away this past year, and they had been married 70 years.\r\nWell, she taught Sunday school in Thermopolis, Wyoming, and her star pupil was Mike Enzi.\r\nTo the point that she actually gave Mike Enzi his first Bible, and he still has that today.\r\nHere in the Senate, Mike has been not just a close friend to me, and a mentor to me, but he has been that to many members of this body.\r\nMike was sworn in, in 1997, and throughout four terms in the United States Senate, he has never wavered in his commitment to God, to family, to country and, of course, to Wyoming.\r\nHe's known by many as the Senate's moral compass, remarkable spiritual leader of our bipartisan Senate prayer breakfast.\r\nI am a member of that group, a number of the Senators here today are as well. We met today and Mike led us in prayer.\r\nAnd I've seen firsthand just how much Republican and Democrat members depend on Mike for his moral and ethical guidance.\r\nHe really is a bipartisan not just policymaker but also a peacemaker, and we've all seen it within this body.\r\nHis legislation, and he talked about the 80/20 rule, it has a long history of garnering overwhelming bipartisan support.\r\nOver 100 Enzi bills have become law.\r\nI have been proud to sponsor and cosponsor many of them with him in my time in the Senate.\r\nThe thing he didn't point out is that most of the bills that passed, passed with over 80 votes.\r\nIt's rare for an Enzi bill to get to the floor and pass with any more than 15-18 no' votes  remarkable accomplishment.\r\nAnd it's important to note that these bills have been signed by Republican and Democrat presidents.\r\nYou go into his office, his whole conference room is filled, the walls are filled, with bills and pens signed into law. With the pens being used by Bill Clinton, by George W. Bush, by Barack Obama, and by President Donald Trump.\r\nBehind all these, as he just talked about, is that very successful 80/20 Rule.\r\nA rule that he learned while in the Wyoming state legislature. And it has worked extremely well for him here in Washington, as well.\r\nSuch is the practical, western wisdom in Mike Enzi.\r\nBorn in 1944, in Bremerton, Washington, his father was there serving in the naval shipyards during World War II.\r\nMoved the family to Wyoming shortly thereafter, and that's when he started elementary school in Thermopolis, Wyoming. They moved to Sheridan, where he graduated from high school.\r\nMike didn't talk about this today, but Mike there earned his Eagle Scout award. He's a proud Eagle Scout, as is his son Brad, and his grandson is working on it as well. Mike has been named a Distinguished Eagle' by the Scouts.\r\nHe has a bachelor's degree in accounting from George Washington University and an MBA in retail marketing from the University of Denver in Colorado.\r\nMike and Diana moved to Gillette in 1969, where they started their own small business, and it's wonderful to listen to Mike talk about small businesses. It's called NZ Shoes.\r\nThey later expanded their successful family business to Miles City, Montana and Sheridan, Wyoming.\r\nBut Gillette, Wyoming is Mike's true home and where his heart is.\r\nHe served two terms as Gillette's mayor. During his eight years as mayor, Mike led Gillette to their first economic boom.\r\nHe's also served 10 years in the Wyoming Legislature. He was both a state representative as well as a state senator.\r\nWyoming is Mike's world  And family means the world to Mike. Their the proud parents of three  Amy, Emily and Brad.\r\nAnd even prouder grandparents of four  Megan, Allison, Trey and Lilly.\r\nAnyone who knows Mike knows that he loves to fish. Even during prayer breakfast today when you watched on the Zoom call, behind Mike you could see a fishing rod, you could see all the lures that he uses in his fishing on display.\r\nHe's an accomplished, an avid fly-fisherman. In fact, in August 2015 he achieved every fly-fisherman's dream by completing his Wyoming Cutt-Slam.'\r\nThis Wyoming Game and Fish Department program increases appreciation for our native cutthroat trout.\r\nIf you want to talk to Mike about anything, talk to him about fishing.\r\nHis passion comes through for his love for nature for being in nature's cathedral of the great outdoors.\r\nHe fishes in majestic spots throughout Wyoming and all over the world.\r\nHere in Washington, Mike is a leading voice on budget, on tax and on health care issues.\r\nHe has served in the Senate Budget Committee and as chairman since 2015.\r\nAs the first accountant to chair the Budget Committee, Mike is committed to making government more accountable to hardworking American taxpayers.\r\nHe's been a tremendous Budget chairman. It's because he learned valuable lessons in the Wyoming Legislature  Where, like American families, you have to balance the budget every year and live within your means.\r\nUnder Mike's leadership, Congress has passed balanced budget resolutions for fiscal years 2016, 2017 and 2018.\r\nHe worked tirelessly to pass these budgets  even working through the night all week for the marathon floor debates called vote-a-ramas.'\r\nHis budget blueprints offered a better fiscal path by reducing wasteful spending, by lightening tax burdens and by boosting economic growth.\r\nMike's fiscal year 2018 budget not only provided a path to balance  it paved the way for pro-growth, pro-jobs tax relief legislation, the most comprehensive reform of the tax code in over a generation.\r\nAnd as a reconciliation bill, this historic 2017 tax reform bill, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, went through Mike's Budget Committee.\r\nAs Budget chairman, Mike has also focused on the soaring national debt, on budget process reform and on oversight of federal programs.\r\nMike also has served as a member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee since his arrival in the Senate.\r\nAs a former chairman and ranking member, he championed the efforts to ensure a quality education for all.\r\nHe expanded access to affordable, quality health care. And he spearheaded the most significant pension reform in 30 years, securing millions of Americans' retirements.\r\nHe is also a member of the Senate Finance Committee, the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and the Joint Committee on Taxation.\r\nOther policy successes include improving mine safety, helping end the AIDS epidemic in Africa and passing mental health parity.\r\nMike's highest priority of course has always been helping the people of Wyoming.\r\nAs he said in announcing his retirement: I am an advocate for Gillette and Campbell County and Wyoming. I point out that everyone lives at the local level. No one lives at the federal level  or even the state level. So Diana and I are your Chamber of Commerce and economic development people for every town and county in Wyoming all the time.'\r\nMike started several annual events to boost our state  the Inventors Conference, the Procurement Conference and Wyoming Works tours.\r\nIn 2009, Mike and I started Wyoming Wednesdays, and it quickly became a big hit.\r\nThis is a great tradition when people from around Wyoming come to Washington and we get together every week for coffee, donuts and friendship. And people love to attend.\r\nBut Mike as well as Diana are a force here in the Senate. Mike has called Diana the most thoughtful person in the world.' And that's no exaggeration.\r\nHere in the Senate, every year Diana hosts a Christmas cookie party to thank as they describe the real workers' that keep the Senate running  the janitors, the cleaning crews, the electricians, the police officers, the food service workers.\r\nEvery year Diana and her friends work hundreds of hours and bake hundreds of dozens of cookies.\r\nAll the Senate workers look forward to Diana's 200-dozen cookie thank you event every year.\r\nIn fact, it's not unusual for people to come up to Diana in the hallway and ask when the party is. Mike is the wonderful co-host.\r\nThis year, because of coronavirus, she couldn't do all the baking, but they had the cookie festival with baked cookies and those who couldn't get to receive them, Mike and Diana walked the halls of this building in the Senate office building to make sure that the guards and the custodians and janitors and others, got their Christmas cookies.\r\nMike is usually a man of few words. But at a recent prayer breakfast, Mike reminded everyone about the importance of thinking before we speak.\r\nHe titled his presentation Me and My Big Mouth.' He reminded us that our mouths cannot be trained, only guarded.\r\nMike is a true Wyoming gentleman Someone who will always be a great friend and a mentor to me, to younger people in Wyoming, and to everyone here in the Senate.\r\nIn my office, there's a picture on the wall from my first day in the Senate in 2007. I'm being sworn in by then-Vice President Cheney with Senator Enzi, along with former Senator Malcolm Wallop standing behind.\r\nIt has been a tremendous privilege to serve with Mike from my very first day in the United States Senate.\r\nThe people of Wyoming owe him an incredible debt of gratitude for his tireless, and his faithful service.\r\nMike Enzi's character, his courage and his credibility have cemented his legacy as a highly respected leader of the Senate.\r\nSo today, so many senators are here gathering to listen to, to honor and to thank Mike Enzi for his decades of distinguished service to the nation.\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"],

LIZ CHENEY:Thank you very much, and thanks to everybody. We've all worked together really closely throughout this year in particular and before. I'm really grateful to all of you for everything you're doing. I know, just talking about what's happening now and the challenges we're facing now, obviously COVID is at the top of the list. Eric has been just hugely helpful as we've worked to try to get legislation passed to get additional resources to our hospitals across the state. We were able, just in the last week or so, to get additional health care workers, some nurses and additional health care workers, to Cheyenne and Gillette, and we're going to continue to do that. You all see very much how important it is, particularly in these times, to make sure that we are providing the resources that are necessary from the federal level, but also I think if you just look at  because we're focused on medical innovation, one of the stories that has not, you know with everything else that we're addressing and dealing with, is the really incredible process that has gone on through Operation Warp Speed put in place by President Trump and the task force at the White House. We know the story, we all hear the news about the vaccines that have been developed, those clearly have been developed because of medical innovation. But I think the untold story that's not getting enough credit is the distribution system that's been set up. The White House really focused on this, and one of the reasons I think it's so important is because it is a partnership between the military and the American private sector. It is because of American medical innovation, because of what our private sector is able to do that we've been able to develop these vaccines. Then General Perna, the four star general who was put in charge of distribution wisely said, Let's use existing systems, let's use private sector entities that are out there that are already in the distribution business. Let's use Fed-Ex, let's use UPS, let's use CVS and Walgreens. Let's do everything we can to make sure we're not reinventing the wheel.' They also really wisely said, Let's let each state decide what's best for the state,' and I think that's been one of the real hallmarks of the success of this administration and of what we've been able to do in Congress to help to support innovation and to help to make sure that any steps we're taking don't kill medical innovation. I think anytime you hear  there's been a lot of grumbling about well, is there a transition process? Is there a transition team? Sometimes you especially hear people saying, Oh my gosh, how are we going to distribute the vaccine if the Biden staff isn't able right now to get their hands on the distribution system?' My response to that has been, Thank goodness they don't have their hands on the distribution system right now.' Because we do not need vaccines seized by the government, we don't need a system that is nationalized in a way that doesn't reflect the real innovation of the process, and the important partnership between the military and the private sector. So, I think that we will continue to do everything that we can to make sure that we respect and honor and reflect and support that innovation and make sure that that work continues to thrive. If I could maybe take a couple of minutes, I'd be interested to hear from folks, Eric, in particular, Sheila, give me a sense of what you're seeing right now, on the ground what you're seeing in Cheyenne, and then hear from Michael about Casper in terms of where we are on things like PPE, things like hospital space, and let me say in closing before we go to that, we are going to be working in the lame duck session, I hope, to be able to get additional PPP out the door. We have a discharge petition on the Republican side that would allow businesses that have applied once to reapply again. There's something like $138 billion dollars in PPP that's still there. I think you're going to see increasing recognition that we've got to do more. The vaccines are certainly the light at the end of the tunnel, and those are coming very quickly, but we're going to have to get people through the next several months here and make sure that people's businesses can continue to thrive.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["http://www.enzi.senate.gov//public/index.cfm/op-eds?ContentRecord_id=8B2204CE-FAED-4887-AA73-6D5912128D78", "Thank You, Small Businesses", "2020-11-23", "2020", "2020-11", "Republican", "Senate", "WY", "Michael Enzi", "E000285", "www.enzi.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "hen I meet new folks and even visit schools, a question I often get is what's the neatest thing you did while being a senator?

This bill would prohibit any Chinese companies from accessing U.S. capital markets if they are listed on the U.S. Department of Commerce Entity List or the U.S. Department of Defense list of Communist Chinese military companies. \nIn addition to prohibiting these companies from being listed on securities exchanges, this bill would also prohibit investment from investment companies, insurance companies, and retirement funds. ClickHEREfor bill text.\nThe Chinese Communist Party regularly breaches America's shores to steal our intellectual property, engage in espionage, feed off our markets, and more, said Rep. Cheney. The U.S. must counter the CCP's efforts to take advantage of our free and open system here at home, in addition to doing all we can to counter the CCP's malign activities abroad. This legislation is a critical step toward making sure that CCP military companies can no longer exploit U.S. markets in support of China's pernicious power projection, nuclear build-up, grave human rights abuses, and other malign activities.\nU.S. capital markets are the envy of the world. Access to these markets is a privilege and we should be under no obligation to allow our adversaries, that intend to do us harm, access, said Rep. Stewart. This bill protects our markets from exploitation and bans companies with ties to the CCP and their military, espionage, and human rights abuses.\nThe Chinese Communist Party is engaged in a relentless campaign to dominate the critical technologies of tomorrow. Unfortunately, it receives unwitting assistance from many Americans who have no idea their hard-earned investments are directly financing many of these malign actors,said Rep. Gallagher.This legislation builds on the President's actions against Communist Chinese military companies last week, and takes decisive action to defend our capital marketsand our technological superiorityagainst threats to our way of life.\nLast week, President Trump announced an Executive Order that similarly banned U.S. investment in Chinese companies identified on lists released in June and August 2020 by the Pentagon. The American Financial Market Integrity and Security Act includes those companies and companies that are involved in the Chinese Communist Party's military, espionage, human rights abuses, Military-Civil Fusion Strategy, and the Made in China 2025' industrial policy.\nSenators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Mike Braun (R-IN) introduced companion legislation in the U.S. Senate last month.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["http://www.enzi.senate.gov//public/index.cfm/news-releases?ContentRecord_id=0D01DE35-09B8-426A-ADEB-02667F48D35E", "Enzi applauds fair access to bank services", "2020-11-20", "2020", "2020-11", "Republican", "Senate", "WY", "Michael Enzi", "E000285", "www.enzi.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "U.S. Senator Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., praised the proposed rule announced today by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) that aims to ensure fair access to banking services, capital and credit for businesses.

OCC's action will put a stop to left-wing abuses of power and discrimination against lawful businesses. It's a timely reminder that the Second Amendment is a foundational American right. It's a recognition that Wyoming energy continues to provide affordable, reliable power to our homes.

I see a real state of panic, mostly because they think until the vaccine comes out there is no answer.\nHearing panelist Dr. George Fareed, a medical director and family medicine specialist, highlighted the benefit of treatment cocktails that can help when someone tests positive for COVID-19. Fareed said these cocktail options are extremely well tolerated and are available with a doctor's prescription. He noted that some countries are dispensing packets that patients can bring home off the shelf that can help with early treatment of COVID-19. \nDr. Peter McCullough, vice chief of Internal Medicine at Baylor University Medical Center, said there is a treatment algorithm that has been peer-reviewed by a journal listed in the National Library of Medicine. This is the best available science, McCullough said. \nMcCullough said there is evidence to support each component of the treatment algorithm. He added that it's crucial for everyone to take this pandemic seriously so we can avoid mass mortality in the coming weeks.\r\nI appreciate all this information on early treatment, Enzi said.

They're keeping us stuck, and America stuck, in this coronavirus crisis by demanding funding for things unrelated to coronavirus.\r\nClick here to watch Sen. Barrasso's remarks.\r\nWASHINGTON, D.C.  Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) spoke on the Senate floor about how Democrats keep blocking a path forward on coronavirus relief and all other important legislative items that the Senate needs to complete by the end of the year.\r\nExcerpts of Senator Barrasso's remarks:\r\nI come to the floor today to talk about what the voters of America told the elected representatives in Washington in the election earlier this month.\r\nThere has been a lot of analysis about what happened this year in the elections.\r\nWho got what right. Who got what wrong. We've had the pollsters and the prognosticators and the pundits they're already taking a beating for their many wrong predictions.\r\nThe American people, in states all across this country, and certainly in Wyoming, rejected this far left agenda.\r\nThey saw what Democrats were offering, and they said, No thank you.'\r\nVoters looked at the violent left-wing protests that have wrecked large cities and small cities across the country. People saw the death, the injuries, the destruction of property. Americans went to the polls and said, No, thank you.'\r\nThey rejected Democrat calls to defund the police, rebuffed Democrat threats to pack the Supreme Court and said no to one-size-fits-all government run health care.\r\nThey snubbed the Democrats' embrace of the Green New Deal, rejected this far-left plan to end American energy production and basically, Americans said No.'\r\nMany Democrats ran on this far-left agenda. They lost, despite spending hundreds of millions of dollars to try to convince Americans otherwise.\r\nDemocrats must be saying to themselves, What did we get wrong?'\r\nNo matter how much the Democrat party pushes, and their candidates push, America is not a far-left country.\r\nAmericans don't want to blow up the Senate or the Supreme Court.\r\nThey don't want to add more States to the Union or more Justices to the Court.\r\nThey don't want to kill our energy economy and the good jobs it provides. People do not want to pay $10 a gallon for gasoline when they fill up under the Green New Deal.\r\nThey don't want more government meddling in their personal health care decisions.\r\nI know what the people of Wyoming want, and members ought to know this, Americans want jobs and security.\r\nThey want to get back to work in a free enterprise economy, not a socialist one.\r\nThey want their kids back in school safely to make sure they don't fall further behind.\r\nAnd people are smart enough to know that free stuff for everyone means the American taxpayer will be left footing the bill.\r\nBetween now and the end of the year, we have very important things to do for the nation in this body, the United States Senate.\r\nWe need to fund the government. We need to pass the National Defense Authorization Act. We need to confirm well-qualified nominees to the federal judiciary.\r\nSenate Republicans are ready to get that work done.\r\nThere is also work to be done in our fight against the coronavirus.\r\nThe Democrat House has played politics with American lives and livelihoods for months now.\r\nWith the election behind us, I hope that they'll take a more sensible approach to this nation's most pressing problem right now.\r\nFor months, Senate Republicans put forward targeted proposals, first in September, again in October, that provided comprehensive coronavirus relief, focused on coronavirus.\r\n52 Republicans came to the floor of this Senate and voted in favor of the proposal. Not a single Democrat voted for it.\r\nIt's our plan to get people back to work, to get kids back to school safely and to put the disease behind us.\r\nJust last week, Pfizer announced a vaccine that could be 90 percent effective in the fight against coronavirus. This morning, they found out with more testing and more time that it's actually 94.5% effective. Now Moderna and the National Institute of Health have developed a vaccine that is almost 95% percent effective as well.\r\nThere are four other vaccines in the trials. One of the members, and our colleague, of this body, the senator from Ohio, is part of the trial with one of those, and I believe additional vaccines will be coming down the pipeline.\r\nIt was the front page story in every paper in America, major paper, yesterday. The good news about vaccines, and that the light at the end of the tunnel of coronavirus is upon us. Today it was announced an at home test for coronavirus, very, very promising.\r\nWhen we think about the vaccine and why this all happened, Congress wisely invested $18 billion for vaccine treatment, for research, and it's paying off.\r\nThe governor of New York, astonishingly, called this bad news. He said this is bad news. Had to do with the fact that this is coming out now, and he wanted it to wait for a couple of months after a presidential inauguration.\r\nWhy is it bad news that through innovation and the work of the Cures Act that came out of this body under the Republican majority, and then accepted by unanimous consent in the House, why is it bad news that we may be able to save millions if not tens of millions of lives all around the world?\r\nWhy is it bad news, as the governor of New York calls it, why is it bad news that American invention and innovation and an investment by this body has brought such a tremendous, what I would call as a doctor, a modern medical miracle.\r\nWe still need to provide additional funding for vaccine distribution. There is going to be a briefing tomorrow for all of the senators, on both sides of the aisle, with the Operation Warp Speed, to talk with the heads of research and distribution about how to make sure we can continue on this path to success.\r\nA path that the New York Times yesterday described as one that could lead to 20 million people being vaccinated before the end of this year.\r\nBad news says the governor of New York because it came this year rather than after January 20th.\r\nIt's distressing that an elected official would behave that way, in such a callous manner, towards the lives as well as the livelihood of so many Americans.\r\nWe still have work to do. At every turn, Democrats have blocked our path. They're keeping us stuck, and America stuck, in this coronavirus crisis by demanding funding for things unrelated to coronavirus.\r\nI heard the Speaker of the House say she wanted this $3 trillion for all sorts of things unrelated to coronavirus. She has more money in that bill to send direct paychecks to illegal immigrants, people in this country illegally, than she does for coronavirus vaccine.\r\nThat's the kind of opposition and leftist thinking that we've been running into here in this body, and that the American people rejected on election day and said, No we want a path forward. We want to continue the great American comeback. We want our jobs. We want that path forward.'\r\nThere's still more work to be done, and we are ready to do it.\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://www.barrasso.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-releases?ContentRecord_id=62C8A12A-5894-406A-B487-E43219F740B8", "Barrasso Announces Intent to Lead Senate Energy Committee", "2020-11-18", "2020", "2020-11", "Republican", "Senate", "WY", "John Barrasso", "B001261", "www.barrasso.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "WASHINGTON, D.C.

Barrasso's remarks.\r\nWASHINGTON, D.C.  Recently, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) spoke on the Senate floor to express support for Senator Kelly Loeffler's (R-GA) new health care initiative, the Modernizing Americans' Health Care plan.\r\nExcerpts of Senator Barrasso's remarks:\r\nI come to the floor today to talk about the work of my good friend and colleague, the junior senator from Georgia, Senator Kelly Loeffler.\r\nRepublicans, including the senator from Georgia, continue to put forward solutions to address one of our country's most pressing problems, and that, of course, is health care.\r\nAs a doctor, I recognize that health care remains a top priority for families all across this great country.\r\nSenator Loeffler also knows how important health care is to families not just across her state of Georgia but to families all around America.\r\nShe has a proposal. It is called Modernizing Americans' Health Care. This plan is another example of the important contributions that she is making here in the Senate to the wellbeing of the entire nation.\r\nHer plan emphasizes that Americans with pre-existing conditions must be protected.\r\nMy colleague is absolutely right.\r\nEveryone knows someone with a pre-existing condition.\r\nMy own wife, Bobbi, is a breast cancer survivor. She's had three operations. She's had chemotherapy twice. She has now survived that cancer by over 15 years. That's a pre-existing condition.\r\nLet there be no doubt, Republicans will always make sure that patients are able to get insurance, regardless of their medical condition.\r\nSenator Loeffler's plan also recognizes the need for more insurance choices.\r\nAmericans need the coverage that works for them and their families. It should be available, affordable and appropriate for them, what they need, not what the government says they have to have.\r\nSo families need more options.\r\nAssociation health plans let small businesses and community organizations come together with the buying power of large corporations. This helps lower the cost of care.\r\nMain Street, I believe, deserves the same opportunity to buy insurance as Wall Street, and that's what Senator Loeffler is proposing.\r\nHer plan also lets consumers save more of their own money to pay for health care.\r\nRight now, as a result of the Obama health care law, Americans can only use a health savings account when it's tied to a high-deductible health care plan.\r\nMy colleague from Georgia wants to expand these accounts for anyone with health insurance coverage, regardless of their type of insurance plan.\r\nEveryone knows over the last years since the Obama health care law was passed that deductibles have continued to keep climbing.\r\nWe need to give families relief by letting them save more of their own money, tax free, through a health savings account.\r\nThat way, families could use the money to pay for deductibles and other kinds of health care expenses that right now they are not allowed to do.\r\nAs a doctor, one thing in particular that I strongly support, of course, is direct primary care. We have it running successfully in my home state of Wyoming.\r\nThat's when someone pays your health care provider a flat monthly fee instead of a fee every time you visit the doctor or the nurse or the nurse practitioner.\r\nConsumers like this arrangement. They like it because it takes the uncertainty out of a doctor's visit. They always know what they are going to pay month to month to month.\r\nProviders like it because they get to focus on patients over all the paperwork that is so often required by insurance companies.\r\nWhen I talk to doctors who are tired of practicing medicine and want to retire, I ask them, what is it that you don't like?' They love taking care of patients, but they hate the paperwork that comes with it so often related to the law, the mandates and the things that happen with trying to comply with insurance paperwork.\r\nA lot more can be done, and we know this as a result of coronavirus, in terms of providing health care using telemedicine.\r\nEspecially in my home state where there are great distances and lots of rural communities, it's a great opportunity for people to receive health care from a distance using the newest technology of the day.\r\nI think we have seen much more about telemedicine due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Patients have tried it. They like it. The providers that I have talked to around the state of Wyoming like it a lot.\r\nThere has been an issue in the past though of the issue of how to reimburse and how many visits and the distance and did they need to come into the office. Would it be covered by insurance? Would it be covered by Medicare? Would it be covered by Medicaid? All of the issues, the hassles for the patient and the provider. To me, telemedicine is now here to stay.\r\nThese direct primary care practices truly have been on the leading edge of telemedicine because they didn't have to worry about insurance company reimbursements based on the number of face-to-face visits. They could just visit and talk to the patient using telemedicine.\r\nSpeaking of COVID-19, this plan also ensures that we continue fighting back against this virus. There is tremendous news today about vaccines. Two vaccines. One 90% effective. One 94% effective.\r\nAs a doctor, I will tell you, these are breakthroughs. These are modern day miracles of medicine.\r\nJust think about, not that long ago, Dr. Fauci said if we could get a vaccine that was 50% effective that would be tremendous.\r\nBut we are talking much, much higher rates of effectiveness than that.\r\nMy colleague, in her proposal, also calls to focus on something we can all support: That's making drugs and personal protective equipment here in the United States, producing here, at home, in America.\r\nWe need to bring the manufacturing of these critical supplies back to our own communities, certainly back to our country.\r\nNever again, never again, should our patients and health care workers be held hostage by China or any other nation.\r\nSenator Loeffler knows that Americans should not be the sole payers for the innovation that supports the rest of the world.\r\nMy colleague's plan reinforces the fact that our trade policies must reflect when countries freeload off of American innovation.\r\nAnd finally, she wants to make sure that pharmacy discounts benefit the patients, not large pharmacy so called benefit managers.\r\nThis is a commonsense legislative proposal that will mean lower drug prices for patients who have to take expensive medications.\r\nWhen discounts go directly to patients, Americans will see much lower costs when they pay at the pharmacy counter.\r\nThis is by no means an exhaustive list of what is in Senator Loeffler's proposal.\r\nI'm sure that, in the days ahead, the Senate will have a chance to hear more about her important work on health care.\r\nI look forward to continuing to work with her, and all my colleagues, as Republicans get these important policies enacted into law.\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"],

today's House Republican leadership press conference, Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-WY)delivered remarks after being unanimously elected by her colleagues to serve as the Chair of the House Republican Conference for the 117th Congress.\nWatch the video here, and see the transcript below:\n\nREP. LIZ CHENEY: It's really an honor to be here with our Leader and our Whip, with Mike Johnson, our newly elected Vice Chair, Gary Palmer re-elected as Policy Chair, and Richard Hudson who is going to be our Conference Secretary. We've just come from our leadership elections and the feeling in the room and the enthusiasm and the excitement about where we are and about the hard work ahead of us, but the momentum and the energy to get that work done, has been really remarkable. We have a tremendous class of incoming Members, many of whom themselves have fought these challenges that we're fighting now. We've got four Members of the incoming class who were born, whose families came to the United States from socialist countries, who have lived first-hand what it means when the government takes power away from the people and when people lose their freedom. We are all absolutely committed to continue to fight against that, to make sure that the kinds of results that we saw in the House across this country are replicated and expanded. We also are committed to making sure that we do the work the American people have sent us here to do. As the Leader and the Whip said, the Speaker time and time again has proven that she's more concerned with placating the far-left of her party than she is with actually getting things done for the American people  whether you're talking about COVID, whether you're talking about health care generally, the extent to which that they've embraced socialism across the board. So, we're committed to doing the work our constituents sent us here to do, doing it together in a unified way so that we can deliver again in a majority in 2022.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["http://www.enzi.senate.gov//public/index.cfm/news-releases?ContentRecord_id=5F7C3FA9-5C33-47BF-A50F-6CD1F82ACFA6", "Enzi, Barrasso push to protect air national guard aircraft", "2020-11-13", "2020", "2020-11", "Republican", "Senate", "WY", "Michael Enzi", "E000285", "www.enzi.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "U.S. Senators Mike Enzi and John Barrasso, both R-Wyo., joined a group of bipartisan senators to advocate for a large enough C-130 aircraft fleet to support active duty missions as well as respond to disasters and emergencies at home.

We have four new members, who were part of the conference discussions today. They are great additions, and I'm especially happy to have Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming joining me. She is the first woman elected to the United States Senate from Wyoming, in our 130 years as a state.\r\nWe still have a couple of races in Georgia. Our candidates are very tough people and they know how to run tough races, and I expect victories there.\r\nWe did learn some lessons from this election, that there was a rejection of this very liberal approach by the Democrats far to the left, they've rejected defund the police, rejected expanding the size of the Supreme Court beyond the nine, they've rejected forcing us to stop producing American energy.\r\nAs Republicans we're going to keep talking about the things that we believe people at home believe is important to them, which is getting back to work, getting our kids safely back to school and getting this coronavirus disease behind us. That is what the Republican Conference is going to continue to talk about.\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"],

Along with Senator John Barrasso, our state will have a powerful trio serving us in Congress.\r\nThere's a lot of interest and attention focused on the top of the ballot, and rightly so, but it's important to remember that governing happens at the local level. Our county commissioners, city council, school board members  those are the people who shape our communities, and I applaud everyone who had the courage to put their name on a ballot this year.\r\nAs we move forward, our country has no shortage of problems we need to address.

If my experience over the years has taught me anything, it is that we will never be able to tackle these challenges unless we find common areas of agreement first and work to solve those problems together.

The letter was led by U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va.\r\nSpecifically, the senators asked Administrator Wheeler to use his statutory authorities under theClean Air Actto citesevere economic harm and employ a general waiver to not increase the RVO for 2021.Given that COVID-19 has suppressed demand for gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, any increase in the mandate would cause severe and outsized economic harm next year by raising costs for consumers, particularly at the gas pump, they said. Additionally, the letter urges the EPA to not reallocate prior year obligations that would increase burdens on refiners of all sizes, including small refiners.\r\nAny increase in blending volumes mandated under the RFS, especially an expansion of the 2021 RVO, would ultimately impact American consumers forced to bear the associated costs, creating another drag on a national economy that is in a state of fragile recovery from the depths of the pandemic.

We will confirm this exceptional justice regardless of the delay tactics, regardless of the seek-and-destroy mission that Democrats have launched.\r\nClick here to watch Sen. Barrasso's remarks.\r\nWASHINGTON, D.C.  Recently, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) spoke on the Senate floor about the need to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court despite Democrats' false attacks and scare tactics.\r\nExcerpts of Senator Barrasso's remarks:\r\nI come to the floor today also in support of the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to serve on the United States Supreme Court.\r\nI'll tell you, she's terrific, so impressive, so exceptionally well qualified to take on this new responsibility.\r\nThe partisanship that she has faced from Democrats, it's predictably backfired on them, certainly by the American people who say get her confirmed, put her on the Supreme Court.\r\nThat is what they saw when they watched the hearings last week, somebody who is ready to serve our nation and apply the law, not legislate from the bench.\r\nThis is an important moment in our history.\r\nJudge Barrett, the Senate, the American people deserved a hearing that matched the moment and that highlighted her qualifications and capabilities.\r\nRegrettably, Americans got a weeklong lecture by Democrats which turned out to be often a partisan infomercial on Obamacare.\r\nThis is a law that, 10 years on, Democrats are still trying to explain to the American people.\r\nThey are still trying to explain all these millions and millions of people who lost their health insurance, still trying to explain millions and millions of people whose costs went up - more than doubled.\r\nJudge Barrett is very clear, has been clear. She has no agenda, for any case. As a judge, she considers each case on the merits.\r\nThere's only one real explanation for Democrats' fixation on Obamacare during a Supreme Court hearing. They're trying to score political points, appeal to their far-left base before an election.\r\nIt's shameful. It's a scare tactic.\r\nI hear scare tactics, false attacks, on health care that frighten people. That's not the way that we ought to be doing things.\r\nThey never mention that Senate Republicans have voted now five times to protect people with pre-existing conditions, including today, on the bill that every one of those Democrats voted against, with a targeted relief plan.\r\nThere was a component of that to make sure that people with pre-existing conditions were protected, and the coronavirus is now listed as a pre-existing condition.\r\nEvery Democrat voted against adding coronavirus as a pre-existing condition.\r\nEvery Republican today voted in favor.\r\nDemocrats seem to be trying to make a standard confirmation process about anything other than the qualifications of an exceptionally qualified nominee.\r\nThese attacks began before her nomination was even announced.\r\nShe was criticized for being a mom, criticized for having seven children, criticized for going to church.\r\nThere are Democrat candidates now, running for the United States Senate, criticizing her religion, her faith, and God  astonishing.\r\nThe delay tactics and the defamation has continued. We have seen this before.\r\nThe American people saw through the Democrats disturbing attacks on Brett Kavanaugh two years ago. Americans rejected the cheap character assassination. They rejected the low road.\r\nNow Democrats are leaving open the possibility, I hear this from the members of this body as well as candidates for the United States Senate, if they win the election, if they take the White House, if they take the Senate, of expanding the size of the United States Supreme Court. Nine to eleven or thirteen, they haven't decided yet.\r\nOne of the presidential candidates won't even announce what his thoughts are on it. He won't say. He won't tell the American people. Wait till after the election is over, just like it was with Obamacare, first you have to pass it before you get to find out what's in it.\r\nThe size of the Supreme Court has been at nine for 150 years, 1869.\r\nRuth Bader Ginsburg said nine is the right number. She said to go beyond that would be politicizing it, but that's what we see happening today with the sorts of threats that we see coming from the other side of the aisle.\r\nWhat do the American people think about that? The New York Times poll this week said 58% of voters said they are against adding additional members to the Supreme Court.\r\nHow many favor?

Barrasso's remarks.\r\nWASHINGTON, D.C.  Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) spoke on the Senate floor about Democrats' continued effort to block coronavirus relief legislation if it does not meet their list of political demands.\r\nSenator Barrasso also commended Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) for her work on paycheck protection to aid small businesses.\r\nExcerpts of Senator Barrasso's remarks:\r\nFirst, I would like to commend my colleague, the Senator from Maine, for her absolute unquestioned leadership in this issue of paycheck protection.\r\nShe knows in Maine, as I do in Wyoming, the importance of small businesses to our communities, to our main streets, to the vitality of our economies.\r\nShe has led the fight from the beginning of coronavirus to make sure our businesses would remain viable, that they would have opportunities to keep people on the payroll, that they could continue to contribute to their communities.\r\nShe was the one that brought up this idea at the first place, shepherded it all the way through the Congress as part of the Cares Act and continues in that leadership role today.\r\nI come here, today, on the floor to first commend my colleague from Maine and also to talk about the ongoing fight against coronavirus and the plan forward guided by data and doctors to put the disease behind us and let all of these small businesses to continue to strive and to thrive.\r\nThose in the fight against the virus, and I talk to you as a doctor now, continue to hold our respect and our admiration. They are doing remarkable work in community hospitals and clinics all around the country.\r\nAcross the country, as a result of the PPP program, our main streets are getting a little busier, our economy is gaining strength, kids are going back to school and even some football is being played.\r\nMost importantly, we're learning more about this disease and how we can successfully treat COVID-19.\r\nWhat doctors and clinicians and researchers and scientists have been able to accomplish in such a relatively short period of time is nothing short of remarkable.\r\nThese men and women are fighting a battle every day in the labs and hospitals around the world. They are racing against time, and they are saving lives. They are heroes today at work all across our nation.\r\nAn effective vaccine will allow everyone to get back to work and to school. It will also be the protection our most vulnerable Americans desperately needs, our seniors, patients with preexisting conditions, anyone confined to a nursing home.\r\nCongress has already directed $10 billion for vaccine development. I for one and other members of the Republican Conference believe that we should be doing more.\r\nA month ago, the Senate tried to begin debate on our plan to finish the fight against coronavirus. The bill we brought to the floor of the Senate would get people back to work safely, would get kids back to school safely and would put the disease behind us.\r\nInstead, Democrats on this very floor, on this very floor, blocked the focused, targeted bill.\r\nThis week, Democrats once again are blocking another vote on relief for coronavirus. Relief that's needed all around the country. Relief that I hear about in Wyoming. Relief that our constituents talk to us about as we travel our states.\r\nSo why are the Democrats blocking this legislation?\r\nWell, it must be something significant to make them block giving aid to the American people when the people need it most urgently.\r\nWell, maybe this is why. Maybe the Republican bill doesn't include millions of dollars in tax breaks for rich people in New York and California. The Democrat House-passed bill includes those things.\r\nThe Republican bill doesn't give taxpayer money to people who are in the country illegally, but the Democrat House-passed bill does do that.\r\nThe Republican bill doesn't bail out states that have been mismanaged way before anyone had ever heard of coronavirus. The Democrat House-passed bill does that as well.\r\nThe Republican bill doesn't include money for marijuana banking. The House-passed bill does all of these things.\r\nHard to believe these are the reasons that Democrats are preventing coronavirus relief from reaching the President's desk.\r\nJust look at the difference in the priorities.\r\nDemocrats are refusing money for Americans until Congress funds their laundry list of unrelated liberal items for their favored liberal special interest groups.\r\nI hope the real reason for this coronavirus relief bill that it's being blocked isn't because of an upcoming election.\r\nI mean, I sincerely hope that Americans aren't being used to score political points or to damage political opponents.\r\nSurely, that can't be the reason. It would be unthinkable.\r\nSpeaker Pelosi and Senator Schumer need to set aside all of their political demands and focus on the people in need. Set aside the wasteful spending, unrelated to this battle, in order to save lives. Set aside their opposition to more money for a lifesaving vaccine.\r\nNow is the time to make an agreement that would actually benefit Americans today.\r\nThere is an urgency.\r\nWe need to act, and we should act now.\r\nTo paraphrase Winston Churchill, this virus could do its worst, but we will do our best.\r\nWe're doing our best.\r\nWe're doing our best to get through this together, to get a safe and effective vaccine, to get our economy and lives back on track.\r\nIt is time to pass targeted relief.\r\nThis is the path forward for America.\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z",

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, I am hosting my final conference online this year. That makes it more accessible than ever. Folks can participate from anywhere in the state from the comfort of their own living rooms. I encourage anyone interested to register today.\nThe conference is free and open to everyone. An online registration form is available on Enzi's website.\nThe Inventors Conference has become a Wyoming tradition and features speakers and inventors who share knowledge and expertise, Enzi said. This year's keynote speaker is Vigilent President and CEO John Falk. Established in 2015, Vigilent provides solutions to enhance defense, security and public safety capabilities through data and communications technology.\r\nRegardless of background or experience, everyone is welcome to attend all or portions of the conference to learn how to build on their ideas.The conference will be held via Zoom and begins at 8:30 a.m. A detailed agenda is available on Enzi's website, where you can also register between now and the morning of the conference.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["http://www.enzi.senate.gov//public/index.cfm/op-eds?ContentRecord_id=0E5A9795-8621-48C0-8138-24F061FB0B61", "Another dollar saved: The importance of retirement security", "2020-10-15", "2020", "2020-10", "Republican", "Senate", "WY", "Michael Enzi", "E000285", "www.enzi.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "Many Americans work for decades with the goal of eventually reaching a peaceful retirement. Some have even started to plan where they will retire and what trips they will take. However, it's crucial for everyone to actually plan for how they can afford it, and the sooner that planning starts the better.    \r\nUnfortunately the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted many of these goals and plans for Americans. Right now, only half of workers (48%) have calculated how much to save for a comfortable retirement, according to a 2020 Retirement Confidence Survey by the Employee Benefit Research Institute.    \r\nEarlier this year, the Senate unanimously passed my resolution declaring October as National Retirement Security Month. It is intended to raise awareness of personal financial literacy and encourage people to start planning for their future. Let this month act as a reminder to set aside time and maybe even talk to professionals. It's important for folks to stay educated and informed on your retirement savings  your future will depend on it.    \r\nThis month, I encourage everyone to work toward securing a future that is more than just comfortable. Find out what gaps are in your current plans. A good place to start is to research different options, understand the financial steps needed and commit to taking your retirement goals seriously. If needed, there is an online small business retirement tool to help educate employers on retirement savings options. Advisors are available at the national level from the Department of Labor and the IRS to local levels like the Wyoming Small Business Development Center. Set a strategy, whether it be a traditional retirement fund, like an IRA and 401(k), a pension system, or other personal saving accounts. For small business owners, I urge you to factor in your exit strategy and whether you plan to sell your business or stay involved once you've decided to retire. Visit the IRS website for more information on how to pick a retirement plan, maintain a plan and even how to correct an error in your planning. If you have already done the work and have retirement plans available for your employees, don't forget to make a plan for yourself.    \r\nSmall businesses this year have faced unprecedented challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many to reevaluate finances, seek emergency funding or maybe even close their doors. While saving for retirement may be the last thing on your mind, remember that there are resources out there to help keep you on track.    \r\nI encourage you to plan so that every day is not just another dollar spent, but another dollar saved for a better future.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"],

number of topics including Speaker Pelosi's refusalto negotiate in good-faith on a COVID-19 relief package that would provide critical assistance to the American people.\nListen to the interview here,and see an excerpt of the transcript below: \nREECE MONACO:With the coronavirus relief and stimulus, the President earlier this week said, You know what, we're going to stop talks until after the election,' and now he's saying Okay, well if you can bring me maybe a standalone type of bill or something, stimulus that might include the $1,200 payments'  that's something that he would sign. Is that something that needs to be done or is this going to be shut down until after the election?\nREP. LIZ CHENEY:You know, I hope not. I think that what we've seen over the course of the last 36 hours or so since the President said the negotiations were going to stop, it reset things. I think Speaker Pelosi is facing real pressure from a number of her [Democrat] members who are in vulnerable seats, who have had to go home and explain to their constituents why it is they haven't been able, with the majority, to pass the additional necessary relief. So, I am hopeful that the combination of putting additional pressure on Speaker Pelosi, being able to pull out some of the discrete standalone kinds of assistance programs people need, and the work, of course, of Leader McConnell over on the Senate side, that we will be able to get something moving, I hope. The Speaker at every opportunity has chosen the partisan approach over actually getting something done which is one of the biggest reasons why we've got to make sure she's not Speaker for very much longer.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://cheney.house.gov/2020/10/08/cheney-honors-wyomings-veterans-at-cheyenne-national-cemetery-dedication/", "Cheney Honors Wyomings Veterans At Cheyenne National Cemetery Dedication", "2020-10-08", "2020", "2020-10", "Republican", "Senate", "WY", "Liz Cheney", "C001109", "cheney.house.gov", null, null, "legacy", "Cheyenne Wyoming Congresswoman and House GOP Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) joined the Secretary of Veterans Affairs Robert Wilkie and Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon at the dedication ceremony for the newCheyenne National Cemetery,the first national veterans cemetery in the state.\nWatch Rep. Cheney's remarks from the ceremony here,and see the transcript below: \nREP. LIZ CHENEY:It's really a tremendous honor to be able to be here today with Secretary Wilke and Under Secretary Reeves, Governor Mark Gordon, and all of you, and a special honor and privilege to be here to help dedicate this sacred ground. There is really nothing that I do as Wyoming's Representative that is more important to me and more important to our state and our country than the work that we do on behalf of our veterans and on behalf of those who are currently serving in our Armed Forces.Across the country, certainly in Washington, we all know and recognize that the freedoms that we enjoy, the freedoms that we are able to exercise every single day, we only are able to do that because of brave men and women like you who have stepped forward, who have answered the call, and who put on the uniform of this nation.There are many veteran cemeteries across this country, including cemeteries on battlefields, particularly Civil War battlefields, and there's one in particular at Antietam. At the cemetery at Antietam, there's a statue of a Union soldier who stands at rest and he looks out over the graves of his colleagues, his brothers who fell in that battle. And the inscription on that statue says, Not for themselves, but for their country. I think that is something that we all need to pause every day, and particularly on a day like today when we're here to commemorate, to dedicate this cemetery, that it is because of the selfless service of all of you that we live in freedom.It's a call that generations since the beginning of our Republic have answered, the call that future generations will have to answer.I know that I, and all of Wyoming's elected leaders, certainly, Secretary Wilkie, Under Secretary Reeves, all of us who are here, our Cheyenne mayor as well, all of us know that our task and our responsibility in representing all of you is to make sure that we conduct ourselves in a way that is worthy of the sacrifices that so many have made and continue to make.So, I am very honored to be here, pleased to be able to be here on such an important day and such an important moment, and proud of all that we are able to do everyday to help to support and remember our veterans and those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you very much for your service, thanks for what you do for all of us, and it is my honor now, I believe, to turn things back over to Sam for Governor Gordon's remarks. Thank you very much.\nBackground:\nConstruction of the first phase of the cemetery provides space for more than 1,600 interments including caskets, in-ground burial of cremains, columbaria space for cremains and a memorial wall. At full capacity the cemetery will be able to accommodate just over 7,000 interments.\nTogether, all of you, and so many others, have enabled this ground to serve as a national shrine dedicated to the memories of the men and women to whom we all owe a great debt,said Secretary Wilkie.Wyoming has been blessed with an abundance of such men and women  whose collective courage and commitment allow us to flourish as a nation and as a people united.\nUntil now, the closest burial option was Fort Logan National Cemetery located 114 miles away in Denver, Colorado. The only in-state Veterans cemetery is Oregon Trail State Veterans Cemetery, run by the State of Wyoming, located 176 miles away in Evansville. The 5.02-acre cemetery is expected to serve a population of more than 55,000 Veterans, their spouses and eligible children within a 75-mile radius of Cheyenne. This number includes over 15,000 Wyoming Veterans who will now be served with a VA burial option for the first time.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"],

Republican Conference Chair and Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-WY) issued the following statement after voting against Speaker Pelosi's Cynical Partisan Bill:\nAcross America families are suffering and Speaker Pelosi refuses to deal with this crisis. Time and again, we have watched her block relief, refuse to negotiate, and delay progress. Instead, she repeatedly introduces partisan bills that have no chance of passage. The Democrats are wasting invaluable time and turning their backs on the American people. We should be providing assistance to families, workers, small businesses, agriculture and energy producers in Wyoming and across America. Instead, Speaker Pelosi has introduced legislation layered up with trillions in runaway spending that funds Green New Deal-style programs, sends taxpayer-money to illegal immigrants, and changes election law to rig the process for Democrats. While throwing money at a slew of far-left proposals, the Speaker still managed to find a way in this bill to cut money for our law enforcement officials, building on the Democrats' commitment to defund the police. Speaker Pelosi has fundamentally failed America and her decision to stand in the way of a commonsense relief bill is the latest example of that.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"],

national effort to help educate and encourage workers to focus on their financial needs for retirement, the Senate has designated October as National Retirement Security Month.U.S. Senator Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., introduced the bipartisan resolution, which the Senate passed unanimously. Enzi hopes the month will encourage Americans to take steps toward securing their futures by exploring various retirement vehicles and increasing personal financial literacy. \nPlanning for retirement can seem daunting, but it is one of the best things you can do for your future, Enzi said. I urge everyone to evaluate your personal retirement goals and take advantage of resources available to ensure you're on track to reach those goals. If the COVID-19 pandemic led you to reevaluate your finances, remember to include retirement in all aspects of planning for the future.\nThe Employee Benefit Research Institute found that the amount workers have saved for retirement is much less than the amount those workers need to adequately fund their retirement years. \nThe resolution was cosponsored by U.S. Senators Ben Cardin, D-Md., Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., Susan Collins, R-Maine, Maggie Hassan D-N.H., Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Todd Young, R-Ind.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"],

finalChina Task Forcereport.\nThe House Republican China Task Force Report addresses key issues the nation must confront in order to defend against the threat posed to our freedom and security by the Chinese Government. The final report, which includes more than 400 recommendations,highlights the importance of ongoing increased funding for the U.S. Department of Defense, including for a modernized nuclear triad, sea and air power, cutting edge capabilities in space, cyberspace, and other emerging technologies, and acquisitions and military construction projects necessary to deter the CCP's malign behavior on the world stage.The full report can be found here and an executive summary can be found here.\nWatch the video of Rep. Cheney's remarks here, and see the transcript below:\n\nREP. LIZ CHENEY:Thank you very much, Whip Scalise. I want to join in thanking our leader, Kevin McCarthy, for putting this task force together and the leader of the task force Chairman McCaul in leading us, the staff who helped us make sure that in such a timely fashion we were able to put together a report that touches on every aspect of the threat this nation faces with respect to China. At a moment where we are facing, I think, what is a generational threat, it is too bad that the Democrats refused to join us on this report. As the Leader said, two-thirds of the recommendations in here are bipartisan, and in order for us to defeat the threat from China, we've got to work in a bipartisan fashion. So, we call on Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats once again to stop putting their personal political interests ahead of the interests of the security of this country and join us in helping to put in place some of these recommendations. I want to say just a few words specifically about the defense portion of this report. China is rapidly developing a military force that is capable of winning regional conflicts and they're expanding their military footprint globally. The government of China and the Chinese Communist Party have gone to school on the United States  they've looked at our capabilities, they've looked at the particular assets that we have that enable us to project our power, that enable us to make sure that we maintain our military supremacy and they have developed capabilities to counter those. In particular, this report points out the importance of sufficient continued funding for our Defense Department. We have heard repeatedly from the military leadership and the civilian leadership of the Department over the course of many years that we must have three to five percent annual real growth increases in the defense budget in order to maintain our supremacy, and that was pre-COVID. It's crucially important that we continue that resource of funding. We must modernize our nuclear triad. It's crucial to deterring the Chinese Communist Party and we must also develop and field conventional capabilities that are critical to countering the Chinese Communist Party in the Indo-Pacific in particular. This includes ground launched cruise and ballistic missiles. The People's Republic of China is now the leading theater range missile power with both dual and conventional nuclear delivery capabilities  we must counter that. We must modernize our sea and air power, we must procure long range precision fires and strategic fires, we have to build contested logistics capabilities, and we've got to develop new operational concepts  joint operational concepts that allow us to counter the threat, that allow us to truly do what's necessary to defend this country. Congress must fund military construction, prepositioning, strategic airlift, tanker support, and surge capacity. And we must counter the Chinese Communist Party globally as it seeks to establish more robust logistics and basing infrastructure around the world as it seeks to project its own military power. In conclusion, it is very important for everyone to note that we are in the midst of a battle between freedom and totalitarianism. The question we all face is whether the United States and our allies will set the rules of the road into the future or whether the Chinese Communist Party and that authoritarian, totalitarian regime will set the rules of the road. The proposals that we have offered in this report recognize the gravity and the significance of this moment that we face and if followed these proposals will help ensure that freedom and the U.S.-led global order prevail.  \nBACKGROUND:\nIn May, Rep. Cheney was named a member of the House GOP Leader'sChinaTaskForcewhich was originally a bipartisan effort; however Democratic leaders backed out the day before it was supposed to launch, with Speaker Pelosi later saying Republicans calling attention to China was a diversion.\nThe CTF Report is broken down into six chapters: Ideological Competition; Supply Chain; National Security; Technology; Energy and Economics; and Competitiveness. In total, the CTF engaged with more than 130 leaders to provide insights and solutions for its comprehensive action plan.\nAdditionally, this past June, Rep. Cheney led a letter to President Trump, signed by 40 of her House colleagues,highlighting the need for the United States tocontainthe CCP'smalign nuclear ambitions.The full letter can be found here.\nIn February, Rep. Cheney joined Congressman Michael McCaul (R-TX), the lead Republican of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, to introducea resolution denouncing the United Kingdom's decisionto allowHuaweito build part of their 5G networks. TheUnited Kingdom later reversed their decision andannounced in Julythat it would ban Huawei from its 5G network, requiring all operators to dispose of Huawei equipment by 2027.\nAdditionally, this pastJanuary, Rep. Cheney joined Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN)in introducing a billthat would bar the U.S. from sharing intelligence with any country that allows Huawei into its 5G networks.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://www.barrasso.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-releases?ContentRecord_id=DD645142-DAA6-403A-A3CE-DD28311224BB", "Barrasso: Amy Coney Barrett is an Outstanding Nominee for the Supreme Court", "2020-09-30", "2020", "2020-09", "Republican", "Senate", "WY", "John Barrasso", "B001261", "www.barrasso.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "Judge Barrett is a brilliant jurist. She has a stellar record, and she has a solid character. She will serve as a role model for an entire generation in the legal profession.\r\nClick here to watch Sen. Barrasso's remarks.\r\nWASHINGTON, D.C.  Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) spoke on the Senate floor about how Senate Republicans intend to hold fair and timely hearings on President Trump's outstanding U.S. Supreme Court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett.\r\nExcerpts of Senator Barrasso's remarks:\r\nI come to the floor today to discuss the president's historic choice for the U.S. Supreme Court.\r\nThe president has nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. She would fill the vacancy left by the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.\r\nThis is a powerful and positive appointment by President Trump.\r\nJudge Barrett is a brilliant jurist. She has a stellar record, and she has a solid character. She will serve as a role model for an entire generation in the legal profession.\r\nShe has already been vetted by the Senate. She was vetted and received bipartisan support when she was confirmed three years ago to her current court position. Well, that's the definition of highly qualified.\r\nShe embodies the qualities that the American people want in a justice.\r\nNow, the American people want fair justices. They want justices who know that their job is to apply the law, not legislate from the bench.\r\nThat's what people in my home state of Wyoming talked about this past weekend when I was visiting at home. That's what the people of Wyoming want. They want Judge Barrett, and she is committed, through her time in the legal profession and on the bench, to these very values.\r\nSo here in the Senate, in this body, we have a job to do, and that is to offer advice and consent.\r\nWe will hold fair hearings. And we will hold a timely floor vote on Judge Barrett's nomination.\r\nMy colleagues on the other side of the aisle don't seem to feel the same way about this process. In fact, they've already announced their opposition to the nominee.\r\nRegardless of how qualified this nominee is who is before us. Regardless of the vacancy that exists on the court. Regardless of the spectacle that the American people saw two years ago in the confirmation of Justice Kavanaugh.\r\nThe Senate Minority Leader has made his position clear. He appears to be so disturbed by the prospect of a constitutional jurist on the bench that he is willing to upend the core institutions of our nation.\r\nNow, Democrat senators are calling on their colleagues to pack the court'  to add two more liberal, activist justices to the Supreme Court. One senator tweeted about it this weekend. That's of course what they plan to do if they win the White House, the House, and the Senate in the November elections.\r\nNow this would deliver partisan decisions that make law, but don't apply the law.\r\nNow, for Vice President Biden, and the presidential debate last night, he refused to answer a specific, direct question about this very topic. He refused to reject a position that Democrats are holding that is highly unpopular and highly divisive.\r\nAnd now, adding members to the Supreme Court, you know who said that was a bad idea? Well it was Ruth Bader Ginsburg.\r\nShe said nine members is the right number. It works. People shouldn't try to add to that. It would be seen as partisan, political. And of course, that number has been in place since 1869.\r\nLast year in an interview she said that nine was the right number, so this isn't something she said a long time ago. It was just last year in an interview with National Public Radio.\r\nDemocrats aren't going to listen to her.\r\nSenior Democrats appear determined to remake the Senate and destroy the Supreme Court in the process.\r\nThe radical left sees Judge Barrett simply as collateral damage. She is an obstacle to be overcome, no matter the cost.\r\nThat's why she's being attacked for her faith. For being an active member of her church, for participating fully.\r\nShe's being attacked as a mother, being attacked for her religious beliefs. The far left, in their haste to attack the judge, never mentions that she has seven children.\r\nNow two of those seven children were adopted from Haiti. One of her children has special needs, so Judge Barrett is a full-time caregiver, as well as a public servant.\r\nShe understands the importance of health care. She understands how precious life is.\r\nShe is an outstanding nominee.\r\nTwo years ago, we considered another nominee for the Supreme Court. Democrats dragged him through the mud. We witnessed a gangland character assassination.\r\nI wouldn't be surprised if we see the same thing happen again. The far-left is already demanding it.\r\nThey are demanding that mud continue be thrown at this nominee until it stickssomething, anything to undermine her character and undermine her credibility.\r\nI might remind my friends what the outcome of that seek-and-destroy mission was last time.\r\nJustice Kavanaugh's family was put through the meat grinder. And Republicans stood by him.\r\nHe was confirmed by the Senate and sits on the Supreme Court.\r\nThis Senate and the American people won't stand for more political games. We won't accept the dirty tricks that the far-left is going to continue to try to pull.\r\nChairman Lindsey Graham has promised a fair process on the Judiciary Committee.\r\nThe Majority Leader has indicated full and fair consideration on the Senate floor.\r\nWe won't yield an inch to the mob.\r\nLet me be even clearer. If Democrats continue to smear this outstanding nominee, this mother of seven, this woman of faith: it's going to backfire on them, again.\r\nThey continue such stunts at their own peril.\r\nAfter the Kavanaugh confirmation devolved into a circus, Democrats lost seats in the Senate, and they lost credibility with the public.\r\nThe American people expect fairness. They demand it for the highest court in the land and Senate Republicans will ensure it.\r\nWe will ensure Judge Barrett is fairly treated. She deserves dignity and respect. And we will ensure that she is heard.\r\nAmy Coney Barrett appears to have all the qualities I look for in a Supreme Court justice. She is a model of integrity, of intelligence, and of judicial independence.\r\nShe is highly qualified for the role to which she is nominated.\r\nAnd she will receive a fair vote in the United States Senate.\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://www.barrasso.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/tv-appearances?ContentRecord_id=5F6C28DA-BBA4-497C-B6C2-BD2D37A79EFC", "Senator

In response to the pandemic and the ensuing lockdowns, we came together on a bipartisan basis to enact the largest relief package in U.S. history. We worked to alleviate the financial devastation. And it helped, but at great cost.\r\nEnzi noted that a lack of attention to our increased national debt means there is less flexibility to deal with any future crisis. CBO estimates the legislation enacted in response to the pandemic so far will cost roughly $2.8 trillion, adding to our already high and rising national debt. Over time, CBO says that our growing debt will result in higher borrowing costs, lower output, and an increased risk of a fiscal crisis. Higher interest payments on the debtwhich CBO projects will be larger than any single program by 2050could also make it harder for lawmakers to respond to future emergencies.\r\nDeficit spending and the national debt were unsustainable before the pandemic, Chairman Enzi said.

LIZ CHENEY: Hi everybody. Thank you for joining us today, we appreciate it. We want to talk about several issues. First of all, the Supreme Court nomination, we are obviously very focused and unified behind the President nominating. We're going to be following what's happening in the Senate closely  they ought to move to confirm quickly. We think that the American people have spoken in terms of this election cycle. The President has the constitutional obligation, responsibility to name a Justice and we anticipate and are hearing he will do so. It's critically important to recognize the lasting legacy of this President's nominations to the Supreme Court and also to the lower courts. It's been really in coordination with the Senate, a tremendous set of progress and achievements  naming judges and Justices who understand the role of the courts is to interpret the law, not to make law, as well as Justices who are committed to the original intent of the Constitution and upholding that. We're also working closely, obviously we know the American people are in need of additional COVID relief, the extent to which we have watched this Speaker, time and time again, choose the very most partisan approach with respect to relief packages, putting packages on the floor that she knows will not pass the Senate, she knows will not end up at the President's desk and, therefore, will not help the American people. At a moment when people's lives are on the line, at a moment when people's livelihoods are on the line, she has demonstrated again and again a cynical approach to leadership that is absolutely not responding to the needs of the people and putting the people at risk.

LIZ CHENEY:I rise in support of H.R. 895. As it was just described, this bill would enable tribal grant school employees to participate in the Federal Health Benefits program.

This stand-alone legislation will go a long way to help tribal grant schools during the COVID-19 recovery period and beyond. I am disappointed however Mr. Speaker that the Democrat Majority has refused to act on S. 886, the Indian Water Rights Settlement Extension Act.\nS. 886 includes the text of this bill and would also help tribes in one of the hardest hit COVID-19 regions of the country, the Navajo Nation, which has cited lack of water as a complication for fending off this deadly virus.S. 886 addresses this very issue by ensuring better access to water for the Tribe. Unfortunately, the Majority has let this water settlement agreement for the Navajo collect dust  it has been 90 days since the Senate passed this bipartisan bill and despite repeated requests for its consideration, the Democrats have taken no action to see this critical agreement enacted into law. I would like to submit for the Record a letter from Navajo President Nez asking Speaker Pelosi to schedule a vote on final passage for S. 886. . . Again, we support the passage of Congressman Johnson's H.R. 895 but would much prefer to enact the provision into law, along with measures that will help the Navajo Nation with their broader water shortages.\nH.R. 4957, Native American Child Protection Act:\nREP. CHENEY:H.R. 4957 reauthorizes three programs that are intended to prevent cases within Indian communities where child abuse, neglect, family violence, and trauma may occur, and to provide treatment for victims of Indian child sexual abuse. The authorization for appropriations for the three programs expired in 1997. The bill also makes several technical changes to the underlying statute, requiring agency reports on grant awards.While advocates cite the Indian Child Protection and Family Violence Prevention Act as the only federal dedicated child abuse prevention and victim treatment funding for tribal governments, Congress has only appropriated approximately $5 million for this program. I appreciate the sponsor bringing attention to this important issue as abuse, neglect and violence have no place in any community.\nS. 294, Native American Business Incubators Program:\nREP. CHENEY:Madam Speaker, S. 294 recognizes the important role that business incubators can play in generating economic growth, economic activity, and supporting our tribal businesses, and I thank my colleague very much for bringing this legislation to the floor here in the House. As defined in this bill, Madam Speaker, a business incubator is an organization that provides physical workspace and facilities resources to startups and established businesses. As my colleague has pointed out, there are many challenges that are unique to our tribal communities that this bill will help to focus on and help members of our tribes overcome. By offering services that range from workplace enhancement, comprehensive skills training, networking assistance, business incubators have been a reliable and consistent solution to many of the challenges startup businesses face around the country, and many of the challenges that continue to plague Indian country.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://cheney.house.gov/2020/09/22/cheney-people-are-sick-of-democrats-ignoring-the-constitution-threatening-to-burn-the-whole-place-down/", "Cheney: People Are Sick Of Democrats Ignoring The Constitution & Threatening To Burn The Whole Place Down", "2020-09-22", "2020", "2020-09", "Republican", "Senate", "WY", "Liz Cheney", "C001109", "cheney.house.gov", null, null, "legacy", "WashingtonWyoming Congresswoman and House GOP Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) joined The Daily Briefing With Dana Perino on Fox News today to discuss the vacancy on the United States Supreme Court and Democrats' efforts to ignore the Constitution and impeach the President for following his constitutional responsibilities.\nWatch video of the interview here, and see the transcript below: \nDANA PERINO:Let's bring in Congresswoman Liz Cheney, House Republican Conference Chair. Congresswoman, could you listen to Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, she was on MSNBC earlier talking about Republicans.\nSPEAKER NANCY PELOSI:They're going to be paying this price for elections to come  elections to come. Everyone is looking at what makes a difference with these Senatorial races, we'll see, but what they don't really understand is, they're going to see 2018 again and again and again in terms of defeats in the Congress.\nPERINO:Does she have that wrong?\nREP. LIZ CHENEY:Absolutely, she does, Dana. I think the fact that the Democrats are even suggesting that they might move again to impeach the President when he is going to exercise his constitutional duty of naming somebody to the Supreme Court, tells you how desperate they are. This President has named judges that believe in the Constitution, that believe in the adherence to the Constitution, that know that judges are supposed to interpret the law and not make law, that's what he's going to do again with this appointment. He absolutely will do it, and I anticipate that the Senate will bring it up and will confirm the nominee, and I look forward to that.\nPERINO:What do you think the consequences for the Democrats talking about court packing or even, of course you know, you're from Wyoming, trying to abolish the Electoral College because they're so offended that small states, small population states, have influence and power as the Constitution requires?\nREP. CHENEY:I think the American people are sick and tired of it. The Constitution is very clear: elections matter. The American people elected President Trump, the American people gave us a majority in the Senate, and they expect us all to do our jobs. The more that the Democrats act as though they are willing to burn the whole place down, that they do not believe in the Constitution, the more threats that they make about court packing or trying to somehow abolish the Electoral College, the more the American people are just sick of it. They want people that are elected who are going to come to Washington, who are going to get things done. And all of the things that this Speaker has not done, the fact that we still do not have an extension to the PPP program, the fact that she will not bring legislation to the floor to help people that are still hurting because of the virus, instead she's out there making these wild claims about what she's going to do or the electoral consequences of President Trump doing his job. It's not going to fly with the American people, they are sick of it. They want results, and they want judges, as we have seen with this President, a historic number of judges who fundamentally are going to change the nature of this country going on for generations. We look forward to this battle, it will be one that we know we'll win.\nPERINO:I wonder also what you think about this, if this will have any effect on the House races?\nREP. CHENEY:Listen, I think that again, across the country, particularly in the swing districts, districts that we know we have to win, that we have to take back. Number one, there are lots of vulnerable Democrats who are adopting the same tactic as Joe Biden, hiding in the basement because their constituents want to know why they haven't voted on any COVID relief, why none of that has come to the floor to be able to actually pass the Senate and get to the President's desk for signature. Number two, they are sick and tired of politicians in Washington launching these attacks at each other, they want the work to get done. They want judges, frankly, who are going to abide by the Constitution. So I think the Speaker  it's not the first time she's been dead wrong, but she's dead wrong on this one.\nPERINO:We will have to see. Congresswoman Liz Cheney, of course, we love having you on the show. Thank you.\nREP. CHENEY:Thanks, Dana. Great to be with you.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://www.barrasso.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-releases?ContentRecord_id=923C1FB7-1DCB-460D-A562-D38E780083E5", "Barrasso Questions World Bank Nominee on Promoting Traditional Energy Projects and Responding to China", "2020-09-22", "2020", "2020-09", "Republican", "Senate", "WY", "John Barrasso", "B001261", "www.barrasso.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "WASHINGTON, D.C.  Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) questioned Ashok Michael Pinto, President Trump's nominee to be the United States alternate executive director of the World Bank's lending arm, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. Barrasso pressed Pinto on the World Bank's anti-fossil fuels policies, China's predatory lending, and the World Bank using American tax dollars to lend to China.\r\nPinto testified at today's Senate Committee on Foreign Relations nomination hearing.\r\nOn All of the Above Energy Strategy:\r\nFirst, I want to talk about an all of the above energy strategy.\r\nGlobal philanthropist Bill Gates explains that: Increasing access to electricity is critical to lifting the world's poor out of poverty.'\r\nWorldwide, there are just short of a billion people who are today living without electricity.\r\nThey can't cook or heat their homes safely, can't do it reliably.\r\nNearly three billion people still rely on wood and waste for household energy.\r\nPeople living in poor and developing nations, they want and need a stable energy supply. It's about energy today for them.\r\nThey are looking for power generation that provides energy security, it helps create jobs, and it improves their livestheir lives today.\r\nI believe traditional fuels are a vital tool to help people escape poverty.\r\nYet, over the past few years, the World Bank has been imposing restrictions on the financing of traditional energy projects.\r\nLast year, I led a dozen senators in a letter urging the World Bank to immediately lift these harmful restrictions.\r\nMy letter, of course, was to World Bank President David Malpass. It was co-signed by Senators Boozman, Capito, Cotton, Cramer, Cruz, Enzi, Hoeven, Johnson, Kennedy, Murkowski and Thune.\r\nTogether we pressed the bank to recommit to an all-of-the-above energy strategy.\r\nTo achieve its mission, the World Bank really, I believe, must embrace, not exclude, affordable energy resources.\r\nUltimately, the solution to energy poverty doesn't lie in limiting options but in using all available options.\r\nIf confirmed, will you commit to ensuring the World Bank is promoting all forms of energy projects across the globe, including oil, gas and coal?\r\nClick here to watch Sen. Barrasso Question Mr. Pinto on an All of the Above Energy Strategy\r\nOn China's Predatory Lending:\r\nI want to turn to China's predatory lending.\r\nThrough the Belt and Road Initiative, the Chinese Communist Party offers countries the ability to borrow a lot of money for infrastructure projects.\r\nThe problem is that these countries accumulate large amounts of debt to China, they are unable to pay it back, while still not achieving the development gains many are seeking.\r\nUnable to escape the massive debt that's owed to China, countries face default or the forfeiture of strategic assets and their natural resources, we've seen this happen around the globe.\r\nOn top of this financial pressure, some countries are now facing the economic hardships that have been caused by the coronavirus.\r\nTo me, this is a tragic recipe.\r\nWhat actions do you believe the World Bank should take, and how would you ensure American taxpayers are not bailing out Chinese financial intuitions and further enabling China's predatory lending policies?\r\nClick here to watch Sen. Barrasso Question Mr. Pinto on China's Predatory Lending\r\nOn World Bank Lending to China:\r\nChina is the second largest economy in the world.\r\nAs you point out, China still receives below market rates for projects financed with loans from the World Bank.\r\nIn December of 2019, the World Bank approved a new plan to provide China with between $1 billion to $1.5 billion in low-interest loans annually through June 2025.\r\nThis is happening while the Chinese Communist Party, through its Belt and Road Initiative, is engaged in predatory lending practices that we just described.\r\nI am seriously concerned about the World Bank using American tax dollars to loan money to China while China is engaged in debt trap diplomacy in developing countries across the globe.\r\nSo I appreciate your attention to that and your commitment to making sure that declines. I would like to have that decline in a rapid way.\r\nClick here to watch Sen.
