The text of the letter is below. ##### Dear Secretary Kerry: We write to express concern about ongoing efforts to impose the terms of a peace agreement on our friend and ally Israel outside of direct negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians. We urge you to make clear that the United States will veto any United Nations resolution and would oppose any efforts to bypass direct negotiations and impose peace terms on Israel through the United Nations Security Council and other international bodies. For decades, the United States has consistently opposed efforts to bypass direct negotiations and impose terms on Israel through the United Nations Security Council. As President Obama said to the United Nations General Assembly in 2011, \"I am convinced that there is no short cut to the end of a conflict that has endured for decades... Peace will not come through statements and resolutions at the United Nations... Ultimately, it is the Israelis and the Palestinians, not us, who must reach agreement on the issues that divide them; on borders and on security, on refugees and Jerusalem.\" We strongly agree with this sentiment. Yet there are multiple efforts in the United Nations Security Council to set parameters for final status negotiations, effectively imposing terms on our ally Israel in matters that are vital to its security and national interests. We strongly urge you to make clear to all parties that the United States strongly opposes, and if need be will veto, any effort to bypass direct negotiations and impose peace terms on Israel through the United Nations. A failure to decisively announce that we will veto any resolution from the United Nations that dictates the peace process runs counter to decades of American foreign policy and only gives momentum to these counterproductive proposals. We thank you for your continued dedication to this issue and we look forward to supporting our government's efforts to bring both parties back to the negotiating table without preconditions.  \n\n  \n  \n        \n            \n            You will need to have Real One Player installed on your computer to be able to listen or watch the clips above.

Worse still, the President\u2019s intention to initiate a review of Cuba\u2019s status as a \u2018State Sponsor of Terrorism\u2019 willfully turns a blind eye to Cuba\u2019s very public record of directly facilitating terrorism and criminal activities, opposing freedom for the Cuban people, and enabling Iran, Russia, North Korea, and China\u2019s activities in the Western Hemisphere.\u201d\n\u201cThe President must follow U.S. law with any policy or regulatory changes toward Cuba, and I look forward to working with my colleagues in the House Committee on Foreign Affairs to require accountability from this Administration on this issue.\u201d\n\u00a0\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["http://jeffduncan.house.gov/press-release/december-washington-update", "December Washington Update", "2014-12-17", "2014", "2014-12", "Republican", "House", "SC", "Jeffrey Duncan", "D000615", "jeffduncan.house.gov", null, null, "legacy", "December 11, 2014\nDear Friends,\nI am deeply honored by the trust you have placed in me as your representative, and I look forward to working on your behalf in Washington to bring your concerns to the forefront of the debates taking place. I wanted to send you an e-mail to give you an update on some things going on inside of DC:\nImmigration:\nI believe what the Administration has done is unprecedented, unconstitutional, and an affront to the American people. In addition to poisoning the well and making it almost impossible to work together on other issues, I believe the Administration\u2019s actions have created a constitutional crisis that our Founding Fathers had hoped to avoid. Presidents cannot create law. Regardless of how one feels about this issue or any other, I believe that hopefully reasonable minds can come together and agree that the precedent set by this Administration is dangerous. I am fighting hard to make sure that Congress uses the power of the purse to stop this in its tracks.\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 CRomnibus:\nWhile the spending bill contained several good reforms, I believe it didn\u2019t address the fact that this Administration has taken extraordinary steps to violate both the Constitution of the United States and our separation of powers. For this reason, I voted against the legislation. I believe it simply did not do enough to stop the Administration\u2019s executive action. Congress will have an opportunity to reevaluate the funding for the Administration\u2019s executive order when funding for the Department of Homeland Security expires in February.\nField Hearing:\nRecently, the Subcommittee on Oversight and Management Efficiency, part of the Committee on Homeland Security held a hearing on the campus of Clemson University. The hearing focused on challenges local communities face concerning emergency preparedness. We heard from some of the most qualified officials spanning from academia to law enforcement. Thanks to all of the participants, especially the law enforcement community who put their lives on the line every day to protect and serve the citizens of South Carolina. It is always important to break outside of the DC bubble and hear real stories from people on the ground. For more information on the hearing, please read this article from the Greenville News\u00a0or watch this story from by WSPA Greenville.\nAmerican Energy Independence:\nOn the energy front, America\u2019s representatives must encourage the continued exploration and development of domestic natural resources. An \u201call of the above\u201d plan can harness the power of the free market benefiting working Americans. I have pushed legislation to open up South Carolina\u2019s coast in the federal waters of the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf for production which passed the House this Congress as part of the Offshore Energy and Jobs Act.\u00a0A few months ago, South Carolina was given the green light for seismic testing on the coast for natural resources.\u00a0 Congress is working hard to have South Carolina included in the next five-year energy plan. A recent study prepared by Quest Offshore (here) estimates that by 2035, offshore oil and natural gas development could produce 1.3 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, generate up to 280,000 jobs, contribute up to $23.5 billion per year to the U.S. economy, and generate $51 billion in total government revenue.\nMy comprehensive energy plan, the Energy Exploration and Production to Achieve National Demand (EXPAND) Act, H.R. 3895, is essential to harnessing the wealth generated by the energy renaissance currently taking place in America. Much of the language from my bill H.R. 1613, the Outer Continental Shelf Transboundary Hydrocarbon Agreements Authorization Act was included in a Continuing Resolution passed by the House and signed into law by the President. The law lifts a moratorium on production of over nearly 1.5 million acres of the Gulf of Mexico known as the Western Gap.\u00a0 In the next Congress I encourage Congress to take up common sense policy measures that all rational people can agree on, such as the Keystone XL pipeline to continue to push energy production. Though these are only steps, the principles of liberty will serve to reinforce our economy by spreading innovation and ingenuity to the energy sector.\nConstitutional Oversight:\nI believe the holes continue to get deeper for the Administration as they dodge our efforts in the House to find the truth surrounding the many scandals plaguing the executive branch.\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 Benghazi:\nThere are Americans who are still unsatisfied with the answers given by the Administration concerning the death of four Americans at the Benghazi security compound over two years ago. Speaker Boehner\u2019s support to continue the investigation by reselecting Congressman Gowdy to serve as chair of the Select Committee will provide oversight of the Executive branch. His conclusions will surely be made justly, and I wholeheartedly back his search for the truth of what happened that tragic night. Please follow the link for a further news update regarding the hearing here.\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ObamaCare:\nUnfortunately, I believe there are still questions for the Administration to answer on Obamacare. The Department of Health and Human Services has recently disclosed that they have been misleading the American people on the ObamaCare enrollment figures by including dental plans. Over the next few weeks the House Committee on Oversight and Government reform will be investigating how far these numbers go.\u00a0 More information regarding the hearing can be found here, as well as a compilation of comments made by ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber here.\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 IRS:\nIn October, after a long fought battle against the Internal Revenue Service, the Laurens TEA Party has finally been granted approval for tax-exempt status. Also, an estimated 30,000 of the e-mails from Lois Lerner claimed to be lost by the IRS have been found! You can find articles for the Laurens TEA Party here, and the missing e-mails here.\nJobs & the Economy:\nIt is imperative Congress pushes rational and widely supported legislation that will incentivize businesses to hire and encourage optimism about the future. At least 47 jobs bills were stuck in the Senate during the 113thCongress. I insist the next Congress to follow the example of these bills by reintroducing them. Those include H.R. 890, Preserving Work Requirements for Welfare Programs Act, which prevents the undermining of reforms critical to helping millions out of poverty and into the workforce. The Small Business Capital Access and job Preservation Act, H.R. 1105 reins in the vast maze of red tape preventing small businesses from hiring Americans hurting for work. The American dream needs a jump start, and I believe the free market agenda is the perfect prescription to our current malaise.\u00a0 You can find a great compilation of pro-growth jobs bills here.\nI will continue to keep you updated on what is taking place in Washington. Please contact my office if you have any thoughts, questions, or opinions of what is taking place in our nation\u2019s capitol.\n\n\tBlessing and Liberty,\n\tJeff Duncan  \n\tMember of Congress", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["http://sanford.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/rep-sanford-issues-statement-on-cuba", "SANFORD ISSUES STATEMENT ON CUBA", "2014-12-17", "2014", "2014-12", "Republican", "House", "SC", "Mark Sanford", "S000051", "sanford.house.gov", null, null, "legacy", "WASHINGTON, DC  Today, Congressman Mark Sanford released the following statement regarding the Presidents move toward normalizing relations with Cuba.  \n\t  \n\tThough I have been a critic of many of the Presidents actions, I think it is important to give credit where credit is due. Accordingly, I am encouraged by the Presidents move today to ease restrictions for Americans wanting to travel to Cuba and the promise of efforts to begin a dialogue with the people of Cuba.\nUnlike many of his recent actions with regard to Presidential authority that I have worked hard with others to counter, this one is actually clearly within the scope of his authority as President. Furthermore, Cuba travel policy was inconsistent with our countrys founding principle of individual liberty and the freedom of movement that should come with it. In fact, with the exception of Cuba, we are allowed to travel to any country in the world. Think about that. Americans could travel to Iran, North Korea, or Syria, but not Cuba fifty miles off our coast.\nThe move toward diplomatic conversation and a United States Embassy in Cuba is both wise and a statement of the obvious, as the U.S. Interests Section in Havana has long been one of the busiest of State Department facilities in the Western Hemisphere.\nI will be introducing a bill with Democratic and Republican colleagues at the beginning of the next Congress that mirrors a similar bill Jeff Flake is advancing in the Senate. It preserves the right of Americans to travel to Cuba, regardless of who occupies the White House. This is important because actions similar to todays (to relax travel restrictions) were taken in the 1970s by President Carter and quickly removed when President Reagan took office.\nSince the 1990s, with legislation I offered then, I have been an advocate for preserving Americans constitutional rights to travel freely. This is a step in the right direction, and in that regard, I credit the President.\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://www.lgraham.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=PressRoom.PressReleases&ContentRecord_id=858b77e3-bb50-b66b-29b7-3aa53cc1aa22", "Graham, McCain Denounce Obama's Plans to Restore Relations with Cuba", "2014-12-17", "2014", "2014-12", "Republican", "House", "SC", "Lindsey Graham", "G000359", "www.lgraham.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "WASHINGTON \u2013 U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today made this statement after meeting with President Trump and other Senators to discuss trade issues, including the North American Free T...\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tRead", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://www.scott.senate.gov/media-center/press-releases/senator-tim-scott-statement-regarding-cuba-and-the-release-of-alan-gross", "Senator Tim Scott Statement Regarding Cuba and the Release of Alan Gross", "2014-12-17", "2014", "2014-12", "Republican", "House", "SC", "Tim Scott", "S001184", "www.scott.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "Wednesday | December 17, 2014\n\t\t\t Senator Tim Scott Statement Regarding Cuba and the Release of Alan Gross \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tCharleston, SC- U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) released the following statement regarding Cuba and the release of Alan Gross. \"I am certainly happy that Alan Gross has come home to his family.

I sincerely believe that voters were loud and clear that they wanted Republicans to act boldly against the President\u2019s unlawful unilateral actions. This legislation failed to stop this unconstitutional encroachment, and that is why I urged the Republican Leadership in the House to adopt defunding language for executive amnesty to the spending bill. I voted against the legislation because it did not do enough to stop the President\u2019s executive actions and honor the will of the voters.\u201d\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://www.lgraham.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=PressRoom.PressReleases&ContentRecord_id=7cb89210-d33d-8182-c773-006cfb9887d7", "Graham Pleased with South Carolina Port and Harbor Funding in Year-End Spending Bill", "2014-12-12", "2014", "2014-12", "Republican", "House", "SC", "Lindsey Graham", "G000359", "www.lgraham.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "WASHINGTON \u2013 U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today made this statement after meeting with President Trump and other Senators to discuss trade issues, including the North American Free T...\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tRead", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://www.scott.senate.gov/media-center/press-releases/sen-scott-joins-powerful-finance-committee-banking-committee", "Sen.

The newly finalized rule will allow as few as 10 days to pass between employees filing a petition to unionize and a vote occurring; currently the median time passed is 38 days.\r\n\"Today's rule issued by the NLRB is perhaps the most pro-union action taken by the current administration, which is quite a feat in itself,\" Senator Scott said. \"Ambush elections hurt the ability of employees to make a well-informed choice on joining a union, as it gives limited time to hear both sides of the debate. The rule also requires an unprecedented amount of an employee's personal information to be given to union representatives, such as personal cell phones and email addresses.\"\r\nSenator Scott continued, \"The NLRB is also now placing burdensome requirements on employers that unions do not themselves have to comply with, providing an unfair advantage to union organizers. In South Carolina we have seen the potential ramifications that come as the result of a wildly partisan NLRB, and today's rule simply reinforces the fact that the board must return to acting as the neutral arbiter it was intended to be.\"\r\nEarlier this year, Senator Scott joined Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN) to introduce the Workforce Democracy and Fairness Act, which would require 35 days to pass between the time employees file a petition to unionize and a vote is held. As a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Scott introduced legislation, the Employee Rights Act, which would require 40 days to pass. He is also a cosponsor of the National Labor Relations Board Reform Act, introduced earlier this year, which would reform the structure of the board.\r\nSenator Scott is a member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee.\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n    \n    \n\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n     \n\t\n \n\t\n    \n    \n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t  \n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t \n\t\t\n\t\t\tPrint\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tEmail\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tTweet\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t \n\t\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n\t\n    \n    \n    \n    \t\n    \t\n\t    \t  \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tNext Article", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://www.lgraham.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=PressRoom.PressReleases&ContentRecord_id=43a7cfce-e57c-f3f4-dd20-061293871ec8", "Graham Pleased with SRS Funding in Year-End Spending Bill", "2014-12-11", "2014", "2014-12", "Republican", "House", "SC", "Lindsey Graham", "G000359", "www.lgraham.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "WASHINGTON \u2013 U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today made this statement after meeting with President Trump and other Senators to discuss trade issues, including the North American Free T...\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tRead", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://www.scott.senate.gov/media-center/press-releases/coast-guard-air-facility-charleston-open-through-2015", "Coast Guard Air Facility Charleston Open Through 2015", "2014-12-11", "2014", "2014-12", "Republican", "House", "SC", "Tim Scott", "S001184", "www.scott.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "Thursday | December 11, 2014\n\t\t\t Coast Guard Air Facility Charleston Open Through 2015 \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tWASHINGTON- South Carolina's U.S. Senators Tim Scott (R-SC) andLindsey Graham (R-SC)today said the Coast Guard's Air Facility Charleston will stay open until at least January 1, 2016.

That section established a 10-year path to fully use Harbor Maintenance Tax (HMT) collections for their intended purpose, with FY15 being the first year. It would be unfortunate if Congress failed to hit the HMT target just seven months after passing this legislation with overwhelming bipartisan support. We also ask that the funding be provided only for authorized harbor maintenance.\u00a0  \u00a0  More than $1.8 billion in annual HMT revenue is being collected specifically to meet the nation\u2019s annual authorized harbor maintenance needs for harbors of all sizes. Unfortunately, annual appropriations have been significantly less than annual collections, resulting in harbors and navigation channels getting narrower and shallower due to accumulating sediment, declining dredged material disposal area capacity and deteriorating harbor structures such as breakwaters and jetties due to inadequate funding.\u00a0  \u00a0  Harbors and navigation channels are a vital part of our nation\u2019s transportation infrastructure, and the elimination or reduction in their capacity can have significant impacts on local communities and economies as well as the national economy. WRRDA 2014 recognizes the national need to increase use of HMT collections to benefit all navigation projects, high and moderate use, emerging, underserved and Great Lakes ports, along with expanded uses at donor ports. The Army Corps of Engineers has reported that nationwide authorized channel depths are available about half of the time, and then only over half of the channel\u2019s width. This drives up the cost of U.S. exports and imports, which threatens U.S. economic growth, and increases the risk of vessel groundings and associated oil spills. Many U.S. exports compete in a very price-sensitive global market where transportation inefficiencies mean losing business to other countries. It is vitally important that the WRRDA HMT commitment be met.\u00a0  \u00a0  While addressing increased funding is difficult, in part because of inadequate Administration funding requests, the United States should not miss opportunities to spur economic growth, improve our global competitiveness and create jobs. We urge you to work with the House to craft a final FY15 E&W Appropriations bill (or title within an omnibus appropriations bill) that meets the FY15 harbor maintenance spending target and allocation provisions under Sections 2101(b) and 2102, respectively, of WRRDA 2014 to maintain the nation\u2019s shipping channels, our nation\u2019s gateways to the global marketplace.\u00a0  \u00a0  Thank you for your consideration of this request.  \n\t\u00a0\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://www.scott.senate.gov/media-center/press-releases/-new-obama-ozone-regulation-proposal-bad-idea-for-families-and-businesses", "New Obama Ozone Regulation Proposal Bad Idea for Families and Businesses", "2014-11-25", "2014", "2014-11", "Republican", "House", "SC", "Tim Scott", "S001184", "www.scott.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "Tuesday | November 25, 2014\n\t\t\t  New Obama Ozone Regulation Proposal Bad Idea for Families and Businesses \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tCharleston, SC- U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), a member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, released a statement following the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) announcement to enact new job killing regulations on ozone:\r\n\"As families across the country prepared to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, today's announcement by the Obama Administration is another clear sign that they are willing to sacrifice jobs and growth in the name of unworkable environmental regulations that will hurt families and business - large and small.\r\n\"Nationally, these new regulations could cost $270 billion per year and jeopardize millions of jobs as our economy continues to recover.

In addition to poisoning the well and making it almost impossible to work together on other issues, the President\u2019s actions have created a constitutional crisis that our Founding Fathers had hoped to avoid. Presidents cannot make law on their own. Regardless of how one feels about this issue or any other, I would hope that we could all come together and agree that the precedent set by this President is dangerous.\"\n\t\"My oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States is clear. It requires me to use every power at my disposal to make sure this type of action is stopped, condemned, and prevented from ever happening again. One of the most important and effective ways Congress can stop this is by blocking funding. Federalist 58 states, \u2018This power over the purse may, in fact, be regarded as the most complete and effectual weapon with which any constitution can arm the immediate representatives of the people, for obtaining a redress of every grievance, and for carrying into effect every just and salutary measure.\u2019 It is the prerogative of Congress to deny funding to Executive proposals in which they believe are unconstitutional or damaging to the country. Presidents have frequently signed legislation that contained such funding restrictions. Democrats such as Senator Carl Levin of Michigan have reaffirmed that restricting funding is a proper role of the legislative branch by stating it \u2018(is) not bringing down the government. (It\u2019s) a fairly traditional, targeted approach to make a policy point.\"\n\n\t\"The President\u2019s actions seem to have more to do with politics than policy. The President\u2019s not considering the fact that he\u2019s hurting Americans from all walks of life who are still struggling to find jobs. The President does not seem to care that this action will make our immigration system worse by incentivizing others to come here illegally.\"\n\t\"I expect the President will threaten to veto any attempt from Congress to stop this unilateral action, and then blame Congress for acting \u2018irresponsibly\u2019 if the result is more gridlock. If the President wanted to fix our broken immigration system, he could start by securing the border and enforcing the laws already passed by Congress. But make no mistake, what the President is doing will make our immigration system worse.\"\n\t\"Congress has not only the right but the responsibility to stop this executive action. The President decided to act unilaterally on this issue and is solely responsible for the conflict that will certainly arise. We need a Commander-in Chief, not a Campaigner-in-Chief. We need a leader who puts the health and well-being of the country ahead of 2016 politics. This is a sad day for the nation, and I intend to use all of my constitutional authority to put a stop to the President\u2019s illegal behavior.\"\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://web.archive.org/web/20141206064916/http://www.scott.senate.gov/press-release/statement-senator-scott-situation-ferguson-missouri", "Statement from Senator Scott on the Situation in Ferguson, Missouri", "2014-11-24", "2014", "2014-11", "Republican", "House", "SC", "Tim Scott", "S001184", "web.archive.org", null, null, "legacy", "Charleston, SC\u00a0\u2013\u00a0U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) released the following statement in response to the grand jury's decision in the Ferguson, Missouri shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown last August:\n\u00a0\n\u201cToday\u2019s announcement by the grand jury is one among a number of federal and state investigations related to this case.\u00a0 As federal and state officials continue to examine all the facts surrounding this tragedy and the subsequent events, I encourage the public to allow a thoughtful and thorough search for justice and truth for the Brown family and the community of Ferguson.\u00a0 Each investigation and inquiry must be allowed to run its full course and do so without leaks or an attempt by one side or another to skew the public\u2019s opinion.\n\u00a0\n\u201cI encourage all people concerned about the death of Michael Brown and the events in Ferguson to channel their frustration, hurt and anger into productive, meaningful ways to build our communities, no matter where we live.\u00a0 Earlier this evening, Michael Brown\u2019s parents - Michael Brown, Sr. and\u00a0Lesley McSpadden - respectfully requested that those who seek to have their voices heard, do so peacefully and without violence.\u00a0 I stand with them in that request, because it is time to rebuild and restore the Ferguson community, and others, which have been so hurt by these events.\u00a0 I stand ready to add my voice and actions alongside those that seek to do that.\n\u00a0\n\u201cI am hopeful for more peaceful and constructive expression - whether people agree or disagree with today\u2019s outcome - because the community of Ferguson has been through enough.\u00a0 Those that seek to use the death of Michael Brown or today\u2019s grand jury decision to riot, loot or create lawlessness in any community only distract and divert attention away from important questions that remain to be answered.\u00a0\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u201cAs this long and complicated process continues, let us not forget that at its core, a family and community has lost a young man \u2013 Michael Brown.\u00a0 My thoughts and prayers are with his parents and those who loved him as they grieve their loss.\u00a0 And while I know their loss is heightened by many unanswered questions surrounding his death last August, I hope that good can come out of this tragic situation.\u201d\n\u00a0\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://web.archive.org/web/20141206064940/http://www.scott.senate.gov/press-release/senator-scott-statement-iranian-nuclear-delay", "Senator Scott Statement on Iranian Nuclear Delay", "2014-11-24", "2014", "2014-11", "Republican", "House", "SC", "Tim Scott", "S001184", "web.archive.org", null, null, "legacy", "Senator Scott Statement on Iranian Nuclear Delay               \n                  \n                    \n      \n      \n      \n                                                  \n                  \n        \n          \n    \n  \n    \n    \n    CHARLESTON, SC \u2013 Senator Tim Scott released the following statement after the Obama Administration failed again to reach an agreement with Iran on its nuclear weapons program.\u00a0 On Wednesday, November 19, Sen.

following statement regarding the resignation of Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. \"In South Carolina, our military and defense communities are a vital part of our state. They are our family, friends and neighbors. And as many of them put their lives on the line for us everyday, they deserve a strong leader as Defense Secretary.  The administration must now move quickly to nominate a qualified candidate for Secretary of Defense. The threats we currently face, be it ISIS, Iran or others, involve some of the most dangerous actors in the world. The new Secretary must be willing and able to develop a cohesive long-term strategy to combat these threats and keep our nation safe. This has not proven to be a strong point for this administration in the past, and that must change. America cannot continue to lead from behind on issues of national security at home and abroad. I want to thank Secretary Hagel for his service, and wish him the best in his future\r\nendeavors.\"\r\n###\r\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n    \n    \n\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n     \n\t\n \n\t\n    \n    \n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t  \n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t \n\t\t\n\t\t\tPrint\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tEmail\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tTweet\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t \n\t\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n\t\n    \n    \n    \n    \t\n    \t\n\t    \t  \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tNext Article", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://www.scott.senate.gov/media-center/press-releases/senator-scott-statement-on-iranian-nuclear-delay", "Senator Scott Statement on Iranian Nuclear Delay", "2014-11-24", "2014", "2014-11", "Republican", "House", "SC", "Tim Scott", "S001184", "www.scott.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "Monday | November 24, 2014\n\t\t\t Senator Scott Statement on Iranian Nuclear Delay \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tCHARLESTON, SC - Senator Tim Scott released the following statement after the Obama Administration failed again to reach an agreement with Iran on its nuclear weapons program. On Wednesday, November 19, Sen. Scott joined his Republican colleagues in aletter to President Obamaexpressing their concerns with the negotiations and the administration's apparent attempt to circumvent Congress on sanctions relief despite previous pledges to follow the law and work with Congress. \"Every time President Obama and Secretary Kerry fail to meet deadlines in Iranian nuclear negotiations, we learn of more concessions given to Iran and are less certain that a deal will end Iran's nuclear ambitions. This is absolutely unacceptable and will only make Americans less safe and endanger our friends and allies abroad. Iran is a recognized state sponsor of terror and one of the most dangerous actors in the world. The Obama administration cannot break the law and circumvent Congress\r\nto lift Iranian sanctions-the one tool that has actually proven to work in hindering Iran's quest for a nuclear weapon. President Obama's recent actions that circumvent Congress and the rule of law are extremely reckless and create greater risk and insecurity for America. President Obama needs to end his Congressional runaround and work with Congress to end Iran's nuclear threat.\"\r\n###\r\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n    \n    \n\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n     \n\t\n \n\t\n    \n    \n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t  \n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t \n\t\t\n\t\t\tPrint\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tEmail\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tTweet\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t \n\t\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n\t\n    \n    \n    \n    \t\n    \t\n\t    \t  \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tNext Article", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://www.scott.senate.gov/media-center/press-releases/statement-from-senator-scott-on-the-situation-in-ferguson-missouri", "Statement from Senator Scott on the Situation in Ferguson, Missouri", "2014-11-24", "2014", "2014-11", "Republican", "House", "SC", "Tim Scott", "S001184", "www.scott.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "Monday | November 24, 2014\n\t\t\t Statement from Senator Scott on the Situation in Ferguson, Missouri \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tCharleston, SC-U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) released the following statement in response to the grand jury's decision in the Ferguson, Missouri shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown last August:\r\n\"Today's announcement by the grand jury is one among a number of federal and state investigations related to this case. As federal and state officials continue to examine all the facts surrounding this tragedy and the subsequent events, I encourage the public to allow a thoughtful and thorough search for justice and truth for the Brown family and the community of Ferguson. Each investigation and inquiry must be allowed to run its full course and do so without leaks or an attempt by one side or another to skew the public's opinion.\r\n\"I encourage all people concerned about the death of Michael Brown and the events in Ferguson to channel their frustration, hurt and anger into productive, meaningful ways to build our communities, no matter where we live. Earlier this evening, Michael Brown's parents - Michael Brown, Sr. andLesley McSpadden - respectfully requested that those who seek to have their voices heard, do so peacefully and without violence. I stand with them in that request, because it is time to rebuild and restore the Ferguson community, and others, which have been so hurt by these events. I stand ready to add my voice and actions alongside those that seek to do that.\r\n\"I am hopeful for more peaceful and constructive expression - whether people agree or disagree with today's outcome - because the community of Ferguson has been through enough. Those that seek to use the death of Michael Brown or today's grand jury decision to riot, loot or create lawlessness in any community only distract and divert attention away from important questions that remain to be answered.\r\n\"As this long and complicated process continues, let us not forget that at its core, a family and community has lost a young man - Michael Brown. My thoughts and prayers are with his parents and those who loved him as they grieve their loss. And while I know their loss is heightened by many unanswered questions surrounding his death last August, I hope that good can come out of this tragic situation.\"\r\n###\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n    \n    \n\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n     \n\t\n \n\t\n    \n    \n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRelated Issues:\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t  \n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t \n\t\t\n\t\t\tPrint\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tEmail\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tTweet\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t \n\t\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n\t\n    \n    \n    \n    \t\n    \t\n\t    \t  \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tNext Article", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["http://sanford.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/sanford-releases-public-schedule-for-november-24th-and-november-25th", "SANFORD RELEASES PUBLIC SCHEDULE FOR NOVEMBER 24th AND NOVEMBER 25th", "2014-11-23", "2014", "2014-11", "Republican", "House", "SC", "Mark Sanford", "S000051", "sanford.house.gov", null, null, "legacy", "Contact:  Martha Morris\nMain:  202-225-3176\n\nFOR IMMEDIATERELEASE\n\nSANFORDRELEASESPUBLIC SCHEDULE FOR NOVEMBER 24thAND NOVEMBER 25th\n\nCHARLESTON, SC  Today, Representative MarkSanfordreleasedhis public schedule for November 24thand November 25th:\n\nMonday, November 24th\n\n\t\t\t\t8:30 AM\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tPancakes and Politics\n\t\t\t\tAlexs Restaurant\n\t\t\t\t120 East 5th N.

Tom Rice says everything he hears from the Army Corps of Engineers about the Georgetown port is positive and he is hoping for a decision any day about federal funds for dredging.\r\n\r\nOfficials in the Corps\u2019 Charleston District said last week they had no funds for Georgetown in their budget and they worried that dredging the harbor to a depth of 27 feet before customers are on board at the port would be a waste of state and county money.\r\n\r\nRice said Wednesday that Georgetown County voters\u2019 approval of a one-cent sales tax that designates $6 million for harbor dredging supports his case that a viable port will bring industry to his district. The state has proposed spending $18 million and the State Ports Authority $5 million to dredge at Georgetown in addition to the county\u2019s $6 million. Rice is trying to get the Corps of Engineers to pay $4 million of the project cost, estimated at $33 million two years ago. Charleston District officials said the cost to dredge the Georgetown harbor will be higher because silt continues to accumulate.\r\n\r\n\u201cThere\u2019s a little room for adjustment,\u201d Rice said of federal funding for Georgetown. \u201cI think the state and county have certainly shown their belief in the merit of the project.\u201d\r\n\r\nRice said Rep. Bill Shuster, chairman of the House Infrastructure Committee, was impressed with Georgetown\u2019s argument for funding. \u201cWe feel good about it,\u201d Rice said, \u201cbut they haven\u2019t made their decision yet. They\u2019ve gone past the time they told us it would take.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe Corps may have been working off the assumption that Congress would pass an appropriations measure by Sept. 30, a source familiar with the process said. Funding might depend on when Congress passes an appropriations bill. That could come before the present bill expires Dec. 11 or could be delayed until next year by a continuing resolution. House leadership has said it wants to pass an appropriations bill before Dec. 11, but some members of Congress want to delay until Republicans take control of the Senate. The Corps of Engineers usually presents its work plan within 45 days of approval of an appropriations bill, the source said.\r\n\r\nRice said that he sees \u201cmeritorious infrastructure\u201d is an investment rather than an expense. His top priority for his district is Interstate 73 into Myrtle Beach with the port of Georgetown second. He wouldn\u2019t talk about prospective port customers but a document he prepared for the Corps outlined the economic benefits.\r\n\r\n\u201cIt\u2019s no secret,\u201d Rice said, \u201cthat Georgetown Steel brings in ore from the Caribbean through Wilmington.\u201d ArcelorMittal says it would use the port to ship 150,000 tons of scrap, alloys and other raw materials a year. Dredging of the port is a key step in securing the long-term viability of ArcelorMittal Georgetown, the document says.\r\n\r\nThe port can also attract commodity businesses shipping wood products, petcoke, raw materials and finished products related to the steel industry, salt, aggregate, coal and other bulk and break-bulk cargo, the document said. A Coastal Carolina University study in 2010 said that every 500,000 tons annually can be expected to yield 42 new jobs, $1.3 million in new local household income and $4.4 million in total local economic output. Estimates suggest that potential new customers could generate 3 million tons in new activity at the port, the study said. With one-time dredging, the port will have the ability to generate enough new activity to receive dredging funds, the study added.\r\n\r\nMaintenance dredging is a sticking point, according to Brandan Scully, chief of navigation for the Corps of Engineers\u2019 Charleston District. He said the port needs a plan to come up with $6 million a year to maintain the harbor\u2019s depth. Southeastern ports compete for funding, he said.\r\n\r\nScully suggested that county development officials consider dredging to depths for current and potential port customers rather than returning the entire harbor to 27 feet. Present port clients include Holcim US, a cement company; the Hiller Group, supplier of aviation fuel; Metglas, a Conway company that makes brazing foils; and Diproinduca, a company that provides raw materials to the iron and steel industry by converting industrial waste and by-products into assets. Officials in Washington have never raised concerns about Georgetown\u2019s customers or the market it seeks, according to a source familiar with the process.\r\n\r\nBy Jason Lesley  \r\n\tCoastal

This action is not only detrimental to any chance in the new Congress for a sustainable, long-term solution on immigration, but also to the bedrock of our system of government\u2014 respect for the rule of law.\n\u201cWhen the executive branch acts outside of constitutional boundaries the legislative branch must use all powers afforded it to respond and restore the constitutional equilibrium.\u00a0 This is not a Republican or Democrat issue.\u00a0 Rather, it should hasten the resolve of all Americans to make certain her elected officials honor the foundational document they swore to protect and defend.\u201d \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t###\n    \n  \n  \n  \n    \n      f \n      t \n      #\n      e", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://www.scott.senate.gov/media-center/press-releases/senator-tim-scott-responds-to-president-obamas-immigration-announcement", "Senator Tim Scott Responds to President Obama's Immigration Announcement", "2014-11-19", "2014", "2014-11", "Republican", "House", "SC", "Tim Scott", "S001184", "www.scott.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "Wednesday | November 19, 2014\n\t\t\t Senator Tim Scott Responds to President Obama's Immigration Announcement \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tWashington, DC - Following President Obama's announcement this evening that he plans to take unilateral executive action on immigration, U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) issued the following statement:\r\n\"As our nation has continued to discuss how to best address the significant issues with our immigration system, time and time again, President Obama has made it clear that he did not have the authority to act unilaterally. Unfortunately, he has now decided that politics trump that fact.\r\nThis short-sighted view and these ill-advised actions will unfortunately have a host of unintended, negative consequences on an already strained immigration system. Attempting to justify his actions by harkening back to the 1986 immigration reform package is flat wrong - and ignores the fact that almost 30 years after 1986 our immigration system is more broken than ever.\r\nWhile the President has decided once again that separation of powers only matters when it is beneficial to him, I sincerely hope he will reconsider these actions as we continue to look for solutions. The process must begin with securing our borders and fixing our legal immigration system, and I stand ready to work on those issues anytime.\r\nAmerica is both a compassionate nation and a nation of laws, and to keep that balance the White House must work with Congress, not, as the old phrase goes, take their ball and go home.

Senators Tim Scott, R-S.C., Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., and Representatives Mark Sanford, R-S.C., Tom Rice, R-S.C., Kurt Schrader, D-Ore., Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., Suzanne Bonamici, D-Ore., and Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., signed the letter urging the Coast Guard to reverse its abrupt announcement from October that it would close facilities in Charleston, South Carolina and Newport, Oregon. Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., chairman of the House Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation, also signed the letter.  \"We believe that the United States Coast Guard's decision to close air facilities in Newport, Oregon and Charleston, South Carolina would needlessly endanger mariners\r\nin our respective states and we urge you to prevent the Coast Guard from doing so,\" the lawmakers wrote in the letter.  While the Coast Guard claims that it will still be able to meet the national standard of a two-hour search-and-rescue response time, the lawmakers argue that fewer assets could lengthen response times and threaten the safety of local mariners.  \"While we strongly support efforts to spend federal dollars more efficiently, we cannot support budget cuts that needlessly jeopardize the lives of our constituents. We therefore urge you to reevaluate the Coast Guard's decision and to prevent the Coast Guard from closing these air facilities,\" they wrote.  In response to previous calls from South Carolina and Oregon lawmakers, the Coast Guard announced it would delay the December 1 closure of the Charleston and Newport facilities until December 15. Charleston is one of the nation's busiest cargo ports, and is home to a robust tourism industry as well as large shrimp, crab and oyster fleets. Newport\r\nhouses National Oceanic and Atmospheric vessels and Oregon's largest commercial fishing fleet, in addition to research vessels from Oregon State University.

Their opposition to the creation of tens of thousands of jobs continues to amaze, and six years of stalling and delaying must come to an end.  While we all agree our energy policy should promote sustainable, accessible and affordable sources of energy - decision-makers too often forget the affordable piece. The fact of the matter is if your income is under $30,000, 25 percent of your income goes towards energy consumption. This is an incredible burden to place on single parents and low-income families struggling to make their ends meet.  Keystone\r\nprovides opportunity not only to address that issue in the broader topic of energy, but to specifically address issues faced by millions and millions of Americans - unemployment and energy poverty. While Senate Democrats unfortunately once again ignored these facts, I look forward to tackling this issue in the Republican majority next year.\"  Senator Scottreleased a white paper on energy povertyearlier this year with Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), who is expected to serve as Chairwoman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee beginning next year.\r\n###\r\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n    \n    \n\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n     \n\t\n \n\t\n    \n    \n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRelated Issues:\n\t\t\tEnergy\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t  \n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t \n\t\t\n\t\t\tPrint\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tEmail\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tTweet\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t \n\t\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n\t\n    \n    \n    \n    \t\n    \t\n\t    \t  \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tNext Article", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://web.archive.org/web/20141206115752/http://www.scott.senate.gov/press-release/scott-amendment-maximize-parental-choice-child-care-low-income-families-heads-white", "Scott Amendment to Maximize Parental Choice in Child Care for Low-Income Families Heads to White House for Signature", "2014-11-17", "2014", "2014-11", "Republican", "House", "SC", "Tim Scott", "S001184", "web.archive.org", null, null, "legacy", "Washington\u00a0\u2013\u00a0As part of the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act (S. 1086) passed by the U.S. Senate today, Senator Tim Scott\u2019s (R-SC) amendment to ensure parental choice in child care is headed to the White House for the President\u2019s signature.

The facility had previously been set to close on November 30.  \"Losing theAir FacilityCharleston and its search-and-rescue helicopter would have serious implications on one of our nation's critical port cities and adversely impact the safety of mariners, residents and tourists in the region. Admiral Zukunft's commitment to delay closure of this important facility until at least December 15th is positive news for the Lowcountry,\" said Senator Scott. \"With this extra time, it's my hope that the Coast Guard will look closely at the safety and economic benefits of the facility to South Carolinians and those in the region. I will continue to work closely with our Congressional\r\ndelegation and the Coast Guard to explore options that will keep theAir FacilityCharleston operational.\" \"Closing theAir FacilityCharleston will mean that the closest Coast Guard search and rescue helicopter will be almost 80 miles away,\" said Graham. \"And when it comes to rescue missions, seconds and minutes are literally the difference between life and death. I'm hopeful the extra time will allow Congress to find the necessary funds to continue operation of this critical facility.\"  Senators Scott and Graham noted Congress is set to return to work the week of November 10.\r\n###\r\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n    \n    \n\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n     \n\t\n \n\t\n    \n    \n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t  \n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t \n\t\t\n\t\t\tPrint\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tEmail\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tTweet\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t \n\t\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n\t\n    \n    \n    \n    \t\n    \t\n\t    \t  \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tNext Article", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["http://clyburn.house.gov/press-release/congressman-clyburn-announces-another-multi-million-dollar-grant-awarded-dhec", "Congressman Clyburn announces another multi-million dollar grant awarded to DHEC", "2014-10-27", "2014", "2014-10", "Democrat", "House", "SC", "James Clyburn", "C000537", "clyburn.house.gov", null, null, "legacy", "(Columbia, SC) \u2013South Carolina Congressman James E.

Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.) - 10/21/14\nRecently, we have seen a hydra of terrorist organizations wreak havoc around the world. ISIS continues to destabilize the Middle East and has ambitions to expand globally. Al Qaeda recently expanded its operations to India and had plans to attack a U.S. aircraft carrier on 9/11. Boko Haram kidnapped 50 more women in Nigeria and continues pursuing an Islamic caliphate in Africa. Only a year ago, Al Shabaab attacked Westgate Mall in Kenya, and Hezbollah attempted several assassinations around the world. Such an uptick in terrorism was reflected in an April report published by the State Department, which found terrorist attacks had increased 40 percent worldwide since 2013.\nAs the Obama administration stumbles its way toward a strategy to confront ISIS, some have suggested that the US could try to enlist help from Iran to combat this threat. Specifically, Secretary of State John Kerry said on September 19 that \u201cthere is a role for nearly every country in the world to play, including Iran.\u201d This would be a monumentally bad decision. Iran is one of the world\u2019s leading sponsors of terrorism and has directly enabled groups like Hezbollah and Al Qaeda to flourish. Additionally, it also continues its march towards nuclear weapons and its attempts to shift the balance of power in Iraq and Syria to its favor. Iran has deeply engaged in Latin America, and its presence and networks have the potential to directly threaten the U.S. homeland.\nIran has a record of terrorism in our hemisphere. Iran sponsored car bombings in Buenos Aires, Argentina of the Israeli embassy in 1992 and the AMIA Jewish community center in 1994. Iran has also plotted terrorism on American soil, such as the 2007 attempt to blow up the JFK airport in Queens, NY, and the 2011 attempted assassination of the Saudi ambassador in Washington, DC.\nTalk of coordinating with Iran on ISIS shows just how deaf this administration is from even its own commanders who have sounded alarms about Iran\u2019s presence in our neighborhood.\nIn February, U.S. Southern Commander Gen. John Kelly testified before Congress that \u201cLebanese Hezbollah has long considered [Latin America] a potential attack venue against Israeli and other Western targets.\u201d He emphasized that \u201cIran\u2019s involvement in the Western Hemisphere is a matter for concern.\u201d\nHowever, Gen. Kelly was brutally honest stating, \u201cU.S. Southern Command\u2019s limited intelligence assets may prevent full awareness of the activities of Iranian and terrorist support networks in the region.\u201d\nYet President Obama has done nothing to address this threat, and I am deeply concerned that our nation remains vulnerable.\nToday, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) published findings of an investigation to examine Iran\u2019s threat to the U.S. homeland. GAO considered whether the administration followed U.S. law, the Countering Iran in the Western Hemisphere Act (P.L. 112-220), which required an assessment of the Iranian threat to the U.S. and develop a strategy to address it.\nThis bipartisan law was the result of multiple Congressional hearings, classified briefings, and visits to Latin America. In December 2012, President Obama signed the bill into law, and in June 2013, the Administration delivered its report to Congress. The report did not say much: it found that Iran\u2019s influence in the Western hemisphere was \u201cwaning\u201d but provided little support to justify its conclusion.\nToday, GAO found that the Administration failed to follow the law as mandated by Congress. GAO found four major flaws:\nFirst, the State Department failed to reach out to all of the U.S. posts in the Western hemisphere and did not get input from key foreign partners, such as Mexico. Second, while the State Department found support for its conclusion that Iran\u2019s influence was \u201cwaning\u201d from Washington bureaucrats, it did not have the agreement of U.S. military personnel: U.S. Southern Command provided a \u201cnotable dissent from the consensus.\u201d Third, the State Department only fully addressed two of the 12 elements required by law and did not address four elements at all. Fourth, the State Department\u2019s bureaucracy prevented its strategic thinking, as its internal policy that its reports to Congress \u201cbe limited to five pages\u201d prevented a complete answer to the required elements.\nSimilarly, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) \u201cdid not report on elements for which they had no information.\u201d Instead of identifying its lack of information as intelligence gaps or offering recommendations to Congress on ways to address these gaps, ODNI chose to ignore the question.\nGAO also recommended the administration reassess its findings and provide Congress with updated information.\nThe administration\u2019s flippant attempt to follow the law is stunning to me given Iran\u2019s blatant history in the hemisphere and repeated Congressional attention to this issue. In June 2013, I held yet another hearing to examine Iran\u2019s influence in the region and further urge the administration to take this issue seriously.\nThe security of the American people and our interests in Latin America require a cohesive strategy and clear situational awareness of Iranian activity. Iran should not have the capability to direct or support terrorist activity in our own hemisphere. We must do more to connect the dots, secure our borders, and protect the U.S. homeland.\nI sincerely hope the administration will address the issues raised in today\u2019s GAO report.\nDuncan has represented South Carolina's 3rd Congressional District since 2011. He sits on the Foreign Affairs; the Natural Resources; and the Homeland Security committees, and is chairman of Homeland Security's Subcommittee on Oversight and Management Efficiency.\nhttps://thehill.com/opinion/op-ed/221322-an-invisible-iran-in-the-western-hemisphere-americas-strategic-blind-spot\nHere is a copy of the GAO Report referenced above https://www.gao.gov/assets/670/666202.pdf", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://web.archive.org/web/20141024030022/http://www.scott.senate.gov/press-release/senator-scott%E2%80%99s-statewide-veterans-job-training-initiative-kick-offs-today", "Senator Scotts Statewide Veterans Job Training Initiative Kick-Offs TODAY", "2014-10-20", "2014", "2014-10", "Republican", "House", "SC", "Tim Scott", "S001184", "web.archive.org", null, null, "legacy", "Charleston, SC \u2013 As part of Senator Tim Scott\u2019s (R-SC) recently announced Statewide Veterans Job Training Initiative, this week his office will host targeted workshops for veterans in Columbia, Myrtle Beach, Greer and North Charleston focused on how they can transfer their military skills and certifications to the civilian world.\u00a0\n\u00a0\u00a0\nAs part of Senator Scott\u2019s Veterans Job Training Initiative, his office will also host additional workshops in December and January on \u201cAvailable Educational & Entrepreneurial Resources\u201d and \u201cResume Writing and Interviewing Skills and a Hiring Manager\u2019s Panel.\u201d He also plans to host veteran job and resource fairs in early 2015.\u00a0\n\u00a0\u00a0\nTRANSFERRING MILITARY SKILLS AND CERTIFICATIONS TO THE CIVILIAN WORLD WORKSHOPS\n\u00a0\u00a0\nTODAY, Monday, October 20, 2014\u00a0\nColumbia Chamber of Commerce Boardroom\u00a0\n930 Richland Avenue\u00a0\nColumbia, SC\u00a0\n2:00pm \u2013 4:00pm\u00a0\n\u00a0\u00a0\nTuesday, October 21, 2014\u00a0\nHorry-Georgetown Tech Conference Center\u00a0\n950 Crabtree Lane\u00a0\nMyrtle Beach, SC\u00a0\n8:30am \u2013 12:00pm\u00a0\n\u00a0\u00a0\nWednesday, October 22, 2014\u00a0\nGreer City Hall\u00a0\n301 East Poinsett Street\u00a0\nGreer, SC\u00a0\n3:00pm \u2013 5:00pm \u00a0\n\u00a0\u00a0\nSaturday, October 25, 2014\u00a0\nTrident Technical College\u00a0\n7000 Rivers Avenue \u2013 Building 410 (2nd Floor)\u00a0\nNorth Charleston, SC\u00a0\n8:30am \u2013 12:00pm", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://web.archive.org/web/20141026212811/http://www.scott.senate.gov/press-release/senator-tim-scott-honored-award-manufacturing-legislative-excellence-national", "Senator Tim Scott Honored with Award for Manufacturing Legislative Excellence by the National Association of Manufacturers", "2014-10-20", "2014", "2014-10", "Republican", "House", "SC", "Tim Scott", "S001184", "web.archive.org", null, null, "legacy", "Senator Tim Scott Honored with Award for Manufacturing Legislative Excellence by the National Association of Manufacturers               \n                  \n                    \n      \n      \n      \n                                                  \n              Oct 20, 2014            Issues: Job Creation            \n                  \n        \n          \n    \n  \n    \n    \n    Washington, DC\u00a0\u2013 The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) has awarded Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) the NAM Award for Manufacturing Legislative Excellence.

economy.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0  \u00a0\u00a0  Currently, manufacturing employs more than 12 million men and women (11.7 percent of South Carolina\u2019s workforce) and contributes $2.08 trillion to the

Manufacturers \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tWashington, DC- The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) has awarded Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) the NAM Award for Manufacturing Legislative Excellence. The award is based on his votes in the 113th Congress on issues that are critical to manufacturing in the United States. NAM is the largest manufacturing association in the United States, representing small and large manufacturers in every industrial sector and in all 50 states.  \"Manufacturers in South Carolina and throughout the United States are making a comeback, creating jobs, making more products and making them better than ever before,\" said NAM Senior Vice President of Policy and Government Relations Aric Newhouse. \"However, manufacturers are often disproportionately impacted by decisions made by policymakers in Washington. The NAM is proud to stand with lawmakers like Senator Scott who understand what is at stake and seek to implement policies that will foster innovation, growth and competitiveness.\"  Key Votes included in the voting record\r\nare selected by small, mid-sized and large manufacturing executives who serve on the NAM's Key Vote Advisory Committee.  \"South Carolina is leading the nation's manufacturing renaissance and I'm proud businesses - large and small - are continuing to select South Carolina to open and expand their businesses because of our pro-business, pro-growth approach to growing our economy\" said Senator Tim Scott. \"I am pleased to receive the NAM Award for Manufacturing Legislative Excellence because it is truly a testament to our well trained workforce and commitment to workforce development and job training that lead to good paying jobs in the manufacturing industry.\"  Senator Scott continued, \"Because several key components of my SKILLS Act (S.1911) are now law, South Carolinians wanting to move into today's in demand jobs, like manufacturing, have an easier time accessing the workforce development system, an important step to ensuring our nation remains competitive in the global 21st century economy.\"  Currently,\r\nmanufacturing employs more than 12 million men and women (11.7 percent of South Carolina's workforce) and contributes $2.08 trillion to the U.S. economy annually. In 2012, South Carolina's total output from manufacturing was $28.7 billion.\r\n###\r\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n    \n    \n\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n     \n\t\n \n\t\n    \n    \n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t  \n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t \n\t\t\n\t\t\tPrint\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tEmail\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tTweet\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t \n\t\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n\t\n    \n    \n    \n    \t\n    \t\n\t    \t  \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tNext Article", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["http://jeffduncan.house.gov/press-release/duncan-urges-suspension-visas-ebola-countries-0", "Duncan Urges Suspension of Visas from Ebola Countries", "2014-10-17", "2014", "2014-10", "Republican", "House", "SC", "Jeffrey Duncan", "D000615", "jeffduncan.house.gov", null, null, "legacy", "Laurens, SC \u2013 Today, South Carolina Congressman Jeff Duncan, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Management Efficiency within the House Committee on Homeland Security, joined the Chairman of the full Committee on Homeland Security, Rep. Michael McCaul, and other Committee members calling on U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson and U.S. Department of State Secretary John Kerry to temporarily suspend travel visas for individuals traveling from areas of West Africa impacted by the Ebola virus until the outbreak is under control.\nCongressman Duncan has also previously advocated for adopting quarantine protocols for any persons traveling into the United States from West Africa.\nBelow is the text of the letter sent to Secretaries Johnson and Kerry outlining the request.\u00a0\nOctober 15, 2014\nThe Honorable Jeh Johnson  \n\tSecretary  \n\tU.S. Department of Homeland Security  \n\tNebraska Avenue Center  \n\tWashington, DC 20528\nThe Honorable John Kerry  \n\tSecretary  \n\tU.S. Department of State  \n\t2201 C Street NW  \n\tWashington, DC 20520\nDear Secretaries Johnson and Kerry,\nWe write today concerning the urgent need to contain the Ebola Virus.\u00a0While we understand significant efforts are underway to screen travelers at the point of exit leaving West Africa, as well as recently established procedures established at five ports of entry in the United States, we believe additional steps should be considered to curtail the potential spread of Ebola to the United States.\nLast week, the Committee on Homeland Security held a field hearing in Dallas, Texas, where we received testimony from Federal, State and local officials on the government\u2019s current response to the recent Ebola cases in Texas.\u00a0While we remain confident in CBP\u2019s ability to adequately screen individuals with overt signs of disease, given the virus\u2019s long incubation period of up to 21 days, individuals carrying the virus may not show symptoms when they leave West Africa or upon entry in the United States.\u00a0 As was the case with Thomas Eric Duncan, the first Ebola case in Dallas, symptoms manifested days after he arrived.\nDespite the strong public health system in the United States to combat a spread of Ebola, the most recent cases involving the two Dallas health care workers demonstrates the vulnerabilities of our system and steep learning curve public health officials are facing.\u00a0 In light of these current vulnerabilities, we urge you to consider temporarily suspending visas of individuals from Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone until the outbreak is under control.\u00a0 Such a measure would ensure healthcare workers and supplies are able to be transported to impacted areas of West Africa, while also ensuring the public health and safety of the American public.\nTaking such action to temporarily suspend some of the 13,500 visas would improve the American public\u2019s confidence of public health officials to limit the spread of Ebola to the United States, while simultaneously permitting a robust effort by the U.S. Government and global health agencies to combat this vicious disease in West Africa. Moreover, we believe that any individuals that are diagnosed with Ebola should go to one of the four hospitals (Emory University Hospital, National Institutes of Health, Nebraska Medical Center, St. Patrick Hospital in Montana) that specialize in the treatment of this disease.\nI urge your consideration of these necessary steps to prohibit the spread of this deadly virus.\u00a0 I thank you for your attention to this grave matter and wish you the best of luck as our nation faces this public health crisis.\nSincerely,\nRepresentative Michael McCaul  \n\tChairman, Committee on Homeland Security\nRepresentative Candice Miller  \n\tChairman, Subcommittee on Border and Maritime Security\nRepresentative Peter King  \n\tChairman, Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence\nRepresentative Jeff Duncan  \n\tChairman, Subcommittee on Oversight and Management Efficiency\nRepresentative Richard Hudson  \n\tChairman, Subcommittee on Transportation and Security\nRepresentative Susan Brooks  \n\tChairman, Subcommittee on Emergency Preparedness, Response, and Communications\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\n\u00a0\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://web.archive.org/web/20141019202426/http://www.scott.senate.gov:80/press-release/senator-tim-scott-we-need-temporary-travel-ban-ebola-stricken-nations", "Senator Tim Scott: We Need a Temporary Travel Ban From Ebola-Stricken Nations", "2014-10-17", "2014", "2014-10", "Republican", "House", "SC", "Tim Scott", "S001184", "web.archive.org", null, null, "legacy", "Senator Tim Scott: We Need a Temporary Travel Ban From Ebola-Stricken Nations               \n                  \n                    \n      \n      \n      \n                                                  \n                  \n        \n          \n    \n  \n    \n    \n    Charleston, SC\u00a0\u2013 U.S. Senator Tim Scott released the following statement regarding travel restrictions from Ebola-stricken nations in West Africa.

The Obama Administration has delayed the NRC's report for four years, and Congress has supported the Yucca Mountain project on a bipartisan basis.\u00a0  \"Despite politically motivated delays to the Yucca Mountain project, it is clearer than ever that this is the safest, most viable location for storing our nation's nuclear waste. We must have a long-term strategy, as this is not an issue that can be wished away.

The House Judiciary Committee has jurisdiction over the Immigration and Nationality Act, which grants the President this authority.\u00a0 In addition, Chairman Goodlatte plans to introduce a resolution calling on the President to implement a temporary travel moratorium.\nBelow is the text of the letter.\n\u201cMr. President,\n\u201cWe write regarding your solemn duty as the President of the United States to take every step possible to protect the American people from danger.\u00a0 Specifically, we urge you to use authority granted to you by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act to prohibit foreign nationals who were recently present in an Ebola-ravaged country, from entering the United States. \u00a0\u00a0\n\u201c8 U.S.C. 1182(f) states \u2018[W]henever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he deems to be appropriate.\u2019 \u00a0\n\u201cYou utilized this provision in August 2011, \u2018to restrict the international travel and to suspend the entry into the United States, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, of certain persons\u2019 who participated in serious human rights and humanitarian law violations. Preventing Americans from contracting Ebola, which the World Health Organization (WHO) notes \u2018has a death rate of up to 90%\u2019 and has already killed at least 4,484 people in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, is every bit as important as preventing human rights abusers from entering the United States.\n\u201cWhile Ebola is not transmittable until a victim develops symptoms, the WHO notes that the incubation period can be 42 days or longer and that certain methods of Ebola transmission can continue for as long as seven weeks after a patient\u2019s recovery. Therefore we urge that your use of 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) cover any foreign national who was present in a country with widespread and intense transmission of Ebola within the two months prior to desired travel to the U.S.\u00a0 Such a travel restriction can and should be temporary, with the moratorium lifted when the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, and any other countries with a subsequent outbreak, is controlled.\u00a0\n\u201cWe have listened with interest to the arguments articulated by officials within the Administration in opposition to a ban on travel from affected countries.\u00a0 Unfortunately, such arguments seem to have little, if any, merit.\u00a0 And a growing number of Americans agree.\u00a0 In fact an October 14, 2014, ABC News/Washington Post poll showed that 67% of Americans surveyed said they would support \u2018restricting entry to the United States by people who\u2019ve been in affected countries.\u2019\u00a0\n\u201cUse of 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) is not only reasonable at this point, but is prudent and necessary to help prevent additional Ebola cases in the U.S.\u00a0 It will also help begin to turn around Americans\u2019 large-scale lack of confidence that the Federal government is doing everything it can to protect them from Ebola. \u00a0\u00a0\n\u201cThank you for your immediate attention to this critical matter.\u201d\n\u00a0\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"], ["https://www.scott.senate.gov/media-center/press-releases/senator-tim-scott-statement-yucca-mountain", "Senator Tim Scott Statement: Yucca Mountain", "2014-10-16", "2014", "2014-10", "Republican", "House", "SC", "Tim Scott", "S001184", "www.scott.senate.gov", null, null, "legacy", "Thursday | October 16, 2014\n\t\t\t Senator Tim Scott Statement: Yucca Mountain \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tCharleston, SC--U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), a member of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, released the following statement regarding the report issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission today stating that Yucca Mountain is a repository for nuclearwaste that will be safe for up to one million years.
