You are watching live coverage on cspan2. Kansas. Da drl drl mr. Marshall i ask to add our amendment to the substitute amendment for the faa reauthorization bill. Kansasians elected me to fight for them in washington to fgive them a voice at the highest levels of government. I took that seriously. For that reason, i stand here today and will not fall in line to the coward operating pro procedures that block us from bringing our priorities, the priorities of the people to the floor.

Unwavering commitment to make sure that the special counsel cannot be fired, that this investigation cannot be a victim of political interference. The president has indicated that he is averse to hearing about russia or considering its threat to this country. That aversion certainly sets back his ability to defend this country against the russian threat through sanctions and other means and deterrence that will assure that russia is made to pay a price so they do not do it again.
