And i encourage my colleagues to vote no on his nomination to serve as e. P. A. s assistant administrator for air, and i reserve the balance of my time. Now, mr.

Georgia, john hoeven of north dakota, and tom tillis of North Carolina. This is about 35 minutes. , mr. President , this week this coming week will mark veterans day. It is an important time for us to reflect on what veterans do for us and what their families do for us, the sacrifices that both those who served and those who support those who serve is incredibly important. We have half a million missouri veterans and one of the great privileges of this job is to get to represent them, and the values and commitment to freedom in our country that they stand for. Just a couple of weeks ago, i had the opportunity to welcome a group of southwest missouri veterans who came to washington with the honor flight program.

In january, the Intelligence Community unanimously said that the russians through their Intelligence Services tried to interfere in the 2016 american president ial election, that it was the russians who hacked podestas emails, it was the russians who broke into the Democratic National committee and was russians who helped empower wikileaks. No evidence that the russians changed voting tallies, how people were influenced by what happened, only they know and god knows, but i think every american should be concerned about what the russians did. From my point of view, theres no doubt in my mind it was the russians involved in all the things i just described. Not some 400 pound guy sitting on a bed or any other country.
