senator reid. mr. reid: thank you very much. you indicated in your statement that the united states has not given up military options with respect to the iranians. it has also not given up any military intelligence or national intelligence with respect to iran. those intelligence operations, i would presume, would be focused in great detail on potential violations of this treaty. is that your sense? >> yes, without going into detail here, it certainly is that we have intelligence activity focused on the uranium nuclear program. but on everything else they are doing. malign activity, cuts force ballistic missiles, arms transfers, the whole thing. it's a very important intelligence effort. mr. reid: i understand that general coffee indicated that he is confident, i think is a reasonable explanation, of the intelligence community's ability to detect any significant violation of the treaties with or without direct contact with iaea. is that a fair judgment in your mind? >> yes cia director: the -- the cia director and others all mad

mr. reid: mr. president, i look forward to that discussion -- the presiding officer: the democratic leader. mr. reid: keep in mind, being reported out of committee, this is a committee that holds everything in secret. they do nothing secret. so having a 14-1 vote in a meeting that takes place in secret doesn't really give the other senators o not on that committee a lot of solace. so i look forward to the republican leader and me and our staffs working together to try to come up with some way to move forward on this legislation. we want to do that. mr. mcconnell: mr. president? the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. mcconnell: as my good friend, the democratic leader, used to always remind me, the majority leader always gets the last word. this is not a new issue. it was around during the previous congress. other committees acted. other committee chairmen like what chairman burr and vice chair feinstein have done. hopefully we can minimize sort of manufacturing problems here that keep us f

mr. reid: mr. president? the presiding officer: the democratic is recognized. mr. reid: the iranian -- pardon me, i got hung up on thinking about russ leaving. mr. president, the iran accord is the result of many years of hard work by lots of people. congressional committees are conductings hearings to listen to the administration's case, and others. fofor example, this evening, inn all-senators classified briefing, at that meeting we'll hear from dr. moniz, the secretary of energy, a man eminently qualified as a scientist, m.i.t. physics professor who is really actually world-famous for his scientific prowess, and wendy sherman, one of mechanic's truly great -- america's truly great diplomats. we've yet to see the language of the legislative response to the accord that's been negotiated. i know that senator corker and senator cornyn are working on it, but it is not out yet. it is incumbent on congress to review this agreement, with a thoughtful, level-headed process. an agreement of this magnitude deserves it. now let's hopefully remember that we all agree, now th

mr. reid: mr. president? the presiding officer: the democratic leader. mr. reid: i agree with the republican leader, we should work to come up with a way of proceeding in a dignified manner to this most important piece of legislation, and certainly i will lend my efforts to try to get that done. easier said than done. the feelings on both sides of the aisle on this issue and other issues. mr. president, yesterday president obama took a very important step in addressing climate change and promoting clean energy. his clean power plan is the strongest action ever taken by our government to fight climate change. the clean power plan will reduce the dangerous amounts of carbon pollution being dumped into the atmosphere. by reducing pollution, the clean power plan will yield significant public health benefits for our entire nation. carbon pollution has many devastating effects on our environment, as well as the health and well-being of all of us. sadly, solution of burning fossil fuels disproportionately affects low-income people and families of color. exposure to

i guess i will start with mr. reid -- mr. reed. >> thank you for your introduction. it's a valuable thing to figure out how we move forward to we are all americans here. one of the things to realize from my numbers is just how much our opportunities are overseas. when the issues you raise about u.s. government access to that data start harming our sales, it hurts jobs in the united states. you're precisely right this is an issue congress has to step in on. the question of geolocation is something we will have to work both with you and law enforcement has law enforcement does have a duty to work and protect the citizenry. the problem comes when i have to tell a customer i don't know about the answer to the question of when i have to hand over that information. the difference between the six circuit and the ninth circuit and this idea that i have to tell my customer i don't know is enormous. i think the other element that should be raised on this is how other countries look at what is happening. if the united states government says, we have access to any cloud data at

mr. reid: mr. president, i would suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from nebraska. mrs. fischer: mr. president i rise today -- the presiding officer: the senate is in a quorum call. mrs. fischer: i would ask that the quorum call be vitiated, please. the presiding officer: without objection. mrs. fischer: mr. president, i rise today to discuss federal funding for planned parenthood. every now and then we see something that is so horrific that we must answer it. and by now we are all familiar with the deeply disturbing videos of planned parenthood doctors cavalierly discussing their practice and methods of harvesting baby body parts. like so many nebraskans, i'm shocked by the lack of compassion for these women and their unborn babies. my colleague and friend from ii, senator joni ernst has introduced legislation that takes immediate action and cuts off funding for this scandal-plagued organization. i'm proud to join her in spon

dave: the democrat mr. harry reid, the senator from nevada back then. should republicans get heat for thinking of the same right now? democratic strategist david mercer and teachparty.net it is hard to take those things back. beware of youtube, harry reid. >> harry reid isn't running for president for one, he is retiring next year. and we are talking about the presidential candidates. dave: you went from 1 to 3. >> 1 he is not running for president 2 he is retiring next year. 40, not he has changed that position. 4, he is not running for president -- dave: we don't have much time. the fact is that is out there, democrats have said not only similar things to donald trump but with an even nastier sort of demeanor. trump at least that i am sympathetic to these people and we will try to work out a deal for them but they got to go back home, not so harry reid. they got to go back, that is it. >> donald trump is a man of action and right or wrong on different things that he said he has forced us to debate issues in a non politically correct fashion that need

so here we have the three most powerful democrats in the nation, mr. obama, employee circle and reid all saying varying things that make no sense at all. now, the unintended consequences. president obama likes to point to a 16-nation coalition who has report lid signed up to confront isis. outside of taking up a few bojing missions, there's little sign. maybe germany, italy have noticed the millions of people the middle east. many of them fleeing terrorism. much generated by isis. as thousands drown in the mediterranean sea, the leaders of the european union fiddle imitating nero too corrupt or incompetent to do anything. the world is changing. the jihad is advancing yet the 60-nation coalition is as impotent as any group. there isn't enough viagra in the world. as american power reseeds abroad tyrants like vladimir putin take advantage. this is an example of president obama's weak foreign policy. john kerry promised putin sanctions would be lifted if he promised to stop seizing more territory. that must have delighted vlad the invader as he saw the us

n's0 and, they built mr. bry ing'sand they built ed k systemd they put in this and things were growing very fast. >> within a few months, they bryan a trade and reid was the president of that. within another month, they had the town meeting where they all agreed that they would collect, andnd within another couple of months that had all happened. and by the middle of 1911, fort lauderdale was officially incorporated as a town. then order to have beautiful city that we have today, fort lauderdale, it is important to recognize the pioneers in this area. -- ate look at gentlemen philemon bryan and henry flagler, people want to read -- preserve that history. >> what i feel is, that was what created fort lauderdale. here that a precedent i believe still has impact, which is very responsible local government. also, it is a local government that is very focused on business . all of these people were businessmen and they were setting up a circumstance that would help their businesses. >> as a gateway for both interna

mr. reid: mr. president? the presiding officer: the democratic leader. mr. reid: i would imagine we would alternate republican and determined amendments? is that right? mr. mcconnell: that's right. mr. reid: i would ask it be modified to allow 11 democratic amendments instead of 10. the presiding officer: is there objection? without objection. mr. reid: it would be carper 2627 coons 2552, franken 2612 leahy 2587, murphy 2589 whitehouse 2626, wyden 2621 wyden 2622, carper 2615. mr. mcconnell: i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: mr. mcconnell: mr. president? the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. mcconnell: i ask consent that further reading of the quorum call be dispensed with. officer without objection. mr. mcconnell: i ask consent that following leader remarks on tuesday september 8 the senate proceed to the consideration of h.j. res. 61 and that the majority leader or his designee be recognized to offer a substitute amendment related to coppingal disapproval of the proposed iran nucl

women deserve better, and our mr. reid: here's an excerpt from the article in the republican leader's hometown newspaper, the louisville courier journal. i quote. "sarah hall started going to planned parenthood when she was in her late teens and needed birth control. she had gotten her care there ever since. without them, i wouldn't have to doctor to see. i don't know where i would have gone. it would have meant i couldn't get the care i need." close quote. like sarah millions -- millions of american women depend on planned parenthood for much-needed health services. every year planned parenthood helps women just like sarah with important services they need, such as birth control measures. but it's more than just birth control. here are can just a few -- just a few of the health services that planned parenthood provides to american women and they did it for example in 20136789 half a million women went to planned parenthood for breast cancer screening. 400,000 women receive cervical exam from planned parenthood's medi
