Protection program and businesses of all sizes have started to use the tax tools that we provided for their liquidity. But in that time the critics have also done what they do best. They criticize. The need came has seized on an opportunity to perpetuate every negative story that critics can manufacture. You can imagine my surprise when democrats criticized the net operating loss carryback provisions in the cares act. Because oddly democrats previously supported the last three bills where we expanded the net operating loss carrybacks in 2002, 2005, and even in 2009 with all democrat rule. So i dont recall in any of those instances any partisan attacks from democrats about this previously bipartisan, antirecessionary policy tools. So why now . Sadly, that irresponsibility has led our democratic colleagues in the house to pass legislation that would take back important tax tools that we have provided in the cares act to the tune of 254 billion, and thats a tax increase on the american bu
Process. He was overwhelming confirmed in the committee process. I look forward to him transitioning from him being a great attorney in our state to being a great judge, to be able to serve the people of oklahoma and of the United States on the federal bench. So im looking forward to that vote be completed. In the days ahead, we will celebrate decoration day. Decoration day was first declared locally in 1866 after the civil war. It was a day to remember those who gave their lives in battle for our country by decorating the graves and remembering their sacrifice. Now we call it memorial day. We remember all those who have given their lives for our nation. Its, unfortunately, not those who just gave their lives long past. Unfortunately, its still in the painful present. Last weekend i sat in an agonizing funeral for tec sergeant roberts, who was killed by rocket fire just two and a half months ago. He was in the process of getting others to safety when a rocket took his life. He is the f
Bottom of it so we can assure that it never ever happens again. Madam president , i yield the floor. In a few minutes this senate will vote on a nomination for john hile, serving as a District Court judge for oklahoma. We have three areas, northern district, eastern districts, western districts in oklahoma and this judge covers all three of those and moves to wherever there is the greatest need and we are in great need. This is a position weve needed for a while and im proud that john has gone through this process. He was overwhelmingly confirmed in his nomination process through committee. I expect him to have wide bipartisan support when he passes this floor in a few moments and forward to him transitioning from being a great attorney in our state to being a great judge, to be able to serve the people of oklahoma and of the United States on the federal bench. So looking forward to that vote being completed. In the days ahead, we will celebrate Decoration Day. The Decoration Day was f
Although there were problems on every mission we flew during the apollo program. If you could look at the entire report, it is a book about that thick. It is in the archives so you could get it through freedom of information. And as an appendix it lists the problems, we call them anomalies, some people call them funnies, that happened on the flights. And they listed them museum air cally by flight auditor and you ignore apollo 7 and 8, they only have one spacecraft, they didnt fly a landing aircraft. Apollo 13 had the second least number of problems of all of the flights. We almost aborted apollo 14 and apollo 16. They had pretty Serious Problems they were able to work around and allowed them to land. So that was the nature of the business. And as i said, the very theme of this movie that carried very well was the story of somebody in problem, with problems, with a challenge, challenges really to face. And showed a group of people, a team in this case of Mission Control and ourselves.
Seen this movie and i was a little worried about them making this. There were some things i might have done different out of some hidden language that gave it its pg13 rain but the one thing i thought carried very well and ron howard did a great job was to tell the basic story of people that were in trouble and we certainly were in trouble although, there were problems on every mission we flew during the program and if we can look at the entire Apollo Program report its a book about that dick, its in the archives if you can get it through information. There is an appendix that lists the problems or we call them anomalies and some people call them funnys that happened on the flights and they listed them numerically by fight order and you ignore apollo seven and eight who only had one spacecraft. Apollo 13 at the second least number of problems of all the flights. We almost aborted apollo 14 an apollo 16 in response that theyre it will to work around and had them land. That was the natur
