for an interview i did with mitt romney in utah. my daughter will come with me to the fortune was proper women summit. she's huge, a star of her preschool. i'm going to be interviewed. i take them with me when i can. we have a train ride together. we go out to lunch and we get extra time. i, like any other working parent, have wrestled with the balance issue. i'm getting to the point where i am releasing myself from the guilt i felt early on. in part because someone very wise just phrased it in a way where he spoke of working very hard and knowing that glorious feeling of accomplishment. we guilt parents, particularly moms, for wanting that. all they should want to be do is be mothers. my truth is i want to do both. i love mothering my children. i love being with them. they are the greatest source of enjoyment in my life. but i also love doing my job. and i do my job and i bring that job home in a way that energizes me and the home and my children and they know mom is out there in the world doing the job -- she does, not just to pay the bills but because it integrates her and stim

officer: the senator from utah. mr. hatch: madam president, as the senator turns its focus to legislation related to the critical issue to our nation ace cybersecurity, in the light of chinese president's state visit last month, i would like to reflect on the america's -- reflect on america's security in cyberspace. as the global economy becomes increasingly dependent on the internet, the exponential increase in the number and scale of cyber attacks and cyber threfts are straining our -- she was are straining our relationship with international trading partners throughout the world. this is especially true for our important trade relationship with china. this year alone, the u.s. has experienced some of the largest cyber attacks in our nation's history, many of which are believed to have been perpetrated by the chinese. just last february, hackers breached the customer records of the health insurance company anthem blue cross/blue shield. many news sources reported that china was responsible for the attack. this cyber attack resulted in the theft of approximately 80 80 million

morning business and following my speech, for the senator from utah to be recognized, senator lee. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. isakson: mr. president, all of us know back in our home state,day today and every day there are men and women working hard to work the fields, manufacture the products, run the chambers of commerce, sell the groceries, cut the lawns and make our state and economy work. we also know as politicians serving in the united states senate, there's not a one of us that doesn't owe our community leadercommunity-- our jobsto co. back in georgia there is one person who meets that criteria. his name is woody woodsite, president of the golden chamber of commerce in brunswick, georgia. he is going to be honored for 30 consecutive years as president of that chamber. and woody is one great chamber president. he got his start in washington, d.c. working for 11 years for the congressman from georgia's coast and three years his successor lindsey thomas. he worked hard for our state, his district, he worked hard for those members of congress. but he comes back to

president, i'm obviously disappointed that an objection has been rendered from my colleague from utah, but i would say that i really appreciate his interest in making sure that we maintain our public parks and lands and this is certainly an interest that we all share together. phs mit is my hope, if we don't reauthorize this program, i know that there are some very important projects that can go forward not only in new hampshire -- because you can't do anything new unless you radio authoriz-- unless you reauthori- in new hampshire and this country. i'm disappointed there is of an objection, but i'm hoping that this is something we can overcome appeared make shiewsh that we can work together and get this reauthorized. thank you, madam president. mr. lee: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from utah. mr. lee: just again to clarify, so we've got two committees, one in the senate and one in the house looking at possibilities for reforming this program. i'm confident that we can find agreement on how this program ought to be reformed. and that is my goal. i'm going to cont

would have a chance to vote on them. it would mean that the senator from utah, who is not on the appropriations committee, would have a chance to make his points about the appropriations bill, which is a part of his job here, yet he's shut out of that. why? because democrats say we won't even let you bring them to the floor. it's an extraordinary thing to do. but despite that, mr. president, i want you to know what -- what this body has accomplished in the last seven or eight months. we have passed the keystone pipeline, the president vetoed it. we overruled the ambush elections rule from the nlrb, the president vetoed it. but listen to all the things that we got done with the cooperation of democrats on the other side of the aisle. then as i said if we could add to that the appropriations bills, we would have the most productive senate in many, many years. the trade authority law passed its law. fix no child left behind. we ended the common core mandate. we did it with 81 votes in the senate, a bipartisan bill. the highway bill, a long-term highway bill passed this body after we

from utah. mr. hatch: i ask unanimous consent that the quorum call be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. hatch: mr. president, last week i came to the floor to speak on the subject of religious liberty in america. i explained why religious liberty matters why it's important and why it deserves special protection from government interference. i also use my remarks to welcome pope francis to washington and to recognize the historic nature of his visit. i was struck by the pope's emphasis on religious liberty while he was here and by his concern for the state of religious liberty not just around the world but in the united states as well. in his address at the white house, pope francis said that many american catholics are -- quote -- "concerned that efforts to build a justice and wisely ordered society respect the right to religious liberty." and he called on all americans to -- quote -- "to be vigilant to preserve and defend religious freedom from everything that would threaten or compromise it." before congress, pope francis spoke of the delicate balance r

prudent request of the senator from utah, and i'm glad we were able to include it. 20, it adds a requirement for the d.h.s. secretary to develop a strategy to protect critical infrastructure at greatest risk. the managers' amendment adds the collins amendment number 2623, which requires d.h.s. to identify critical infrastructure entities at the greatest risk of catastrophic cybersecurity incident. this is where we have had a number of calls. and the chairman's staff and my staff are working on this. this is a voluntary bill, and we do not want any language that might be interpreted to imply that this is not a voluntary bill. so, i know senator collins very well, and i know and appreciate her knowledge of this area, and i believe we're going to be able to work this out. this amendment does not convey any new authorities to the secretary of homeland security to require that critical infrastructure owners and operators take action, nor does it mandate reporting to the federal government. its intent, which i applaud, is for the government to have a better understanding of those criti

the candidacy of oversight and government reform committee chairman jason chaffetz a utah republican has taken on a high-profile role since the start of congress and now "fox news" sunday he announced he would be challenging mccarthy's as well. chaffetz, his argument is that a party can't get the necessary 218 votes on the house floor. there are too many conservatives who don't want to vote for him and all the democrats are going to vote for their leader including nancy pelosi said he's trying to put himself forward as an alternative, if somebody can bridge divides and be a conservative alternative to mr. mccarthy and that's kind of the case he's going to be making in the days ahead. >> host: in the process of the conference meeting this thursday to make their selection, tell us about the house election for speaker. what would that look like wax. >> guest: similar to what we see, almost exactly what we see at the start of every new congress. it's something we see in january. all of the members gather on the floor. the clerk calls everyone's name individually and they stand in the ann

, mr. president, that the people of utah remain a deeply patriotic people with profound respect and admiration for our constitution. in more recent years, our leaders have continued to reaffirm the importance of religious liberty in american life. in 1948, the united states was one of the original signers of the universal declaration of human rights which proclaims that every person has a right to freedom of religion, including the right to -- quote -- "manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship or observance." four decades later, in 1990, congress passed the religious freedom restoration act, or rfra, a crucially important piece of legislation that prohibits government from substantially burdening a person's exercise of religion unless doing so is necessary to further a -- quote -- "compelling government interest." i was honored to be one of the principal authors of rfra and count its passage as one of the greatest moments of our time in this body. the bill passed the senate 97-3 and passed the house without recorded opposition, an enormous coalition of groups f

senator from utah. mr. hatch: mr. president, the previous president of the united states once wrote that if you could add one amendment to the constitution, twro -- it would prohibit the federal government from incurring more. more debt. that president's name was neither bush nor reagan but jefferson. the years since then have proven three things. the national debt crisis is growing and is dangerous and only the constitution can compel congress to tackle it. we must act before it's too late. the national debt was 19% of gross domestic product when thomas jefferson called for a balanced budget amendment. president george washington said the regular redemption of public debt was the most urgent fiscal priority. in his first report on the public credit in 1790, treasury secretary alexander hamilton warned continuously accruing national debt interest would be a signal -- quote -- "of ill faith." the commitment to fiscal balance over the next 150 years was so strong that many referred to it as our unwritten fiscal constitution. that commitment did not last. the national debt topped 40% o

. mr. president, i yield the floor. the presiding officer: the senator from utah. mr. hatch: mr. president, i rise today to speak in support of the bipartisan budget act of 2015, a legislation that passed in the house last night, and that i expect will be voted -- we will be voting on soon here in the senate. anyone who hasn't been living in a cave for the past few weeks is aware of the controversy surrounding this legislation. however, while the bill is likely no one's idea of an ideal path forward, i believe the controversy stems more from political considerations than from policy or substance. let me say one thing up front. i don't love this legislation. if we were living in the united states of orrin hatch, this bill would look very, very different. but while i may not like parts of this deal very much, there are other things that i like much less, including political brinkmanship on important matters and election year posturing on complicated issues. this budget deal, while far from perfect, will help eliminate several hurdles that must be overcome in the near term and hope
