    Nebraskans have a long and storied connection to the Czech people. One of the most beautiful parts of the 1st district is the “Bohemian Alps." Enjoyed the conversation with PM of The Czech Republic. Thank you for your partnership with our Nebraska National Guard.

    Happy 152nd Birthday, Nebraska! On March 1, 1867, you became the first new state to join the Union after the Civil War. You remain a place where that union is deeply held and preserved.

    This is a national security issue, a humanitarian issue and a drug enforcement issue. Presidents Bush and Obama committed troops to the border and to border barriers. After listening to our military leaders, I am assured the current situation is urgent.

    I'm happy to report that observation flights over Russia by Offutt-based OC-135 aircraft have resumed, in observance of the Open Skies Treaty––one of the last remaining elements of cooperation between our two nations.
