00:00status quo continue. Therefore, I ask that the consent be modified and the earned substitute

00:07amendment at the desk be considered and agreed to, the bill as amended be considered read a third

00:13time and passed, and that the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table.

00:20Is there objection to the modification?

00:23To object.

00:24Senator from Massachusetts.

00:25Thank you, Mr. President. I rise to oppose the substitute amendment offered by the Senator

00:31from Iowa. The SBIR and STTR programs expire at midnight tonight, separate from everything

00:40else that's going on here in the Senate today. The only bipartisan option to avoid the program

00:47ending is to pass HR 5100, as passed by the House of Representatives already. It's before

00:54us. The Republican chairman in the House have already passed it over to us. And as I said

01:00previously, we all have changes to the program we'd like to enact. And that's just going to

01:05take time. And they recognize that over in the House, the Republican chairman. We should

01:11extend these programs, which we should do on a bipartisan basis while continuing to work

01:16on a bipartisan basis to address the Senator from Iowa's concerns, along with other reforms that

01:23other Senators and House members would like to make. So I object to this amendment because it

01:28guarantees a lapse. And because it would, one, punish successful, innovative small businesses.

01:34Two, force small businesses to avoid pursuing the riskier, more cutting-edge ideas that keep American

01:42innovation at the forefront. It's the small companies that do the innovation. Big companies

01:48buy that innovation from small companies, but it's the small companies that do the innovation

01:52in our country. And prevent agencies, number three, from being able to fund technology that

01:57aids their mission if that technology comes from a successful small business. The so-called

02:03waiver included in the amendment would only result in party politics as opposed to merit-based competition.

02:09And finally, the wide-sweeping foreign due diligence changes would require agencies to

02:16forego the flexibility to determine their own risk tolerance. It would also leave the door open for

02:21agencies to deny applications on any grounds they see fit, even if it's not in statute or regulations.

02:30And to top it off, this proposal aims to dismantle the entire SBIR and STTR programs while only extending

02:38authorization for one month.

02:43...American small businesses and decades of American innovation to our foreign adversaries

02:49by allowing this program to end. So I asked my colleagues from here, I asked my colleague from Iowa

02:58to join me and the Republican chairs of both the House and Senate, of the House of Small Business and Science

03:06Committees, to pass the overwhelmingly supported extension for one year on a bipartisan basis so

03:15we can work out the differences. We should not allow this program to end. We never cap what big

03:23businesses can get from the federal government. Their tax benefits are permanent. Their ability to go to

03:29the Defense Department or other agencies with big contracts, that's never capped. And we should not be capping

03:35small businesses. So that's why we need to have the discussion, because it's critical that this program

03:41continue tomorrow. And so with that, I object.

03:49The objection for modification is heard. Is there objection to the original request?

03:53Mr. President, reserving the right to object.

03:55Senator from Iowa.

03:57Our nation cannot afford to extend another flawed program that fails to meet the innovation

04:03challenges of the 21st century. With China at our heels and wasted taxpayer dollars being funneled out

04:12the door, it's clear the status quo does not work or serve our truly small businesses.

04:23The moment for action is now, but my colleague wants to shut the door on that and continue with

04:29more of the same for another year. I'll keep working to safeguard SBIR-funded technologies from our

04:37adversaries and ensure we invest in the best and brightest small businesses so America maintains our

04:46technological advantage. However, continuing the status quo is not a solution I can support.

04:56Without my amendment, on behalf of our warfighters, our national security and our hardworking taxpayers,

05:04therefore, I object.

05:17We are listening as the Senate floor is now in session. We were hearing from Senator Joni Ernst,

05:40the Republican from Iowa, talking about the potential government shutdown right here. However,

05:46we were sharing with you some breaking news moments ago, and we now have a live look here.

05:52As we do know that joint base McGuire Dix Lakehurst has been placed on lockdown,

06:00that lockdown starting late this morning. And this is a live look right here from our Philadelphia

06:07station. And this is from their helicopter. As you can see from this aerial view, the base itself. This is

06:15what we know. According to the joint base, they shared this message on their Facebook page just about 40

06:24minutes ago saying there is a lockdown at joint base McGuire Dix Lakehurst. All personnel are on lockdown until

06:32further notice. All personnel outdoors should take cover. So I did want to stress that they are

06:40specifically asking any personnel outside to take cover beyond that, that they haven't shared officially

06:49why the base is under lockdown, why they are asking all personnel outdoors to take cover. But there

06:57is a safety concern that has risen to the level of a lockdown situation has risen to the level that all

07:06personnel outdoors are taking cover. So we did want to share that with you. We are waiting for official updates from the

07:15joint base. This is directly from the joint base McGuire Dix Lakehurst Facebook page that there is a lockdown

07:24at the base. All personnel are on lockdown until further notice and all personnel outdoors should take cover.

07:33This is in New Hanover, New Jersey. So just to give you a little bit of an idea right here, if you're

07:39familiar with the area or if you're not, this is about a 34 minute drive south of Trenton, New Jersey. So this is

07:49south of the Pennsylvania, New Jersey line. So it's very close to Philadelphia. And this is a live look from

07:59our Philadelphia helicopter right here with our Fox team there. So we did want to share that with you.

08:05These are live looks from the helicopter as all personnel outdoors has been instructed to take cover.

08:12You can see that it's a very quiet situation. Unfortunately, we saw that the live look from the

08:19helicopter has now cut out right there. But we also wanted to share this with you. This is a social media

08:26post from Governor Phil Murphy, also reiterating that there is currently a lockdown in place at joint base

08:35McGuire Dix Lakehurst. If you are on the base, he says, please follow the instructions of your commanders

08:43and emergency response officials. We do now have that live look back up. So we are going to share that with

08:51you once again as we continue to follow breaking news. As you can imagine, a very fluid situation and not much

08:58information shared at this point in time. We do know that joint base McGuire was placed under lockdown maybe

09:06about 50 minutes ago. This joint base is located in New Hanover, New Jersey. Everyone outside, all of the

09:14the personnel outdoors, they've been instructed to take cover. Beyond that, though, there has been no further

09:22official update from the joint base itself. So we are holding off on any speculation. We are giving you

09:30simply what the official details are, the information that we know and has been confirmed directly from the

09:38joint base itself. We are continuing to gather information. We're also sharing reaction as New

09:44Jersey's Governor Phil Murphy also sent out the alert itself. And so we did want to share this with you. We

09:53are continuing to gather more information as you're taking a live look from the helicopter of the joint

09:59base. Everyone who is outside has been asked to take cover. That's the instruction that they received. So

10:06you can see that no one there is outside. And that is perhaps some good news as everyone has followed

10:13those instructions. Beyond that, though, we are still waiting for information. You can see that the

10:18helicopter has zoomed in just a little bit and we do see a lot of vehicles parked here at this particular

10:26area. We haven't yet seen what is obviously emergency responders. So typically, you know,

10:35there might be flashing lights, there might be a SWAT situation, there might be

10:39a SWAT situation. We have that maybe a SWAT situation. If, it's not a SWAT market…

10:57A SWAT situation like that. We hadn't had a SWAT situation, there might be a SWAT situation.
