The Senator from Louisiana.\n  Mr. VITTER. Mr. President, also on behalf of Senator Sessions, I ask\nunanimous consent that the Committee on Finance be discharged from\nfurther consideration of H.R. 4137; that the Senate proceed to its\nimmediate consideration; that the bill be read a third time and passed;\nand that the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the\ntable.\n  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?\n  Mr. WYDEN. Reserving the right to object, Mr. President.\n  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oregon.\n  Mr. WYDEN. Mr. President, I want to be clear, as chair of the Senate\nFinance Committee, that I oppose taxpayers subsidizing illegal conduct,\nand I also oppose setting up a one-size-fits-all Federal mandate that\nis going to create redtape and confusion for our States to implement.\n  This proposal says that TANF electronic benefits cannot be used in\nany retail store which sells marijuana. This means that a TANF card\ncannot be swiped in these locations. The reality is that TANF benefits\ncan be withdrawn for cash, and cash can be spent anywhere. Yet this\nproposal does not seem to recognize that fact.\n  Of course, we here in the Senate often hear of burdensome Federal\nrules and regulations that are imposed on our States and our\nbusinesses. My view is this sounds like the epitome of needless\nbureaucracy in its current form and actually achieves nothing except\ngenerating a lot of regulatory hassle.\n  For the reasons I have stated, I object.\n  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.\n  The Senator from Massachusetts.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2014-12-16-pt1-PgS6908-3"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 10.198422009125352, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
