Recognizing the 1960 University of Missouri Tigers Football Team

The Senate considered a resolution recognizing the 1960 University of Missouri football team, which went undefeated, won the Big Eight, and won the Orange Bowl. Senator Schmitt introduced the tribute and praised the team’s record. Much of the floor time was spent on other matters: Senator Booker asked for passage of a bill he called the Delaney Hall Closure Act, which would shut down an immigration detention facility in New Jersey, saying people there had died after being denied medical care; Schmitt reserved the right to object, saying the bill would close the facility rather than fix it and that the answer was more medical staff and funding. Senators Coons and Murkowski also spoke about ALS and a bill to renew a program funding ALS research and letting patients access experimental treatments, urging quick signature into law, and Senator Schiff paid tribute to a retiring staff member.Written by AI from the debate.
