the lack of interest in a budget resolution this year, it is fair to say, indicates that not very much is happening. I can assure my colleagues, the media was not very interested in the markup during the 2 days we were in session. Also…

I introduce the Safe Drinking Water Amendments of 1994. This Senator is clearly on the record in support of protecting safe drinking water as one of the keys to a high quality of life in a developed nation like the United States. However…

I merely ask the Secretary, what is going on? Are we Members of the Congress? Can only a very few Members comment on this rule in private, as is implied in this memo? "After you meet, maybe the rule will be changed," this memo says, "in…

Frankly, I believe the subject matter of the Nickles amendment belongs on this bill. I do not know, maybe it could not have been put there because of jurisdictional issues. As the distinguished Senator, Senator Hollings, produced this…

The Senator mentioned that under the Simon-Craig amendment, this Brooklyn Bridge could be off budget, too. In 1982, when this balanced budget was working its way through, it did not have the debt limit on it yet. We did that afterward. But…

I believe it clarifies that if we get into a bind and gridlock up here as we seek the implementing legislation, that during that gridlock, if it occurs, we do not have the courts of America deciding how to balance the budget of the United…

The Department has already held back $42 million that the law said should have been transferred to the Corporation. I remain very concerned that as soon as we approve this rescission, the Department will take a second $42 million from the…

I rise to compliment the distinguished Chairman of the Appropriations Committee for some language he put in this bill relative to disaster relief. After the floods in the Midwestern United States and before the last catastrophe and…

I favor reforms to the educational system that will make a significant difference in the delivery of educational services to our students. Period. I do not want to create just another expensive block grant program which does nothing more…
