Suffice it to say I still have not recovered from the shock. I find myself in one of those positions that maybe we have all found ourselves in sometimes, having some kind of a bad dream but you know it will all turn out right and you will…
I do not know for sure how to answer my friend and colleague from Nevada, except to say I do not think it would hurt the image of this place very much, in the public mind, if we would at least appear to be getting something done. That is…
Is it not true that in 1987 there existed such a thing as a very powerful and threatening Soviet Union and a Warsaw Pact that is not here today?
Certainly each and every cattle farmer is not doing well today. And no one knows that better than my friend from Montana because at one time he was a very prominent cattle person in Montana, and he knows better than anybody else the sad…
To use an example, and then I will yield the floor, if the controlling agency would declare the rattlesnake an endangered species, we in the Congress could override that under what you have in place?

I am not a member of the committee so I am not fully informed on all of these issues. I appreciate very much the explanation that is being given by my friend from Nevada. Under the system that we have always had with regard to the…

I wanted to discuss the merits of the transition act, because there are many. But instead, as I listened to the conversation on the floor this afternoon about welfare and about the eventual outcome of the program and whether or not it…
I appreciate the Senator's raising the issue of this provision. I certainly agree with her that any discussion about abortion is protected by the first amendment guarantee of free speech. I certainly agree that nothing in this title should…
To build upon what the Senator just said, I placed in the Record the other day the farm welfare program, the so-called Freedom to Farm Act. It would provide a massive amount, thousands of dollars a year, to a farmer whether or not the…
I believe the date was November 6, maybe 60 days ago. The timeframe may be a little over a month. But the Senator is absolutely correct, regardless of the date, there was a dramatic change overnight, without any explanation from the Farm…
There is nothing that has a better chance for the hope of mankind in the future than the overwhelming approval of the START II Treaty. When it is implemented, it will reduce the number of nuclear warheads both in Russia and the United…
I suggest that never before in history have we been so late in deciding what a farm program is going to be in the year that the crop is going to be planted. That has to stop. I do not know how to end this impasse that we have but the…
I ask the Senator from Montana a question: Does he believe that the people of the United States, having granted a franchise to somebody to operate a service using a piece of the frequency bandwidth, should say, ``You own it, do whatever…
