I think we are all very troubled with the situation in Bosnia, and troubled we should be. But I do not believe a feel-good amendment, like the one offered by Senators Dole, Lieberman, Mack, Lugar, McCain, Levin, Feingold, Hatch, Dorgan and…

Mr. Kerrey's proposal, the Youth Violence Prevention Block Grant, was adopted in the crime bill the other body passed last fall. I would like to encourage this body to ensure that Youth Violence Block Grant is included in the final crime…

The most interesting part of all of these headlines is ``Domenici Backs Clinton Budget Plan.'' Well, that is a first, I think the record will show, for the ranking Republican on the Budget Committee. Certainly, he has a right to his views…

In fact, it would be extraordinary if he did not retire in the fourth grade. In the last 5 years, there have been 206 individuals in the third or fourth star grades of admirals and generals to retire; 200 of the 206-- all but 6--retired on…

I simply say to you, Mr. President, that if you do not know Frank Kelso well, then you have missed meeting one of the finest men or women that I think has ever served in the U.S. Navy. We have had him on numerous occasions before the…

Mr. President, the Senate has now before it President Clinton's nomination of Adm. Frank B. Kelso II, U.S. Navy, to retire in grade as a four-star admiral. That nomination was reported favorably by the Armed Services Committee by a vote of…

I rise to strongly urge passage of this comprehensive crime bill as soon as possible. Violence is on the rise across this country and the battle against it will take nothing short of a historic response from this Congress. Imagine, if my…

I have maintained that United States Forces should not be committed to Bosnia, unless there is a mission with clear goals and objectives. Over the past few weeks, United States military involvement has escalated, to the point that United…

the Senator from Maine laid the case out very well. If it would have been judged nongermane, it would be prudent and important that it be heard. I appreciate the offer of the distinguished Senator from Tennessee, as I understand, to hold…

I emphasize once again that the Domenici amendment is a killer amendment with regard to the modest deficit reduction proposal that was supported in the Budget Committee. I simply say, once again, that I think the points have been made by…

I am astonished when I listen to some of the remarks that are being made on the Senate floor today on the Domenici amendment. The Domenici amendment is a killer amendment with regard to the modest deficit reduction proposals adopted in the…

I would simply say that I would think that the bill that we would come back with probably would raise the budget deficit, which I believe the Senator from Virginia would not like to see. I would like to try to establish once again the…

First of all, Exon-Grassley cuts need to be preserved at all costs. I have heard some say that it is a too large a cut. I have heard some say it is too small a cut. The fact of the matter is what this does is it sends a signal to the…

I will simply say that the Senator from Indiana is, therefore, saying that the Appropriations Committee is antidefense, the Appropriations Committee will not take a stand for what is right to properly apportion it--make appropriations in a…

I am pleased to file an amendment to the Marine Mammal Protection Act to improve the administration of the act as it relates to zoos, aquariums, and scientific research institutions. This amendment has broad bipartisan support from all…

I rise in support of S. 4, the National Competitiveness Act of 1994. I am proud to be a co-sponsor of this vitally important bill, which will renew our manufacturing base, promote American competitiveness in the global marketplace, and…

There are no guarantees under this amendment for DARE. As a matter of fact, this is an additional $100 million to be appropriated in addition to the $361 million. There is no guarantee of their funds.

what the amendment really does, Mr. Chairman, and I have not had an opportunity to speak; I have spoken earlier, but I have not had an opportunity speak directly to the Owens-Ford amendment, and I simply want to briefly say that what the…
