I am very proud of the fact that today, we and the Russians are destroying the weapons of our nuclear arsenal.

We must remember to do justice to their memories.

Today we feel close to that past and to all those who stood fast when our freedom was in peril 50 years ago.

In an uncertain world, we still know we must maintain armed forces that are the best-trained, best-equipped, and best-prepared in the world.

I can't understand how some Senators could actually suggest that it's okay to use the military for nuclear terrorism but not to use them for chemical and biological terrorism.

We are simply giving law enforcement agencies who are committed to fighting terrorists for us the tools they need to succeed in the modern world.

There is no reason to delay enactment of a law that would require taggants in explosive materials.

We need the power to move our taps and surveillance as fast as the terrorist moves his base of operations.

Now as then, we know that service is our highest call.

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

I call upon all Americans to celebrate these days with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

May our children remember our cause well, and may they one day see a time when harmony fills the Earth.

I want to thank the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee for endorsing the nomination of Dr. Foster to be Surgeon General and for doing it in a bipartisan fashion.

Eleven million service members—more than 400,000 of them American—perished in that war.

We Americans retain a special bond to all of these heroes.

I still believe that the action we took was appropriate.

I think it's important that when we disagree, we do it in the right way, aggressively and forthrightly, but in the proper forum.

It would be unusual and unwarranted if this fine man were denied his day in court in the Senate.
