Once again, there were a lot of us who had some major concerns in this area. We were listened to. They heard us and they have acted. Again I hope that the Senate will support this version of the important legislation and we can get on with…
The health goals also reflect margins of safety for variability in the human population, extrapolation from animal test data to human health effects, and for the use of data that is not fully reflective of lifetime exposures. These margins…
Only some of the contaminants regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act are carcinogens. Is the Administrator permitted flexibility to set less stringent standards where other health effects are the basis for regulation?
Let us suppose that the current maximum contaminant level set at the feasible level for a particular contaminant reflects a lifetime cancer risk of 1 in 1,000,000 for a person drinking the water, would the Administrator be authorized by…
I intend to support the gift restraints, in all sincerity, as I have supported them for a long, long time. There is some kind of a difference. You can accept a gift and keep it a secret and not say anything about it. Not so with your…
Unlike Paul Harvey, the Democrats aren't telling--the rest of the story--when it comes to campaign finance reform. They keep hiding the fact that the congressional reform bills will never take effect, unless we increase taxes to pay for…
I salute the great safety record of the Federal Aviation Administration. Certainly, if you look at the record, you will see that with the diligence, the tenacity, and the determination of the dedicated air traffic controllers of the United…
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…
This table shows where the $113 billion--my friend from Iowa said $112 billion; it is $113 billion--shows that these show up on the discretionary add-ons in the President's functional totals, and they exclude defense. Defense is not on the…
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…
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…
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 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 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…
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…
It is the sense of the Senate that-- (1) The President's fiscal year 1995 budget includes a request for 11 courthouses with a total estimated cost of over $1,000,000,000; (2) while there may be significant need for new Federal courthouses…
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.
I say again that voting against this motion to table is the right vote. Those who want to cut defense can vote for the amendment of the Senator from Oregon. And there are some in this body who might think that that is an appropriate thing…
