I think you would, but part of the new process would have to be different rules for how we resolve disputes.

I come from South Dakota where we fight the pine beetle epidemic that is going on in the Black Hills.

my concern is that with saying that the Forest Service and the Administration has no recommendations for changes to ESA, that we are saying that the route that we are going down is appropriate.

Mr. President, I rise in strong opposition to amendment No. 340. The amendment is another attempt to block Wall Street reform. This amendment would slow down rulemaking and invite Wall Street to bring lawsuits against their financial…

Mr. President, this amendment will create a deficit- neutral reserve fund to completely--completely--eliminate the Federal estate tax burden that is facing America's family farmers and small businesses. There are lots of reasons to support…

Mr. President, I yield back our time so our colleagues have an opportunity to use the term ``balanced'' a few more times before this debate concludes. I yield the floor. Children's Budget

That may be an incomplete count, but nevertheless the Senator and his staff counted 191 times where the word ``balanced'' has been used. As the Senator from Alabama very fittingly pointed out, there is nothing balanced about this budget…

Mr. President, I appreciate the effort being made by the Senator from Virginia. He is moving in the right direction. We do need to get rid of this once and for all. I would be happy to accept his amendment by voice if he would be willing…

If I might, I thank the distinguished ranking member of the Budget Committee for yielding, and I will pose a question to the Senator, if I might. I heard Senator Sessions say earlier and put up a chart which suggested that the term…

Madam President, I rise today along with my colleague from Missouri, Senator Blunt, to offer a couple of amendments that have been filed and that I hope we get an opportunity to vote on before this process concludes. If you look at the…

Madam President, I thank my colleague from Missouri. He has a great deal of experience. As he said, we worked together on these issues for a long time. We both recognize the importance of economic growth. We see a budget put before us by…

Mr. President, the House Republican budget does something the Democratic budget does not do--it balances. It actually balances in 10 years, and it does it not by taxing more but by spending less, spending at a slower rate--3.4 percent over…

Mr. President, I thank the Senator from Alabama for his eloquence in laying out what is at stake in this budget debate we are having and for also pointing out, once again, that the budget before us in the Senate doesn't balance. In a way…

Mr. President, we have among the many people who serve in the Senate some people who have balanced budgets and done it---- The PRESIDING OFFICER. Who yields time to the Senator from South Dakota? The Senator from Alabama?

We have among the Senators who serve in the Senate people who have balanced budgets and done it the old-fashioned way, the hard way, one of whom is the former Governor of the State of Nebraska, now Senator, Mike Johanns. Senator Johanns…

Mr. President, the Senator from Nebraska could not have put it better. He has great experience with budgets and the people of Nebraska, who are similar to the people I represent in South Dakota. Someone else who is also from a very similar…

Mr. President, I thank the Senator from North Dakota. I think he put it absolutely right in terms of what the priorities should be and what the stakes are in the budget debate. I thank him for his leadership on this issue. I want to close…

So if they are deployed then they are under the supervision of their commanding officer?
