Yes, I do. We have had before us--and more to come, I think--well-thought-out alternatives to meet the commonsense test. As I said before, we have had amendments to strip out billions in spending in the bill that will not stimulate the…

It seems to me, if we are going to have a full debate, all choices need to be considered, and the amendment offered by Senator Feingold should be considered and should be made in order. That has taken a lot of courage for him to offer such…

Basically, the decision is made by General Hayden in a letter I would be delighted to read on the floor of the Senate, except that it is classified. He goes down specifically, exactly the comments I have made in a very generic way as to…

It was given to me by my wife, it did cost under $50, and it is the color of the ever-optimistic and fighting Wild Cats of the Kansas State University, and I thought it was a pretty nice tie to go with this dark suit. Should I change that…

This was a tie, if the Senator will continue to yield, that was given to me by my wife.

As I have indicated or as has been indicated by the distinguished chairman, the subject matter before us now pertains to the jurisdiction of the Intelligence Committee. The amendment, as I understand it, of the Senator from Delaware does…

So in your zeal to hang Karl Rove--and that is what this is about--you are going to put a stake in the careers of national security professionals from here on in. During the administrative procedure by that home agency or that person's…

No. I only have 2 minutes. But perhaps on down the road. That is why I think the suggestion of the Senator from Minnesota is a good one, that we ought to go into a quorum call to try to figure out what this means. Read the language in…

I only wish all Senators would have the same caution. I thank the Senator for his personal comments in my regard. I think he has made his point. As the farmer said as he crawled through the barbed-wire fence: One more point and we will be…

It was only Senator Rockefeller and myself who were briefed by General Hayden, and that was a very good meeting. We went over virtually every intercept, as it should be. That was my point. That is what the Intelligence Committee does. It…

This amendment makes explicit what is already implicit in the McConnell-Reid substitute amendment; namely, that the Intelligence Committee will have explicit jurisdiction for the consideration and reporting of nominees for civilian…

By all appearances, the demand for sorghum in our food aid will be growing in the near future. USAID has doubled the amount of sorghum programmed in food aid over the past three years. My sorghum farmers are appreciative of this fact. I…

Currently, USDA does not distinguish between white (food grade) sorghum and yellow feed grade sorghum in our food aid programs. Unfortunately, sorghum that is used to make animal and pet food, or used to make ethanol, is being sent to…

I would like to engage my good friend and colleague Senator Bennett, the distinguished chairman of the Senate Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee, in a colloquy regarding funding for an alkaline digester for Kansas State University…

The published committee report for this legislation indicates that $225,000 has been provided for the digester. However, I understand this is typographical error and the Committee has actually provided $1 million. Is that correct?

In summing up, I support the amendment that has been introduced by the Senator from Oklahoma and would say it is a matter of resolve in the eyes of the Arab world. It is much larger than Iraq and much larger than a $10 billion loan or $5…

I am going to start off with a quote from Winston Churchill... But, I had studied the American Civil War fought out to the last desperate inch.

As chairman and vice chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence, Senator Rockefeller and I have submitted to the Senate the Report of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence of its activities during the 107th Congress from…

I ask the Senator from Arizona if he is aware, along the same vein of comments that were made by the distinguished majority leader in reference to the Vice President--I share the same concern he has mentioned--is the Senator aware when the…

This is a matter that is important to the Nation, our national security, and the great State of Kansas. I, too, would like to join with my colleagues to review the leasing issue.

If I may ask another question, I know one of the sticking points we have here with many western Members is the amendment of the Senator from Nevada regarding water. If there is one thing that causes a lot of concern out West, where we…

Yes, the committee bill, the Daschle bill. So exactly the conditions the Senator is describing, under this bill, one would not have any help. I know what happened. The Senator from Montana knows what happened. They would be back to the…

Montana has been going through some mighty bad weather. I have been to Montana with the Senator and looked at the drought conditions. My question is: If one does not have a crop, under their bill, one does not get a loan rate. And if one…

I rise this morning to warn my Senate colleagues about an urgent issue facing the Senate and this Nation. This issue has been identified many times now by various respected commissions, by leaders within the military, the academic…

I talked to a respected and veteran newspaper editorialist of the Washington Post, Bob Kaiser, just a couple days ago. He said: Pat, you have been around here quite a while. Is this possible? 50/50, will it work in the Senate? Can you…
