Isn't it too late now to change course? Some argue that even if the decision to expand NATO wasn't the most thoughtful, historically aware way to make policy, that the decision has been made and going back on it would be a disaster far…

I rise today to applaud and thank my colleagues for finally taking decisive action that will provide full funding for the International Monetary Fund while requiring strict conditions on receiving IMF assistance. In particular, I am…

the letter got lost in the mail. It never made it to President Yeltsin. It never made it to the radar crews in Russia. As a result, within minutes, Russian President Boris Yeltsin was brought a black nuclear command suitcase and for…

I have spoken to this issue before. Before I made very clear my respect and admiration for the distinguished Senator from Kentucky as a stalwart defender of something we call free speech. I want to thank him again for his stalwart efforts…

Oh, my goodness. Mr. McCONNELL. Talk about corporate involvement in the political process. Those three corporations presumably have a good deal more speech than all the rest of us.

That could conceivably cause some of the supporters of this legislation to change their minds. Because just yesterday the coauthor of the major spending bill indicated if you just took a look at the legislative agenda of those who are…

it is my privilege to submit a Senate concurrent resolution today commending the centennial celebration of college basketball played at the University of Kansas. This weekend former Jayhawk players and coaches, along with fans from all…

yesterday those who cover national security policy and issues within our Nation's press reported the best-kept nonsecret in Washington; namely, what has already been discussed or leaked or trial ballooned or decided upon and reported for…

I rise today to support--and reflect--on the Taxpayer Relief Act, which will be passed by the Senate tomorrow. I am pleased that at long last we are providing tax relief to our Nation's family farms and businesses and to many individual…

I am pleased the Senate has acted expeditiously on S. 1000, the legislation that Senator Brownback and I introduced several weeks ago to designate the Kansas City, KS, Federal Courthouse after our Kansas colleague Senator Bob Dole. I…

I have the great pleasure of introducing legislation, along with my colleague, Senator Brownback, to name the U.S. Courthouse at 500 State Avenue in Kansas City, KS, as the Robert J. Dole U.S. Courthouse. I think all of our colleagues know…

it is both an honor and a personal privilege for me to join my colleagues and rise today to pay tribute to a great Senator, a great patriot, and now the longest-serving Senator in our Nation's history, the most distinguished Senator from…

I think if I could further clarify that, of the 45 amendments there are about 6 deal breakers, if my conversation with the chairman is correct. Most of them are sense of Senate. And there are others that have been agreed to. But my basic…

I rise in support of the overall balanced budget plan and rise expressing some reservations in regard to many of the amendments that we are considering, the pending amendments; some 45 of them, as a matter of fact. If nothing else, I…

1,000 hours. I said hours and minutes; even years. This has been the third year on this particular budget plan. This is the culmination of 3 years of hard work that the Senator from New Mexico has put in, all members of the Budget…

first, the Child Care Expansion Act includes funding for a short-term, flexible grant program to encourage small businesses to work together to provide day care services for employees. This program is a demonstration project that will…

I come to this issue not only as a Member of the Senate, but also as a former newspaperman. So when we get to the freedom-of-speech issue, I have some pretty strong feelings. In saying that, I want to make it abundantly clear--very…

if the candidates in the next election in a typical race were limited to spending $5,000, who does my good friend from Kansas think would win?

I really had not thought of that proposal because it is so farfetched from democracy as we know it and participation in the election process as we know it. It could happen. It could happen. I have confidence it would not happen, but, then…

I would also ask my good friend how he would interpret the following power given to the Government. It says the Government could limit the amount of expenditures that may be made ``by''--I assume that is the candidate-- ``in support of the…

That is the incumbency, with all due respect. And second, who is going to enforce all this? We are going to need a SWAT team down at the Federal Election Commission. ... We could shut them all up. And in what way would America be better…

I, too, would like to pay tribute to our Republican leadership in this great battle, this epic battle where we try to achieve some financial stability for future generations, more especially the Senator from Utah, Senator Hatch. There were…

I rise today, as was indicated by my colleagues, Senator Thomas and Senator Grams, to speak to the Medicare Payment Equity Act of 1997. Like my colleagues have indicated, this legislation will hopefully end the longstanding unfairness that…

I truly appreciate this opportunity to speak in behalf of the balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, and in this regard I especially thank several of my colleagues: Mr. Hatch, the distinguished chairman of the Judiciary…

as a cofounder and former chairman of the Rural Health Care Coalition, I rise in support of this bill. I thank Mr. Archer, Mr. Bliley, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Goodling, and Mr. Hastert for their leadership and perseverance. Mr. Speaker, I rise in…
