We are trapped in a death spiral. I do not think one could make it any more plain than that. We are trapped in a death spiral. The requirement to maintain our aging equipment is costing us more each year in repair costs, down time, and…

I commend his remarks to all Senators and more especially all staff in both the House and Senate. It captures that special relationship--the analogy might be--my boss, right or wrong--my boss. In the case of Herb Bateman and Dave Scandling…

Let's try principle No. 4. We are the only global superpower, and in order to avoid stimulating the creation of a hostile coalition of other nations, the United States should, and can afford to, forego unilateralist actions, except where…

I see our future prosperity in the Americas, not in the Far East. . . . Forty-six percent of our exports flow within the Americas, 28 percent to the Far East and 26 percent to Europe. I see the balance shifting even more to the Americas…

Our health care providers spend an awful lot of time traveling from one patient's home to another. What happens is that the first patient may be located many miles away from the next patient. It requires the home health care nurse to work…

Emotional status? I see that patients must answer questions about their feelings. Have they ever been depressed? Have they ever had trouble sleeping? Have they ever attempted suicide? In some cases, that might be necessary, but do we…

Not only do I think this would be a very dramatic step backwards for us in terms of the public's perception of integrity of its Government, but I think it would be terribly unfair to the most conscientious Judges and Justices. Because a…

A major purpose of this bill is to make crop insurance more available to our Nation's farmers. I understand the importance of the provision you cite to farmers in your State and will work hard to see that is retained.

And is it true that fisheries managers can accurately predict how much fish can be caught from year-to-year?

This legislation also establishes monetary penalties. If we are worried about fraud and abuse, we have penalties up to $10,000 and potential disbarment from the program and all USDA programs for any producer, any agent, any loss adjuster…

I am very concerned about overextending our military commitments without sufficient resources to handle the additional tasks we might assume. Enlarging NATO should be a step by step deliberate process that should not be circumvented in any…

What would happen if we added a new section to the second-degree amendment that is pending at the desk, stating something like this: ``The President may retain or impose sanctions covered by this bill, sections (B) and (C), if he…

In closing, I am reminded of an old Mills Brothers' tune--that really dates me--and it was, ``I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire.'' I want to make it clear, I don't want to set the tobacco bill on fire; I just want to light a flame in…

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.

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…

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?

H.R. 2854 requires that the Secretary of Agriculture, within 45 days of enactment, offer market transition contracts available to eligible producers. These contracts must not be further delayed, or they will not be effective for the 1996…

Obviously the rules implementing the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act will have a large economic impact on the agricultural community and farmers. I ask the distinguished chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary, if the…

I think it is time that the House of Representatives rise and a thank you and a tribute to Kika de la Garza.

This subparagraph is intended to urge the NASA Administrator to provide to the Secretary of Agriculture remote sensing data or interpretative tools that it develops under its normal activities, if and when such data and tools may be…

Well, the gentleman is absolutely correct. The intention of this subparagraph is for the NASA Administrator and the Secretary of Agriculture to help the commercial remote sensing industry better meet the needs of the agricultural community…

There are excellent capabilities within NASA and the private sector to use remote sensing data for crop forecasting, precision agriculture, and projecting food yield. We do want to find innovative ways of bringing these capabilities to the…

I call it historic because the Committees on Agriculture have produced a farm bill that represent a major departure from the past and a bold plan in regard to the future. The Senate has passed the similar conference report 74 to 26, and…

We will try very hard to address the gentleman's concerns in regards to the previous amendment that he described that he has withdrawn. It is my understanding that the gentleman has or is going to offer his traditional buy American…
