I am today introducing a sense-of-the- Senate resolution which calls upon the Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee to recommend to the Postmaster General, Marvin Runyon, that a postage stamp be issued honoring the late college football coach…

at the tender age of 23, Lt. Clyde Adair Tucker, Jr., paid the ultimate price for the cause of freedom when he was killed during Operation Leader on October 4, 1943. On that fateful day, his plane was shot down off the coast of Bodo…

Richard Nixon's political legacy is mixed. His resignation because of the Watergate scandal will probably always be the aspect of his career that most people will remember the most. But it would be unfair to define this extraordinary…

I rise today to pay tribute to Tofe Bolus, a constituent whose recent death saddened those who were fortunate enough to have known him over the years. Tofe was the son of Lebanese immigrants who came here earlier this century. Like most…

Well, it has been going on about two Congresses, I would say. The Senate passed it before, unanimously, 97 to zero. We passed the conference report. The House failed to pass the conference report in the last session of the last Congress…

I want to spend a moment to comment on Senator Reid's amendment to section 109 to bar refiling of any chapter 13 within 3 years. Most chapter 13 plans now only last 3 years. A 3-year bar would harshly single out chapter 13 for treatment…

The Committee's decision to increase the time period to 20 days was proposed to conform bankruptcy law practices to most State's practices. I would like to clarify just one point with the Senator from Tennessee, however. That is that while…

I believe that the services that are provided by independent sales representatives of this country are equally as important to the survival of a company as is the work performed by the employees at the factories of those companies. It is…

the manager's amendment also includes a provision passed by the Senate last Congress to rectify a serious inequity in the current retirement system for Federal judges. This provision was included in S. 1673, and passed as part of S. 1569…

this is a managers' amendment by which we try to make a lot of technical changes. There are some issue changes that have come to the attention of the Subcommittee on Courts after the markup of the bill by the Judiciary Committee. The…

I would like to proceed with this bill and get this bill moving. There are a number of amendments that we have that have been cleared by both sides, the Democratic amendments, Republican amendments, and all of this. I am afraid we are…

First, let me point out that under current Federal law a trustee may not avoid a transfer that creates a purchase money security interest in property acquired by a debtor that is perfected on or before 10 days of the debtor receiving…

over the decades since enactment of the last major reform of the Bankruptcy Code, the monetary and financial landscape faced by both businesses and consumers has changed. As financial institutions have expanded to become more interstate in…

let me first congratulate the distinguished Senator from Missouri [Mr. Danforth] for approaching this sense-of-the-Senate resolution from an overall situation of asking when are we going to stop beating ourselves to death pertaining to…

Mr. President companies faced with extensive asbestos or other mass tort liability have a limited range of alternatives. Some defendant companies choose to litigate claims individually. Other parties have sought resolution of their present…

I am sympathetic to the issue that the distinguished Senator from Alaska has raised. Many financial institutions in my State have expressed concern about these reporting requirements. And the Senator is correct that in nearly all consumer…

I think this is an excellent amendment. This amendment is designed to make clear that it is not the intention of Congress that a debtor be absolved of his obligations to continued payment of his share of common expenses due to his…

I agree with the Senator. This amendment has passed the Senate twice. It is really unrelated to bankruptcy. But the fact is that it has passed the Senate twice, and has not passed the House. I say to the distinguished Senator from Nevada…

I think this is a well-intended amendment, but as the distinguished Senator from Iowa said, it is a cannon to kill a gnat. As I recall, in physics--I believe it was Newton--that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. I…

On this point, I wonder whether the Senator from Tennessee could cite any Federal court decisions as persuasive authority on this matter.

I will vote to confirm the nomination of Florida Chief Justice Rosemary Barkett for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Having reviewed Justice Barkett's overall record--I emphasize ``overall record''--as well as…

Alabama will lose one of its most distinguished jurists next January when Montgomery Circuit Judge Joseph Phelps steps aside. He has served as a circuit judge in Montgomery County since 1976, and has earned a reputation over the years as…

I am pleased to rise today in recognition of Greek Independence Day, which will be celebrated March 25, 1994. This is a special day set aside to reflect upon not only the liberation of Greece from the Ottoman Empire, but also the unique…

higher education in the State of Alabama lost one of its greatest supporters on March 3 when former Alabama State University president Levi Watkins, Sr., died at the age of 83. He served at the helm of Alabama State from 1962 until 1981, a…

on January 26, 1993, I paid tribute to E. Hamilton ``Ham'' Wilson, who at that time had just retired from his long-time position as government affairs director at Alabama's Auburn University. Prior to that, he had been chief executive…
