This is the President's proposed spending on women, infants, and children. This drops off the cliff. We propose to continue to fund it.

This offset is not designed to create hunger among children. I would point out to my colleague from Minnesota that if he were here earlier, he would have seen the drastic slashes that the President's budget proposes in the feeding program…

We are not saying, Mr. President, exactly what the outlines of this welfare reform proposal will be. The Finance Committee has previously presented welfare reform proposals. We presented and adopted in this body a measure taking $64…

I appreciate very much the interest and enthusiasm and commitment brought by the acting floor manager... we have put $5 trillion of debt on the backs of our children.

This Congress, despite news coverage and quarrelsome attacks from our opponents, has been able to change the pattern of Government spending. We just reduced discretionary spending $23 billion. Most people do not know that. We have put…

The tax increases in 1993 had the effect of costing jobs and economic growth in this country. Two economists, William Beach and Scott Hodge, at the Heritage Foundation, used the very reputable econometric model, the Washington University…

The students in this program are lawfully enrolled, they complete their course of study and they receive a liberal arts degree. I have prepared an amendment to correct this situation, but I am going to withhold introducing the amendment at…

I sent a letter to INS Commissioner Doris Meissner requesting her to advise me of the official position of the INS and any actions the agency may take to remedy the situation. Unfortunately the INS Commissioner must not have felt that the…

I would like to bring an important issue to the attention of my colleagues, INS regulations at 8 CFR sec. 214.2(f)(10) preclude practical training during the first 9-months of a full-time undergraduate student's enrollment in a…

I agree. Again, our purpose is to ensure that the concerns of small business and other small entities be fully and carefully considered by rulemaking agencies. If those concerns lead to a significant change in the regulatory proposal, the…

I believe the State of North Dakota would be eligible to receive CDBG funding under title II of this bill, provided the administration concurs with the congressional designation of the appropriation as an emergency requirement pursuant to…

It is my understanding that CDBG funds have been used for acquisition and relocation in the past and would be an allowable use of these funds under HUD guidelines for the CDBG program.

I can say to all of our friends in small businesses and small entities around the country that it is quite apparent that this measure will have an impact on the way that agencies deal with small entities and small businesses. I believe…

On behalf of the more than 600,000 small business owners of the National Federation of Independent Business, I urge all your colleagues to support S. 942, the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996. The Bond-Bumpers…

Last June, almost 2,000 delegates to the White House Conference on Small Business came to Washington to give their best advice and counsel to the President and Congress. They voted on an agenda of the top concerns of small business. The…

I traveled around my State the last couple of weeks and asked how many people believed the budget was honest if you said you would get to balance by making all the cuts in the 6th and 7th years. That is one of the best laugh lines around.

Yesterday I introduced S. 350, the Regulatory Flexibility Amendments Act of 1995, to provide for judicial enforcement under the Reg Flex Act. This bill is vitally important to America's small businesses who are suffering from the excessive…
