So, Mr. President, now that the Senate is in order, let me just request that we pass this amendment to add money to IDEA, which is something we all hear about everywhere we travel in our States to provide necessary tax relief to property…
On October 16, our Nation lost one of its finest defenders of freedom, Richard Penn Kemble. The central theme of Penn Kemble's activist youth and professional life was the promotion and strengthening of democracy. In the 1970s, he served…
And a deal that has never been inflicted on any other city, State, or region in our country.
And we should owe our highest allegiance to the people who are in this country. And before we extend 100 billion more dollars in tax cuts, and before we continue to run up this deficit by funding the war and all of the other associated…
I came from a meeting where a number of business executives along the gulf coast are desperately trying to figure out what they are going to do. Entergy in New Orleans has just taken bankruptcy. They said if they have to put the costs they…
I rise today to applaud my Senate colleagues for unanimously passing legislation to protect American women from domestic violence. The Violence Against Women Act expired this past Saturday, October 1. I cosponsored the renewal of this…
We will require that the money be repaid. As Senator Landrieu has said in this Chamber: It is a little bit of a catch-22, isn't it? You say to hard-pressed sheriffs offices in parishes, to municipal governments in towns and in New Orleans…
There are a lot of other alternatives than imposing discriminatory conditions on the American people--the American people along the gulf coast.
Bring nothing home or bring something that is not going to help your hospitals, is not available to many communities because they are not going to be able to borrow it in the first place because they cannot repay it.
I am bewildered. I don't understand why we are turning the people of the gulf coast into second-class citizens. After 9/11, in addition to the normal disaster relief funds provided in the wake of that tragedy, the Federal Government…
I have never forgotten that. I am so grateful because he helped to shepherd through the Congress the money that New York needed immediately to meet its needs. I am someone who believes that in a time of natural or manmade disaster…
I would defend the president and the Congress stoutly for doing whatever it takes to honor our obligation to the victims of Katrina.
I am proud to pay tribute to Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, America's first Greek-letter organization established by black college women. On Thursday, September 22, 2005, I had the pleasure of spending time with nearly one…
this is such a happy occasion and I am delighted that so many of you who know the importance of this extraordinary artist-citizen's work could join us. I want to thank Speaker Hastert and Senator Stevens, as well as our leaders in the…
I hope we will be able to address this important matter. I believe it is essential for the people who have been directly affected along the Gulf Coast, and really for all Americans, that we have an independent commission consisting of…
in a few days, on Sunday, we will mark the fourth anniversary of September 11. I remember very well the extraordinary support, the kindness, the solidarity, the friendship shown by our colleagues toward my State. The Federal response, the…
We actually do know how to do this now and we have a lot of Americans who didn't understand the connection that we have to other countries; much more sensitive to it after 9/11. So, I'm -- I feel more optimistic about this than I ever have.
It's sweeping the world like a firestorm, killing people of all ages.
In the case of the drug companies, we didn't ask any sacrifice of them. Their current strategy then was high margin, low to modest volume.
Yes, they do. Keep in mind, this is a long way from where we were when I started this in late 2002.
It's 100 percent preventable and yet it's sweeping the world like a firestorm, killing people of all ages in its path.
I think what surprised me the most before the surgery was learning that 10 percent of people who have heart attacks past their most recent stress test.
The most obvious one was that even after I lost a lot of weight in 2001, I couldn't run more of a mile without stopping to walk.
Well, I don't have anything like the potential I have in this AIDS area, where I can move into a vacuum, organize things, bring things together and all of a sudden two years later, 110,000 people are getting the medicine who weren't…
Politicians like Bill Clinton
