The broadband tax credit is a critical component of this economic development plan, in order to get broadband to ``the last mile''--to the households, schools, businesses, local governments and many others that stand most to gain from its…
Father Mike left us one last earthly gift with Father Duffy's homily. That will long be remembered for its humanity, its love, and its humor. My husband and I first heard of Father Mike during the White House years. We kept hearing about…
I ask that the Senator from Hawaii support as much funding for bioinformatics programs as possible, within the fiscal constraints we face, as the Defense spending bill completes conference.
On behalf of not just New York--let's not look at it abstractly as just the big State and the big city that we are. I want everyone to picture the faces of those firefighters, police officers, and emergency workers, and then I want…
This Senator knows very well that the Senator from West Virginia has a grasp, an understanding of what happened, not only with respect to the attacks but also the anthrax which came to New York to our Postal Service and to our media…
The Senator has heard those cries for help and has, along with the committee, responded in our time of need, for which all of New York is grateful. It goes beyond that. As we look at these pictures, as we are reminded of the devastation…
Isn't it correct that it is likely to be late spring at the earliest before any additional money would flow to New York?
In 1975, Senator Moynihan warned his colleagues at the U.N. and the rest of the world that: "As this day will live in infamy, it behooves those who sought to avert it to declare their thoughts so that historians will know that we fought…

This reminds me of what we went through in 1981, so I went back and read the account. I wish my colleagues would recall what David Stockman said in December of 1981. He said: The reason we did it wrong . . . was that we said, Hey, we have…
I rise to support my very good friend, the Senator from California, who is one of the strongest advocates on behalf of women and children in our entire country. I do so because I find myself in agreement that there is some confusion about…
Redressing the wrongs against African-American farmers has been key to my efforts to building one America.
I want to wish President-elect Bush, Vice President-elect Cheney, their families and entire administration the very best.
For too many decades, African-American farmers have labored in America's fields without a true share of this Nation's agricultural prosperity.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your President and as Commander in Chief to our fine men and women in uniform.
My administration has worked hard to improve the condition of the black farmer and to mend the relationship between black farmers and the USDA.
As for me, I'll leave the Presidency more idealistic, more full of hope than the day I arrived, and more confident than ever that America's best days lie ahead.
We must work harder to overcome our differences, in our hearts and in our laws.
