Dale Bumpers

Tell me precisely, because I want to make sure she does not get handcuffs put on her. Why is she exempt?

I would say, Mr. President, that the Bumpers amendment is clearly the direction at this point in which we ought to go. I think it is going to be an administrative nightmare for the Ethics Committee and a complete disaster for every Senate…

In any event, it is appropriate that the Senate should consider this nomination today because this week is U.S. Small Business Week, as proclaimed by President Clinton. Hundreds of small business owners are in Washington even as we speak…

I rise in support of S. 540, the Bankruptcy Reform bill, and ask that the following remarks pertaining to section 208 of the bill be included in the Record. A few years ago, some failing SBIC's discovered they could thwart the Small…

As I have said, and this sounds a little self-serving, but I say it again, in the 19-plus years I have been in the Senate, that is the only time, about 9 o'clock that evening, on the Manassas battlefield bill that Senators have actually…

I, first of all, express my sincere admiration and respect to the distinguished Senator from Virginia for having labored in the vineyards for a very long time in an effort to get the Shenandoah Valley battlefields the national designation…

as you know, I share my colleagues' strong commitment to substantially improving the immunization rates for the Nation's children and have sought to provide leadership in this effort. Today's approval of the provisions of S. 732, the…

I think I would be remiss if I did not spend a minute to laud my distinguished colleague from Utah, Senator Bennett. He came here last year and, I think in perhaps the shortest period of time I have ever seen, has established his…

I am pleased to rise in support of S. 4, the National Competitiveness Act of 1994. Among other things, S. 4 creates a Civilian Technology Investment Company [CTIC] program aimed at fostering the development of critical technologies by…

I do not intend to vote for the Simon resolution. I did not vote for the so-called balanced budget amendment in 1986. Mr. President, everything I have to say has probably been said dozens of times in the Chamber in the last week, but I did…

I want to ask the Senator, No. 1, if the Senators in this body do not have the courage to cut spending and balance the budget now, and you put this in the Constitution, and there is absolutely nothing and no way to enforce it, because you…

there were 11 Senators--11; I want it put on my epitaph that I was one of them--that voted against that crazy nonsense in 1981 that Ronald Reagan sent over here saying we are going to grow our way out of this mess by cutting taxes and…

on March 2, James M. ``Mike'' Lambe, Chief of the National Park Service's Office of Legislation, will retire after nearly 40 years of Federal service. Since 1961, Mike has been with the Park Service where he has served with distinction and…

The funds which are proposed to be rescinded in the Senate bill are, in fact, a portion of the fiscal year 1993 appropriation that carried over to the current fiscal year. The committee has been advised that these funds are not needed to…

the agriculture chapters of titles I and II of this bill contain the supplementals exactly as proposed by the President. We are providing $340,500,000 for the Soil Conservation Service and $25,000,000 for the Agricultural Stabilization and…

the bill, as reported by the Appropriations Committee, already cuts title I of Public Law 480 by 10 percent. Title III is cut by 16 percent. The committee was very reluctant even to make these cuts, considering that this program is very…

I had never heard of Whitewater until the summer of 1992 when it surfaced in the campaign. I do not recall ever having heard of Madison Guaranty until the former President of that company was indicted, tried and in approximately 20 minutes…

In the 1980's we debated a constitutional amendment presented to this body by President Reagan, a constitutional amendment dealing with voluntary prayer in school. There was just one thing that was fatally flawed about that amendment. It…

prevent American tax dollars from being used to help foreign countries who are trying to take our export markets.
