“there are a lot of problems that affect people around the world and in this country. Some go unmentioned and yet affect millions of lives and are with us every day. One of those problems is the problem of domestic violence. I was so pleased that both the majority leader and the Democratic leader, this morning, began their official presentations in the Senate talking about the problem of domestic violence and the fact that the Senate, last week, unanimously passed a resolution which supports ``the goals and ideals of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month,'' which is this month of October, and expresses ``the sense of the Senate that Congress should raise awareness of domestic violence in the United States and its devastating effects on families.'' Our message in passing this resolution is aimed both at a national audience as well as every individual who is a victim of domestic violence or who knows one. Their message is not a moment of silence, as is frequently the case but, rather, the message is: ``It's time to talk.'' And all around the country--indeed, the world--this message is being conveyed today and for the remainder of this month.”
