Jon Kyl

In conclusion, as I said in the beginning, I think this is good news for the Senate, for the House, for the administration, and for all friends of Taiwan and for those who believe both in permanent normal trade relations with China, as…

The point the Senator just made is validated by a Gallup Poll that just came out, conducted from June 22 to 25. It shows that 60 percent of adults favor this proposal that would eliminate all inheritance taxes, compared to 35 percent who…

Yet they support its repeal because they understand it is unfair. To the point of the Senator from California yesterday, who said this all boils down to whose side are you on, no, it does not. What it boils down to is that the vast…

No later than December 2001. It could be, therefore, submitted prior to that date. It all depends upon when the QDR would be submitted. But it does have to be at the same time. If I could just make one other point, I am advised by staff…

I believe the question of the Senator from Michigan through the Senator from Nebraska to the Senator from Virginia is whether he agreed with me. My interpretation is simply the language of the amendment which says that the Nuclear Posture…

The first objection is that this is too wordy. It is not 15 pages. It is about 25 pages. But the total number of words that describe victims' rights is 179. The total number of words in the amendment, except for the technical provisions…

I said: We should not take from that the fact that you can lie or that you can obstruct justice, that you can engage in conduct that is designed to subvert justice, to take the law into your own hands. That would be the wrong lesson.

I thank the Senator. I hope the Department does submit a reprogramming request to implement the December decision. Is it the committee's intent to indicate in any way to the Department or other parts of the Federal Government that the…

We are already seeing the highest rates of first-time use of marijuana among teens and pre-teens in over 30 years. We are on the verge of a major, new drug epidemic. I do not think this is the time to be sending the kind of mixed message…

The real motive here is to legalize these drugs, not to make medicine available.

That's right. But there is another big difference. These efforts do more than authorize that practice you describe. They place no limits on who would be eligible to receive these ``treatments'' and they do not limit the ``illnesses'' for…

Apart from over-the-counter medicines, we regulate access to drugs. This is what prescriptions are for. For dangerous drugs with a potential for abuse, we license their use and only permit people to use them based on a physician's…

Yes. Sometimes the time it takes to do this is frustrating, but the purpose is to ensure that we provide safe and effective medicine to the public.

The Senator is correct. In most of these efforts, what is called for is a doctor's recommendation. Frankly, that could mean anything.

Under the Controlled Substances Act, which governs how we deal with all drugs in this country, no Schedule I drug may be prescribed as a medicine. Schedule I drugs are placed in this category because they have no recognized medical use and…

To my knowledge, neither of these drugs, which would be made legal in Arizona for medical use, have any recognized medical utility. In addition, both of these substances are illegal to prescribe as medicine under federal law and no doctor…

It seems that we would all want the military leaders of our country to agree that any policy that we adopt is commensurate with both combat requirements and the safety of the Armed Forces of the United States. And if they are not willing…

The remarks he made on the occasion of the public ceremony in the Rotunda for the two fallen Capitol Police officers, I thought, were extraordinary, right on the mark, and I very much appreciate his representation of the Senate at that…

I want to note that an interactive computer service whose facilities or service are used by another person as a means of communication to engage in an activity prohibited by section 1085, and where the interactive computer service does not…

The use of such support services does not change the result assuming the account wagering system meets the requirements for a ``closed loop subscriber-based service that is wholly intrastate.'' As stated previously, the location of the…

Senator McConnell, you are welcome. I am very pleased that we have been able to work together to protect legitimate, law abiding interests who make significant contributions to the nation's economy.

Yes, assuming of course that the wagering pools are being commingled in accordance with section 2 of the bill and further assuming the account wagering system meets the requirements for a ``closed loop subscriber-based service.''

The horse racing industry wants to be able to continue account wagering and other similar activities that utilize emerging technologies. A variety of federal and state statutes and regulations now govern this activity and together, they…

This bill is not intended to hamper the future growth of horse racing. Am I correct in my analysis that S. 474 does not prohibit or restrict account wagering by telephone?

Yes, assuming each facility that participates in the pools is duly licensed by the State or approved by the laws of the foreign jurisdiction in which it operates. As I states earlier, the location of the totalizator or other similar system…
