If you read current law and you follow it, which your Administration hasn't done and doesn't seem to want to do, if you follow the letter of current law, you are going to see a 90 percent decrease in mercury.

I was distressed to see the Administration wait so long to release your report on Children and Environmental Risks.

That is very kind of you. Thank you very much.

I want to go through why I think that is the case. So as we get ready to take part in a wonderful ritual where the Members of the Senate will gather in this Chamber--and I know the Chair, as a new Member, will experience this amazing…

This is a quick question. Some of our colleagues on the other side have basically said the Senator is relying totally on the United Nations. I have read the Senator's resolution over and over. He is so clear on the point that at any time…

I thank the Senator for putting this debate in the proper context and for pointing out what the solemn duty really is in the Senate. I want to ask my friend a couple of questions. Has my friend heard, as I have, the President himself and…

I want to underscore that what the Senator says is so right. After that debate that took place on the first gulf war, about 80 percent of the American people said they were so proud. Clearly, they may not have agreed with my position, your…

I say to my friend, I learned of this quote reading the front page today of the Washington Post, and I am going to read what it says. It says four times in the past 2 days Bush has suggested that Democrats do not care about national…

This week, Yasser Arafat had the opportunity to follow the advice of Dr. Schultz and strongly state that terrorist attacks, including suicide bombings, must end. Unfortunately, Yasser Arafat has again fallen short of what he must do so…

I say to the flight attendants and the pilots who worked so hard to help us get this to a vote today: Your work will be rewarded. You are, in many cases, the last line of defense with the fact that our security checkpoints are failing…

If I might just answer the question this way: I would say, in all honesty, the ball is in the court of my chairman, Chairman Hollings. We have a couple of people who want to talk, but they are not asking for a lot of time. They have brief…

I compliment LA. I hope, I say to my TSA people, that you will stay on top of those screeners because we cannot handle a 40 percent failure rate.

The bad guys are on the other team. So let us stick together, unified, and defeat their attempts to harm us.

I want to assure you, as a member of the traveling public, that a little inconvenience is not going to worry me.

I would like to hear from all of you on the added costs.

I think that we put a price, a security tag on the ticket prices, and you know, security is security.

It seems to me if the Federal Government's taking over security at airports, then it needs to--

I think that is the key here, at least for LAX, is that sort of mind-set about moving on----

Mr. Stone--and again, you are just so nice to take on this job of answering for people who are not here--why is there no plan for Sacramento?

So could you respond to that, Mr. Gomez?

We know. That is why they are interim and not permanent.

But the costs far, I think in terms of security, outweigh the extra time that is going to be spent to resolve the error rate on ETDs.

So if half the frequent fliers did this, you've got a 25 percent easier job.

I mean, this is bad.

I want you to know that I am going to help get a little special attention over there because it worries me.
