A court order would be obtained and the parents of the male child would be responsible for the child support of that offspring.

These funds apply, if two things are met: one, the State's welfare spending is less than the national average of State spending; and, second, population growth is greater than the national population growth. That does not necessarily…

The Dole proposal, as we understand it, benefits only 19 States. My amendment benefits all States. I would be happy to debate it. If I am wrong, I would be happy to admit it. This is our belief. Our formula would benefit 27 States, beyond…

I know the formula is going to be difficult to change. If it looks like a growth formula, if it is named like a growth formula, it ought to talk and walk like a growth formula. That is all I am saying. More States are benefited by this. I…

But they would have to face the challenge, because the cost-benefit risk assessment that they were doing is different from the one that would be required.

But it is quantified in that only 10 percent of the people die in the back seat. The problem is in the front seat.

The Senator from Delaware is 100 percent correct. I might say, coming from a State that has a $18 billion agricultural industry, I called up to see if we have had any phone calls at all from Agriculture, Farm Bureau, anybody else. The…

I would be prepared to do that, Senator. It is my understanding this affects gels, slurries, dynamite, emulsions and cast boosters, and black powder. But it does not include smokeless powder.

What concerns me is somebody writes a terrorist handbook. We have that case. And they tell somebody how to steal; how, in detail, to put together, let us say, a light bulb bomb. You come to them and say, ``You violated a criminal law.''…

What the Senator from Utah is saying is the explosive company that makes the explosive does not intend--that is clear--that it be used for criminal purposes. I agree. The intention of this is not to get at the explosive company. The…

The amendment very specifically says so that safety would not be impaired; in other words, in the study that would be done in the ensuing 12 months that there not be an adverse environmental impact, not impair the stability of the…

Let me make this point, if I may, because the Senator from Idaho has just said these are not Federal programs. The majority report says these are Federal programs. The majority report says: ``Among the Federal programs that would not be…

Senator, this is exactly my point, because in 1990, this body took Social Security off budget by a vote of 98 to 2. Social Security draws its revenues from its own specific FICA tax, not from the income tax or any other tax of Government.

I cannot answer that with specificity, but it would seem to me that if Congress fails to balance the budget that the President would have some authority, and whether this automatically confers a line-item veto or whether we do it…

I want to support a strong balanced budget amendment. But I want to support the right balanced budget amendment. In my first 2 years as U.S. Senator, I have had the opportunity to observe the standard operating procedure of the Senate--the…

Well, no matter which team wins, Senator Boxer and I can take pride. There are obvious similarities between Government and football. In both, blows to the face are disallowed. And there is much that Government can learn from…

I certainly know the 49'ers. From day one of this season, the 49'ers were picked by many as the team to beat. Assembled from a corps of seasoned veterans and prime talent developed within, the 49'ers had but one goal: beat Dallas and win…

In reviewing the proposed Eagle Mountain Landfill project which is outside of the boundaries of the desert parks and wilderness areas, it appears its status is unchanged by the enactment of the California Desert Protection Act.

During the consideration of the legislation, I met with dozens of desert users, visited the region, and offered more than 50 amendments to address different concerns.

The point I want to make today is illustrated on this chart, which shows the attacks with assault weapons that have taken place in this Nation since the Senate prepared to consider the crime bill. This bill is now in the House of…

I think there are a number of different issues that he raises. One is the issue of rebuilding in disaster-prone areas. I think one of the things about an act of God is that very often they are unpredictable. It is true that the West is an…

Mr. President, this supplemental is entirely justified. Its urgency is justified as well. Along the lines of urgency, I would like to submit, if I may, for the Record, a document entitled "The Urgency of Supplemental Appropriations for the…
