I do think we have to consider who shot whom and who is raping whom. In a word, we have to step up to Serbian aggression. While there is a clear difference of opinion in our Nation let me ask this: Would the Bosnian Serbs prefer this…

The difference though again is that the Senator's bill has new language which has not interpreted failure to comply whereas the language, as the Senator points to in our bill, has been interpreted in a way which is significantly narrower…

Since the Senator asked and my colleagues continue to ask that question, let me try to answer that question: It is because we have repeatedly, over and over again, said that if the benefits to health and safety or the environment are…

Except that is limited by the Senator's language in subsection (b). When it comes to the least costly alternative, the Senator does not say ``benefit'' which is, in fact, defined somewhere else. It is limited to nonquantifiable benefit…

Failure to comply with the rules pertaining to the cost-benefit and risk analysis. Again, they insert as to what they believe you are intending, that failure may be considered by the court solely for the purpose of determining whether the…

The definition in the bill says that ``if the nonquantifiable benefits to health, safety, or the environment identified by the agency,'' et cetera. The number of lives in my hypothetical is very, very precise and is quantified. Now, since…

The Senator has pointed exactly to one of the major differences in the two bills, which is the requirement in the Johnston bill that you go with least cost, unless there is a certain nonquantifiable benefit. But if the benefits are…

The Senator raises a question. If there are 823 lives saved, according to a cost-benefit analysis, for the cost of $1 million, is that quantified or not quantified?

In the 1994 report of the National Academy of Sciences--that report entitled ``Science and Judgment in Risk Assessment''--they made a number of specific recommendations to the EPA where they might improve policies, practices, and methods…

I believe that is correct. Under that section, the courts have adopted the following standard, that the procedural errors ``were so serious and related to matters of such central relevance to the rule that there is a substantial likelihood…

I think the difference is in the preceding language. The difference is in the preceding language in Glenn-Chafee which, if an analysis assessment had been performed, the courts shall review to determine whether the analysis or assessment…

I am wondering, relevant to the answer that I gave the Senator, whether or not the Senator is willing to incorporate that narrowing language?

Because the Justice Department has set forth the ambiguity in the words ``failure to comply.'' The question is whether or not those words refer to the procedural irregularities which could occur in the cost-benefit analysis or in the risk…

I am referring here though now to the interpretation of section 706. You see, that has been interpreted. It has been interpreted as I just read. The language of the Senator from Louisiana has not so been interpreted yet, and is open to a…

I am sickened by media reports, if they are correct, regarding the so-called ``Good O' Boys Roundup'' in Tennessee. According to these reports hundreds of law enforcement officials are involved in this whites only event in the spring of…

again I commend Senator Hatch. I know he will find strong bipartisan support for this initiative he is taking. There is a bipartisan determination to go root out this kind of racism in America. Again, I think he will find very strong…

I hope that can be true, because I think the intent of the amendment is an important one and a laudatory one. There are a number of things which I believe can be clarified, which will help that amendment reflect what is that laudatory…

Mr. President, a number of the problems which I saw in this amendment have been corrected. There still remains a problem with it, but I intend to vote for this amendment, and I want to thank the Senator from Texas for introducing it. It is…

the substitute which we offer is basically the same bill as the Roth-Glenn bill, a bipartisan bill, a strong regulatory reform bill that passed Governmental Affairs unanimously. Our substitute would fundamentally change the way that…

the amendment is acceptable on this side. My understanding of the amendment, and I would like perhaps confirmation of this from my friend from Utah, is that this amendment gets into the problems that have been created for the bottled water…

there are major problems in judicial review. It appears as though there are as many as 140 additional items which can be litigated under S. 343 because of some of the language in it beyond items which can be litigated today. Now, we want…

what is behind the Republicans' wild swings at Medicare? In part it is to finance a tax cut for the privileged few, but it is also a reflection of a basic Republican dislike of Medicare. Words can be very meaningful, and look at what the…

On that issue, to pursue it, can you move to a more costly program if the benefits are quantifiable?

There will be an amendment which will do precisely that, because of the concerns the Senator from Delaware and others raised. These are legitimate concerns which a whole host of people who are deeply involved in this issue have raised as…

No. I think the question I asked though is a simple one. Where there is a conflict, where there is a conflict between the underlying statute's criteria and the criteria in this statute, the question is what governs? Now, we have been…
