This bill would enable the public, the Congress, and the administration to evaluate accurately the costs and benefits of direct loans and loan guarantees.

Nancy Clark Reynolds is an outstanding nominee for the National Museum Services Board.

I am adamantly opposed to the excessive spending that is in the bill as it emerged from the conference committee.

there can be no compromise on the goal of Afghan independence.

We will not raise taxes; we will hold down spending; and we will adhere to the deficit reduction goals imposed by the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings legislation.

The American people clearly expect their elected leaders to vote the same way they talk.

we will continue our joint efforts in support of the freedom fighters efforts to win back your country's freedom.

I have to go back to work now.

I urge the American people to participate in appropriate observances to reflect our support of the Afghan struggle for freedom.

the total withdrawal of all Soviet forces and the full self-determination of the Afghan people.

My vote will be to veto bills that spend unnecessary billions on projects the American people cannot afford.

Thank you all for being here and thank all of you.
