The Senator from Connecticut for what he had to say, and what he has had to say on many other occasions on other subjects, and for the leadership he has provided on children and the violence and the filth they are being exposed to, and the…

I believe, in fact, they could become the foundation, the basis, for us to heal a wound that will otherwise not just divide Democrat from Democrat--which is likely to occur--but open up a fissure in America that will make it difficult for…

The Senator from Connecticut has done is come as an American--not as a Democrat, but as an American, as a U.

I believe that the harm the President's actions have caused extend beyond the political arena.

I believe that the President could have lessened the harm his relationship with Ms.

I think that we can come back as a Congress and finish out our business and perform our responsibilities and do the things that we ask permission to do and we sought the power of this office from our people to do.

The Senator from Connecticut and his leadership in calling our attention--by that I mean those of us who serve here in Congress.

I believe it is important that we provide the President with the time and space and support he needs to carry out his most important duties and protect our national interest and security.

I think, that he understood his behavior had diminished the office he holds and the country he serves and that it is inconsistent with the mainstream American values that he has advanced as President.

I think at times like this, when our Constitution is going to be reviewed again as to what it means and when we are going to have to make decisions about what to do when we are presented with a set of facts--which may be nothing--it is…

I believe Presidential scholar James David Barber, in his book The Presidential Character,'' was getting at when he wrote that the public demands a sense of legitimacy from, and in, the Presidency There is more to this than dignity, more…

I believe it is important for those of us who serve, especially in leadership responsibilities, as I do on the Democratic side, chairing the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, to come and say that this is not just inappropriate…

I believe the talk of impeachment and resignation now is unwise because it ignores the reality that, while the Page S9925 independent counsel proceeds with his investigation, the President is still our Nation's leader, our Commander in…

Mr. President, if I may speak briefly about the situation in Bosnia. As the record is clear here, acts of aggression were occurring, acts of genocide, slaughter, unseen in Europe since the end of the Second World War which, in this case…

Mr. President, I want to respond very briefly to that and say that the suggestions made by the State Department spokesman in my opinion are wrong.

Our intent in sponsoring this legislation, was to drive the defense debate to a strategy-based assessment of our future military requirements and capabilities, not to do a budget-driven incremental massage of the status quo. We were…

I share the Senator's concern. Under the COSSI program, DOD intends to make sensible investments that will reduce weapons systems costs in the long run. By upgrading the F-14A/B Inertial System, for example, DOD expects that it could…

The whole confirmation process becomes more and more outrageous. People feel it is their duty to engage in character assassination or to cause the nominee's defeat, or to discourage and demoralize them. The FBI files are raw files. They…

The rule of law is the rule of law. It is what separates civilized from uncivilized people. It is true not just here for us but in countries around the world, and insofar as we fail to bring to justice indicted criminals in an…

This amendment, now amended in the second degree by Senators Murkowski and McCain, would enable the President to fulfill the promise made as part of the agreed framework signed in October 1994 to avoid the escalating probability of the…

I rise very briefly to thank the Senator from Colorado... what we are doing here tonight is, in some measure, ratifying and hoping to make permanent the victory that freedom won in the cold war.

This amendment calls on the Secretary of Defense to conduct a thorough study of alternative force structures for our armed services. What are we talking about? We are really talking here about providing the members of the Senate Armed…

I want to speak following the very eloquent words of our friend and colleague from Illinois, Senator Moseley-Braun, about the wave of church burnings in the South. There is a way in which it would be assumed that all of us here in this…

I have been thinking as I listened to the debate this morning... that our civil justice system is not working well. I do not think anybody really can stand up and defend the status quo of the litigation system in America.

I rise to support the substitute that is now pending offered by Senator Daschle, Senator Breaux, Senator Mikulski and many others. I am privileged to be a cosponsor of the so-called Work First plan, which really represents a genuine…
