Mr. President, I rise to say that I support the substance of both of the amendments that have been offered. But for reasons that are similar, really, and with the same sense of urgency expressed by my friend and colleague from Arizona and…

CBO estimated that both versions, the House-passed last year and the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, quite similar to S. 2 before us now, would cost about $1 million for the first 2 years in effect as the office gears up and $4 to…

I am very privileged to be a cosponsor with the Senator from Iowa of this amendment, and I congratulate him on his willingness to charge the fortress here, to try to remove one of the hurdles to this being a truly representative and…

I am privileged to rise in support of this measure and am delighted not only to join the real pioneers in this effort--Senator Glenn and Senator Grassley--but to speak after our new colleague, the Senator from Tennessee, who has spoken…

the people of Bosnia-Herzegovina are in the midst of their third terrible winter of war. For most Bosnians, uncertain food supplies, running water, heat and fuel compound the misery of loss--of family members, and friends, personal…

A new day has dawned here on Capitol Hill today. A new majority has come to power; but, hopefully, more than a new majority--a new sense of responsiveness to the public, a new understanding of what it means to do the public's business here…

I rise to introduce the Electronic Benefits Regulatory Relief Act of 1994. This bill is also cosponsored by Senators Breaux, Domenici, Feinstein, Pressler, and Hatfield. When passed, this bill will eliminate one of the major barriers to…

I would make this point and I do think the Senator has made an important point in saying that the problem of the filibuster, to use the term we have been using and perhaps in some measure agreeing on it, the misuse of the filibuster has…

I rise today to say a few words about Nancy N. Campbell, who will be honored in my home State of Connecticut for her outstanding contributions to historic preservation. On May 26 at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Nancy Campbell will…

I am very pleased to rise to urge support of passage of S. 729, the Lead Exposure Reduction Act. I am an original cosponsor of this legislation and have been working with Senator Reid for 5 years on this issue. I would like to congratulate…

I rise today before you to honor Mrs. Betty L. Tianti, the Nation's first female president of a State labor federation and Connecticut's first labor commissioner. Mrs. Tianti died on May 16, 1994. After attending the University of…

I believe Senators Dole and Lieberman and all those Senators supporting this bill have adequately refuted the many arguments posed against it. The unlawfulness of the embargo has been well established. Those who fear that other embargoes…

Mr. President, we come once again to a crossroads. In the two votes that we will cast in a short while, we will make a fateful decision for the war-torn people of Bosnia and also for our own people, as we consider what part we shall play…

I do not want to see Bosnian men, women, and children die at the hands of naked aggression because they don't have the weapons to defend themselves. This debate today and the decision each of us makes when we vote on this issue are…

I am honored to join with the Senator from Kansas in introducing S. 2042, the aim of which, as has been stated, is to lift the arms embargo on Bosnia. I am pleased, also, that Senator Dole and I have 31 other cosponsors from both parties…

I rise today in celebration of a truly historic event. For today is the day of Nelson Mandela's inauguration as the new President of South Africa. Elected through free and open elections in which, for the first time, all South Africans…

I rise today to honor the memory of a man who was a mentor for me early in my career: William Horowitz, who passed away last week at the age of 86. I first met Bill Horowitz during my freshman year at Yale. I went into his General…

today I offer a bill to expand the boundary of the Weir Farm National Historic Site in the State of Connecticut. This language will authorize the National Park Service to acquire the last two remaining undeveloped parcels of the historic…

Mr. President, as both of my colleagues have indicated, this amendment expresses the sense of the Senate about the Financial Accounting Standards Board, a little known but powerful entity--and the occupant of the chair may not know…

I find myself not feeling this way about his arguments in this particular case. Madam President, the Senator from Michigan has talked at great length about the compensation of chief executives of companies and the way in which that…

let me just take a few moments to outline the three reasons why I believe my colleagues should vote in favor of this resolution. First, stock option plans are broad based and are growing. We all know, as the Senator from New Jersey said…

On June 29, 1993, Senator McCain and I introduced the Iran-Iraq Arms Non-Proliferation Amendments of 1993, a bill to revise and add to the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 1993. At our request, our Dear Colleague letter…

on April 30 to May 2, 1994, more than 1,200 students from 47 States and the District of Columbia will be in our Nation's Capital to complete in the national finals of the We the People . . . The Citizen and the Constitution Program. I am…

I am proud to join with the distinguished Republican leader, the Senator from Kansas, [Mr. Dole], in cosponsoring this amendment and thank him for his leadership. This is truly a bipartisan expression of the opinion of Members of the…

the question of the Senator from Virginia is a fair one. He asked earlier about what reaction the Bosnian Serbian army might take in response to the lifting of the arms embargo against the Bosnians. I would say there is not much worse…
