Joe Biden

I know that no existing FEMA program was intended to buy out an entire community but $30 million is a lot of money in a State like mine. I believe additional Federal assistance for Glenville will help the State and the county finish their…

Delaware Governor Ruth Ann Minner's requests for Federal disaster relief following Henri and Isabel was approved and FEMA was on the ground in Glenville immediately to assist. Since last September, however, we have come to the realization…

Joe Biden now taking to the podium -- one of the many speakers here who will be talking about John Kerry the man, his record, his military record, and what they say he will do for this country.

Nobody (UNINTELLIGIBLE) -- no one's done any vetting and checking that I'm aware of.

I also hope that we will have their input regarding the mission and its suitability for the Air Guard before we take up next year's Defense Authorization bill. I would also like to make sure that the consideration of this particular…

I say to my friend, I didn't want to debate it. I was trying to get the facts. The facts are that, notwithstanding what he suggested he has saved by budget points of order, he brought a budget to the Senate floor that is in deficit over…

I ask my colleague, the chairman of the Budget Committee, how big was the deficit in the budget you brought to the Senate floor, the budget you voted out of committee?

We are already starting off with the Senator recommending a vote for a budget that has $400 billion-plus.

There's a reason why we sign these treaties to protect my son in the military. That's why we have these treaties so when Americans are captured they are not tortured. That's the reason in case anybody forgets it. That's the reason.

As we both know, the details of that are classified, but we are allowed to say, and I give you my opinion, and I believe it would be the consensus of the intelligence community: No. We are not safer.

Clearly we are not. That is not to suggest you are suggesting it is not good Saddam is gone. I think we are, in a marginal sense, safer because he is gone. But I think the effect of what we have allowed to happen, or what has happened in…

I think Rumsfeld's resignation is a bit of a sideshow in a sense.

You know there's this tradition in the United States Navy if a captain of a ship goes up on the shoals, almost regardless of whether it was his fault or not, he loses command.

We should stop this talk of unilateralism, and we should stop this bravado that has characterized some parts of the administration, and talk about the need for NATO to work together, get NATO into Iraq.

I stand here with great pride that my alma mater, the University of Delaware, has won the national football championship for Division I-AA. This team played one of the most outstanding seasons in college football history with a record of…

There really is no American train security.

As I said to Vietnamese Government officials, human rights should not have to be an impediment to the growing relationship with the United States, and now is the time to convince the international community, and particularly the United…

If we want to develop a meaningful relationship with Vietnam that will be sustained over the years, one that respects and does justice to the tragic history between Vietnam and the United States and to the memory of all who served and all…

There is a quotation engraved on the wall at Union Station. It goes like this: Be noble, and the nobleness that lies in other men sleeping but never dead will rise in majesty to meet thine own. Bill Roth also brought out the humility in…

I feel like I am part of New Jersey. The Senator from New Jersey is--I don't want to hurt his reputation--my closest ally in the Senate. We share a common border. Although I always kid him, as big as New Jersey is, the Delaware River is…

I think it reflected the fact that there is a crisis in confidence in the President's leadership in Iraq. To put it more straightforward, there is a grave doubt about the policy we are engaging in now and its prospects for success. The…

On that one point, there is a compromise. It is a good one. We essentially reprioritize and stand by those priorities.

I ask my colleague, if he is concerned about how some of the money is being spent, should he not justify how the amendment would like to have that money spent?

Senator Joe Biden plans to introduce a bill next week on anabolic steroids that could again reignite this discussion.

For us, a constitution is about the rights of the individual, the responsibilities of the government.
