I want to relay a telephone number, a number that may not sound familiar but you can be sure is memorized by thousands of women across the country. 1-800-799-SAFE--the number for the National Domestic Violence Hotline. Each month, over…

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…

I support this resolution commemorating an extraordinary holiday, International Women's Day; a day that is celebrated around the globe to mark women's achievements and to recognize pressing gender inequities still to be erased. There is no…

I rise today to make plain my strong opposition to the bill under consideration today, S. 1805, the ``Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act.'' Let me state at the outset, I support the rights of law-abiding citizens to own and…

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…

Mr. President, my friend, our colleague, Bill Roth, died while the Senate was out of session. Otherwise, I am certain there would have been a profuse outpouring of sentiment on the floor, as when any person of consequence dies. Bill Roth…

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…

Americans believe in fair play: the right for everyone to have his say, the opportunity to get a job and make your own way in the world, a fair wage for a day's work. This is not just idealism--we figure we are all better off if the system…

for our national security, for our economic future, for the health of our environment, our country needs an effective, comprehensive national energy policy. We must free ourselves from dependence on foreign sources of energy. We must leave…

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…

today I rise to support a United Nations Democracy Caucus to address questions that underlie a countless number of our foreign policy decisions, particularly in today's climate: How can the United States be more effective in advancing our…

the fiscal year 2004 Department of Defense Authorization Conference Report provides important benefits as our military personnel continue to do battle in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Balkans, South America, and elsewhere. It is not, however, a…

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…

let me conclude by saying today's paper carries the news that the quixotic and unreliable and often inscrutable actions of the North Koreans have brought the Supreme Leader of North Korea to the position where he is now saying he will…

This resolution is cosponsored by my distinguished colleague, the chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, Senator Lugar, as well as Senators Kerry, Brownback, Dodd, and Hagel. It recognizes the 50th anniversary of the United…

I rise tonight to introduce, along with my good friend from Utah, Senator Hatch, the distinguished Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, the ``Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2003.'' Over the last several weeks, we have read front-page…

yesterday in my opening statement at a hearing of the Committee on Foreign Relations on anti-Semitism in Europe, I criticized the European Union for not having included in its Brussels summit's so-called ``Presidency Conclusions'' a…

I have. I have looked in great detail. That is not just for ammunition dumps. That is across the board. I also point out the military said there is no explanation for why Saddam would have these caches all over the country. I suggest we…

I will not yield. I will not yield. I am almost finished, and you can have the floor, and I will be happy to discuss it in any way. To keep the continuity of the point I am trying to make here, the same thing exists in Afghanistan. They…

No one doubts this is a critical issue, dealing with and securing this stockpile of conventional weapons, which our military tells us on the ground is now being used in more sophisticated ways by the old Fedayeen, by the thugs, by the old…

I rise in support of the Landrieu amendment. The amendment would require the President to direct the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq to establish, in consultation with the Iraqi Governing Council or a successor entity in Iraq, an…

Yes, if my colleague will let me speak, I will be happy to show you. I have not spoken once on this entire legislation since it has been on the floor. The answer is yes, not padding in the sense they think this is some nefarious scheme…

I will be very brief. Senator McCain raises an important point about the Sudan. Why are we all of a sudden sending money to the Sudan? The answer is that this amendment does not send funds to Sudan. I know of no one other than Senator…

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