There are two resolutions out there right now, and you're opposed to both of them.

I rise to speak today to mark several important developments in our Nation's fight to end domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. First, I recently had the honor of addressing domestic violence advocates from across the country…

I rise to introduce the Law Enforcement Discipline, Accountability, and Due Process Act of 2003, along with the Chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Corrections and Victims' Rights Senator Graham, Senator McConnell and Senator…

I rise today to help introduce a bill with my good friend from California that will bring new and needed tools to the battle to end violence against children in America, whether it takes place inside the home or out on the street. Today…

as we consider legislation today on the global epidemic of HIV/AIDS, I urge my colleagues to think about this: While the poorest nations of the world lack the resources to provide the most basic public health care and the most basic…
May 15, 2003
I, quite frankly, not only agree with every point the Senator has made, but, quite frankly, I have not heard a more compelling case, a more logical case, and a more--how can I say it?-- reasoned indictment of our failure to be willing to…
May 15, 2003
If the Senator will yield. In addition, I agreed with the White House to further amend my amendment to change the effective date, which was a very important element to the White House. They wanted the original language we had in…
May 15, 2003
our economy is in a slump unlike any in recent memory. In fact, we are experiencing a downturn with features unseen since the days of the Great Depression. In the last 2 years, we have lost over 2.6 million jobs in the private sector. That…
May 15, 2003
I will respond to what I know firsthand. I can only speak firsthand to the White House. It is my understanding, and it has been asserted to me, that there have been discussions with senior Republicans--I assume that that was shared by…
May 15, 2003
It is true we did go see the President. The Senator from Indiana and I have a slightly different take on what we told the President. My view is the President has incredible leverage with the Republican House. And my point to the President…
May 15, 2003
I understand fully the situation of my friend from Indiana. As my colleague, Barry Goldwater--and we both served with him--used to say: In your heart you know we could have a better bill. But we have a time problem. We have a circumstance…

it is fitting on this day, which is the 58th anniversary of VE Day, the victory over Nazi tyranny in Europe, that the Senate is about to vote to admit seven countries that suffered under that tyranny and the tyranny of Communism--Bulgaria…
May 7, 2003
This is proof there is bipartisanship in this operation. We have a Democrat and a Republican opposing a Democrat and Republican on the principle here but not on whether or not this should be included and considered. This is basically a…
Apr 11, 2003
the country is truly well served by having the Senator from North Dakota as ranking member. I don't know anyone who knows more about facts relating to our budget this year, last year, or in the last decade than the Senator from North…
Apr 11, 2003
I will take the additional few minutes. It means doing what is right . . . and not handing the bill for our actions to our children and grandchildren. By returning us to the failed policies of massive deficits this budget does exactly…
Apr 3, 2003
Absolutely not. Any more than they should be in Iraq. This amendment is a disaster. I understand the frustration. But this is a case where, as my dear mother would say--and my friend from Arizona has met my mom--she would look at me when…
Apr 3, 2003
Absolutely, positively not. Because of the, as some view them, arcane rules of the Senate, the Senator has to make his point by asking me questions. I would be delighted to yield him some time to speak to this directly as well. What we are…
Mar 27, 2003
I am going to make a longer speech about Pat Moynihan, who was a close personal friend. That sounds almost presumptuous to say. He was such a towering intellect and profound political figure, to claim a personal friendship with him seems…
Mar 26, 2003
our Nation is at war. Our Federal budget faces unprecedented deficits. According to the Congressional Budget Office, counting the cost of that war, the deficit will be $587 billion this year alone. And we are on the threshold of a crisis…
Mar 21, 2003
the COPS Program: $163 million. This amendment will take it up to what it has historically been for the last 8 or 9 years, about $1.16 billion. At the time we are cutting back FBI agents, we have cut the violent crime task forces, FBI…

If keeping weapons of mass destruction out of the hands of our enemies is our number one security threat--who is in charge of this important mission?
Mar 19, 2003
The first line of defense against proliferation is to keep people from getting the materials and technology for weapons of mass destruction in the first place.
Mar 19, 2003
Russia's nuclear weapons and weapons materials are still dangerously insecure.

I want to congratulate the efforts you have made to grant the executive branch permanent waiver authority.
Politicians like Joe Biden
