Now, further, I ask my friend from Idaho, what if the authorization bill did claim to set out criteria and procedures for the responsible Federal agency but those criteria said in effect, ``Federal agency, do what you think is right if the…

Mr. President, this bill adds a new section to the Budget Act, section 408(C). That section, as I understand it, provides that a simple majority point of order shall lie against any authorization bill that imposes a mandate unless the…

As I read Morrison versus Olson and other separation of powers cases, the fact is that the judgment made by the Supreme Court as to whether we can or cannot delegate authority, any branch in the Federal Government may or may not delegate…

I rise this evening to urge the United States to vote at the United Nations against renewing the partial lifting of sanctions against Serbia and Montenegro in return for their alleged blockade against the Bosnian Serbs. The 100-day…

The American people have always risen to the occasion, and I have no doubt that they will do so again.

I believe in a balanced approach to government, one that is fair to all Americans.

We must never forget that America is a shining city on a hill, and that we must work together to keep it that way.

it has been over 2 years, since the spring of 1992, during which the outside world has stood largely idle as the Republic of Bosnia--a nation of Europe recognized by the United Nations--has been attacked, raped, and dismembered by forces…

I spoke in some detail last Friday about why I will oppose the sense-of-the-Senate amendment offered by the Senator from New York. Today, let me summarize my thoughts by making two points: First, the Racial Justice Act will not put an end…

I rise on behalf of half a dozen Senators who have spoken to me relative to the potential racial justice amendment. If it is put in, and if there is no ability to amend that or second degree that amendment, I would have to object to any…

That would satisfy an apparent sense of equity but it may put me at a disadvantage in terms of being able to defeat the Senator's amendment, and on this matter I feel very, very strongly about this racial justice provision and I do not…

this month we mark the Armenian genocide--the horrible atrocities committed against the Armenian people in the early part of this century. We memorialize the tragic events that resulted in the deaths of an estimated 1.5 million…

I am pleased to support the conference report on the Foreign Relations Authorization Act for fiscal years 1994 and 1995. I want to commend the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Pell, and the ranking member, Senator…

I rise to speak to the issue of the constitutionality of the proposal proposed by the President of the United States and endorsed here by Senator Dole and others in this amendment that relate to whether or not there is able to be a genuine…

it authorized the President of the United States--and it is the law of the land--to make available to the Bosnian Government up to $50 million in arms that are sitting ``on the shelf'' here in the United States. I have been an open critic…

I hope that whatever ancillary issues there are, unrelated issues there are, could be resolved in another context, because we really should be moving ahead with this legislation. As I said, he has worked tirelessly on it. No one knows more…

My mother used an expression that she heard used somewhere else. I think it comes out of some work of literature. When I say, ``Mom, in the long run--'' she says, ``Honey, in the long run, we'll all be dead.'' In the long run, we will be…

If the Senator will yield, I not only would guess, I know that the leadership, Democrat and Republican, of the National Attorneys General Association and the District Attorneys Association would be and are opposed to either the proposition…

I rise in support of the nomination of Rosemary Barkett, chief justice of the Florida Supreme Court, to become a judge in the U.S. court of appeals for the eleventh circuit. It seems to me there can be no doubt that she is qualified for…

By contrast, judges in the lower Federal courts are bound by precedents of the Supreme Court. Notwithstanding their personal views, their obligation is to follow and interpret the law in a manner consistent with the Supreme Court's…

I pointed out his attorney general was against the Biden compromise and I pointed out that a majority of the attorneys general were for the compromise and a third to half ended up being opposed to the compromise. The official endorsement…

I, too, would like to congratulate Senator Dole. Senator Dole has always reminded me of a comment my father would often make to his children. He used to say, ``Never complain and never explain. Just go do it.'' One of the things about Bob…

I frankly resent the constant reference to my attempting to mislead the United States Senate.

I worked for 7 months on a compromise. I got an absolute majority of the attorneys general of the United States of America... The conservative Republicans were against the Biden compromise on the floor. We took it out of the bill because…

I would not want to ask the Senator to carry such a heavy load, because I am confident my shoulders are not strong enough to carry the corresponding load.
