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…

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…

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…

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.

Does the Senator question whether the majority of attorneys general endorse the compromise? Does he have any doubt about that?

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…

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

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 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, as usual, like to salute my leader, the chairman of the Appropriations Committee, Senator Byrd, as he spoke to what tradition used to be. I am reminded that in my first very inconsequential speech before the Senate--but my maiden…

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…

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, 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…

later this year, the Senate will consider the reauthorization of a number of child nutrition programs. The goal of our legislative efforts will be, as always, to ensure the health and well-being of America's children, especially those who…

I am pleased to have been a cosponsor of the California desert protection bill, which the Senate passed this morning. We have finally been able to secure lasting protection for the irreplaceable ecosystems in the desert of southern…

Martin Luther King once called to our Nation to ``forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.'' I rise today to honor a man who answered that call, a true leader who served as a public official in my State for more than 30…

I recently had the great pleasure of attending the Delaware State Bar Association's 70th anniversary celebration. The event was also a tribute to two of my State's most distinguished jurists, both of whom mark in 1994 25 years of service…

I do not do this very often, but today, I would like to address the Senate about a friend of mine, a neighbor from Wilmington, DE. Dan Frawley was not a native of Delaware; he was born and raised in upstate New York. But from the day he…

10 years ago, we were told that America was a Nation at risk. We were told that if a foreign power had imposed such an educational system on the United States, we might very well consider it an act of war. That report was our wake-up call…

the language in section 170A of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act now before the Senate expresses the sense of Congress that the United States should encourage the establishment of an international criminal court within the United…

let me begin by complimenting Senator Kerry, the floor manager of the authorization bill, along with the ranking member of the full committee, as well as the subject jurisdiction subcommittee. It is not always the most fun to handle this…

the amendment I sent to the desk is a product of a compromise, a genuine hard-fought compromise, after months of deliberation and debate, not only in the Foreign Relations Committee but also within the executive branch and between the two…

The simple truth is this: RFE/RL, Inc. have enjoyed credibility for four decades precisely because their analysts and broadcasters have not been employees of the U.S. Government. If the radios now become direct agencies of the U.S…
