I would like to engage the esteemed chairman on a matter important to our Nation's Federal law enforcement training and the Glynco, GA site at which this training is conducted. As the chairman knows, the Federal Law Enforcement Training…

The chairman's remarks are appreciated. As the Senator from Colorado knows this design money will assist with the dormitories scheduled for full funding in fiscal year 2001. Funding for design money will provide important continuation of…

I understand that $4.6 million has been funded in FLETC's base construction account and the Committee is directing the Treasury Department to use the money for a chilled water system expansion at FLETC's facility in Glynco, GA even though…

I know that Senator Grassley and Senator DeWine share my concern that we ensure that our international counter drug programs here and elsewhere receive the support they need to keep drugs off our streets and out of our homes. We had a…

As the committee noted in its report on S. 1122, the Marine Corps' Chemical Biological Incident Response Force, also known as CBIRF, has an important responsibility in responding to chemical/ biological threats and that their activities…

as the Chairman knows, the threat of chemical and biological warfare agent incidents due to accidents or acts of terrorism is real. I applaud the attention and support provided by the Committee in S. 1122 to research activities on…

Today I am proud to join my esteemed colleagues in introducing a bill that will expand and make permanent the Medicare Subvention demonstration program passed as part of the 1997 Balanced Budget Agreement. I worked with Senator Gramm to…

I rise today to report on the implementation of the Taxpayer Browsing Protection Act of 1997. Two years ago, the Congress passed and the President signed into law, legislation I proposed with Senator John Glenn that sought to end the…

I do want to reiterate that this legislation does three very specific things to bring comfort to our troops in the combat zone. It exempts all U.S. troops serving in the Yugoslavian theater of operations from being taxed on their hazardous…

I could not agree more with any concept that envisions simplicity, equity. I think a lot of taxpayers today think somebody else is getting a better deal, and there is a lot of cynicism as a result. But with a proposal such as you are…

this is a resolution acknowledging the heroism of Boyd Clines, Larry Rogers, and Matt Moseley. I doubt that there is hardly an American alive who did not watch that stunning and chilling event when these three men exemplified all the…

I want to make a point there is a clock ticking. Nothing else we are talking about has a finite conclusion, which was why I wanted to do what we could do to get this done, so that the comfort--I think yours relates to comfort, too--can be…

I am disappointed that we would have an objection to a measure that has already, in a sense, been initiated by the President and deals with amelioration and comfort to the troops-- our sons and daughters that are in harm's way today, as we…

I want to elaborate. The reason is not to facilitate my own amendments. It is to facilitate the issue for which, as he has acknowledged, there is broad agreement. I think that the thinking here was that this very simple proposal which…

let me simply say, I think my friend is correct. I think we can pass this in 5 minutes. But it isn't going to be passed because of the proposal that is being propounded. It has been vetted on both sides. As he said, there is broad…

today I rise to offer a tax reform package to provide greater tax fairness and to protect citizens from retroactive taxation. This package includes three initiatives: a constitutional amendment called the retroactive tax ban amendment, a…

I rise today, joined by my good friends Senator Torricelli and Senator Abraham, to introduce legislation whose time I believe has clearly come. We are faced with a real crisis. That crisis is the state of personal savings, savings by…

The data that we are receiving is striking to me, particularly in grades kindergarten through high school, about failed reading skills, last in math, last in science among the industrialized nations. America knows this. You can ask any…

I am honored to rise this morning to pay tribute to a distinguished American and a great Georgia visionary. 50 years ago, Benjamin H. Hardy, Jr., was one of the primary architects of a new foreign policy initiative that became known as…

American soldiers in the modern military operate under a great deal of strain. Forced to work harder with fewer resources, our men and women in uniform bear a heavy burden defending our nation. This is especially true for those deployed…

Mr. Chief Justice and fellow colleagues, in the Capitol's Mansfield Room where our Conference has met over the last few weeks, there is a picture of our first president--George Washington-- who celebrates a birthday this Monday. I was…

the President has now given us his budget--quite a remarkable document. I remember when the President came to speak to the joint session and said, ``The era of big government is over.'' There was broad applause-- not only in the Chamber…

With the Educational Opportunities and Excellence Act of 1999, we want to lead the Congress in taking the first steps necessary to improve educational opportunities dramatically for every American child.

The bill requires that 95% of federal education dollars are spent on classroom activities, rather than Washington based bureaucracies.

The Educational Opportunities and Excellence Act of 1999 is a broad effort to offer new reforms to K-12 education.
