I urge support of the Reid amendment when we do get to a vote on it. This meets the committee's criteria that corrects potential problems currently in the Air National Guard.

The Senator from Georgia is suggesting that there are a number of people in this body--and I am sure, whether it is 36, or 40, or 25, or 15--who want to make sure that we pass the chemical weapons treaty, or at least vote on it. It…

Mr. President, today there are now only 3.3 workers per recipient. Thirty years from now, the ratio will be two to one. And this ratio will continue to decline.

As much as I think that needs reforming, I do not think that habeas corpus statutes are the problem now. It has been somewhat modified by the courts themselves. I do not think that is as urgent as what we are talking about here, because…

I remember that evening very well. And I do not want to say this with much humor. There is not much humorous about anything regarding a Scud missile attack. The Senator said we were not in danger. If the Senator would amend that by saying…

John C. Stennis devoted his long life to public service. He encouraged, taught, and inspired many Senators and Senate staffer members, and was the model for many young people who have entered public service, not only in Mississippi but…

This whole issue of judicial review will require more work. As the Senator knows, it is complicated, and for me, is not fixed at this point. We are going to have to work on it more.

If I could say to my friend, there are two parts of this modification. One is to make it clear that risk assessment is not required under this amendment, only cost-benefit analysis. We talked about that earlier this afternoon. There was an…

I will certainly continue to discuss any modification of this amendment that makes sense from the small business perspective, and also from the point of view of regulatory overload. This is a difficult area. None of us knows precisely what…
