yesterday's Buffalo News reported the forthcoming retirement of Buffalo, NY, Common Council President George K. Arthur, after four decades of public service. Mr. Arthur, who has been Common Council President since 1983, is a distinguished…

I would say by way of introduction that in the 103d Congress and then on the first day of the 104th Congress, I offered legislation that would basically break up the existing Central Intelligence Agency and return its component parts to…

Those are the remarks I would like to make, sir. I have the confidence that John Deutch, as a scientist, will follow them. I have the concern that the administration will not. We do know some things in social science. Mancur Olson, in his…

what we have is so much at variance with what was thought we would get. Allen Dulles was very much part of the foundation of postwar intelligence, having been in the OSS, served with great distinction in Switzerland during World War II…

the Op-Ed page of Friday's Washington Post featured an irresistible account by Philip Geyelin, ``When I Danced With Ginger Rogers.'' The occasion was the Gridiron Club dinner of March 28, 1981. With the advent of Ronald Reagan's presidency…

although there was considerable support for the legality of the provision, I thought it best to proceed with caution in these circumstances. These are matters of human rights under international law, on which we have rightly lectured…

as for criticism of the technical difficulties of the original proposal, I believe they can be satisfied. Indeed, I would venture that if some of those criticizing the provision's technical aspects had put even half as much effort into…

I wish to speak to the matter raised by the distinguished Senator from Massachusetts. We should not countenance the evasion of taxes by those who renounce their citizenship. The Senate should act to address this problem expeditiously. A…

The decision to drop the expatriation tax provision from the final conference version of the bill has been the subject of much debate over the last week. I certainly don't presume to speak for the other conferees. But for myself I repeat…

I would simply like to state for the Record the fact that the Committee on Finance, in dealing with the provisions on the payment of tax by persons who expatriate, was confronted by mixed assessments of the legality of such an action. The…

the fundamental right of American workers to strike was guaranteed over a half century ago with the enactment of the National Labor Relations Act of 1935. Section 13 of the NLRA states: Nothing in this act, except as specifically provided…

careful readers of the New York Times may have noticed something special below the nameplate on the front page of today's issue. Just beneath the familiar box--known as the left ear in newspaper parlance--announcing ``All the News That's…

New York and the Nation lost a most distinguished attorney, jurist, and public servant with the death on March 3 of the Honorable Vincent L. Broderick. Judge Broderick, or Vince as he was known to family and friends, was born in 1920 into…

my friend and colleague from New York has elucidated the travesty that befell Plattsburgh and our State 2 years ago. It was the most parochial of decisions made by that Commission, and one for which they will long be remembered. I still…

this will be the third and last of the papers I have presented to the Senate in opposition to House Joint Resolution 1, Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to require a balanced budget. In the first paper I…

on Monday I spoke to the Senate at some length describing the economic policies of the Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon administrations which were directed to the problems associated with persistent budget surpluses. It will no doubt surprise…

I rise today to honor the dean of Washington based New York reporters, Alan Emory. Mr. Emory, a writer for the Watertown Daily Times, has been covering Washington for the last 43 years. His personal style and fabled wisdom have allowed Mr…

this morning, in a room just off the Senate floor, a group representing over 450 of our Nation's most distinguished and respected economists--among them seven Nobel Laureates--gathered to express their profound and unequivocal opposition…

for a quarter century I have been involved with the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. I was a member of its first board of trustees in 1969, and served as vice chairman from 1971 to 1976. During the center's existence, five…

I rise to announce to the Senate that during the past week, 14 people were killed with firearms in New York City, bringing this year's total to 58. A recent national study released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention…

of the many novel ideas which we associate with the advent to office of Representative Newt Gingrich as Speaker of the House, none is more singular than his suggestion that we would all do well to read, or perhaps reread, ``The…

our Nation's Governors, mayors, and county executives have long sought relief from the imposition of unfunded mandates by the Federal Government. For too long, we have thought too little about the consequences of Federal decisions on the…

I rise today to continue my weekly practice of reporting to the Senate on the death toll by gunshot in New York City. Last week, 6 people lost their lives to bullet wounds in New York City, bringing this year's total to 27.

there are still many puzzles left unsolved from the cold war. Perhaps one of the most frustrating is the disappearance of Raoul Wallenberg. To this day, a full account of why Raoul Wallenberg was arrested and what has become of him is…

I was saying that we are in the midst of a regional crisis which could become a global crisis in very short order. Such are the speeds with which currency markets move at this time, such is the enormous amount of capital not controlled by…
