I have been around this body, the Senate, and the House long enough to see frequently when Members announce their retirement, then you hardly ever see them participating in anything. It says something about the personal character of David…

I am pleased to be part of the school-to-work opportunities proposal. I want to commend Senator Kennedy for his leadership. Senator Kassebaum at this point is not supporting it but she has been great in the education matters generally. I…

I would like at this point to address the amendment offered by my friend from Washington, who is a solid substantial Member of this body. But once in a while he can go astray, just like once in a while Paul Simon can go astray, or even…

The answer is I may be. We are checking out the Senator's amendment with the Departments of Labor and Education to get their reaction. I have not had a chance to read the amendment yet. I do not know if my colleague from Massachusetts has…

Thank you, Mr. President. I agree with everything he said. There is all sweetness and light. It will not be all sweetness and light when we get to these amendments. But what we are asking is on that voluntary basis, and the Senator from…

First of all, all we are doing is asking for the extension of existing law. We are not increasing numbers; we are not changing anything like that. Both the State Department and INS have indicated informally they have no objection to this…

first, I want to praise our colleague from Wyoming. The Immigration and Refugee Subcommittee has three members, and both Senator Simpson and Senator Kennedy have just done yeoman service, and it is a subcommittee where you have to say no…
