I would just like to say all I really want is a vote and for some time have tried to make the case why we do need to have general aviation product liability. I would make the case also, Mr. President, it is germane to S. 4. S. 4 is an…

I would first like to add to what the Senator from Indiana said regarding the majority leader, Senator Mitchell. In his leadership he has always been fair, always patient, and always intellectually challenging. I am sure when he decides to…

later this year, the Senate will take up the issue of welfare reform. I know this is a high priority to the chairman of the Finance Committee, Senator Moynihan, who has long been a leader on the question of welfare and delivering support…
