Nancy Kassebaum

As it is defined in the Senator's amendment, ``displaced homemaker'' would be anyone who has been on welfare and has a child under the age of 16?

I value his support and his advice and his belief that this is a very important piece of legislation. As Senator Kennedy said, it is probably something that not a lot of people have thought about. It will not cause people to be sitting on…

Since funding under this bill is very tight, I agree not to offer the amendment, with the understanding that $10 million in additional funding will be sought in conference with the House for the purpose of establishing this fund. I also…

That is right, the competitive bidding is based on quality and cost effectiveness.

Last night my colleague from Kansas, Senator Dole, received the prestigious Eisenhower Leadership Prize in recognition of his distinguished service to the United States. I have long admired Senator Dole for his leadership and dedicated…

We can debate the differing interpretations of Japanese labor law, but I do think it is different. I just wanted to say that I think it is unfair to compare the two.

This is not about the Contract With America. This is not about whose side one is on. I would say to the Senator from Wisconsin, what this is about is the ability of the President, by an Executive order, to change the labor law of the land…

I certainly join with the Senator from Rhode Island, the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Pell, in expressing sympathy to the families in his eloquent tribute to those who did lose their lives today over Iraq.

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…

I express appreciation to the Republican leader for his thoughtful comments. This is not an inconsequential nomination, and as the Senator from Massachusetts pointed out earlier, the National Labor Relations Board is a very important body…

But I would like to particularly respond to the Senator from Massachusetts talking about Professor Gould's role as an arbitrator. An arbitrator's role is very different from that of the chairman of the National Labor Relations Board. An…

At the time I expressed reservations about the Gramm-Rudman bill because it excluded some significant spending. In fact, a major portion of the spending was excluded and I felt Gramm-Rudman would not, as a matter of fact, accomplish what…

While we may differ on the support ultimately of this legislation, I, too, wish to commend the Senator from Minnesota for his very constructive approach on the school-to-work legislation. As Senator Durenberger outlined, he talked to many…

I do intend to vote against this bill, and my opposition is based on my conviction that it compounds rather than corrects the deficiencies of current Federal job training efforts. Just consider the fact that we already have 154 separate…

I believe the difficulty today is in developing a spoken prayer that recognizes the diversity of religious beliefs in this country and is constitutional. In the past, we have debated the issue of a moment of silence in which students can…

I agree with the Senator from New Hampshire on that. It is not language I necessarily think is necessary. It is not mandatory language, as you know. It is only there as a voluntary guideline. I share the Senator's concern because I think…

Nothing is more important in my mind than local control; a community being able, and parents being able to have a direct voice in the type of education that their students are receiving. So I would beg to differ with the Senator from New…
