I believe it is important to have access to all the evidence before reaching a conclusion on the issue of impeachment.

I say to the Senator from Colorado he has been a leader in this effort on Members of Congress not receiving a COLA, and did put this in the bill that came from the Senate. That was the Senate provision, that there would not be a COLA for…

This is an amendment that basically seeks to preserve tribal Indian land as a cemetery and burial ground in Kansas City, KA. It is a very contentious issue there. But this is and has been an Indian burial ground since 1855. There are plans…

I just think it is not an appropriate thing for us to approve, or to allow a tribe, this one in Oklahoma, to acquire this land and put a casino on what has been a tribal ancestral burial ground. I think it is sacrilegious for that to…

I will take those suggestions to heart and will see if we can work something out. Let me again say one more time, this chairman--anybody in Washington, DC, watching this should be thankful for what he has done in stepping up and solving a…

I find it a terribly tough call to make on this treaty; a tough one to be able to decide what is in the best interest and ultimately what will get the fewest chemical weapons used in this world. That to me is the real litmus test issue…

I have reluctantly but clearly concluded that Iran would be more likely to obtain and use chemical weapons if we enter into this Chemical Weapons Convention with article X in place... I have, unfortunately, reluctantly yet clearly, decided…

I must rise in opposition to certifying Mexico as complying with our drug-trafficking efforts... The fact is section 490 of the Foreign Assistance Act requires that the President certify that Mexico has cooperated fully with the United…

Our amendment had put forward particular safeguarding procedures to try to encourage there to be an agreement between the United States and the United Nations on any sort of sharing of information and that we tighten up that procedure…

Well, I would think that it would make absolute sense to clean up the highest priority ones first. But I want to inquire of the gentleman of one. Does the gentleman think when we clean up an environmental site that we should pay more to…

If I can ask another question, and I am just giving you this hypothetical question, if this was your company and this was your core product that you had to have good results out of, and you were having these sort of results, they would not…

I think we would have renewed our cities, encouraged job creation, and provided decent, safe shelter for low-income Americans.

The myth that was created, I want to read these off, it was on the front line of Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty, charged with renewing our cities, encouraging job creation, providing decent, safe shelter for low-income Americans. We…

It helps by virtue of allowing the key foreign policy leader for this country who the President has appointed, the Secretary of State, the added flexibility to be able to say in a time of declining budget, ``I have this as a higher…

What we are saying in this bill is, let us let the State Department itself pick and choose which would be the most effective now, at this point in time, so that they could implement what Secretary Baker and what Secretary Christopher have…

Yes, to be able to allow farmers to decide themselves what they want to plant rather than somebody that is planning for this out of the centralized bureaucracy in Washington telling my dad and my brother what they can plow on their…

What I think he is doing that is so important is we are moving to balance the budget. These are then tough choices that we have to make. We are having a good discussion, I think, of a tough choice. Here is a program that has been very…

Look, we have tried it, and we have really tried it. It is time to move on, and let us try something different that we think really can work and can be liberating to the people across the country, and you are seeing it take place from this…
