I think those are excellent. Again, as I noted, we have a refugee limit that's much higher than what we've been fulfilling the last couple of years.

We will put that in the record if that is acceptable to you to put in the record and it won't hurt them further.

I am pleased to report the success of a bipartisan effort in which Senators, Members of the House, their key staff aides and a broad variety of religious and human rights groups have engaged. This effort has produced a greatly strengthened…

We don't want them really to beat us to the moon, and instead we'd rather be there and be able to develop the resources, the areas, the sweet spots for observation.

We have the Chinese now going into space and saying that they're interested in going to the moon. We don't want them really to beat us to the moon, and instead we'd rather be there and be able to develop the resources, the areas, the sweet…

ours is a remarkable Nation. America is the home to 90 of the top 100 universities. Americans work an average of 300 hours more per year than our friends in Europe. More patents are applied for in this Nation each year than in all of the…

the number speaks for itself. Absolutely, this is a mainstream judge. When you get approved on that percentage of your cases that you have ruled on--remember, this is at the district court level, so he is both finding fact and applying…

This has been a 40-year debate, and we have engaged and embarked on a great debate about which these judges are front and center, and it is potentially a collision course, some may say, between those who believe in God and that He has a…

Absolutely. That is the point. We will be in such a mammoth fight and engaging the entire country with this, how will you ever get that person through? It does go to this constitutional case that is being considered by the Supreme Court…

Isn't this a much bigger issue than the appointees? Those law changes were bigger than filibustering one law. This is about the impact on all of society, on a whole culture.

I urge its passage. I urge usage of the Syria Accountability Act by the President. Several of these issues have already been covered. I wish to address them with some specificity by saying 43 and counting--43 and counting. That is the…

I rise to honor Dr. S. King Sanders, who passed away October 30, 2003. I hope my colleagues will join me in expressing condolences to his family in this great loss. King Sanders left a worthy and memorable legacy for his wife, Rose; his…

the Senate Agriculture appropriations bill only includes $25 million for the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program. The Bush administration has said that $25 million is not a level adequate to achieve…
