the Kansas City area, our national past time of baseball, and everyone who admires courage and grit suffered a tragic loss yesterday. Dan Quisenberry, former relief ace for the Kansas City Royals, lost his battle with brain cancer at the…

I want to come at this in a little different approach. In 1992, I was the user of census products in the reapportionment in our State legislature in Kansas. We have talked about an accuracy rate back in 1990 of 98.4 percent. I think that…

Again I just want to reiterate, what we are trying to do here is to make sure that there are sufficient penalties in the law to deter people from committing campaign finance law violations. Thus far, we have put a system of fines in place…

For 20 years the United States has had a consistent policy toward the dispute between China and Taiwan. We have long acknowledged that China's position is there is one China and that Taiwan is a part of China, but we have never endorsed…

we currently have discretion of the judge to grant between zero jail time and 1 year. I think that the fact that there is a possibility of no jail time still would weaken any campaign finance law that we have to pass. I think it is…

the gentleman is accurate that there is within the discretion of the Department of Justice the ability to take on one of these campaign finance cases without a referral, as the gentleman indicated with the deadlock. The gentleman is also…

I strongly support the main intent of this bill, namely to restrain entitlement growth and balance the Federal budget. That is why I voted for the budget resolution in May as well as for this bill when it was approved by the House earlier…

the Clinton administration and U.N. allies say that the American taxpayer ought to pay arrearages now and wait for reform later because the dues are legal obligations of our government. The obligations go both ways. Part of the bargain of…

With that in mind, I think we ought to look to a concern that Americans do have about the United Nations and look toward reform. I heard a number of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle as we have gone through the debate today talk…

It is appropriate that during Teacher Appreciation Week we pause to recognize the finest of those who have made positive differences in our lives and who likewise shaped the futures of our children and grandchildren. It is my pleasure to…

Last week was Victims' Rights Week, but our memories of the victims of crime should not be restricted to a single week of the year, nor should our determination to deal appropriately with violent criminals be limited to lofty speeches and…

I will talk specifically about juvenile offenders, because it is amazing to me that Washington is just now catching on to get tough on juvenile crime laws. We did that in Kansas last year. We often think Washington has the answers to all…
