Under section a(1), it provides that no Member or spouse may knowingly accept a gift provided directly or indirectly by lobbyists. And it goes on to say in subsection (c), that the following items are subject to the restrictions as…

it is with pleasure that I introduce to the United States Senate Madam Wu Yi, the Minister of Foreign Trade from the People's Republic of China, who is standing in the back of the Chamber. She is a very distinguished Minister who is…

these amendments are as follows: First of all, there are boundary modifications as follows: We delete the Great Falls Wilderness designation and retain that area in wilderness study status. The second amendment modifies the boundaries of…

I commend the Senator from Wyoming for a very powerful statement on the subject of the starvation, from a budgetary standpoint, of the national parks. He is surely, surely correct on that issue. Mr. President, I hope all of my colleagues…

I understand the Senator's answer to be yes, that he does agree with me that this would enhance the bargaining power of Catellus if the amendment of the Senator from Utah passes.

with respect to the statement that the Secretary of the Interior, Mr. Babbitt, was described as making to the effect that if they do not sell to us at the price we want, then we will let them remain in inholding forever, the context of the…

this amendment adds a new title at the end of S. 21. The amendment incorporates the text of a bill which has been reported out of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee overwhelmingly and awaits passage here. I know of no objection to…

I rise in strong support of the bill and in opposition, reluctant opposition, to the amendment of my friend from Wyoming. As I said this morning, his point, which is that the National Park Service is underfunded at this time, is a very…

My question is if in order to have a national park you must acquire 90 percent of the private lands and if almost two-thirds of the private lands are owned by one corporation, could not that corporation by withholding its consent to sell…

I ask the Senator a second question and maybe even a more salient question which is, as a businessman if the Senator from Utah was in the position of the Catellus Corp., keeping in mind they would have this ability to veto this national…

On Sunday, March 13 New Orleans lost one of our most beloved, respected and well known jazz greats, Mr. Danny Barker. A member of one of New Orleans' famous musical families, the Barbarin Family, Danny Barker began his career playing music…

I wish to again commend Senator Bumpers' for his years of hard work on this important legislation. As the subcommittee chairman, he has drafted this legislation, conducted the hearings, and negotiated the compromise that we are passing…

I have nothing further except to, again, commend the Senator from Arkansas for his long and finally successful quest to reform something that I think not only needed reforming but has been, in this bill, reformed in a very constructive…

S. 208 as reported from the Energy and Natural Resources Committee would reform the process by which the National Park Service awards contracts to private persons or corporations who seek to do business inside our national parks. The…

I rise to speak in support of title VI of S. 4, the National Competitiveness Act of 1994. Title VI establishes the Information Technology Applications Act of 1994. This act amends and builds on the High-Performance Computing Act of 1991…

I rise in support of a balanced budget but against the balanced budget amendment. The reason is that I believe this amendment, if passed, would have precisely the opposite effect of that for which it is intended. The amendment is not to go…

my distinguished colleague with his piercing legal mind and his reverence for the Constitution has identified one of the core problems, which is that this amendment would not just rewrite budgetary matters in this country; it rewrites the…

These are funds that the Department of Energy has retained for purposes of terminating AVLIS--the atomic vapor laser isotope separation program--if the United States Enrichment Corporation decides not to build a commercial AVLIS plant…

When we wrote to Mr. Panetta, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, about this last November, he assured us that "The administration feels that there are considerable balances remaining on the DOE account that have not been…

The Department of Energy. Research and development on AVLIS have been the Department's responsibility. Any termination expenses will be the Department's liability.

The Corporation has no legal obligation to pay the termination costs. The Energy Policy Act is clear on these matters. The Department of Energy remains responsible for liabilities attributable to the operation of the uranium enrichment…

I rise to speak in opposition to the Helms amendment relative to China MFN. I would like to say at the outset that I feel very strongly, as I think every Senator in this Chamber feels, that human rights is the hallmark of this country. It…

A final point. Is this the last bit of ``leverage'' we have? In the first place, I think a continuation of the embargo is reverse leverage. It is not actual leverage because it would operate in reverse against us. But beyond that, Mr…

I stand here today to ask for dropping of the embargo not because I care less about the MIA's or the POW's or their families, but because the best way to get further information for MIA's and POW's is to drop the embargo. There is no doubt…
