Every course of action has a high degree of risk and is not guaranteed to succeed. But I think that there has to be a process that will force the Iraqis to make the difficult decisions they have so far refrained from making.

We have had about 7 or 8 Republican speeches, and only one Democrat has had a chance to speak. I will not want to suggest the standard of equal time. But we ought to be able to get some time.

The special counsel in the Whitewater case, who was appointed following the demands of many of our Republican colleagues is himself a Republican, a prominent Republican, whose appointment was praised by our colleagues. The distinguished…

In fact, it is the opposite of what I have said. I have said right at this place for months and in other places that we are going to have hearings and we are going to meet our responsibilities. The question is, would we do it in a…

What conceivable rationale is there for presenting this resolution today other than to get in a few more licks at the President when we know the meeting is going to be held tomorrow, following which we hopefully will have some idea of what…

First, let me say that from the outset, in repeated public statements here on the Senate floor and in other public places, I have insisted that the Congress has an important oversight responsibility, which it will meet. I will do all I can…

I rise today to honor this outstanding young man who was killed in the line of duty, and who has been awarded posthumously the Medal of Honor by President Clinton.

I have read both documents, and I will vote ``no'' I urge all of my colleagues to do so. First, there is no disagreement on our objective. It is a peaceful and fair resolution of the conflict raging in that region. Second, it is to obtain…

today the Senate honors the memory of 1\1/2\ million Armenians murdered between 1915 and 1923. Each year we stop to reflect on this heinous crime and remember it with the hope that no future generation will be subjected to such a cruel…

We hope very much that the Secretary will continue to use enplanement data that is relevant to the domestic aviation system when determining hub airports for EAS purposes. Such data includes passengers who actually board a flight operated…
