I think there will be a substantial transfer of power. I think France is going to ask in not so many direct words for the United States to eat a bit of humble pie.

We're in this war, and it's a difficult position for us. But a lot is at stake and much will affect France, Germany and the entire industrialized world.

Well, it shouldn't come as a surprise. We've known for some time that there are terror cells in the United States, al Qaeda, and others. And so, it shouldn't be greeted as some alarming news. We've known it for some time. The question is…

I think we should plan on mow, plan on a worst-case scenario so that if it's a better case, you're so much better off than if you start with a lower estimate what you need and then have to increase it.

We have to have one national security policy. And I believe Democrats as well as Republicans have to come together and support this effort to go forward.

We have to persuade the governing council and the factions that they represent that this is in their interest that they come together and stop any warring within, internal dissent.

And I felt that the ax, as such, when it fell spoke for itself.

As the Senator from Michigan has already explained, the provision allowing the court to appoint Mr. Fiske as an independent counsel under the statute would have no effect on anyone's eligibility to obtain attorney fees. Whom the court…

I commend my friend from Michigan, Senator Levin, who has over the years been in the forefront of trying to not only deal with issues of substance but also those of appearance, which are often of equal importance, particularly when it…

while health care reform is being debated in the Nation's Capital and in the homes of every American family, we must not overlook one of the most critical issues to the elderly and nonelderly disabled Americans--access to affordable and…

it is acceptable to the minority as well. I might at least point out that there appears to be some ambiguity in the existing law in terms of who may contribute how much to legal defense funds. So whatever ambiguity is in existing law, this…

I think this debate has pointed out the difficulty we are all trying to come to grips with. We are looking for symmetry between what we can do as candidates and what we can do as Senators. But there is no symmetry. The Senate has gone on…

I think the Senator from Texas has made a valuable contribution to this debate. As I indicated last evening, the committee's substitute for the original Lautenberg-Wellstone amendment is not a perfect product. It has certain ambiguities…

As I understood the original amendment, the Senator took the $20 out and made it zero.

I join Senator Levin in accepting the compromise that has been reached on this amendment. All of us are concerned about not making the postemployment restrictions so severe that they would discourage good people, talented people from…

Yet, I think there will be some apprehension if this legislation gets passed as to whether those types of trips are the right thing to do. At the same time those trips are very different from travelling to golf tournaments or tennis…

apparently there is a perception among some in the American public that Congress is for sale--that for the price of a steak dinner or a fruit basket at Christmas, Members would change votes or give greater access than would otherwise be…

The institute invited Soviet scholars and politicians to help us better understand what was going on in the Soviet Union. They sponsored a trip that Senator Levin and I took with Senator Simpson to Moscow for several days to meet with…

I think we can all see from the tone and tenor of the debate that this is a serious subject. Earlier today, I suggested that some people in this country might feel that influence can be gained through the purchase of a fruit basket or…

I am submitting a sense-of-the Senate resolution addressing the controversy surrounding the National Cancer Institute's recent policy statement questioning the effectiveness of mammography screening for women between the ages of 40 to 49…

I think it reflects a sense of desperation. I think what Senator Dole and the cosponsors of the amendment are indicating is that they have looked at all the options, there does not seem to be any other options and, therefore, let us take…

I also thank the chairman. However, I understand that the term ``enplanement'' as used in section 419 is not specifically defined. Instead, the Department of Transportation uses data compiled by the FAA and published in ``Airport Activity…

I agree with my colleague. As an example, Bangor International Airport in Maine provides transit services to many foreign air carriers that need to refuel in the United States before completing flights to other points in the United States…

I am sending this amendment to the desk on behalf of myself and Senator Kerrey of Nebraska. Two weeks ago the Senate debated the proposal to amend the Constitution to require a balanced budget. I regret that the proposal was rejected…

Mr. President, I think the Senator from Nebraska has proposed a very sound and sensible sense-of-the-Senate resolution and points out the fact that we have had a chaotic situation in our Federal building program. Last year, I requested…
