I want to draw special attention today to six young woman from northern Kentucky. These six young women from the Licking Valley Girl Scout Council are recipients of the Girl Scout Gold Award--the highest achievement a Girl Scout can earn…

this amendment bothers me and many of my colleagues very much. As my friend from Nevada has said, we were briefed. After that briefing, there was no objection whatsoever. Now we want, without any other consideration--many of us not having…

So, Mr. President it has been the response of what you put on the web not what the Secret Service put on the web and therefore is a political grandstand.

On the Worldwide Web the Senator is talking about, that you got 1,300 responses, and so forth, did they respond to your explanation of Pennsylvania Avenue or were they responding to the Secret Service's explanation of closing it?

I am sure that we all have high standards for accuracy on this floor, and therefore I wish to comment on certain statements which have been made in recent days. On June 7, the junior Senator from Oklahoma mistakenly represented that the…

As the Senator from Georgia noted, all three amendments are similar. The Senator from Oklahoma says the Danforth and Nunn amendments are 'exactly the same thing.' Yet last year he voted against the Johnston amendment, which also dealt with…

I have since had time to review the Record, and found that both resolutions inserted into the Record by the Senator from Oklahoma were incorrect. In other words, neither of the resolutions which he put into the Record were actually voted…

Second, Madam President, the Senator from Oklahoma and I had an exchange on the Senate floor because after I heard him quote from my 1994 floor statement, I believe he was quoting my statement in an inaccurate and distorting manner. The…

Lastly, Madam President, let me just note that every provision of the Constitution is subject to interpretation. I am sure that the Senator from Oklahoma does not agree with every Supreme Court decision interpreting the words of the…

But you would be able to use the funds held in trust, for example, T-bills, to balance the budget according to the budgetary professionals on your side.

And it is the same question you asked the Senator from North Dakota. The reason we did, they were excluding Social Security. We had a firm commitment they were excluding Social Security. Now we have a guarantee that you are going to use…

I regret, once again, the junior Senator from Oklahoma has resorted to a personal attack and distortion of my record on the balanced budget amendment.

by ``IOU's'' you are talking about T-bills that are paid to constituents like you and me. We might be down to the E bonds or the smaller ones but the T-bills are the IOU's in there, and we have by law sold them or loaned that money to the…

Mr. President, I want to give you and the Chamber a page number. I see the staff. They can go back and go through it. It was page S2058 of the March 1, 1994, Congressional Record. I wish the Senator from Oklahoma would have actually read…

we never got an answer from the junior Senator from Oklahoma as to whether Senator Nunn's amendment was in the last one. He says they are identical, and they cannot be identical if Senator Nunn's amendment was included. It would not have…

No, you quoted others saying ``looting,'' and now the Senator from Wyoming is using the words ``IOU's'' for T-bills. It is just a matter of how you express yourself.

Knowing the Senator from Wyoming, he will not have to take his money with him. He can write a check where he is going. I am very concerned that we talk about IOU's and they are really the bills. We talk about raiding and, no, we are not…

Is there anything to prevent a majority from voting to include Social Security trust funds in the operation of the budget of the United States?

I believe the Senator would agree that once a constitutional amendment is passed--and it will not take years to pass the balanced budget amendment--once a balanced budget amendment is passed and it amends the Constitution, then it is this…

this is what has been going on in this Senate Chamber for some time now. You attempt to put in certain things to substantiate your position, but you do not tell it all. You put in a piece of legislation that was printed, but you never put…

What I want to know is, is there any way to prevent a majority vote from using the Social Security trust funds as a part of reducing the deficit for balancing the budget?

Well, once an amendment to the Constitution has been ratified by the States, is it not the responsibility, then, of this body and the House to implement, by law, that amendment?

we will say that everything my friend has said is accurate. I do not question his sincerity or his statements. We will take it from that point on. Under statutory provisions, we cannot use Social Security funds as it relates to deficits…

we probably all have been guilty at one time or another of getting a little carried away on the Senate floor when we are trying to present our position on an issue. I think we saw a little bit of that yesterday by those of us who want to…

first, let me thank all my colleagues that have been on the floor this morning making statements relating to the Race for the Cure and the effort that is being made in that interest in eradication of breast cancer. I also thank the Chair…
