Gerald Ford

This amendment is jointly sponsored by myself, the majority leader, Senator Dole, the minority leader, Senator Daschle, and Senator Leahy. It provides $50 million for emergency antiterrorism assistance for Israel. This is the program…

I feel that it is incumbent upon me to let my colleagues know what the actual costs are and what the prospects of getting the money might be. Mr. President, under title II of the United States Code, it gives the Committee on Rules and…

Would the Senator have some idea how much legal expense by the individual witnesses--I saw a story in the paper today. We begin at $50,000 and $60,000 and $400,000, and individuals are being called before the Whitewater Committee that are…

That is somewhat different from the Ethics Committee or a grand jury investigation. When staff is called to go before the committee, to have representation, the Senate pays for that. The Senate furnishes attorneys. If the Senator himself…

It is the law--and let me underscore that now--it is the law. Both the Social Security law--it is attached to title XLII, section 911--and the Budget Act, title II, section 3631, mandate--and I underscore mandate--that ``the social…

Personally, his effort, the long hours and how hard he works. It is just like the distinguished Senator in the chair has indicated: We have a difference, and we need to let everything else go on while we settle that difference. And I…

No. It is my understanding that when you related to figures that you reduced the amount of reduction using $135 billion, that the White House on December 15th moved toward your figures--moved toward your figures on discretionary, moved…

I worked Saturday. I worked Sunday. I put in what I thought were long, hard days, and we moved toward you. And I congratulate you, you were moving toward us. I just thought we were on the right track rather than getting into the mess that…

Since he is the floor manager of the bill, regardless of whether cloture is voted tomorrow or not, what amendments and how many would he think we might have? Does he have a ballpark figure? There are a good many amendments that have been…

On our side. We are trying to put it together where we can get that agreement. It becomes very difficult. We understand that there is no budget out here. We are trying to get rescissions in this year's allowances. That cuts off a lot of…

Railroad employees are under Social Security. They have been transferred to the Social Security. The railroad retirement system has been merged with Social Security, and Social Security is the railroad retirement fund.

My father-in-law is a railroad retiree, and he gets his check from Social Security. Now, Mr. President, I do not know what it is, what kind of fund he has, but they did not have enough funds to take care of it and they turned it over to…

That would suit me fine, but I am trying to be--like my daddy told me, ``When you sell it and they ask you when do you want to be paid for it, say right now is fine.'' I have tried to accommodate the leader. Now you are trying to stick me…

I came to Washington about the so-called unfunded mandates. It was a little easier to take care of then than it is now because we had 12 years of Republicans who ran us from $900 million to over $4 trillion in debt in 12 years. It is a…

So they are saying to put it in the Senate bill to make the House comply with the rules of the bill we passed?

I, too, compliment the distinguished Senator from New Mexico for his amendment. As ranking member of the Rules Committee, I pledge to him that we will move forward to try to give him the kind of answers I think he wants and I support. So I…

I recognize that modified or substantially different proposals may more effectively meet the criteria of fairness, effectiveness and efficiency.

There is hereby established a Humanitarian Service Medal with accompanying ribbons and appurtenances for award by the Secretary of Defense or the Secretary of Transportation with regard to the Coast Guard when not operating as a Service in…

All the functions vested in the President by the International Investment Survey Act of 1976 are hereby delegated to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget.

It is a national paradox that at the same time public recognition and use of the humanities is increasing, the Nation's cultural institutions are finding it increasingly difficult to keep their doors open and their programs alive.

I am committed to solving the predator problem by environmentally acceptable means.

Subject to the provisions of section 1 of this order, and in the absence of any contrary delegation or direction by the Director, the Secretary of Commerce shall perform the functions set forth in sections 4 (a) (1), (2), (4) and 4 (b) of…

The regulations shall place the Humanitarian Service Medal in an order of precedence immediately after the Vietnam Service Medal.

I can think of no better cause for Federal involvement.

Solving the airport noise problem is an environmental imperative for the millions of Americans who live in neighborhoods around our major airports.
