The Senator from Hawaii asked a very good question. At the time that Prudhoe Bay was developed, we did not have today's advanced technologies, such as horizontal drilling. We can access the oil and gas from the entire 1.5 million acre area…
This entire 19 million acre area is the size of South Carolina. Of that, 1.5 million acres was set aside as the Coastal Plain for oil and gas exploration. Of that 1.5 million acres area, we need just 2,000 acres to reach the vast amounts…
I cannot find any exception here for those flying between villages and not a hub. They are going to have to pay.
I ask my friend: They are required to buy a ticket to get on those commuters, and they pay the $2.50.
As the Senator knows, our State has over 150 small airports, and people go distances of 100 or 200 miles and return, or maybe stop in several places along the line. If these planes do not interline with intrastate air carriers and are…
The conference report includes funding for water projects in the Ketchikan Borough. While the project will be located in the borough, technically the funds would be administered by the city of Ketchikan. Does the distinguished ranking…
I must express my reservation until we reach an understanding about how this will impact the agreement we made with the Office of Management and Budget and with the House on this bill. It does add outyear expenditures, as I understand it…
I want to confer with the distinguished chairman of our committee, but we reached a firm agreement we would not exceed 686 for this year, and I do not know how that impacts taking on a bill that will start impacting 2003. What would be the…
I am very concerned over the National Organic Standards Board's recent recommendation to USDA that wild seafood not be eligible for organic labeling. This decision ignored the plain evidence on the record that most wild seafood, and wild…
Senator McConnell you are exactly right. The efforts by the foundation will not only utilize the vast resources of the private sector--but combine that with the experience and knowledge of the Department of State and the United States…
No--one must only show a need--from innocent victims of landmines to those with muscular dystrophy--the Wheelchair Foundation has a single mission of bringing mobility and independence to those who cannot walk.
Madam President there is a serious crisis in my home State of Alaska on the Kenai Peninsula, where literally millions of trees have been killed due to insect infestation. This is causing a major fire danger situation. Many homes and…
In 1983, at my request, we started the Army's infectious disease section to determine whether there could be a cure for AIDS or prevention of its transmission. Since that time, we have spent more money than all the world put together in…
Respectfully, that is not how I understood my discussion with the majority leader. We discussed doing this bill tonight. There will be a window. This is the night of the Republican dinner. Some of us have agreed to stay and debate the…
My question to the distinguished whip is plain and simple. Is the Senator from Nevada saying that the finite list of amendments to the Patients' Bill of Rights must be reached before we can get the finite list for the supplemental?
Is there some way to set a time limit so we can go to the House and let them know? They have schedules to meet, too. I urge that we have some way to get an agreement that we have this bill called up tonight and we debate any amendments…
I will bet no one present realizes that my State is larger than Spain, plus France, plus Germany, plus Italy. I would be willing to bet that we send more money to those areas than we spend in Alaska to meet the needs of the Americans who…
I want to publicly state I think we ought to thank our Creator for giving us the opportunity to serve in this body, and to have a period of time like we have just come through, where I have been able to speak for people of different…
I think we are getting down to the end. Today is not only the last day of the 106th Congress, but it is also the last day of Marshall Dove, who served in the Senate on the Republican Cloakroom staff. She has been here, now, for close to 3…
We all recognize the Senator's diligence in keeping the gambling industry out of Hawaii. Would I be correct then saying this provision would not have any impact on those cruise ships that begin or end their voyages in a foreign port or on…
Yesterday, this Senator completed 5 days of negotiations and finally got an agreement with the House and with everyone on how to lift the caps of the 1997 act. That did not take place because the Senator's side of the aisle objected at the…
I ask the Senator, if the President said we can only have 24 hours, does that mean within 24 hours we will have the full scope of his demands under the Appropriations Committee? We have not seen the full scope of the President's demands…
I would like to move forward with this Transportation bill. I urge my friend to allow us to do that because it is a significant bill, one of the most significant Transportation bills on which I have been privileged to work.
I believe that good will in the Senate now is needed to finish our job. The American people want us to do our job. Our job is to finish these 13 bills that finance the standing agencies of the Federal Government and to do so as quickly as…
I believe that the intent of Section 8138 was to require the Army to conduct an operational test of Stinger and Starstreak, not to impede sales of the Apache.
