I am pleased to agree with my colleague from Vermont on the importance of maintaining the defense investment in advanced lithography, including proximity x-ray lithography. In particular, the research and development that would be…

I was very pleased to accommodate my colleague's request on RAID. I agree with my colleague from Vermont on the importance of providing adequate funding for the National Guard Governors' State Counterdrug Plans and will keep his request in…

Yes, nothing in this bill will prevent the Army from using funds in the operations and maintenance account. These funds are not earmarked because the committee frowns upon earmarking this account. However, I will bring this issue to my…

Again, this is the same item discussed before. It is what I would call a preventive amendment and really instructs that the funds cannot be obligated to reduce the number of units of Special Forces in the Army National Guard for the year…

This is to increase the funding level available to the Maritime Technology Program to $50 million within the available research and development funds of the defensewide appropriations to provide for appropriate offsets, and it is an item…

I have never seen any Senator--and I would challenge anyone to show me--that any Senator filibustering has ever held up a bill that is in the interest of national security. This is the most important bill we pass every Congress to maintain…

I can assure the leader that we will find an agreement on the Coast Guard bill. It is a very essential bill. I also state that there is no question about it, it has some very new initiatives, good new initiatives.

I think that there is no greater issue facing the country today than the amount and level of support for our armed services and the people in Bosnia. I think the uncertainty involved here is going to lead to some real problems.

I am saddened that this bill has been delayed so far. There are inquiries now coming from Members who are in the area affected by Hurricane Bertha. So I am quite hopeful that the Senate will proceed to consider this bill expeditiously. I…

I support reforming the current system to improve the quality of service and achieve cost reductions. However, I believe that the moving industry needs to participate in these discussions in a meaningful way. I believe that the fiscal year…

I applaud the efforts of the Senate Armed Services Committee to reform the Military Traffic Management Command's personal property reengineering program. I am concerned that MTMC's plan does not adequately address the concerns of the small…

He has been a great friend of mine. I have been on the floor before to say how I felt about Bob Dole. I have also remarked about the fact that he has also been a great friend of the State I represent. He assisted us greatly in the passage…

As the Supreme Court has stated, just as the separation and independence of the coordinate branches of the Federal Government serves to prevent the accumulation of excessive power in any one branch, a healthy balance of power between the…

The Senator from Colorado raises important issues regarding the NTF and I can assure him I will work in the conference committee to address this issue. I also take this opportunity to thank the Senator from Colorado for his diligent…

Just one comment further. It is my understanding that the figure is the House figure on those disputed items which are in conference with the Senate. That is the Senator from Oregon's real objection to this procedure.

The difficulty is--I have not spoken directly with the Senator from Oregon, but he has sent to me his concerns as chairman of the Appropriations Committee that what this does is it pulls out of some bills, as the leader said, provisions…

I know the challenges the Senator from Hawaii faces in trying to meet the needs of native communities in the State of Hawaii, and I therefore understand full well his desire to clarify the meaning of 'Native American households'. When I…

The technologies the Senator has mentioned sound promising. I commend DOD and USACERL for their work in this area and encourage the Department to continue such innovative work.

I am aware of the application of innovative remediation technologies at numerous DOD sites throughout the country. I appreciate the thoughtful comments of the Senator from Michigan on the Army Corps' work and bringing it to my attention.

I thank my good friend for spelling out the details of the impact of this amendment. It will come as good news for the Alaska Railroad Corporation as well as the people of Alaska who rely heavily on this unique rail system.

Mr. President, to address the concern raised by Senator Bryan and the majority leader, I wish to announce that the Subcommittee on Post Office and Civil Service, which I chair, has scheduled hearings on Federal pension plans for Monday…

I thank the Senator for that explanation. My final question is whether the owner or operator of a product, such as a tank which contains oil, who is sued following an environmental accident may sue the manufacturer of the ship or tank…

Recognizing that we have a difficult conference before us, and that funds are desperately short, let me assure the Senator from New York that we will do what we can in joint conference to hold the Senate position and to protect his…

I will answer my colleague by saying that the results of this study are long overdue and may not be available until June, 1995.

The Enterprise Development Program in AID is funding the development of private enterprises in Russia, not the Russian Government. This is consistent with the goal of strengthening the developing entrepreneur class in Russia. This…
