Senator Kohl declared that the judicial confirmation process should not be about politics. In a quote in the Congressional Record of 1997, Senator Kohl said: We need these judges both to prosecute and sentence violent criminals and to…

The point is the bill is not moving because your side is objecting to what is a normal process here in the conference.

I appreciate the passion by which the Senator from California approaches this issue. I would like to have her attention for a few moments because she is most sincere in what she says. Forest scientists--not a year ago--5 years ago, were…

As I told Senator Bingaman, I agree that this is a serious issue and I have been working hard on resolving the problem myself. I appreciate the concerns of Senator Baucus and McCain and thank them for not offering their amendment. This…

what we are about to conclude tonight is a 3- to 4-year effort on the part of many folks of good will on both sides of the aisle to bring some modicum of change. This is not a giant leap forward. This is a cautious, careful step to assure…

I have been in the San Bernardino and so have you. For 15 years that forest has gone relatively untouched. So I appreciate the Senator's passion. What we have tried to strike here is a balance. The picture I am demonstrating is not unlike…

I will be brief. The Senator from New Mexico makes eminently good sense. There is no question that we have a funding problem. I have spoken with the Assistant Secretary and the Chief. I chair the Forestry Subcommittee and the committee on…

I have come to the floor on more than one occasion over the last 5 years to discuss and debate the issue of climate change. Many of us engaged in this issue believe it to be a serious and important issue. That I cannot deny. The Senator…

The reality is, our industrial growth is climbing. Its emissions have rapidly dropped. The emission today of greenhouse-like gases, as we would argue, do not come from our industrial base. Yet this is where we send our regulatory effort. I…

I have stated several times on the floor of the Senate that climate change is one of the most significant issues of our time. I have not changed my view. I come to the floor of the Senate today to both compliment my colleagues, Senators…

before the ranking member of the Agriculture Committee sits down, I would be more than happy to include the protection of all the old growth in the Federal forests of Iowa in this bill, if it existed. Or maybe we could put a prohibition…

I thank Chairman McConnell for the hard work he has put into the Fiscal Year 2004 Foreign Operations and Related Agencies Appropriations bill. It is a challenging process, and he has done an excellent job balancing competing interests…

I come to the Chamber to express my profound sorrow to the families in southern California who have lost their homes and some who have lost their loved ones during this conflagration of fire. I extend my sympathy to the millions of…

I stand here as cosponsor of the first- degree amendment and offered the second-degree amendment to modify it slightly. But I certainly join with my colleague from North Dakota on this issue, as do many of our colleagues, in recognizing…

as a Senator frustrated by this situation, I rise today to respond to comments made by my colleague from New Mexico, Mr. Bingaman, regarding the Healthy Forest Restoration Act, H.R. 1904. I appreciate Mr. Bingaman's attention to this issue…
Oct 20, 2003
that is the issue before us today. It is an issue that this Senate ought to debate. I plead with my colleagues on the other side to work with us to get this bill to the floor for purposes of debate and passage.
Oct 20, 2003
I must tell you it is phenomenally frustrating to me that we have worked on this issue in a totally bipartisan mode since the day it came from the House and, yet, there is still objection from the other side on this issue. The bill brought…

the focus of National Public Lands Day, 2003, is to improve and conserve our Nation's forests, grasslands, plains, rivers, streams and wetlands. As last year, we can expect tens of thousands of volunteers to join our dedicated land…

I thought I would spend a few moments this morning talking about an impending crisis that is offshore of the east coast at this moment that may well be headed our way. Hurricane Isabel could well make its way into this region and do great…

today I am introducing ``The Home School Non-discrimination Act'' (HONDA). This bill would clarify several existing Federal statutes which inadvertently exclude home schoolers. I am pleased the Senator Allen is joining me in sponsoring…
Jul 30, 2003
I will speak briefly to the Feingold- Brownback amendment. There is the illusion, or at least the concern, on the part of some of our colleagues that the title we have before the Senate in S. 14 somehow creates a type of regulatory gap…
Jul 30, 2003
I simply say to the Senator that to sustain the goodwill that he needs to, he will work the bill, but when there are time agreements of 3 hours, this Senator will object to adding more time.

We are now involved in a national energy policy debate that will run through the balance of next week. I thank to Senator Domenici... one of the true problems in our country today is the failure to keep our energy production levels up with…

the reason I ask for this privilege is to speak to my colleagues in the Senate about two families in Idaho who have just lost their sons fighting wildfires. My sympathy to the families of Jeff Allen of Salmon, ID, and Shane Heath of the…

We all went home during the Fourth of July break to celebrate a birthday, the birthday of our great Nation. We gathered with family and friends. We set off fireworks. Some Members were in parades. It was all about a birthday, the birthday…
