I am not raising an objection to the Senate's approval of S. Res. 122 regarding the transfer of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic to the United Nations war crimes tribunal. It is clear that the primary purpose of the resolution…
I stand tonight in full support of the decision of George W. Bush to nominate him to become Deputy Secretary. I do that because I know Steven Griles and I know he will do it when he looks me in the eye and he looks Senator Wyden in the eye…
While I wish gray wolves did not reside in my State, they do, and they are not going away. Thus, I believe the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service must be pro-active and aggressive in addressing issues related to the monitoring of the wolf…
First, the Bush administration is not advocating drilling in all of the monuments of the lower 48 States. That is a falsehood. What is important to say is that the Bush administration is proposing an energy policy that would open up public…
the Senator who is just leaving the floor needs to know that $34 or $33 million represents about 30 cents a letter. I think both he and I wish we could send out any kind of campaign solicitation for 33 cents or 30 cents a letter. It seems…
recently the Air Force revealed as part of its programmed budget decision its plan to cut the B-1B force structure by more than one-third. This has a substantial impact on a variety of Air Force bases that currently have a B-1B mission…
I ask him to read my sense of the Senate. It has nothing to do with taxes at this moment. His underlying argument that the responsibility for MSAs, when you are making substantive changes in current law, is a finance responsibility and a…
The Senate finds: (1) Medical savings accounts eliminate bureaucracy and put patients in control of their health care decisions. (2) Medical savings accounts extend coverage to the uninsured. According to the Treasury Department, one-third…
I had planned up until an hour ago to offer a detailed amendment on medical savings accounts that I think fits appropriately into any discussion about patient's rights in this country. The first and foremost right is access to health care…
the hour is late, but the Kyl amendment is important. There is no sham here at all. It is the marketplace at work--voluntarily to provide the employee with options. The employer must provide health care programs if they are going to…
I rise today with Senator Conrad to introduce the National Rural Development Partnership Act of 2001--a bill to codify the National Rural Development Partnership, NRDP or the Partnership, and provided a funding source for the program, I am…
I am very pleased that the tax reconciliation package we have passed today contains an amendment that I offered along with Senator Landrieu. That amendment is the text of the Hope for Children Act, which we introduced back in January as S…
I am honored to lend my support as an original cosponsor to the Cuban Solidarity Act of 2001. As many of us here know, the Cuban Solidarity Act of 2001 goes beyond what the original Helms-Burton Act of 1996 sought to accomplish. Not only…
Tax relief is an important component of that budget and an important issue to the American people. As a matter of fundamental fairness, the most heavily taxed generation in America's history, in my opinion, deserves tax relief. There is…
let me wrap up. With the passage of the budget resolution, and now with the beginning of the work of the Finance Committee to produce a tax bill, we are clearly receiving the message from the American people. We are acting on their goal…
This Senator's amendment would not cut any program. It would allow continued funding at that level. It does not reward by allowing the increases in the spending. That is what is important. The Senator from Massachusetts mentioned that…
As you know and certainly now as our country knows, for this week and until we have concluded, we are focused on the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and the important role it plays in the future education of…
I did submit a resolution as chairman of the Senate Aging Committee to recognize May as Older Americans Month, as we have for 38 years, saying that this is the official month during which we pay tribute to the contributions of 44 million…
I am very pleased to stand with my friend and colleague, Senator Pete Domenici, as an original cosponsor of the Nuclear Energy Electricity Supply Assurance Act of 2001. Following on the heels of the introduction of the comprehensive energy…
As I said, I am pleased to rise today to support introduction of the National Energy Security Act of 2001. At the request of the Majority Leader during the last Congress, Senator Murkowski and other Senators began the process of developing…
This country cries out for a clear, well developed policy for both the production and the transmission and/or shipment of energy that we clearly have found ourselves now lacking and in need of. Every American is finally beginning to feel…
I rise to introduce a concurrent resolution expressing the sense of the Senate regarding the Republic of Korea's unlawful bailout of Hyundai Electronics, an issue of great concern to me and, I believe, should be of concern to the Senate…
The reason one of Idaho's Senators is on the floor this afternoon and the reason one of Oregon's Senators is on the floor this afternoon is that what is happening in California is rapidly spreading into Oregon and Washington and Idaho. Why…
let me take a few additional moments to speak to the Senate about a friend of ours who has worked with us in the Senate for a good number of years. This week marks the last week of work for the Senate in the career of Loretta Symms…
as a Senator, I do not serve on the Judiciary Committee, but I have watched nearly every hour of their hearing on the confirmation of John Ashcroft to be our next Attorney General of the United States. I have watched while men and women of…
