This Senator from Idaho is concerned that those who would sell black-market cigarettes are also now selling marijuana and cocaine to our young people. Does the Senator from Missouri have the same fear?

Does the bill that the Senator from Arizona brings forward deal with the issue of drugs or the misuse of drugs by our teenage populations in this country?

I have sat for well over an hour now this morning, listening to the colloquies, the questions, and the debates between the Senator from Missouri and the others who engaged him, concerned as we all are about teenage smoking, and concerned…

I rise in support of the IRS Reform Act. I would like to begin by congratulating Chairman Roth for holding the recent IRS hearings. The Finance Committee's historic hearing have made it possible for us to consider this bill, and they have…

before I discuss these three amendments en bloc, let me say, as so many of us have on the floor over the last several days, how proud we are of Senator Bill Roth for the very statesmanlike approach he has taken toward major reform of the…

yesterday I put before the Senate a very straightforward amendment to our resolution of ratification that speaks to the responsibility of the President as it relates to getting authorization for the continued mission of our U.S. military…

Statutory Authorization for Deployments in Bosnia and Herzegovina--Prior to the deposit of the United States instrument of ratification, there must be enacted a law containing specific authorization for the continued deployment of the…

since September of 1997, the General Accounting Office, at my request, has been conducting an investigation into possible anti-lobbying violations--as well as possible violations of the Federal Advisory Committee Act--at the Department of…

let me say first to the Senators from Arkansas and New Hampshire, this has to be one of the most gratuitous taxes on the mining industry you have yet come up with. Let me be blunt, let me be honest: Every citizen benefits from the wealth…

I ask my colleagues tonight to vote with me to waive the Budget Act. It is the first step to reigning in the uncontrolled costs to mandatory spending programs. Your vote tonight merely extends the same treatment to mandatory spending that…

last night I offered an amendment called the Surplus Protection Amendment for myself and several other colleagues here in the Senate: Senator Allard, Senator Coverdell, Senator Grams, Senator Helms, Senator Hutchinson, Senator Inhofe…

I say that because it is difficult for us to fathom a savings of $3.7 trillion to the American taxpayer and to future generations in this Nation by taking it upon ourselves to pay down the Federal debt over a 30-year period. I am proud to…

I will be brief. Others are gathered here to speak on the Hutchison amendment. But let me first of all recognize the Senator from Texas for highlighting and bringing to the surface an issue that is growing in the minds of many of us and we…

I must tell you that at the outset I was not a champion of the idea that we bail out anybody--and I am still not. But clearly what we have done here is say to the IMF and to nations who would benefit from their loans that there needs to be…

I believe we have produced a tough but fair bill. This bill would change the way IMF does business. Let me offer some brief highlights of the reforms which we have agreed upon. This bill appropriates funds for the IMF's emergency facility…

America always rises to a challenge. We meet challenges readily and directly and would never ignore one knowingly as a country. Therefore, it is not surprising that the greatest threat facing our Nation today would be the least visible. It…

But in the area of Russia, for example, this administration appears to think that they can go to the [Russians] and demand that Russia follow our policies in Iraq and insist on their support on Iraq, but at the same time this…

a few weeks ago I had the privilege of being with Senator McConnell when he received a ``Legislator of the Year'' award from a national organization that recognized how critical his leadership on campaign finance reform is. This is an…

I strongly disagree. I offer that his reckless veto of these projects is an indication of his disregard for important defense matters and sloppy work by his staff. Let me begin by setting the record straight. The President claimed that the…

Under McCain-Feingold, it would be against the law to use soft money to conduct a local voter registration drive for 120 days before the election. These get-out-the-vote drives, which have proven to be effective tools for increasing all of…

I thank my colleagues for yielding but a brief moment for the Senate to recognize something that went on last night nearly halfway around the world while all of us slept. A marvelous young lady from Idaho, and a superb athlete, won the…

sometimes my colleague from Massachusetts and I disagree openly, sometimes loudly, on different issues, but he and I will not disagree today on the integrity or the excellence of the individual before us, David Satcher. But we will…

I would like to respond to remarks made by the Senator from New Jersey, Senator Lautenberg, concerning the ``curio or relics'' U.S. origin historic firearms issue. I believe it's important for the Senate to be aware of this information in…

with the Senate's vote today on ``The Adoption and Safe Families Act,'' we are sending the President a landmark reform of the nation's foster care system and a bill that will make an enormous difference in the lives of many children in…

the Senate, by this action, has just passed a major reform in the foster care of this country, an issue that bipartisan Senators have gathered on over the last several months to resolve. Senator Roth, of the Finance Committee, in the last…
