at this moment I am filing at the desk four amendments that at the appropriate time I would make efforts to attach to S. 1269, the fast-track legislation. None of us yet know the fate of fast track or if the House will be able to engender…
I understand that the conferees to the Interior bill agreed to provide $15,866,000 for the wild horse and burro program for fiscal year 1998. That amounts to the same funding level for the program as was provided for fiscal year 1997.
we are about to vote on a cloture motion on what is, without question, a very important issue to all of us and to the country at large. In fact, it is so important that this morning the President of the United States cried out, ``Save me…
the debate over campaign finance reform is what I like to call the ``News of the Day''. The media has been on a feeding frenzy looking for angles to show that this issue had divided members of Congress. That it had divided the members of…
this week marked the 21st anniversary of the congressional passage of the 1976 National Forest Management Act. It is, therefore, a particularly appropriate time to discuss revisions to modernize NFMA and the Federal Land Policy and…
I send to the desk for appropriate reference a measure to expand the use and availability of the Small Reclamation Projects Act of 1956. The Small Reclamation Projects Act has provided important benefits throughout the Reclamation West in…
Mr. President, they had the money. They were given the money. I do not know what happened other than to say, they blew the money, they failed. By every measurement, the D.C. public school system is at the bottom. And that is a tragedy. You…
Does the Senator know about the new science that comes out of the study of the Superfund site in Silver Valley, ID? Does he understand also that mediation on the Superfund is now tied up in the courts--conducted by the State of Idaho--that…
Of course such a project would be expensive. However, this burden would be spread out over the several agencies from all levels of Government which would share responsibility for its completion. The Indian Health Service already has…
Then the Chairman knows that since the 1970's a deadly poison named ethylene dibromide, or EDB, has been used as a pesticide on the reservation. Over time, EDB has leached into the groundwater at unsafe levels. Currently, approximately…
My guess is that the State of Idaho with some limited assistance would champion that cause. I have introduced legislation that would create a base of authority. We believe it would cost the Federal Government less than $100 million. The…
What I understand is we have a 100-year-old mine where we are trying to take today's science and, looking at it based on your argument, move it back 100 years. We should be intent on solving today's problems and not arguing 100 years later.
But the countersuit says that based on today's science, if we had known it then, which we didn't--you didn't, I didn't, and no scientist understood it--then we could have done something different. But as of now this is not an issue for…
I think it is certainly appropriate, for a few moments, to speak to the issue at hand here on the floor and my support for what the Senator from Washington has chosen to do with the two issues that he brought to the Interior appropriations…
I stand to join my colleague from Arkansas this evening in offering this second-degree amendment. I must tell you, when the Senator approached me, I was hesitant. I don't get involved in what I originally think is a private-sector…
But the Senator has very clearly pointed out there could well have been side agreements made or upfront agreements that go beyond any average person's wildest imagination to the potential of tens of billions of dollars in attorney's fees…
In other words, if Teamsters were concerned, and there was at issue here corruption in the last election, and therefore a reelection to get rid of that corruption, or at least to have an outcome that all would be satisfied with, we could…
each year a small portion of the Medicare budget is devoted to HCFA's Office of Research and Demonstrations for Activities that help guide Medicare policymaking on coverage, financing and other operational issues. This year the…
I believe it is time to make another effort to pass mining reform legislation and to engage the Clinton administration in meaningful discussion that can bring to a close the long and fruitless debate we have so far had on this issue…
I recognize the bipartisan nature in which this was created, and I support that. I hope that we can sustain that in years to come to truly get our budget in balance and to do so in a way that remains or creates or participates in a vibrant…
I believe that, without the constitutional discipline, we will always risk the return to more spending and more borrowing. Ultimately, to safeguard the future, the balanced budget amendment to the Constitution must come into place. Some…
Cable News Network announced this week that it would provide live television coverage of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee hearings on campaign finance activities. But, Mr. President, their decision was based only on the fact that…
it is about time we start giving American consumers the same information granted in these other nations. Likewise, this legislation is not overly burdensome. The bill provides for a wide variety of labeling options, any number of which…
It is my further understanding that Zimbabwe has a very successful elephant conservation program has had led to a population increase of 43,000 elephants in 1987 to 67,000 elephants in 1996 and that much of this success is due to the…
It is my further understanding that the language in this amendment dealing with trophy hunting is only a prohibition on a direct USAID subsidy of hunting in the CAMPFIRE Program and should not be interpreted as a negative statement about…
