after many years of failed attempts, this Congress will have the overdue opportunity to reform the 1934 Communications Act. Senator Pressler, the chairman of the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, is to be commended for his…
let me thank Senator Thurmond and Senator Nunn for their cooperation in resolving some concerns in the posse comitatus amendment and the effort that they took in a most serious and appropriate way to cause the military to be involved in…
I and others have watched very closely as the staff of the Judiciary Committee has assembled this legislation from the principles the President laid down and from the principles the majority leader laid down so that no civil liberties in…
So why the amendment? Why not stay with the substitute bill? If this Congress wants to get the industry that manufactures explosives to a point in science and technology where we could identify the explosive itself, why not pursue it in…
I strongly support the call for hearings into the Federal Government's handling of standoffs in Naples, ID and Waco, TX. Some of my colleagues may remember I have been pushing for many months to get the Government to tell what it knows…
50 years ago, U.S. forces, along with those of our valiant and embattled allies, formally ended the victorious struggle to contain a horrific evil that had spread across the European continent. For those Americans who attended the…
I introduce the Balers and Compactors Safety Standards Modernization Act. This bill would make long-overdue revisions to safety standards set by the Department of Labor's Hazardous Occupation Order Number 12 (HO 12). HO 12 is a regulation…
I have before me at this moment the National Journal's Congressional Daily. It is a report of the activities of Congress on a daily basis, referring to what committees are doing both in the House and the Senate and also reporting on the…
I will also add to my statement a letter from NFIB [National Federation of Independent Business], for in that letter are several quotes that I think are extremely valuable to this debate. One of those quotes which is important, and I will…
in the last Congress, Members in the Senate and our colleagues in the other Chamber worked hard to reform the laws under which the U.S. mining industry operate on the vast Federal lands of the west. Members on both sides of the aisle, from…
I join with the family, friends and over 9 million members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in grieving the death of Howard W. Hunter, president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. President Hunter was…
I have always appreciated his leadership and his energy that he puts to the issues that he is dedicated to and certainly the spending limitation program that he has just proposed, of which I am proud to be a cosponsor. We will work to…
For over 5 weeks we had debated the issue of a balanced budget and why this Government and why the Congress of the United States ought to be held to the constraints of a constitutional amendment requiring us to balance the Federal budget…
my friend and a friend of most of ours, Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell of Colorado, is today announcing that he will become a Republican. For a good number of years I have had the privilege to work with this Senator, both in the U.S…
I have had the privilege of knowing Senator Campbell all of his public life here in Washington. He is a man of tremendous principle, and that kind of comment just does not surprise me at all. He is tremendously dedicated to the issue of a…
in a letter to me and others who fought this issue, they polled their constituents and of them a thousand registered voters. That survey showed a confidence level of 95 percent that the Senate was doing the right thing to pass the balanced…
it is fair and I believe proper that the Senate of the United States speak to the citizens of this country as to our intent about how we plan to handle Social Security as we move toward a balanced budget. Therefore, I strongly support the…
no program of the Federal Government is being exempted. These are not Federal programs. These are independent entities that are known as quasigovernmental because it took a Federal act to create them. They are not on budget. They have…
Mr. President, for some time I have attempted, along with others, to bring to the attention of this Senate the serious deterioration of this country's forest lands from a variety of ills, including drought, insect and disease attacks, and…

We do not want to see the trust funds and the revenues that build up to support future generations Social Security checks used to balance the budget. The tragedy is today they are. Today the surpluses are spent through the general fund and…
I say that as an individual who helped craft this amendment and believes in the logic and in the appropriateness of the words ``Everything that is in the general fund budget is on the table,'' and everything that the general fund budget…
I agree the Congress did that. But you and I both know that the Congress of the United States every year includes in the final budget of this country and the budget that you and I will decide in the coming months Social Security…
