Let me express my thanks for the leadership that he and the Senator from Illinois have taken on this issue, along with myself and others, to bring to the floor and to build the consensus that is clearly here in a strong majority to pass a…
let me take from Stephen Moore's article this morning some of the examples he used as to what all of this means, because I really do believe that every Senator has been lost in the woods of trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars…
Is it not true that as we write proposed constitutional amendments, the one concern we have is that the wording that goes into those amendments is not something that falls within the purview of the Congress on a daily basis? By that I mean…
we have just heard Senator Domenici from New Mexico, chairman of the Budget Committee here in the Senate, outline for us what many of us feared we would hear from this President as he presented his budget to the Nation which will now be…
The Senator is so accurate about what he says about where the obligation rests. Those of us who have championed the cause of a balanced budget amendment and have argued that--and I think all of us currently on the floor have agreed in the…
this afternoon, the issue that brings Senators to the floor is the beginning of what I believe will be a historic debate in this Chamber, as it has been in the House the last several days of last week, and that is to debate and consider…
President Clinton outlined the many challenges facing this Nation in his State of the Union Address. Paramount amongst those challenges was the need to bring fiscal responsibility back to the Congress and the Federal Government. I…
let me conclude the time on our side by looking at what past Congresses have done when they proposed amendments to the Constitution. What the Senator is suggesting in his amendment is that the first Congress would have been able to…
the writer of this article suggests that one of the standard arguments we are hearing, and we have now heard before both the committees--the Judiciary Committees in the House and the Senate--that have taken testimony on a balanced budget…
I was in the Chamber of the House last night for the State of the Union speech, and I was very disappointed when our President used the old argument: well, if you are going to balance the budget, show us where you are going to cut. That is…
in my concluding minutes, let me thank my colleague from Montana for his strong support and for the always strong dose of good common sense he brings to the floor of the U.S. Senate, which sometimes does not prevail here when we debate…
I will say that clearly the balanced budget amendment is a bipartisan issue. It must be bipartisan. This is a national debate that involves all partisan interests.
last Friday at about this hour I stood on the floor of this Senate to describe a crisis that my State of Idaho and its citizens were at the brink of, a crisis that had resulted from a Federal judge's order to immediately halt all economic…
But I now speak specifically to the Lieberman-Kerry-Levin amendment of which, if you want to gut a good bill, here is where you start. This is the first substantive effort we have seen on the part of the other side to substantially change…
Well, to my colleague from the other side, and one of the primary sponsors of the balanced budget amendment, it would not be unrealistic. But what is realistic to talk about is the very thing that all of us know who focus on the balanced…
I came immediately to the floor to express, on the part of the Idaho Senators who are serving and who have previously served in this body, the respect we have for Senator Bennett Johnston of Louisiana.
this afternoon, let me join with Senator Glenn in echoing his praise of Senator Kempthorne of Idaho and the effort they both have pursued in bringing S. 1 to the floor for its early consideration. I know of no other piece of legislation…
I also wish to speak on S. 14 that has just been introduced by Budget Committee chairman Senator Domenici and also Senator Exon and myself. That is a new bill that will create a legislative line-item veto. We believe that is another…
