Yesterday the Senate passed, at my request, a resolution commending Brett Favre, from my State, who was named earlier this week as the most valuable player in the National Football League. Brett, as Senators know, is the quarterback of the…

it is becoming more obvious every day that the White House is not prepared to reach an agreement with the Congress to balance the budget. We have not seen any specific proposal from the administration to make any changes that would, in…

it is with much pride that I submit a resolution congratulating Brett Favre for his outstanding accomplishment in being named the Most Valuable Player of the National Football League for 1995. Brett is a native of my State of Mississippi…

my amendment prohibits the authorization of funds to privatize the Federal prison facilities located at Yazoo City, MS, and Forrest City, AR. Mr. President, recent administration proposals regarding the privatization of Federal prison…

I do not want to delay this inordinately. I think there is a question that ought to be clarified; that is, at the point when the case reached the supreme court, none of those legislators, except one, had voluntarily requested Tulane to…

If a member, who is a senior member, of the Judiciary Committee staff tells a Senator like I was told during the briefing on this issue that if the committee had had the information that came to light after the nomination had been…

How could you have done that if the information about this nomination to Tulane and the scholarships did not come to the attention of anybody until the day after the Judiciary Committee reported the nomination to the Senate?

I think the staff has now concluded in another way. I do not know whether there is any evidence that the Senator can give the Senate about what the staff has concluded. But in today's Times-Picayune, there is a statement from a reporter…

it seems to me that the facts that led me to file this motion have been fully provided to the Senate. The code, the canons of ethics involving impartiality, the responsibility of judges under these circumstances have been discussed. I do…

One question I have that has not been brought out here was that this suit not only requested a ruling as to these five legislators, but, more important, with respect to Judge Dennis, it involved all legislators' records, as to whether or…

It was if they did not overrule the fourth circuit. The fourth circuit had reversed the lower court. The lower court ruled that was public property and that all legislators had control over the files that were held by Tulane. And the…

This is a question that is being presented to the Senate today under this motion to recommit on the basis of newly discovered information about the fitness of this judge to serve on the fifth circuit court of appeals. The motion to…

it was my honor, a unique honor and special pleasure to serve in this body as the State colleague of John C. Stennis for 10 years. I deeply appreciated the bond of friendship, respect and trust that developed between us as we worked…

to put this debate on the budget situation in context, I hope that we will keep in mind the difficulty that Congress has had over the years, and each administration in recent years, in trying to cope with this very, very difficult…

On December 22, Mississippi lost one of its most outstanding citizens when Mrs. Rubye Stutts-Lyells passed away. She was a personal friend of mine, but she was also a friend of many, and was one of the real leaders in our State in many…

in conclusion, let me simply say that one mark of the courage and interest in the political development of our State was illustrated by Mrs. Lyells' active and conspicuous participation in the development of the modern Republican Party in…

I hope that I am understanding the Senator correctly then that the amendment that I am describing is really not necessary to help ensure that this balance, this fairness will exist as between private and public sector entities that may be…

this past Saturday I read in the New York Times an interesting editorial dealing with the challenge of attracting good teachers into the Nation's classrooms, and the importance of having well-qualified, well-trained, and excellent…

first let me commend the distinguished Senator from Alabama for his introduction of the resolution on the subject of a constitutional amendment to balance the budget. As the Senator knows, it has been an item of high priority in terms of…
