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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

I commend my colleagues who were involved in drafting this amendment on missile defense. The hard work that went into the crafting of this compromise is strong evidence of both the importance of the issue and the dedication of the members…

we finally have, as the distinguished Senator from Tennessee said, the opportunity to legislate an end to the unnecessarily costly consequences of Federal Government regulations. This legislation that has been introduced by the Majority…

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…

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…

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…

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…

I support the access to community health care bill, which will preserve the Community, Migrant and Homeless Health Centers [CHC's] and allow them to compete in the changing health care marketplace. I commend my colleague from South…

all of us probably have had, if we were lucky, a few talented people who have inspired us or guided us in the early part of our careers and whose influence helped make us what we are today. One of those special people in my life was Thomas…

our Nation lost one of its most talented, interesting, controversial, and successful Presidents ever when President Richard Nixon died on April 22. As a new Member of the U.S. House of Representatives in 1947, he quickly established…

On June 11, 1994, a special place along Winberry Creek in the Willamette National Forest in Oregon will be dedicated to honor her memory--a fitting tribute to her tireless work and dedication to protect our Nation's valuable natural…

I rise today to congratulate Dr. Goberdhan Bhagat on the occasion of his retirement as professor of political science at the University of Mississippi. A native of India, Professor Bhagat received the bachelor of arts degree from Tej…

this amendment establishes the priority for expenses and claims of bankruptcy as it relates to independent sales representatives. Section 507 of title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code provides for the priority order for expenses and claims in…

If I understand what the Senator has said, he is going to obstruct or would be prepared to obstruct the passage of my amendment, which may be meritorious and to which there is no objection on either side for any reason, in an effort to try…

I think it may have been overlooked, but the distinguished chairman of the committee and the distinguished ranking member of the committee deserve a great deal of credit for the fact that this legislation has been developed and passed. It…

I support this Department of Agriculture reorganization bill as reported by the Agriculture Committee. With over 112,000 employees and an annual budget in excess of $60 billion it is one of the largest departments in the U.S. Government…

S. 1913 represents a major compromise between the Environmental Protection Agency, farm worker interests, production agriculture, and State regulators in the implementation of EPA's farm worker protection standard. The bill will delay the…

I would agree. However, the delay in the implementation of these regulations is to allow the numerous concerns that have been raised with these regulations to be resolved, and to provide additional time for the EPA to distribute the…
