The Public Record
Before the Senator from North Dakota leaves, may I ask a question of the Senator from North Dakota? We heard a great deal and we have had a lot of criticism from that side of the aisle on the President's budget with the idea that it has a…
I agree with Chairman Domenici that possibly out of these discussions tonight and the general tenor of the responses on each side lead me to also agree that we can have a breakthrough. I would simply say that I happen to feel that the…
If we prohibit them, what would be the result? Frankly, I do not think very much, because Senators would, as a substitute, offer small changes in dollars in a regular amendment with some very long statements of the purpose. There is no…
I simply say that I am opposed to the amendment offered by the Senator from Missouri for the reasons that I stated previously. We still do not know the details of where the offsets would come from to make up for the big, huge tax decrease…
Could I add one thing that I think should be driven home? If we are going to expedite this process, we are going to have to have people who are on the list to come and offer their amendments on Friday, or on Monday and not leave here…
Mr. President, if the President's appropriated savings are steep, then the Republican appropriations savings are positively cataclysmic. That is the point. Over the 6 years of the budget, the Republican budget cuts $65 billion more from…
Once again I say, whether it triggers or not, this is an honest chart on honest numbers that has been verified by the CBO. Are you indicating there is something tricky about these numbers?
I have nothing on my mind at all except to thank you for all the help that you have been over the years to the U.S. Navy. That is the kind of person he was. Do you have any details at all on this? This had to be a very sudden affair. Do…
Suffice it to say I still have not recovered from the shock. I find myself in one of those positions that maybe we have all found ourselves in sometimes, having some kind of a bad dream but you know it will all turn out right and you will…
I do not know for sure how to answer my friend and colleague from Nevada, except to say I do not think it would hurt the image of this place very much, in the public mind, if we would at least appear to be getting something done. That is…
Is it not true that in 1987 there existed such a thing as a very powerful and threatening Soviet Union and a Warsaw Pact that is not here today?
Certainly each and every cattle farmer is not doing well today. And no one knows that better than my friend from Montana because at one time he was a very prominent cattle person in Montana, and he knows better than anybody else the sad…
To use an example, and then I will yield the floor, if the controlling agency would declare the rattlesnake an endangered species, we in the Congress could override that under what you have in place?
Has the Senator ever considered the possibility of having these people proceed as they have with the identification of an endangered species, and then, before we added more species to that list, it be voted on by the Congress of the United…
I am not a member of the committee so I am not fully informed on all of these issues. I appreciate very much the explanation that is being given by my friend from Nevada. Under the system that we have always had with regard to the…
Let me see if I understand the amendment the Senator is offering. As I understand it, the situation we are now confronted with is that the continuing resolutions that have been offered, the series of them and potentially more, in each and…
I appreciate the Senator's raising the issue of this provision. I certainly agree with her that any discussion about abortion is protected by the first amendment guarantee of free speech. I certainly agree that nothing in this title should…
To build upon what the Senator just said, I placed in the Record the other day the farm welfare program, the so-called Freedom to Farm Act. It would provide a massive amount, thousands of dollars a year, to a farmer whether or not the…
I believe the date was November 6, maybe 60 days ago. The timeframe may be a little over a month. But the Senator is absolutely correct, regardless of the date, there was a dramatic change overnight, without any explanation from the Farm…
There is nothing that has a better chance for the hope of mankind in the future than the overwhelming approval of the START II Treaty. When it is implemented, it will reduce the number of nuclear warheads both in Russia and the United…
I suggest that never before in history have we been so late in deciding what a farm program is going to be in the year that the crop is going to be planted. That has to stop. I do not know how to end this impasse that we have but the…
It may well be that the Senator from Florida did not understand. That was incorporated in the amendment and was suggested as an exception by the Senator from Wyoming. And I think it satisfies the concerns of the Senator from Florida. It is…
On behalf of Senator Simon, I offer this amendment which would authorize the Secretary of the Navy to convey real property and military family housing at the former Fort Sheridan, IL, to a competitive bidder in exchange for a parcel of…
This represents the responsible role for the operation of support aircraft and responds to the recommendations by management of these aircraft by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the Commission on Rules and Missions of the armed…
This amendment provides the military services greater flexibility to negotiate longer interim leases for the reuse of property at a closing of a military installation. This amendment allows for flexibility without eliminating important…
