I rise today to again support the President in his duty, I believe, to stop Iraq from bringing weapons of mass destruction throughout the world. The warmonger is Saddam Hussein. He is now moving us toward another major military engagement…

This amendment is the Arming Pilots Against Terrorism and Cabin Defense Act of 2002, which will be an amendment that will provide help for training for those flight attendants in the cabin, and for pilots to be able to carry weapons…

I had considered offering my armed pilots amendment on this bill, but after our discussions, and with the assurances that to the extent possible this would be one of the first items of business when we consider the homeland defense bill, I…

In order to limit potential negative impacts on gasoline prices and fuel supplies, the legislation authorizes a total of $750 million over three fiscal years to promote production of other fuel additives. This funding is intended to…

The existing RFG regulations set separate standards for fuel sold in Northern and Southern RFG areas. Section 839 of the legislation we are discussing requires EPA to revise existing RFG regulations to apply the stricter Southern…

I call it the broadcast fraud amendment. It simply prohibits the broadcasting of certain false information on election day. Unfortunately, this amendment is necessary to strengthen Federal prohibitions on the broadcast of false election…

Because this is such a vital issue to New Hampshire and the nation, it is my intention to do all within my power to see that the Senate acts on this matter. I appreciate all of the efforts of the majority leader to work with me in bringing…

I thank the Leader for his strong support, and I am pleased that the administration is also supportive. I know how many long hours the Attorney General is putting in on this issue, and how committed he is to winning this war on terrorism…

I thank the Leader. As I said, it had been my intention to offer an amendment to resolve this problem by eliminating the requirement for the Attorney General to give this sensitive information to the alien terrorist before deporting him…

That is exactly the problem. Under current law, the Justice Department would have to give a declassified summary of all the secret evidence used in the deportation proceedings to the terrorist. Now, why would we compromise our intelligence…

It had been my intention to offer an amendment which would strengthen provisions in the bill to deal with known terrorist aliens. As Senator Lott well remembers, we worked in 1996, created the Alien Terrorist Removal Court, to hear cases…

The motto of my legislation is that armed pilots are the first line of deterrence and the last line of defense--the first line of deterrence because terrorists will know that armed pilots will be able to defend the cockpit and defend the…

If the Senator will agree that we postpone this vote until we have this bill go back to the committee where it can be heard and brought to the floor, I would be fine with that. Apparently that is not going to be the case. I think it is…

We should not give free trade to a Communist regime that ignores basic human rights and insults us--``insult'' isn't even strong enough--by saying something like that, having those comments made on the streets of Hanoi and proudly printing…

I thank Senator Gregg and Senator Hollings for their help. As Senator Gregg knows, American Tissue has closed its mills in Berlin and Gorham with only a few employees keeping the hydro plants in Gorham running. These employees are not…

There are many things that happen in war of which, when we look back, many of us on both sides of the aisle are not always proud. But I want to point out that sometimes things happen that must be corrected just because it is the right…

I can appreciate the concerns raised by the Senator from Florida. I agree with Senator Reid that sites contaminated as a result of former cattle dipping practices and which meet the definitions and conditions for sites to obtain funding…

My colleague from Ohio is correct. The managers' amendment clarifies the role of the State when new information has become available. Specifically, the Administrator must consult with the State before an enforcement action can be taken…

I thank Senator Durbin and the rest of our colleagues for helping to get this legislation enacted before Congress adjourns. It is time to improve the lot of these animals and do right by taxpayers at the same time.

The Senator is correct on each of those points, which will serve to further limit the possibility of sanctuary chimpanzees being recalled for research. It is my intention, and the intent of the amended legislation, that any such research…

He offers his strong support for a change in the law that will allow the adoption of military working dogs. Former Marine Lt. Putney led a successful effort to build a cemetery and monument for the 25 dogs who died in the liberation of…

Yes, it is. This bill requires that the various interests involved in the Sport Fish and Wildlife Restoration programs be fully and meaningfully consulted in the process, as indicated by the Senator. This should be carefully adhered to in…

Yes, it is. I do not believe that the grant recipients, many of whom are States, should be penalized because we were unable to pass a bill prior to October 1.

Yes. By approving section 132, we intend to elevate the role of the head of the Federal Aid program, as part of our overall effort, in this bill, to give the program the full attention that it deserves. We do not intend, however, to…
