We need a long-term solution that is not just completely dependent on the marketplace making a decision.

I wonder if you have done any economic analysis if we do not act with regard to this.

Nobody is going to write a prospectus now without the question of terrorism being one of the risk characteristics that you have to address.

I also would like to know if your intent with regard to the legal recommendations that you are making are designed only to fit to the bridge proposal you have here, or are they intended to be long-term recommendations with regard to…

Even by that analysis, it is a very substantial amount.

I do not think that the insurance companies are going to develop a book that allows them to be able to do that in that timeframe...

I am going to support this legislation, and I want to commend the leadership--Senators Daschle and Lott--and Senators Leahy and Hatch, for their efforts in developing the bill. Clearly, there is no higher priority than combating terrorism…

I rise today to speak with strong support for an amendment that I know my colleague from Delaware, the senior Senator, Joe Biden, will be offering which deals with the issue of rail transportation up and down the east coast--actually…

it is with deep pride and a certain humility that I rise today to pay tribute to the women and men of New Jersey who in the midst of very personal loss and deep sadness, responded immediately to the rescue and recovery efforts that…

The Senator from Illinois spoke about the need to ensure some accountability by giving the Government a stake in airlines that are provided grants beyond the funding necessary to compensate them for the shutdown period. I agree with him on…

Is it the Senator's belief that the equity stake associated with those grants would operate in the same way that is explicitly outlined in the bill with respect to loan guarantees, with respect to which the Treasury clearly has the…

I understand that New Jersey was not listed because an attack did not physically occur there; however as my colleague, Senator Torricelli has stated, our State and communities have incurred significant human and financial costs in…

let me begin by saying how honored I am to have a chance to rise while the distinguished Senator from Vermont is in the chair. I concur strongly with the majority of the arguments made by the Senator about the fairness of how our…

I rise to discuss a recent report by the Treasury Department that has received very little attention in Washington, but it is sending a very significant signal, message, about the recently approved tax bill to the financial analysts around…

Supporting Senator Boxer's amendment, on our side, is a statement to common sense. In the world I come from, people look at the facts; they analyze them; and then they try to take actions consistent with them. In science, if the people who…

New Jersey's 127 miles of beaches are wide and inviting, dotted with sand dunes and boardwalks offset by a rollicking blue surf and white, warm sand. From Sandy Hook to Cape May Point, one hundred and sixty million people visit New Jersey…

last week I introduced a resolution that addresses the United States' use of Nazi war criminals after World War II. The resolution acknowledges the role of the United States in harboring Nazi fugitives, commends the Nazi War Criminal…

I rise to talk specifically about how important the Patients' Bill of Rights is to improving the mental health care Americans receive. For far too long, mental health consumers have been discriminated against in the health care…

today, along with Senator Torricelli, I am introducing legislation, the Clean Ocean and Safe Tourism, COAST, Anti-Drilling Act, to ban oil and gas drilling off the Mid-Atlantic and Northern Atlantic coast. The people of New Jersey, and…

I am honored to rise today, particularly with the Presiding Officer who is in the Chair, to support a motion to proceed to S. 1052, the Bipartisan Patients' Bill of Rights. I commend Senators McCain, Edwards, and Kennedy for the tremendous…

I warmly endorse the comments of the senior Senator from Connecticut. As always, he is spot on with his analysis, and his point with regard to the Gregg amendment, which I strongly oppose, is exactly where I think we should come out…

I also am pleased that I have this opportunity to stand in support of the Dodd-Biden amendment, which is designed to make sure that every child in America has access and the equal promise of a quality education. The Dodd-Biden amendment on…

I rise in support of his amendment which ensures we not only test our kids, but we actually provide promised resources we have talked about over and over in this body to improve educational quality. He believes and I believe, and I think…

I rise on this special day to talk about an issue that I think defines our health as a society--the issue of racial profiling. The practice of racial profiling is the antithesis of America's belief in fairness and equal protection under…

I would encourage, though, that when one looks at whether decimalization is working, and I use it as a generalization, we want to be careful that one doesn't confuse a different market environment for the diminishment of liquidity versus…
