If the Senator from Michigan will give me the grace of making sure my arithmetic is right, if you add a 25-percent cut for people who are now working plus 40 percent in administrative costs, that 65 percent out of the total amount of…

this morning I rise to speak on perhaps the most important long-term domestic issue facing our Nation--the future health and security of our Social Security system. Today, I want to focus on proposals to privatize Social Security and the…

I rise to oppose the House-Senate conference report on the farm bill. I do so, with deep regret. While I now live in a suburban New Jersey community and have for 25 years, I was raised on a 120-acre family grain farm in central Illinois. I…

Mr. President, New Jersey is the largest user of reformulated gasoline in the Northeast. Hess--through the Port Reading and Virgin Islands refineries--supplies about 13 percent of the reformulated gasoline used in the New York/New…

we want to make sure in this compromise amendment that the perfect not be the enemy of the good. This is not everything anyone would want, but we have struck a compromise with voluntary reporting requirements and database buildup and…

today along with Senators Torricelli, Schumer and Clinton, I am introducing legislation to ensure that the families of the victims of the 1993 World Trade Center terrorist bombing receive the same compensation for their devastating losses…

today I rise to speak out on a subject that is both timely and extremely important to the American people. A few hours ago, the House of Representatives, showing an unimaginable indifference to the retirement security of American families…

let me begin by saying how pleased I am to stand with Senator Feingold, who is a man of conscience, who has spoken out for the need for our Nation to examine the practice and application of the death penalty. His call for a moratorium, as…

I wish to make a couple of simple points. First, this amendment brings forward fairly simple, straightforward oversight functions that are typical in every financial market in which I have ever participated and in which I spent 30 years of…

today, along with Senator Lieberman, I am submitting a resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that Congress should reject the reductions in guaranteed Social Security benefits proposed by the President's Commission to Strengthen…

Today the Senate approved historic legislation that will change the way we manage our democracy in the new century. The changes called for in the McCain-Feingold/Shays-Meehan legislation are long overdue and vitally important to restoring…

I want to commend you and all of the people at FEMA for the tremendous response that we have seen given to the September 11 attacks.

We would very much love to hear a response about where it stands in the process.

There continue to be open questions about whether that meets the criterion.

It is a very heavy burden on the State, and I think it is actually very important for the revitalization of Southern Manhattan.

I, too, rise to strongly support the amendment the Senator from California is offering to roll back this Enron exemption in the derivatives market. Being an old bond trader who operated in the derivatives markets for many years, the idea…

I, too, add my voice to the many others who have come to praise the distinguished Senator from Massachusetts, Mr. Edward Kennedy. Though the Presiding Officer and I have only been in the Senate for a very short while, in my life outside of…

In September 1796, worn out by burdens of the presidency and attacks of political foes, George Washington announced his decision not to seek a third term. With the assistance of Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, Washington composed in…

As I suggested the last time, I would love to take you up to New Jersey and visit some of these public housings and we can go to Cumberland County at the same time.

Overall however, this budget falls short of meeting what I believe is HUD's core mission--fulfilling both the short- and long-term housing needs that America's families, our communities and frankly, our economy, rely on.

As you can well imagine as a former business person, though, that if you had bonded, if you had gone to the banks under the projections that you were going to receive grants and it had been indicated that those were going to occur, then…
