You can't have it both ways. You either should have pursued it and you made a mistake, or there was only flimsy speculation and you should not have pursued it.

The Dean campaign is one of the best things to happen to American democracy in decades.

for nearly 14 years, Eric Newsom has dedicated his professional career, along with his knowledge and background in foreign policy, to the U.S. Senate. I first had the opportunity to work with Eric when he served as minority staff director…

on May 10, the world witnessed an event that was little short of a miracle. Nelson Mandela was inaugurated President of South Africa, marking the peaceful end of white rule in South Africa. As President Mandela stated, this day marks ``a…

I would like to clarify that my vote against the amendment offered by the distinguished majority leader does not imply any lack of support for NATO airstrikes as described in the amendment. I fully support the use of air power, provided it…

I differ from some of my colleagues in that I believe that there is a place in our system of justice for capital punishment. At one extreme of the scales of justice, there are crimes that so brutally deny the humanity of the victim and the…

on Thursday, April 28, 1994, a Federal district court judge in California enjoined implementation of the Central Valley Project Improvement Act pending completion of an environmental impact statement. I am quite concerned that this ruling…

I rise in support of the sense-of-the- Senate resolution that the distinguished occupant of the chair will be offering in a short while and that the distinguished Senator from Texas has just addressed. This resolution mirrors a concurrent…

And if given the choice, Madam President, what do you think a company is going to do? It is not going to have an employee stock option program for the secretaries or for the janitors or for the midlevel management or for other levels of…

for years now, I have risen before this body and others to speak out about the desperate condition facing urban America and the crisis facing our urban communities, our families, and our children. While we can wallow in our frustration…

each April we pause to remember the first great crime of the 20th century, the massacre of 1\1/2\ million Armenians by the Ottoman empire and its successor state between 1915 and 1923. It is particularly appropriate that in this year, a…

the basic message on this bill is that we really cannot afford it. We have a mushrooming budget deficit, a growing national debt. We need to cut spending, not increase spending. This program increases spending. For 200 years there was no…

If those counties were not luring in other people, tourists, to create more hardship, this case would be a stronger case. But the reality is that the money will go to counties that do not deserve the money. It is a blind contribution. It…

before there is a long list of people coming down to defend these programs that I just mentioned, let me remind them that this resolution does not pinpoint any specific expenditures. It simply asks that these programs be treated in a…

the amendment that I have sent to the desk makes a very simple point. We can spend money just as easily through the Tax Code as we can through the appropriations process or through the creation of mandatory spending programs. I think we…

The Senate finds that-- (1) continuing budget deficits and the accumulation of Federal debt have a detrimental impact on the Nation's long- term economic growth prospects; (2) in the absence of further fiscal restraint, the Congressional…

America's most important relationship internationally is with a country that is in the throes of a historic transformation. It is a country trying to break free from the bureaucratic shackles which have victimized its people and reduced…

barely a year has passed since I rose on this floor to introduce my urban community-building initiative, eight bills designed to give creative people in communities at the heart of the turmoil the tools to rebuild strong, supportive…

I rise in support of the effort to strike this provision from the bill. I do so because I think it is in the interest of the American taxpayer and because it will reduce the budget deficit if we eliminate this section of the bill. We can…

I rise as an original cosponsor to speak in support of the Gun Violence Prevention Act. I want to congratulate the Senator from Ohio, Senator Metzenbaum, for his work on this bill. In addition, on the day the historic Brady bill goes into…

I rise today in support of the nomination of Strobe Talbott to be Deputy Secretary of State. In thinking about the nominations that come before the Senate for advice and consent, I try to evaluate the nominee against three simple criteria…

I rise in support of the low-income school choice demonstration amendment. Choice may not be the panacea for all our Nation's education ills, but we cannot afford not to take an honest look at whether more options would help kids who today…

that is an example of the kind of statement that the Senate should condemn. At another point he said: We found out that the Federal Reserve ain't really owned by the Federal Government * * * But it ain't owned by the Federal Government…

like most people in New Jersey and across this country, I was shocked and angered by the remarks of Mr. Khalid Abdul Mohammad on November 29, 1993, at Kean College, in New Jersey. It seems Mr. Mohammad digressed into an ugly, hateful set…
