As of the close of business yesterday, Tuesday, January 23, the Federal debt stood at $4,987,963,203,048.04. On a per capita basis, every man, woman, and child in America owes $18,932.74 as his or her share of the Federal debt.

I say to the Senator, I commend you for the position you have taken. And I join you in making clear all of the relevant facts about this matter, specifically those involving the German firm.
I thank the Chairman. He is always candid, always helpful, and an outstanding Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. I am genuinely grateful for his concern for the flood victims of North Carolina.
Moreover, I understand that the committee intends that the prescription drugs purchased off the Federal Supply Schedule can only be used for Indians whose health care is provided by the tribe, and cannot be purchased or used for resale…
I congratulate Senators Mack, Kyl, Lautenberg, and Feinstein, for their fine work on getting this anti-terrorism legislation through the Congress and passed.
