For too long the government has classified information which has no business being classified. When I came to the Senate, I was a member of the Armed Services Committee and I remember that I went to many classified briefings, only to be…

During the past 4 years, the Clinton administration has remained silent while Russia has encroached upon the territory and sovereignty of its neighbors. It was the lack of a foreign policy--not a lack of tools--that allowed this to happen…

Allow me to thank the able Senator from Arizona. He is a walking encyclopedia on the details of this treaty, and he has been enormously helpful to me and to many other Senators in understanding the implications of a great many provisions…

I want this treaty to be made into an instrument that will be beneficial to the American people and to this country. It is my intent to continue to insist upon that.

On July 17, the European Parliament passed a resolution urging that Taiwan be granted greater recognition in international organizations, and calling for a study of the issues surrounding Taiwan's participation in the United Nations. I…

Of course, on behalf of the people of North Carolina, I thank her. I will say that the southeastern part of North Carolina and northeastern part of South Carolina, the people in both areas, as the saying goes, are living on a diet of…

Half hearted responses in a few cases. In large measure, the administration has stonewalled the matter and refused to release the actual documents. The intelligence community of our Government unanimously say that this treaty has many…

Four years ago when I commenced these daily reports to the Senate I wanted to make a matter of daily record the exact Federal debt as of the close of business the previous day. In my first report on February 27, 1992, the Federal debt the…

This amendment will not, of course, kick in unless there is some effort for the United Nations to tax American citizens. That is all it is. I think it says that. Furthermore, I think, if the Senator will recall, the United Nations tried to…

Maybe the Senator would read my lips, as the statement goes. Nothing in here kicks in unless the United Nations engages in, during the fiscal year, ``* * * any effort to develop, advocate, promote or publicize any proposal concerning…

If you had gone ahead and finished what you were reading, you would have discovered that this whole thing is based on Boutros Boutros-Ghali's and others' recommendation that the United Nations be given sovereignty to tax the American…

I will say, Mr. President, in response to the Senator, I think he is on a fishing expedition and he is not going to catch any fish. But UNICEF cannot now borrow money, according to my understanding. Is that correct? So that question is…

But 400,000 of these highly armed, mean-as-a-snake troops, terrorizing their own citizens and locking up, as the Senator from North Carolina pointed out, the duly elected leader of this country in internationally supervised, Western-style…

I think it is obvious that my goal is to make certain that the Army has the ability to use the operations and maintenance funds appropriated within this bill to contract for parachute repair and maintenance work, as well as the cargo…

The Federal Government is existing on borrowed money--more than $5 trillion of it. As of the close of business yesterday, June 4, 1996, the Federal debt stood at $5,139,963,594,008.65. On a per capita basis, every man, woman, and child in…

Too many Americans have not the foggiest notion about the enormity of the Federal debt. Every so often, I ask various groups, how millions of dollars are there in a trillion? They think about it, voice some estimates, most of them not even…

The awesome $5 trillion Federal debt stands today as an increasingly grotesque parallel to the energizer bunny on television that keeps moving and moving and moving--precisely in the same manner and to the same extent that the President is…

A great many Americans don't have the faintest idea that the Federal debt is so incredibly enormous. Quite often, I ask friends if they know how many millions of dollars are there in a trillion? Few know, but one thing they do know is that…

The $5 trillion Federal debt stands today as an increasingly grotesque parallel to the energizer bunny on television that keeps moving and moving and moving--precisely in the same manner, and to the same extent, that President Clinton is…

The skyrocketing Federal debt recently surpassed $5 trillion. As of the close of business Friday, March 15, the Federal debt--down to the penny--stood at exactly $5,045,003,375,350.97 or $19,077.15 on a per capita basis for every man…

4 years ago when I commenced these daily reports to the Senate it was my purpose to make a matter of daily record the exact Federal debt as of the close of business the previous day. In that first report (February 27, 1992) the Federal…

A vast percentage of Americans don't have the slightest idea about the enormity of the Federal debt. Ever so often, I ask groups of friends: How many millions of dollars are there in a trillion? They think about it, voice some estimates…

4 years ago I commenced these daily reports to the Senate to make a matter of record the exact Federal debt as of the close of business the previous day. In that report (February 27, 1992) the Federal debt stood at $3,825,891,293,066.80…

At the close of business Thursday, February 22, the Federal debt stood at $4,987,959,914,205.44, about $13 billion shy of the $5 trillion mark, which the Federal debt will exceed in a few months. On a per capita basis, every man, woman…

About 4 years ago I commenced these daily reports to the Senate to make a matter of record the exact Federal debt as of close of business the previous day. In that report, February 27, 1992, the Federal debt stood at $3,825,891,293,066.80…
