This amendment relates to a community about 90 miles outside Las Vegas on the Utah border. We have conveyed land to them on a previous occasion. This is a technical correction. It corrects a subsection number in Public Law 99-548. This has…

These two individuals were killed by anthrax. They worked at the post office on Brentwood Road, northeast Washington. Their fellow employees felt it was appropriate to name this facility, when it reopens, after them. It is very appropriate…

I have to believe that the President is not getting the right information from his staff; otherwise, knowing him, I cannot believe he would say some of the things he has said recently. ... We are talking about billions of dollars worth of…

We leave for the August recess having accomplished a lot. When we return in September however, we really have our work cut out for us. It is not simply the annual appropriations bills and completed conference reports we must take up and…

Since military head injury is identified as the single most significant risk factor for the development of epilepsy, I would be interested in including epilepsy research among the projects specified in the bill. Would the chairman be…

I will not go through the entire list because the Senator and I both have the same list. It was compiled by the Federal Procurement and Data Center off their Web site. The amounts are over $1 billion, just on this short list we have, of…

I would like the Senator to acknowledge if we have the same list; for example, Ingersoll-Rand, which reincorporated 6, 7 months ago in Bermuda, has Fiscal Year 2001 Federal contracts of over $40 million?

Is the Senator aware that PricewaterhouseCoopers Monday, who spun off of PricewaterhouseCoopers of New York and incorporated in Bermuda a couple of months ago, has Fiscal Year 2001 Federal contracts of almost $221 million? Is the Senator…

To run through some of these to kind of get a picture of the substance of the Senator's amendment, is the Senator aware that Tyco Company reincorporated in Bermuda and has Federal contracts of $224 million-plus in Fiscal Year 2001 alone?

Are you aware that Foster Wheeler, who was reincorporated in Bermuda about a year ago, has Federal contracts amounting to $286,253,000?

I say to my friend, it is our purpose to allow the Senate to vote on a good prescription drug benefit for senior citizens, something that is long overdue and, as the Senator knows, in 1965 when we passed Medicare, there was not a…

I say to my friend, the amendment which is a step in the direction of helping senior citizens who need prescription drugs is available. It is just being copied. The Senator's floor staff asked for a copy of it, and Senator Graham did not…

I said I had one last question, and this will be the last question: One of the programs involved, by virtue of what they are doing, would also prevent the spread of HIV; is that true?

Finally, I ask my friend, so I understand the numbers, as a result of this political ideology, just for this year alone, there are going to be 500,000 unwanted pregnancies; there will be 250,000 unwanted births, for lack of a better way to…

I also ask my friend: It is true, is it not, that these programs are voluntary in nature, educational in nature, people are learning how to prevent pregnancies? Is that one of the programs that is involved?

Would my friend also acknowledge that these programs involve in various places well-baby programs to teach women how to take care of babies, and also prenatal care, which is such an important part, to countries outside the United States…

I ask my friend, it is also true, is it not, that the 200,000 abortions are for a year's period of time? Over the years when we have been prevented, as we have on other occasions by Republican administrations, from letting this money go…

Senator Byrd has given a number of speeches in recent days on and off the floor about separation of powers; that we, the legislative branch, do something and the power is taken away by the executive branch of the Government. This is a…

I so appreciate the statement of the Senator from New Mexico for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that it seems those who oppose abortion the most are those who fight against us for these moneys; is that not a fair statement?

I was serious about everything that I said on the terrorism insurance bill. On the matter dealing with highway funding, it is very important we get this done for a lot of different reasons. One reason is to prepare for the bill that is…

I remind my colleagues that only a few years ago we in Washington were congratulating ourselves on living in a hemisphere that, with the exceptions of Cuba and Haiti, had embraced freedom and free markets after long years of military rule…

This legislation is not good for the country. I hope that we can have cooler heads prevail and that we can go ahead with the conference. I understand the House is going out for the summer recess this Friday. If the President wants this by…

We need to have this terrorism insurance bill conferenced and completed. No one knows better than the Presiding Officer what the people of New York have gone through as a result of the terrorist acts of September 11. The people of this…

The Senator has indicated we should be working on appropriations bills, and I agree with the Senator. But is the Senator aware that for--I have lost track of the days, but for several days I have offered at least four, maybe more…

The Senator is not suggesting in any way that AARP is not a legitimate organization, is he?
