And these people, I interrupt the Senator through the Chair, did not know--her friends, neighbors, people around America--she was a spy; is that right?

Would the Senator succinctly state what harm was done, or could have been done, as a result of divulging the name of this woman?

And the people supplying her information certainly did not want the world to know the information they were giving to this woman was information being given to a CIA operative; is that true?

If the distinguished leader would allow me to say a few words, and it will be a few words, as I said earlier today the role of the majority leader is extremely difficult. While I disagree with the action taken of filing the motion for…

I do not like the bill. OK, I do not like the bill, but we have a few Democrats who like it, so we decided not to stand in the way of this legislation. I have a letter from Jerry Jasinowski who is the president of the National Association…

Class action is an important part of our legal system. It has done a great deal to help people work their way through the process. The fact that I as a trial lawyer have not taken a class action lawsuit does not mean I didn't like class…

the legislation just passed has been 30 years in the making. It deals with Shoshone Indians in the State of Nevada. It is a fund that has grown to about $150 million. Thousands of Indians will benefit from this fund. These people live in…

families are important to each of us. When you have children, one thing you wish for is that they will marry someone who will fit comfortably into your family. My daughter-in-law Cindy is celebrating her 40th birthday. She has become such…

the one message that came out of the meeting to me is that the hero today in Iraq is the Prime Minister of Iraq. He is a man of great courage who has had a number of assassination attempts on his life, even when he did not live in Iraq…

I rise to pay tribute to Stan Colton, a man who has dedicated his life to serving the people of Nevada. Stan hails from my hometown of Searchlight. In fact, he lives there today, on the same property that his grandfather and father owned…

for years, the plan for missile defense, which is placed in Alaska, provided for 20 interceptors. Suddenly, this year the administration asked for 10 additional interceptors. My amendment will simply fence the acquisition of these…

we have worked with the Senator from Louisiana for many hours today on this amendment. There was an article written, and I joke with the Senator from Louisiana. She was the feature of a veterans publication. They had a picture of her with…

one of the points I am disappointed in and concerned about is I do not want the Senator from Virginia--he and I have worked together for two decades--I do not want the Senator from Virginia to think in any way that I tricked him or misled…

from a total Nevada perspective, how proud we are of the campaign he has been running in Nevada. The Senator from Massachusetts has run all positive ads. The people of Nevada recognize that and, as a result of that, all the polls show him…

That is fine. I will be happy to do that. But I see no prejudice to anyone if he is allowed to lay down his amendment.

the amendment I offered dealing with a request for documents and records basically says: The Attorney General shall submit to the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate all documents and records produced from January 20, 2001, to the…

In years past, when Senator Dole was running for President, when he was still here, we went out of our way to make sure Senator Dole had the opportunity to do whatever he wanted to do. If he wanted to vote on one, two, three, or four…

I want the Record to be clearly spread with the fact that if the Senator from Virginia feels that I misled, deceived, or tricked him in any way that I will withdraw my amendment.

I would like to add what I hope will be a moment of pleasantness to what we do here, and that is talk about the Presiding Officer who has the patience of--I don't know if it is a Job at this stage, but a lot of patience because he has sat…

I think the distinguished chairman, as usual, makes a lot of sense. If, in fact, the second-degree amendment is agreed to overwhelmingly, of course it would not make a lot of sense to vote on that first amendment. I am sure we can work…

I want it made clear that the reason I said this is we have worked very hard to move this bill along. This is an important bill. We started off with about 300 amendments. Those amendments were defense oriented with rare exception. The…

There are a lot of things we would like to talk about. There is minimum wage, just to name one and which we feel is long overdue. There are a lot of amendments regarding Medicare we could offer on this legislation--prescription drugs. But…

It seems that every year at this time I come to the floor to offer an amendment on behalf of America's disabled veterans. The amendment I offer today, and have for many years, deals with concurrent receipt, a subject first brought to my…

on June 10, the Las Vegas Review-Journal published an editorial about the program my friend from Kentucky seeks to fix. As the editorial noted, this program was created to compensate our cold war veterans who are sick from their work at…

I have strong views that if someone has been convicted of a crime and has fulfilled the terms of the sentence by that court and completed their probationary period or period of parole, that person should be able to vote. If a sentence is…
