In my estimation, there have never been two teams that had such good sportsmanship. The two coaches were of such high quality. In all their victories along the way, they complemented each other, and last night, even though one was a victor…

Wendell H. Ford tomorrow will surpass the tenure for all Senators from the State of Kentucky as having served the longest period of time. Wendell Ford is Kentucky through and through-- born in Daviess County, KY, went to the University of…

The Forest Service owns over 70 percent of the land within the Basin. Doesn't it seem reasonable that the federal land management agencies of the Basin have a role in this new process?

My colleague, Senator Bryan, and I rise today to describe and elaborate on language that was accepted as an amendment to the Senate's reauthorization of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act. Last week, our colleagues agreed…

during a much earlier stage in my life, I was a police officer. It was a different time. Police officers were treated much differently then than now. One of the things I did not have to worry about was wearing any type of bulletproof vest…

this amendment is offered on my behalf and that of Senators Bryan, Boxer and Feinstein. It has the support of the State governments of both California and Nevada, and it is an amendment that is very simple. It grants Metropolitan Planning…

Finally, although we are not yet discussing the transit title, let me say a few words about public transportation. Las Vegas is the fastest growing city in the Nation. There is some debate as to whether it is Las Vegas or the suburb of…

the State of Nevada is a large State, one of the largest in the Union, 74 million acres. Nevada is also the most mountainous State in the Union except for Alaska. We have 314 separate mountain ranges. We have 32 mountains over 11,000 feet…

There is not an organization in this country that is concerned about human rights or civil rights that wants J. Edgar Hoover's name on the FBI building. This is a building that houses officials sworn to defend and protect the Constitution…

I support renaming the airport after President Reagan, but using the logic of my friend from Utah, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, he said you should not change the name of existing buildings. I assume that should also apply to…

we will shortly be called upon to vote on an amendment that I offered yesterday with Senator Torricelli to change the name of the J. Edgar Hoover FBI Building, in effect to take his name off the building and have it referred to as the FBI…

I want to complete anything I have on this legislation prior to our automatic 5 o'clock break, and I want to say a couple things. First of all, just so the record is clear, there were a number of things written about J. Edgar Hoover but…

there may be some who feel that Ronald Reagan was not the greatest President. I have already laid across this Record how I feel about Ronald Reagan. But everyone would say that Ronald Reagan's heart was in the right place. He was a true…

I also ask my friend, is it also true in tax cases that the burden of proof shifts? As I understand--and I am asking this question of my friend from Nebraska--it is my impression now that the burden of proof to prove yourself, in effect…

I finally say to my friend from Nebraska that this legislation is good legislation. I am happy to be an original cosponsor of it. It is something the American people want and this Senate should deliver it. The House has already passed this…

I ask my friend, is this the same bill that creates a taxpayers' advocate office?

I ask my friend, is this the same bill that when the IRS is proven to have done something wrong, the person who is wronged can collect attorney's fees from the Internal Revenue Service?

I say to my friend, if we do not pass this legislation, now, early in November, until we come back late in January, it is my understanding there will be about 1.5 million Americans who will have dealings with the Internal Revenue Service…

I ask my friend, is that the same bill that passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 424 to 4?

I ask another question to my friend. Isn't it true that the employees of the Internal Revenue Service, these people who work very hard every day--not the bosses, but the employees of the Internal Revenue Service--favor this legislation?

I ask my friend also, during the time that the Finance Committee held their hearing and during the time that the commission met, is it true that there was evidence which came up to show that the IRS did have quotas for advancing people in…

So it's fair to say that virtually everybody in this Chamber, Democrats and Republicans, support this legislation?

Funding is available under this bill for DOE in the Acceleration Demonstration of Federally Sponsored Research for Renewable Energy Production and Environmental Remediation programs account that can be awarded for commercialization of…

I have to applaud the opponents of campaign finance reform. They have done a great job. They set out to confuse and distract from the real issue of campaign reform, and they have succeeded. They have diverted attention from the fact that…

But I have to say that in picking seven relatively small projects out of a $21 billion bill I think the Senator from New Mexico and I in managing this bill did a pretty good job. This bill provides many different things. Let's take, for…
