the titanium metals is located in a place called Henderson, NV. Henderson, NV, is a town that was developed during the Second World War. It was built for no other purpose than to supply essential war products to the allied war efforts. It…

the Department of Energy, as of September 30, 1997, is authorized to apply stockpile stewardship funds to infrastructure costs of the Nevada Test Site associated with new Department of Defense programs at the site. Presently, there are…

I should like to discuss a matter of some importance to me in the State of Nevada, and to many Nevadans. We had an outstanding two-term Governor in Mike O'Callaghan. He is only one of five two-term governors in Nevada's history. He has…

I fully support the recommendations in this bill that is now before the Senate. I compliment the chairman of the subcommittee, the distinguished Senator from Montana [Mr. Burns], for his excellent work and that of his staff. The chairman…

I ask the Senator one more question. Does the Senator see a pattern, as I see a pattern, that during the past 18 months the majority, every time we are on the verge of passing something meaningful, that a poison pill is thrown into the…

I have a quote that the Senator did make, and I ask if the Senator recalls this statement having been made from the majority leader of the U.S. House of Representatives, Dick Armey, who says, ``Medicare has no place in a free world.''

Now, we didn't get rid of it in round one because we didn't think it was politically smart, but we believe Medicare is going to wither on the vine.

I say to my friend, who has had a lot of experience in this body, if the medical savings account provision were dropped, how long do you think it would take to pass this bill?

Just so there is no misunderstanding, I want to state what was said by the Republican nominee for the U.S. Presidency in October of last year: ``I was there fighting the fight''--a direct quote--``one of 12 voting against Medicare, because…

I will close by giving the direct quote of the majority leader of the U.S. House of Representatives: Medicare has no place in a free world. Social Security is a rotten trick. I think we are going to have to bite the bullet on Social…

What we have seen take place here in the last hour or 45 minutes is what has been going on in the Senate for the last 8 or 10 months. We cannot do things quite perfect enough. There is always some kind of a problem. With the balanced…

I believe that we should proceed with caution on something as serious as this. I know my friend from Minnesota has probably been inconvenienced, as has this Senator. I have had to change one of my routes to my residence in Washington as a…

This amendment encompasses two projects and is offered on my behalf and Senator Bryan. These two projects are for the State of Nevada. The reason they were not included in the matter we voted on last is the fact that Top Gun just moved to…

I certainly would never question the good intentions of my friend from Ohio or the Senator from the State of Arizona, but I think it is important to know that the chairman of this subcommittee, the junior Senator from the State of Montana…

I appreciate very much their efforts. I appreciate the cooperative spirit in which we have worked over many years, along with the Senator from Ohio. I disagree, obviously, as I have pointed out, with this add-on, but that in no way…

this amendment to the sense-of-the-Senate resolution now pending would state simply that prior to opening the street to vehicular traffic, the Secretary of the Treasury and the Secret Service would certify that the plan protects the…

the Las Vegas Strip, as important as it is, is not the center of Government of this country. The White House and the Capitol complex is. I would also say to people within the sound of my voice, in the statement of Director Bowron of the…

So the Senator from Minnesota feels that the proper way to determine security of the Capitol complex and the White House is on the floor, without congressional hearings of any kind? Any kind of hearings?

I hope the American public, on this interchange between the distinguished Senator from Minnesota and the Senator from Nevada, would not think this is how we do business all the time; that is, take legislative action and then hold hearings…

I can not support the nomination of Alan Greenspan. He has rendered great service to the country. But I think the time has come for new leadership. We need to look at what is taking place at the Fed not only regarding its monetary policy…

I rise today to recognize such a person, Father Bill Kenny of Las Vegas. Father Kenny's achievement is different; he is a man who has devoted his entire life to helping others, and on a continual, daily basis, he gives his energy, his…

I ask the American public to understand the opposition to Medicare, as a program. For example, I wonder if those same Senators who talk about how they were rallying to help Medicare would recognize that just last year, late in the year…

Mr. President, as I indicated, this is a beautiful publication about the Great Basin National Park. It has wonderful pictures, color pictures of a wonderful national resource. The oldest living things in the world are in the Great Basin…

I have here a publication on the Great Basin National Park. It is called ``The Story Behind the Scenery.'' It is a new publication, one of which I am very proud, because it showcases a national park that we have in the State of Nevada.

I am going to speak on the Kerry amendment that is an umbrella environmental amendment, and that way I will not offer my amendment, which is more specific. Theirs is more broad than mine.
