I respond to my friend, we not only have a danger of the listing, but to this Senator a real concern about not listing. If we wait too long--and that is what we are doing in this instance. I indicated we have 243 that are waiting to be…

There has been consideration given to that. But, I would say to my friend from Nebraska, that I think, as I have indicated, we now have 243 species that have already been listed and we have 182 candidate species. I do not really think that…

One of the things we need to work on, and we are working on in the reauthorization of this bill, is to allow better science and to allow more than just the Federal agencies to have some voice in whether or not a species is threatened.

I feel, the moratorium has been very detrimental to scientific listing of plants and animals. During the period of time this moratorium has been in effect, the Senator from Nevada and the junior Senator from Idaho have been working on a…

I reluctantly disagree with my friend from Montana on the bulk of his statement. I say to my friend before he leaves the floor that one of the most pleasant experiences I have had in the U.S. Senate has been working with the junior Senator…

This unanimous-consent request contains a provision that was passed in this body by a vote of 100 to nothing, the Nickles-Reid amendment, which would allow the Congress to look at regulations promulgated by Federal agencies. If it has a…

The final decision would rest with the agency of jurisdiction. However, I think under the proposal of the Senator from Idaho and myself, prior to arriving at that point there would be a much more deliberative process than there is now.

I say to my friend, I personally feel as if the unanimous- consent request is excellent. I think the content of the unanimous- consent request would allow us to go forward with regulatory reform which is badly needed. It especially directs…

Under the Nickles-Reid amendment, if the financial impact is such, as they were told it was in southern Nevada, if there is no financial impact, we continue. But if there is a financial impact, this Congress would have a right because that…

about 11 months ago, I stood on this floor and indicated to this body that it was about to make a crucial mistake, a critical mistake. At that time the U.S. Senate was considering a moratorium on the listing of endangered species. Those…

the conference report on S. 652 is finally being considered by the Senate. We have heard much about the positive changes to this bill and the ramifications for the telecommunications industry. But I must still express my concern about the…

I would respond to my friend's question that the answer is yes. Even in Reno, NV, northern Nevada, why, we have significant numbers of people coming from California all the time, and they many times do continue when they are visiting…

first of all I commend Senator Dole and those leaders on the other side of the aisle who yesterday made it possible to pass a clean CR. I am sorry we did not do it sooner. I wish it had been done sooner. But I commend and applaud the…

I want to say, because I saw on the floor the Senator from Arizona, Senator Jon Kyl, who has been extremely helpful in preparing this legislation based upon his experience in the law and the work his staff has done, and I want to…

But as I told the Senator from New York, I have done something he has not done, and that is, I have spent a night in a homeless shelter in Las Vegas. Truly one of the remarkable experiences of my life--I do not know if "remarkable" is the…

Thank you. Professor Moran stated what most believe is simply common sense. He said if we can change the behavior of adult men who father illegitimate children, we could make a substantial dent in the rate of teenage illegitimacy. Instead…

I first want to say, when I was in the House of Representatives, I supported the nuclear freeze. I also want to say initially, I think the problem in the world today is not nuclear testing, but nuclear weapons. Having said that, I feel it…

the proponents of sight infrastructure costs as their main argument, but this facility will produce training for 50 years. I say, what is the lowest life cycle cost of 50 years? Do we care? We should care, Mr. President.

What is a hydronuclear experiment? I am quoting: Nuclear materials, either plutonium or uranium are configured with high explosives in a geometry very similar to a nuclear explosion. The amount of material and/or the geometry are chosen so…

my friend, the ranking member, the former chairman of the committee, said the only question is what kind of facility. Well, that really is not the only question. But, in fact, if that were the only question, why in the world would you want…

I have stood silently by for a long time now because I have the same feeling that a lot of us have, one of desperation, despair. I was forced to think about this as a result of the statement given yesterday by the Senator from the State of…

in 1969 the Cuyahoga River in Ohio caught fire. I repeat, the Cuyahoga River caught fire. This river was so polluted that it actually started burning. As a result of this, Members of Congress and the President decided it was time we did…

in the mid-1960's, when I first decided to seek political office, I ran for a seat on the hospital board of trustees for Southern Nevada Memorial Hospital. This was not considered a political plum, nor did the race engender much public…

I have used as an illustration some of the things that are being done on the other side of the aisle, as being--well, they remind me some of the things that go on in Las Vegas. We have in Las Vegas the greatest magicians, illusionists in…

I say to my friend that the Democrats are not against tax cuts. But I think we have to have our priorities in order. Do we take $90 billion away from senior citizens? As indicated, $1 out of every $3 they have they have to spend on health…
