I am not sure the Record can reflect, which it will not, the emotion that was given in the rendition of this speech by the Senator from New Hampshire. I hope that the people of New Hampshire, whoever reads this in the Record and whoever…

I had a very close personal friend--we were raised together, he and his family. We were neighbors when we were boys. We talked often about his little boy in a Little League baseball game. This is a big, rough family--always very physical…

But I also want the record to reflect that this process has taken years, and but for the direction and patience of both the chairman, Senator Baucus, and the ranking member, Senator Chafee, we certainly would not have been able to be to…

I wanted this spread on the Record, Mr. President, because I wanted the Record to reflect that anyone wanting to come and tell us about the problems with lead, either pro or con, has been given the opportunity to do that.

this modification consists of seven components. The changes to the original bill have been discussed on both sides of the aisle, and it is my understanding there is agreement to accept this modifying language. However, for Members who are…

This section is intended to preserve State and other Federal statutory and common law with respect to whether the labeling requirements of this bill may be used as a defense by a manufacturer in any civil or criminal action brought under…

we hear so many negative things, especially as the Senator from New Hampshire indicated, about stars. I had, yesterday, a 10-year-old girl come to visit me who had AIDS. She had been to see me a couple of years before--a tiny little girl…

in short, this amendment seeks to ensure that the rights of sovereign tribal governments are fully respected, as the memorandum outlines. This amendment ensures that Indian tribes are consulted in determining the use of funds to address…

Let me close by saying, I said this publicly in the last 5 years, and I say it this year. If the conference committee comes up with a reasonable reform, the companies that do business in Nevada have asked me if I will support reasonable…

I also will say, if you look at those 59 claims, 56 or 57 of them--leaving 1 or 2 of modern mines--all the rest of mines that are very, very old. That does not mean the mining industry should not be involved in cleaning those up. I think…

I will be happy to respond. We have done something about that. We have solved that problem so people cannot go out and file miles and miles of claims anymore. In fact, prior to our changing the law with the holding fee, we had in Nevada…

last Monday the Washington Post newspaper ran an insightful editorial that was entitled ``On Not Blaming Immigrants First.'' The editorial rightly admonished those involved in the immigration debate to avoid the pitfalls made earlier when…

I do not want to engage in a long debate on the merits of mining law reform, but I feel it incumbent upon me to make a statement in response to the distinguished Senator from Arkansas regarding mining law reform. Mr. President, there were…

Scapegoating immigrants have no place in a just and moral society. And, it certainly should not find shelter and life in a country that prides itself on being a nation of immigrants. The ugly anti-immigrant sentiments, which are often…

Senator Inouye and I would not accept that suggested change. We do not need to debate it here now, Mr. President. Right now that is the whole problem the Indian nation has, that someone else is doing the work for them. We want this work to…

Congress in its daily routine of deliberating and passing legislation, especially environmental legislation such as the Safe Drinking Water Act, being dealt with on the floor today, makes decisions that affect hundreds of thousands of…

The fact of the matter is that my good friend from Arkansas could not go out and get a bunch of people together to raise money and go in and do this. We are talking about investments of hundreds of millions of dollars. For example, near my…

Mr. President, I am a cosponsor of the bill introduced by Senator Campbell to study the designation of the Old Spanish Trail and the Northern Branch of the Old Spanish Trail as a national historic trail. This trail, and its Northern…

the truth is stranger than fiction. On the eastern side of Nevada where one of these trails is, these people would walk across miles and miles and miles of desert. The first water they came to, the early people did not know, but it was…

I have been wearing eye glasses now for about a year. I went to my ophthalmologist, a man I have known in Las Vegas for many years, to get my new glasses. As we were waiting for his staff to come, we were sitting in his office visiting, he…

Last September, I had the opportunity to spend 1 day going over the immigrant trails to California. It was a wonderful experience to see the wagon ruts that crossed this land, some of the last people having gone across here well over 100…

1 year ago, on May 5, 1993, our esteemed colleague Robert C. Byrd initiated a series of 14 addresses on the subject of the line-item-veto. During the following 5 months, he delivered each of these speeches--packed with names, dates, and…

on Saturday, April 30, the Anti-Defamation League will be honoring Dr. Ikram Khan of Las Vegas, NV, with its prestigious Distinguished Public Service Award. As every Member of the U.S. Senate knows, the Anti-Defamation League has been a…

Congress is currently considering one of the most comprehensive cases of anticrime legislation, and that is consistent with what all of us are hearing from our constituents on a daily basis: Enact tough but fair legislation so that those…

However, I would say let us switch the burden. If in fact there is something wrong with this amendment--which I do not think there is; I think it has been clearly illustrated why it would help the business community of America and not help…
