You are one of the seven. You are very fortunate. But North Dakota is located in the perimeter of this State. As we have learned, North Dakota produces a lot of things. But one thing it produces is very good students. We have heard Senator…

The Nuclear Waste Technical Reviewing Board clearly stated: The board sees no compelling technical or safety reason to move spent fuel to a centralized storage facility for the next few years. This a statement they just made: The methods…

that is a debatable issue. There are some who say that the ratepayers should continue and it should not be appropriated money of the United States. But there are others who are saying we are going to sue you, the Federal Government…

Yes, because they have asked the Federal Government to take over the project. Up to this time, much of the expense has been borne by ratepayers at so much per kilowatt per electricity into this fund. The fund has been used to repair the…

This is interesting. Each site--and we have a little over 100 nuclear waste generating facilities in the United States--it would cost about $6 million per site to store nuclear waste where it now exists.

Yes, that is absolutely the case. I say to my friend from North Dakota, I have only been to North Dakota once in my life. That was to meet with a number of people in North Dakota. Some of the people with whom I met were people from the…

last night Mollie Beattie passed away after a hard battle with cancer throughout which she continued to show her dedication to the Fish and Wildlife Service and her public duty. Those who serve in government are often maligned and…

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…

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…

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.''

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…

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?

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…

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.

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…

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…

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…

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 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…

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?

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…

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…
