This is a piece of legislation which is a victory for the American consumers. It fundamentally changes in the most fair way the burden of correcting misinformation that innocently becomes a part of an individual's credit history. As we…

I am forced to oppose this amendment for several reasons. First, this is a measure which the distinguished Senator has introduced and is currently in Governmental Affairs. It has not had a hearing, and so we are really not familiar with…

No. While a creditor would be immune from civil penalties for initial violations of section 622(a)(1), it would continue to be subject to civil penalties for violation of Federal Trade Commission or State orders, even if the same conduct…

I am pleased to respond. As I said several times today and earlier in the week, Senator Bond's leadership on this piece of legislation made it all possible, and I acknowledge that. His able staff was a delight to work with. They, together…

I want to assure him that neither I nor Senator Bond are unmindful of the concerns which he has raised about the ongoing stream of information that must be made available by those who are in the business of furnishing credit, so that the…

today the Senate is debating one of the most significant pieces of consumer legislation to come before this session of the Congress. Over the past several years, I have expended, personally, a great deal of time working with all the…

I rise in strong support of the amendment offered by my colleague, Senator Reid. As Senator Reid has already described, this amendment would eliminate an unfair and discriminatory tax faced by many retirees in Nevada, and throughout the…

today I join many of my colleagues in cosponsoring one of the most successful and important programs of the Federal Government--Head Start--which has received ringing endorsements by politicians at both ends of the spectrum. The Head Start…

Mr. President, Senator Bond, Senator Riegle, Senator D'Amato, and I are offering an amendment to S. 1275, the Community Development Credit Enhancement, and Regulatory Act of 1993 which will greatly improve our efforts to combat money…

today I am introducing the Interstate Child Support Act of 1994. This legislation will strengthen our efforts to get ``dead beat'' parents to provide for their children. There has been such discussion of late on the issue of family values…
