I disagreed with that decision. I offered an alternative.

Boy, the word goes through the ranks fast.

The entire support and legal system at the Academy appears to have failed.

I'm here as a United States Senator solely because of the GI Bill.

Defending our Nation against these enemies is the first fundamental commitment for the Federal Government.

The United States faces a near-term ICBM threat from North Korea. Over the next several years, we could face a similar threat from Iran and possibly Iraq.

Our President has in a very courageous and proper manner pursued the diplomatic route to resolve this problem in Iraq.

I think these actions are a good start, but it is not enough.

If not, we will make it mandatory.

UAVs could be used to monitor the safety and integrity of our Nation's major oil and gas pipelines.

I believe that UAVs could prove most valuable in helping to monitor remote stretches of our northern and southern borders.

I have great respect for Secretary Rumsfeld and his team, but I guess there are times when Congress has to step out.

I want to congratulate you on the work that you spearheaded to bring into proper alignment America's commitments, financial and otherwise, to that important organization, the United Nations.

One of the most extraordinary debates in the Congress of the United States, and most particularly in the Senate of the United States, on whether or not to utilize force to authorize the President, then George Bush, to use force, was…

I ask unanimous consent to use such time as I may require, although I will yield to others as they appear in the Chamber seeking recognition.

I think it should be noted from time to time, particularly on this, presumably one of the last 2 days of the Congress, that this distinguished President pro tempore has reported every morning the Senate has convened, so far as I know, to…
