Then we have chosen sides in this conflict. Let there be no doubt we have chosen sides. I wish to ask this question: Clearly defined, are we doing this in response to compassion and emotion, or are we doing it as a part of the NATO force…

I think I received a third answer, and that is that we go ahead, irrespective of whether Britain or France agree. I say that is unilateral intervention by the United States. That stamps this conflict, then, 'Made in the U.S.A.' And we…

in closing, would the drafters of this amendment consider amending it in some manner to reflect that while the United States may have a legal right under international law to lift such embargo as this country is responsible for, we will do…

I will remind my good friend from Connecticut that I ran a calculation. There are 36 conflicts going on in the world today. Most of them civil wars, cultural wars, religious wars. Yes, we are appalled about the tragedy unfolding before our…

first I wish to commend Senators to read the Congressional Record of April 14, page S. 4366, when the distinguished chairman of the Armed Services Committee spoke to this body about this issue before. His previous statement, and the…

But a military at all levels is a partnership between that service person who wears the uniform--be he or she male or female--and the spouse and the family. That is what is being judged by the Senate today. And I put that question to the…

I feel that this bill indeed does need some drafting because this is a bit of an innovation to ask landowners to make the land available for public inspection and to assume associated risk with tort liabilities with visitors coming on, and…

I acknowledge the win by the distinguished colleague from Arkansas but in a way Virginia won because there is a magnificent addition to a park that has been in existence for many years, preserving the history of the first and second…

This amendment applies to eight pieces of land, battlefields in the valley of Virginia, fought over by two famous military figures in American history--Gen. Stonewall Jackson, one of the most revered men in the State of Virginia, and Gen…

I rise to bring to the Senate's attention yet another attempt to tamper with the minimum allocation program. I alert all my colleagues from donor States to pay careful attention to this debate and the importance of the amendment by Senator…

I join with those who have spoken during consideration of this budget resolution and the impact that cuts in discretionary spending, as indicated in the Exon-Grassley provision, would have on the defense budget and our national security. I…

I rise today to introduce legislation, along with all of my seven fellow Korean war era veterans who are currently serving in the Senate, which would designate July 27 of each year as the ``National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day.''…

2 years ago, I cosponsored with Senator Bob Kerrey an important amendment to the intelligence authorization bill for fiscal year 1993, directing the administration to update its policy for the domestic and overseas sales of satellite…

I rise today to strongly support the amendment introduced by Senator Kassebaum. Mr. President, we cannot ignore the fact that product liability remains an extremely serious problem for many industries. I recently did some research with…

I am pleased to join others today all across the greater Washington metropolitan area in saluting Washington's own radio station, WTOP, as it celebrates 25 years of all-news broadcasting. Today WTOP will be honored with a gala celebration…

I rise to commend my colleague, the senior Senator from Pennsylvania [Mr. Specter], for personally arguing yesterday the case of Dalton versus Specter before the Supreme Court of the United States. This case was originally filed by…

it is my privilege today to recognize and commend the many contributions made by one of the Senate's most talented and distinguished staff advisers, a native of my own Commonwealth of Virginia, Robert C. Louthian. Having served longer than…

I am pleased to join with Chairman Baucus and other colleagues to introduce legislation to designate the National Highway System. The National Highway System is the cornerstone of the 1991 Intermodal Surface Transportation and Efficiency…

I draw my colleagues attention to an extremely disturbing article which appeared recently on the front page of the Washington Post. The article, entitled ``Marines Toys for Tots Spent Millions on Itself; Donations Used to Run Charity, Not…

Almost every evening on the news we see the U.S. military protecting American interests around the globe. More often than not these American military forces include naval forces. A year ago, it was Navy carrier-based aircraft that were…

I expressed my concerns about an expanded use of air power in Bosnia. I also expressed my belief that it is essential, and I repeat--it is essential--that the Congress at the earliest opportunity begin a full and thorough debate regarding…

It is a courageous answer to really an unanswerable question. But we have to answer this question, because time and time again the American taxpayers are asked to reach into their pockets to replenish the losses of others in a disaster…

We had a disaster in our State last year, caused by tornadoes. Senator Robb and I and others interceded. We were not able to get full FEMA assistance. We are puzzled as to why it goes to California, but not there. I am very pleased to…
