The Public Record
Dr. Foster said: I have worked at George W. Hubbard Hospital. At Meharry Medical College, all of my patient records and all of the operative logs from the time I went to Meharry in 1973 until tonight have revealed that I was listed as the…
We cannot continue that rate of growth. Earned income tax credit, a program that this President is very proud of, the last 4 years has grown at 11, 55, 18 percent, 1994 at 22 percent, 1995 at 55 percent. That is an exploding entitlement…
just looking at the language on page 35 of the bill, that is really where we are amending the section, that section 202, that is the one which defines the call for reports. Basically it says the report shall be issued if you have…
If the Senator will let me respond, again, I think you are right. The reference is to the legislation. My guess is that the regulatory agencies would determine the fiscal impact. I would think they would do it not on fiscal year but on…
first, I wish to compliment the leaders of this legislation, Senator Kempthorne and Senator Glenn, for their patience and for their diligence in pursuing a piece of legislation which I think is very much needed and is a very good piece of…
on this resolution, I have been working with the Senator from California, and I appreciate her cooperation as well as the cooperation of the Senator from Washington, Senator Murray, in trying to come up with a resolution that we can…
I do remember in 1993, I introduced congressional coverage as an amendment on the floor, and I remember Senator Mitchell, who was then the majority leader of the Senate, objecting, and he was successful in defeating us by a few votes. I…
I rise as a cosponsor and supporter of S. 1. I wish to congratulate Senator Kempthorne, especially for his leadership on this issue. I am delighted to have it up on the floor of the Senate so we would not have to listen to him every week…
I wish to first compliment Senator Brown of Colorado for his leadership in opposing this nomination. I join him in opposing Sam Brown for the post of Ambassador to the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe. Senator Brown, I…
in a classic case of big brother gone wild, the Environmental Protection Agency on March 9, 1994, promulgated a rule to ban the manufacture and sale of lead, zinc, and brass fishing sinkers and jigs, which are weighted hooks. This EPA…
I appreciate where he is coming from--the private sector, the era that believes that individuals and businesses know how to set labor rates better than the Federal Government. He happens to be right. This does not keep the law as it is. As…
I rise in opposition to S. 636, the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. It has a nice title. I am opposed to it because it does not do what its supporters claim it will do. Its effect will be a very profound chilling effect against…
I do not think charity giving of honoraria should be banned. I will confess. I am going to make a confession. I play golf, which is a terrible crime, I understand. And I participate in charity golf tournaments. I played in one recently…
I wish to compliment Senators Johnston and McConnell for their leadership, because this is not an easy issue to lead on. It is one that has a lot of people feeling uncomfortable and uncertain on what we should be doing. I look at their…
I rise to compliment my colleague from Oklahoma for the statement he has just made. I also compliment him for 16 outstanding years of service in the U.S. Senate. I congratulate him for his announcement that he will be retiring from the…
In section 2 of this bill, the language provides a 25- percent deposit cap or concentration limit for banks in any one State. Oklahoma law currently sets an 11 percent deposit cap in the State banking code. Under the House version of this…
I also oppose this conference report. Madam President, it is difficult to find something that 8 in 10 Americans agree upon. But, a poll released this week shows that 79 percent of the public believe government wastes a lot of the money…
I wish to compliment Senator Dole for his leadership in--I am saying Bosnia but really I mean in Yugoslavia. I had the pleasure of traveling with Senator Dole and several colleagues a couple years or three ago to the former Yugoslavia. I…
Rosemary Barkett, chief justice of the Florida Supreme Court, has been nominated to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. I am going to vote against her. To help explain my vote, I will refer to three capital punishment…
I do not know all the answers, and I do not have answers to all the questions, but I am concerned about this. I am concerned when I know we have one colleague in the Senate who is under investigation by the Justice Department for basically…
I will respond, since this is tax day, that the tax increase that passed last year was a tax on everybody, including my now 18-year-old daughter. She drives an automobile, and gasoline taxes went up for everybody. So anybody who drives a…
lasting traditions are built around great people who are dedicated and committed to succeed. Such a tradition exists at Oklahoma State University in collegiate wrestling. It began with the vision of coach Ed Gallagher in 1916, followed by…
I wish to congratulate and compliment my friend and colleague from Mississippi for this amendment. I just watched and listened to some of the debate. A lot of people have attacked this amendment and criticized this amendment. Of course…
I wish to compliment my colleagues, Senator Hutchison, Senator Gramm, and Senator Domenici, for their statements in support of this alternative. I think this is a positive alternative. It is important to note for the Record, though, that…
I wish to thank my friend and colleague, Senator Simpson, from Wyoming for putting this package together. I wish to especially say thank you to my friend and colleague, Senator Murkowski, from Alaska, for the statement he made concerning…
Politicians like Don Nickles
