I think it might be of interest also for the Record to note that during his 38-year military career, among many distinguished assignments both in combat and in peace, Admiral Kelso received the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, the…

on this date of the record, I am at a loss to understand the testimony of the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the testimony of the Secretary of the Navy in recommending four stars for Admiral Kelso…

I wish to add my voice of congratulations to Senator Dole for that speech, and more important for his outstanding service as a U.S. Senator and before that as a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives, and before that as a member of…

I have long supported a line-item veto for the President, I have proposed constitutional amendments to grant the President such authority, and I have supported statutory enhanced rescission authority. As these measures have failed, after…

I will explain this amendment. The amendment transfers $435 million governmental consulting accounts, where there is now some $2.1 billion, an account which is largely recognized to have many items that we can do without. It constitutes a…

I do support the Dodd-Jeffords amendment which would add $6 billion for education grants. This is an amendment which I had discussed with both the Senator from Connecticut and the Senator from Vermont in terms of increasing education…

I said $100 million. If I said $100 billion it was a slip of the lip. At this hour I might have said $100 trillion. I think I said $100 million, but I do know. Whatever I said, I meant $100 million. But I thank the Senator for the…

this amendment transfers $2.1 billion in budget authority and $1.4 billion in outlays from NASA's space station program for fiscal year 1995 into the following areas: First, LIHEAP: $225 million in fiscal year 1995 to restore funds cut by…

I cast this protest vote knowing that the bill would be overwhelmingly approved by the Senate. I did so with substantial reservations because of a strong Pennsylvania constituent interest on general aviation aircraft and a boyhood of…

I believe that we need more information on that, and that would be accomplished by having regular order followed through the Judiciary Committee. The principal change in the rule, as recommended by the advisory committee, is to have…

I intend to oppose cloture on the National Competitiveness Act of 1993. I would like to articulate my reasons for that judgment, because I think that opposing cloture, otherwise known as a filibuster, should be employed only on rare…

I support the amendment made by the Senator from Missouri. It is an unusual amendment in that it seeks to stop appropriations and then calls for the Committee on Finance to consider using equivalent amounts of money to make permanent the…

today I am introducing along with my colleagues Senator Levin, Senator Murray, and Senator Metzenbaum, a joint resolution to designate the week of May 29, 1994 through June 4, 1994, as ``Pediatric and Adolescent AIDS Awareness Week.'' This…

I will speak for a few moments this afternoon about the American judicial system, and I speak not really as a lawyer or as a Senator but as an American who has just had an opportunity to observe the Supreme Court of the United States in…

Today's argument considered at some length a case handed down by the Supreme Court involving reapportionment. Secretary of Commerce Barbara Franklin submitted the census report to the President, who certified the numbers. The Supreme Court…

If I might respond in one sentence? She has representation--me. I intend to vote for this constitutional amendment.

I believe that his attitudes on a number of matters in foreign policy--on Soviet affairs, on Israeli affairs, on Angolan affairs--should be subject to severe question and to substantial criticism. What he has had to say about Israel is…

Mr. President, that article was, in fact, written on April 23, 1990 and I believe that it forms a fair basis for a question as to what Mr. Talbott's views are on the establishment of a Palestinian State. His answer follows: This…

I find this vote on the confirmation of Ambassador-at-Large Strobe Talbott to be very difficult because it involves several important and pertinent considerations. First, I believe in giving the President wide discretion in selecting his…

The Senate vote this week to lift the embargo on Vietnam recognizes the tremendous potential for trade with our former enemy and the entire region. Americans are just beginning to awaken to the fact that two-way trade with the…

I will just have a comment or two about the applicability of the pending appropriation for disasters which have occurred in Pennsylvania, where there was an extraordinary earthquake in Berks County, Reading, and where there have been very…

I consider this to be a very important amendment, Mr. President. This amendment provides for the private administration of public schools. It may turn out to be a very important experiment which could materially improve the educational…

I think it would be important to recognize that neither Senators Smith or Kerry, nor Senator McCain have all of the information; nor do we, because of perhaps our long involvement in this issue, have a totally objective view of the issue…
