The Senator made a point that I think has to be emphasized because you hear a lot of comments that this is a ``tax break for the rich'' or this is ``benefiting the wealthy.'' But the Senator said something that is probably the most…

I have to say, this debate is somewhat disturbing. We have been discussing taking some of the money people have worked hard to earn and have sent here to Washington--and we have a surplus of money coming here now; we have a tax surplus for…

So we really do have a real choice here. And the choice is between preparing for what we know is to come, preparing for the demographic cliff we are going to fall off, which is the baby boom generation, where we are going to go right now…

I believe we have a good team here. We have a good team here in the U.S. Senate. We have a good team in the House, a good team in the White House. I am very optimistic that we can work together and really produce for the American public…

In conclusion, Madam President, I thank Senator Brownback for his great work and perseverance in bringing this crime-fighting package to the Senate to pass it and turn it into law quickly. Aimee's law was debated and considered here in the…

I rise today to query my distinguished colleague from Alaska, the chairman of the Appropriations Committee, on a program of importance to my constituents. Mr. Chairman, is it the intention of the conference committee that of the $4,000,000…

The lack of a coherent and consistent energy policy has contributed to the high fuel prices that have hit the working families in Pennsylvania and across the nation very hard. It is the lack of a national energy policy that has led to our…
