I commend him for it. What he said was very, very important because, in fact, the question I get asked when I am home and talking about this bill is, ``Why is it necessary to have a law? Why can't people go in and ask their boss to take…

Mr. President, this act is long overdue. This is going to free the hourly employees of our country to have the same flexibility that Federal workers now have, that most State workers now have, that salaried employees now have. Only hourly…

Mr. President, there is no Senate responsibility I take more seriously than the obligation we have to advise and consent on treaties. We are discussing two treaties today that mark the past and the future of arms control. The Conventional…

I correct the Record, because it was in fact the great philosopher Yogi Berra who said, ``It ain't over till it's over.'' I did not want that to go unchallenged. ... I think with the importance of this issue, that it deserves tomorrow…

I want to thank Senators Jeffords and DeWine and Senator Ashcroft for their commitment to this bill. They have followed it through all the way from the beginning--Senator Ashcroft, as the key sponsor, and Senators DeWine and Jeffords, as…

I think the Senator is saying I was correct, then, that we are increasing over the President's own budget that he put forward last year. The Senator is making the point that there are new expenditures that you would like to make. I ask the…

I have seen victims of floods. And I am glad the Senator from California suggested it because I have seen the victims of flood. I live on the gulf coast. I have lived through hurricanes. I have seen my own home flooded. I have seen…

It will be delayed if there is a Government shutdown, but not with a 2-percent cut.
Apr 30, 1997
We are addressing the concerns raised by Senator Daschle. And those concerns are addressed so that we will not have Government by gimmick, so that we will have responsible Government, so that everyone will know what the rules are, and so…
Apr 29, 1997
I want to talk today about welfare reform. Now you may say, ``My goodness, why are you talking about welfare reform? We passed that last year.'' It is true, Congress passed welfare reform last year. We said to the States, ``We want you to…

Thank, you Mr. President. Mr. President, I want to talk today about something that I think will be coming up next week, and that is the supplemental appropriations bill. This will be the first appropriations bill that has come to the floor…

Today we honor our Nation's first Mexican-American Federal judge, Judge Reynaldo G. Garza. I am proud to cosponsor legislation with Senator Gramm to name the new Federal courthouse in Brownsville for Judge Garza. In this way, we will…

I want to say that I had quite an experience yesterday. I went back to my home territory near Texas City, TX, and helped commemorate the 50th anniversary of the worst industrial disaster in the history of America. That was the explosions…

Today is tax day, and for millions of Americans, this is the day that they end their painful ritual of fiscal fealty to the Federal Government. So I thought it would be appropriate to cite a few statistics that make tax day possible…

I hope that we have 100 cosponsors by the time this bill comes to the floor. I would like for it to go on a voice vote. That may be a pipe dream, but, nevertheless, I think it would be responsible Government, and I think it would be right…
Mar 20, 1997
the Senator from Arizona just touched on an important point, and that is, all of us are trying to avoid a vote directly on decertification. No one wants that to happen. But, in fact, if the Senator from Arizona is correct--what all of us…

I think that was the key to this matter, because, in fact, Mr. President, we are losing the war on drugs. Mexico is losing the war on drugs. They are seeing their country rifled with corruption because of the billions of dollars that are…
