I rise today to introduce the Illegal Immigration Control Act of 1994. This bill would reform virtually every aspect of immigration law and would reduce the staggering costs associated with illegal immigration which is currently assumed by…

Yes, I appreciate the Senator from Kentucky having the bill right before him because that was exactly my interpretation. When I looked at it, there were no exceptions for legal defense funds to the $20 limitation. As I said, I certainly…

I would like to just ask Senator Levin if there is not a $20 limitation on all gifts from all the other people. I would not argue at all about lobbyists not contributing to a legal defense fund. That would be fine. But when you are talking…

Thank you, Mr. President. Mr. President, I would like to talk about something that really has not been talked about by very many people in this debate. Unfortunately, it is because not very many people in this body have had the experience…

I would like to respond to my distinguished colleague from Kentucky because he has brought up one set of circumstances. But my situation is not covered by the Levin-Wellstone bill. My situation would continue because I was elected to the…

Mr. President, I rise to support the Dole amendment. It has become clear to people in the United States and around the world that the U.N. policies with regard to Bosnia and Herzegovina are not comprehensible; they are not coherent. In…

it has become clear to people in the United States and around the world that the United Nations policies with regard to Bosnia and Herzegovina are not comprehensible, are not coherent, in fact the problem is there is no policy. Once again…

I would like to say a few words about a dear friend and neighbor, whose contributions to my hometown of La Marque, TX, as both a good samaritan and civic leader, have been invaluable. Esther Rice, or ``Aunt Esther'' as many called her, was…

Thank you, Madam President. Madam President, our debate this afternoon should not be construed as an assault on the U.S. military, on the Navy, or on any individual in the armed services. Instead, I believe this is a debate involving two…

I would like to close on this amendment. All of the problems of the Federal Government are not embodied right here in the legislative branch, but if we are going to ask the people of America to accept higher taxes or fewer services, and if…

I just want the Senator from Nevada to understand that the Senate minority Budget Committee prepared a draft of possible ways that the cuts could be made. These are not my priorities, and I did not distribute this. I would not make some of…

I thank the Senator from Utah for being a leader in putting his money where his mouth is. He ran as an outsider, as a small business person. He knew that you could consistently bring down a budget, and he has cut 10 percent from his own…

Thank you Mr. President. I really appreciate what our colleague from Florida, Senator Mack, is doing, and I certain liked the colloquy between the two Senators because it really does show what our problem is. Federal deficits and…

we all say that Government must live within its means. If we cannot reach that goal today with the whole Federal budget, we can at least make a meaningful down payment, one the American people will understand and I believe they will…

I rise today in support of the Republican alternative budget resolution. Although news from the provinces sometimes arrives late in this city, surely we must all realize how hard it is for middle-class American families to provide for…

I rise in support of S. 476, legislation reauthorizing and amending the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Establishment Act. This legislation contains provisions of significant importance to my home State of Texas and the…

I want to mention that today, March 2, is Texas Independence Day. I want to prolong a tradition that was started by my good friend and colleague, the late Senator John Tower, by reading the letter that Colonel William Barret Travis sent…

I rise today in support of a provision of a bill that we are going to pass in the Senate by unanimous consent in the next couple of days. I thank Senators Kennedy, Hatch, and Kassebaum for working with me on a very important amendment for…

Madam President, I rise today to add my voice to those who are calling for a balanced budget amendment. I want to compliment the senior Senators from Illinois and Utah, Mr. Simon and Mr. Hatch, for their fine work on this very important…

Gen. Marc Cisneros is going to participate tomorrow in the changing of command at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, TX. He is being promoted from major general to lieutenant general so that he can take command of a very important base…

I rise today to join Senator Dole and 15 of my colleagues in introducing the Government Downsizing, Performance, and Accountability Act of 1994 and to call for its prompt enactment. Its not surprising to me, Mr. President, that when…
