I just want the money.

This has happened. Someone got into the computer system at a dam and was in a position to control whether or not the floodgates would be opened or closed.

That is a good summary, because in World War II, a lot of information from the private sector was considered secret, classified, shared with the government with the understanding that it would not be available.

In the spirit of full disclosure, I am going to be very shameless in pushing my bill.

That is exactly the point of my bill. It says you can share this information and it will stay secure within the government.

I appreciate you being here and I agree with Senator Gramm that your opening statement was unusually clear.

I am a new Member of this body. I have not been here through much of the past history that my colleagues are referring to here. But I want to make some observations about some of those ideas. The majority leader almost persuades me that we…

I think I have made my point about the absurdity of economic democracy as outlined by Professor Shearer, and I would have no objection whatsoever to the recommendation of the majority leader.

In the course of that visit, I became acquainted with the challenges facing the two countries as we near the time of having to decide whether or not the United States will renew the most-favored-nation status for China. The thing that…

I give full credit to the President of the United States for his having raised the issue and putting it high on the agenda. There is no question that it is a problem in our country. I disagree with those who say there is no crisis in…

I was one of the four on the committee who voted against this bill, and I am here today on behalf of the Republicans on the committee to see that it is handled in a proper and expeditious fashion. I agree completely that this is an area of…

I join with others of my colleagues in rising to pay tribute to Richard Nixon during this time of national mourning prior to his funeral. I have a number of memories of the former President as do many Members of this body. I also represent…

I am pleased to associate myself with the legislation of the Senator from Oregon as a cosponsor of S. 455. Many of my colleagues feel as I do that action on PILT is long overdue. Counties around the country depend upon this program to…

I do not believe that this amendment would be one, as it has been characterized, that it would gut the bill. I think, to the contrary, it would establish some public confidence in the Federal Government's stability in terms of its…

I believe in national parks. I believe that the national park designation is a better designation, frankly, than the wilderness designation because it allows people into it while the wilderness designation usually does not. I think that…

I must, however, disagree with her comments about history. In the early days of the national parks, no national park was created until all inholdings had been acquired. The legislation was not brought to the floor of the Congress until…

This amendment would not take away the national park designation of any other park.

I agree that under one set of circumstances it would appear that they would have a veto. Congress continues to meet. If they would refuse to sell, I believe we could sit down then and draw up a national park that could exclude those…

In my opinion that would not constitute a veto power. Even though Catellus is large, they have not abdicated their constitutional rights to be compensated for that which constitutes a taking. I know there will be argument they still own…

Whenever a conference report contains language that does not arise from the language passed in either House or deletes language that was passed by both Houses, that report will be subject to a point of order and require 60 votes to pass…

I have not put a sharp pencil on the savings which the Senate would achieve if some of those changes were made, but I am confident that the elimination of some of the standing committees, as contemplated by the Rules Committee, and the…

I am grateful for the spirit of cooperation that is behind these expressions and want Senators to know how grateful I am. I say to the chairman, I would be happy to work on mining reform and, indeed, will be involved in that as well as…

I share in some of the concerns that my good friend from Wyoming voiced when he began his presentation. I am uncomfortable opposing the Senator from Wyoming on a business or political matter, and I have great respect for his judgment and…

I appreciate the comments made by the distinguished majority leader. I do not wish to engage in controversy with him over this matter, but I would like to have printed in the Record comments by the New York Times in their lead editorial…

the issue of North Korea's nuclear weapons program has been of public interest for over a year. On some days it appears on the front page of every major newspaper in America. After conducting a recent energy committee fact-finding tour in…
