I rise today in tribute to a great Utah man of science, Dr. Roger R. Williams, whose life came to a tragic end last Wednesday in the horrific crash of Swissair Flight 111. Tomorrow, Dr. Williams' remarkable life will be celebrated at a…

I am disappointed that Members on the other side of the aisle do not wish to take up juvenile crime legislation under an agreement that provides the Senate chance of getting this done. We all know that time is short and the schedule…

in many respects, I have been pulling for the President to pull through this problem and one who had hoped that the speech he gave never would have had to have been given, and who still is very concerned about our country and how this…

the last several weeks leading up to the end of a Congress are always a pressure packed time and a challenging time for all Members of this body. This fall, of course, is no exception. Given the legislative challenges we face, I would…

you know, by some counts--some can count as many as nine requests for preliminary reviews in this matter. We are now almost 2 to 3 years down the line. The evidence is growing cold. The witnesses are absenting the country. We have evidence…

S. 53 is intended to have no effect other than to clarify the status of major league players under the antitrust laws. With regard to all other context or other persons or entities, the law will be the same after passage of the Act as it…

The bill simply makes it clear that major league baseball players have the same rights under the antitrust laws as do other professional athletes. The bill does not change current law in any other context or with respect to any other…

today I offer on behalf of myself and Senator Leahy, the Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee, an amendment in the nature of a substitute to S. 53, the Curt Flood Act of 1997. This bill, which was reported out of the Judiciary…

This new bill specifically precludes courts from relying on the bill to change the application of the antitrust laws in areas other than player-owner relations; clarifies who has standing under the new law; and adds several provisions…

today I pay tribute to the noteworthy efforts of the Utah Assistive Technology Program, which has helped empower individuals with disabilities, allowing them to live more rewarding, productive, and independent lives. An estimated 216,100…

I rise in support of the San Rafael Swell National Heritage and Conservation Act. As a cosponsor of this measure, I applaud the efforts of my friend and colleague, Senator Bennett, for bringing this matter before the United States Senate…

This is an amendment to reauthorize the Office of the National Drug Control Policy. In this era of passivity and neglect toward what I believe should remain a vigorous war on drugs, we as Americans must refuse to give up the fight against…

I would appreciate the Senator working with me to address my concerns over the BATF's withdrawing support for this important task force.

I have been honored to serve here in the Senate for 22 years. I have to say that, to a person, our Capitol Hill Police are terrific human beings; to a person, they are dedicated to their jobs and they want to do the best they can. Frankly…

I appreciate the manager of the bill accepting the amendment I filed to the Commerce-Justice-State appropriations bill, S. 2660, which directs the Attorney General to identify two major metropolitan areas besieged by gun-related crime and…

For some time, I have been disturbed over reports that the Drug Enforcement Administration has been imposing multiple, substantial fines for what amount to minor pharmacy record-keeping violations. I am referring to cases in which no…

H.R. 3579, which became law, required the Secretary of Commerce to review the project and submit a report to Congress by March of 1998. This is the Jefferson Solutions report that I referred to earlier. The cost-benefit analysis that…

I was pleased that the Commerce, Justice, State, Judiciary appropriations bill as reported to the Senate included an increase of $20,000,000 over current levels for the Boys and Girls Clubs, bringing total funding for this outstanding…

That is true, but the report language seems to suggest that the Attorney General assume some of these responsibilities. Is this how the Committee meant for its guidance to be interpreted?

As the sponsor, along with the Senator from Delaware, of legislation pending on the floor which would reauthorize the Office of National Drug Control Policy, and maintain its duty to formulate and implement the National Drug Control…

So, if I correctly understand the Senator from New Hampshire, it is not then the Committee's intent to place the Attorney General in charge of formulating the National Drug Control Strategy?

I have been listening to my distinguished colleague from Arkansas and his very literal discussion of the grand jury process. It isn't quite as simple as my colleague is explaining. The reason we have a grand jury process and the reason we…

I would ask to engage the Senator from New Hampshire, Mr. Gregg, and the Senator from Delaware, Mr. Biden, in a brief colloquy regarding a portion of the report which accompanies the bill, directing the Attorney General to develop a 5-year…

the bottom line of this letter was to urge the Chairman and members of the Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee to increase funding for the cosmetics program to $6 million. I am pleased that the Report accompanying the Senate bill…

I rise today to voice my great concern about FDA's recent announced cutbacks in its cosmetic regulatory program. I wanted to bring to your attention a matter concerning the funding of the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) regulatory…
