The Public Record
Orrin Hatch was a prominent American attorney and politician who served as a United States Senator from Utah from 1977 to 2019. A member of the Republican Party, Hatch was known for his extensive work on a variety of issues, including healthcare, tax reform, and intellectual property rights. Throughout his tenure, he played a significant role in shaping legislation and was involved in numerous bipartisan efforts.
this morning, my friend Senator Glenn, criticized S. 343 for not containing an explicit and separate provision exempting regulations dealing with food safety and E. coli bacteria. To be fair, Senator Glenn recognized that S. 343 contains…
may I respond to the distinguished Senator? We have looked at that and we understand there are people on his side that do not like some of those suggestions. There are certainly a lot of people on our side. So what we have been trying to…
I think this is just another illustration of how we have been trying to work together to try to resolve any conflicts on this bill. There have been over a hundred changes in the bill that we have done through our negotiations with…
I am not sure from the discussion of the distinguished Senator from Louisiana that is so, because as I recall the Coverdell amendment just mentioned entities of small businesses. But we will check on it. Be that as it may, the House has…
if I could respond, we are, as far as I am concerned, going to continue ongoing negotiations and keep the door open to do what we can to resolve these problems. On many of the points that were raised, I thought the Senator from Michigan…
This particular bill's threshold is $50 million. And I have to say that all of small business throughout this country is watching this particular vote. It is going to be the vote on small business, as was the Nunn-Coverdell amendment. I…
I thank my colleague, and would like to thank the distinguished ranking member of the Appropriations Committee, Senator Byrd, for his excellent remarks covering the women of the Bible as well as I have heard him cover on the Senate floor…
I strongly support the Abraham-Dole amendment, which would require agencies to include in their schedule to review existing rules, pursuant to section 623 of S. 343, any existing regulation that substantially affects small business as…
I agree 100 percent with the distinguished Senator from Louisiana, who has coauthored the bill along with Senator Dole and others here. Section 625 of this bill, the decisional criteria section, makes clear that the cost-benefit assessment…
I believe this amendment to S. 343 is of paramount importance. S. 343, as written now, will unquestionably benefit small businesses by requiring Federal bureaucrats to only promulgate regulations that are cost-effective and based on good…
In these articles you find that Kresimir Cosic dazzled many with his grace on the basketball court at Brigham Young University and wherever he played or coached. He is also remembered as a devoted patriot who served his country, Croatia …
In this letter, Mr. Macy makes it very clear that he intends to prosecute these terrorists under State law who caused the Oklahoma City bombing. If he does, the Biden amendment will not apply to them. So they can be on death row, even…
I hope everybody on this floor will vote down these amendments that are being brought up here today because I think it is the only way we can make the change and get rid of these frivolous appeals, save taxpayers billions of dollars, and…
I do not want to lecture to my colleagues on the other side. They all are sincere. They all have their own ideas. But I think it is time for them to start supporting their President. They ought to get behind President Clinton on this issue…
along with my colleague, Senator Bennett, I rise today to introduce the Utah Public Lands Management Act of 1995. This bill would designate approximately 1.8 million acres of land managed by the Bureau of Land Management [BLM] in Utah as…
I think the real thing the Senator has been worried about is whether if pro-choice and right-to-life people are picketing and exercising their rights of free speech, and some incidental damage occurs--just to choose two organizations in…
initially I opposed the President's version of this amendment. It is a fundamental tenet that the right of the people to be secure in their persons, house, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures limit the…
I would like to resolve one of the issues that I think is resolvable, on the Smith amendment. What the Senator is concerned about is he wanted a floor on the amount of damage, so that incidental damage by citizens who are engaged in…
My partner in the Judiciary Committee. We do not even know what some of the other amendments are because nobody has given us any language. But I think there might be a way of resolving this if we got rid of the gun fight and reserve that…
It is an amendment that really would allow wiretaps following the criminal. In other words, instead of having to follow the phone they follow the criminal who might use multiple phones. I personally have no objection to that and think it…
I understand. When we appeared down at the Cabinet room we promised the President, on our side, at least, we would not make this-- we would try to get it passed. I made it very clear at that time that habeas corpus reform would be in the…
The Democrats have 20 amendments. Before Monday we had language on only seven of those amendments. We certainly do not know what the John Kerry amendment is.
I think the problem is we have a lot of nongermane amendments that do not belong in this bill, and there are people on this side who do not want them. Frankly, we have a cloture vote tomorrow morning, and nobody will filibuster it on this…
Senator Biden and I have been through this before. We might feel differently about things. We want to pass a bill. We know how important it is. But some on the other side desperately want to make this a gun fight and frankly we have done…
we brought this bill to the floor, and it has taken a large effort to get it here. We have worked very hard with the administration. We have worked with Senator Biden and the Justice Department, and the vast majority of this bill is agreed…
