Daniel K. Inouye
Mr. President, I would like to thank the House and Senate conferees for accommodating the request I submitted to the Labor, HHS, Education appropriations bill, H.R. 4606. I am especially appreciative of the additional $3 million that was appropriated to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting [CPB] for fiscal year 1997. In looking at the language accompanying the conference report, I noted that there was a reference in title IV to the CPB, regarding the compensation of a certain public television personality. I believe the information contained in the report language has been taken out of context and is misleading. I would like to clarify this issue for the Record.

First, the report specifically states that "the conferees have learned that a single individual is paid $438,000 annually for his once a week 30 minute appearance." It also says that "these costs are paid directly by taxpayers and contributors to local stations." I would like to note that the individual referred to in the report is not an employee of public broadcasting. The individual is a television personality who is compensated for his expertise and performance on a popular television program.

Second, CPB's share of the compensation paid to this individual is approximately $14,000. In other words, the vast majority of the compensation level mentioned in the report is not made up of taxpayer funds; only $14,000 of this amount can be traced to Federal taxpayer funds.

Let me tell you how this difference originates. The total yearly cost of the television program in question is approximately $2.3 million. The Public Broadcasting Service [PBS] invests approximately $400,000 for a year's schedule of the program. This is about 17 percent of the program's yearly cost.

Thus, the total PBS contribution to the $438,000 compensation level would be 17 percent, or $75,000. But this $75,000 PBS contribution is not composed totally of Federal funds. PBS is not a direct recipient of Federal funds, but it does receive funding from the private, nonprofit. Government-funded Corporation for Public Broadcasting. PBS receives approximately 19 percent of its yearly budget from the taxpayer- supported CPB to acquire and distribute national programming. Therefore, 19 percent of the $75,000 contribution of PBS money could be said to originate with Federal funds. This amount is $14,000. In other words, approximately $14,000 of the compensation paid to the television personality can be traced to Federal funds.

Mr. President, this modest contribution produces a 600 percent return on its investment because the program as a whole brings in almost $1.5 million from corporations, another $1.22 million from local businesses, and $288,417 in station pledges. Due to this increasing private support, the PBS investment in this program has been declining over the past 4 years.

Mr. President, we are all concerned about rising costs and inflated salaries. However, to imply that taxpayers are footing the entire bill for the compensation level of this on-air talent is misleading. Opinions will differ with regard to the talent or likability of on-air personalities. I believe that decisions about compensation for on-air talent are best left to program producers.

Finally, I would like to remind my colleagues that the Federal Government is just one source of funding for public broadcasting. CPB appropriations account for approximately 14 percent of the public broadcasting industry's income -- including public television and public radio. The largest source of funding comes from the more than 5 million individuals and families who contribute each year. In addition, Federal support for public television costs each taxpayer approximately $1 each year. I believe this is a small price to pay for the number of high quality programs and services we receive each year.

The $7 million rescission in the conference agreement resulted from severe financial constraints imposed by the discretionary budget caps. Unfortunately, our budget problems were compounded by the fact that the House refused to agree to appropriating an additional $61 million out of the Department of Defense budget for impact aid, thereby reducing funding for impact aid in H.R. 4606 by that amount.

A CPB rescission in the fiscal year 1995 bill, while not based on any effort to influence public broadcasting programming decisions, could open the floodgates for such action. It is not my intention that the fiscal year 1995 rescission for CPB serve as a precedent for future appropriations.

Mr. President, Senator Stevens, Senator Cochran, and I regretfully agreed to rescind fiscal year 1995 appropriations funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting [CPB]. This rescission is a serious threat to the editorial integrity and financial stability of the public broadcasting system. It jeopardizes the continuity and stability that is essential to the continued development of high quality public radio and television programming for our country. More importantly, the rescission threatens the concept of advance funding.

We have grave concerns about the potential precedent that the rescission may have on the future of public broadcasting. When Congress created the CPB in 1967, it took great pains to ensure that CPB would act as a heatshield from political pressures. Its structure and statutorily restricted activities were designed to ensure that producers and stations would not be subject to political interference.

Placing public broadcasting funding on a regular appropriations schedule provides the opportunity for Congress to immediately influence programming decisions by delaying or reducing funding until concessions were made. The principle of advance funding was established in 1975 to address this very issue. Advance funding was a carefully considered approach to providing much needed Federal support for the CPB while ensuring insulation from political interference and outside pressures.

Mr. President, this rescission must not be repeated. We will not support future rescissions of CPB appropriations. Senators Inouye and Stevebs of the Communications Subcommittee and Senator Cochran are committed to providing multiple year authorizations and advance funding, both of which are vital to ensuring a healthy public broadcasting system in this country. The Communications Subcommittee, which is in the process of reauthorizing the CPB, will take steps to ensure that the principle of advance funding is emphasized as a critical component of Federal support for public broadcasting.

We must not turn our backs on the commitment we made to the public broadcasting system nearly 20 years ago. It is imperative that we continue to provide the financial stability and means needed for the CPB to realize its full potential.

Mr. President, the Senate Budget Committee has examined the conference report on H.R. 4606, the fiscal year 1995 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and related agencies appropriations bill, and has found that the conference report is below its 602(b) general purpose allocation by $124,000 in budget authority and by $169,000 in outlays. This conference report exactly meets its 602(b) crime allocation in budget authority and is below by $1,288,000 in outlays.

There are several items for which the Senator from New Mexico would like to express appreciation. One item is $12 million for Hispanic serving institutions. This will be the first time funding will be provided to institutions of higher education attempting to meet the needs of Hispanic students. Thirteen universities, serving over 20,000 students in New Mexico, are designated as HSI's.

I would like to thank the chairman and ranking member of the subcommittee for supporting funds for the newly authorized character education grants. The bill provides $750,000 to assist local partnerships working to develop character-counts education programs in their communities. This is the first installment of a $6 million grant program that is authorized in the pending elementary and secondary education reauthorization bill.

I continue to be concerned about the practice of providing a $600 million contingency fund for LIHEAP that must be designated as emergency spending to be released. These expenses, in most cases, can be anticipated and should be addressed through the regular appropriations process.

Mr. President, I vote against this conference report for a very specific reason: the appropriations conferees apparently in deference to the for-profit trade school sector, have tied the hands of the Secretary of Education, prohibiting him from implementing a key provision of the Higher Education Act for 1 year. A "yes" vote for this conference report undermines attempts to bring integrity and accountability to the Federal student financial aid programs.

At issue is a new requirement which for-profit trade schools would have to comply with: a requirement that in order to participate in Federal student aid programs, at least 15 percent of a school's revenue come from somewhere other than the Federal Pell grant or guaranteed student loan programs. This requirement, commonly referred to as the "85-15 rule," was contained in the 1992 amendments to the Higher Education Act, and was to be implemented by the Department of Education on September 30, 1994. However, the conference report, in deference to objections raised by the trade school industry, prohibits the Secretary of Education from implementing this requirement. In doing so, I believe Congress is sending the wrong signal to the trade school sector and may also be costing the taxpayers millions of dollars for substandard job training.

Mr. President, the integrity of the Federal student aid programs is at stake. These programs have been, and are being, wracked by blatant fraud and abuse. Investigations by Congress, the General Accounting Office, the media, the FBI, and the inspector general at the Department of Education have, time and time again, determined that much of the fraud and abuse -- amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars per year -- was perpetrated by owners of for-profit trade schools. A good portion of Congress' investigative work was done by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations which, under my chairmanship, conducted an in-depth examination of waste, fraud, and abuse in title IV programs in 1990, and again in 1993.

Every school which the subcommittee investigated for fraud and abuse had, it turned out, relied very heavily on Federal student aid programs as the main source of revenue. In fact, were it not for student aid programs, the schools we investigated would probably not have existed. Our investigation confirmed that some for-profit trade schools establish their tuition charges based not on what the cost of education is, but rather on the amount of student aid available to the students. When the Pell grant and loan limits were raised, we found that many of these schools raised their tuition.

Clearly, not every trade school is a scam. If I believed that, I would be working to remove that sector from participation in all Federal aid programs entirely. I am not doing that. But I am deeply disappointed that the conferees have bowed to the interests of the trade school sector to delay the implementation of a new eligibility requirement that these schools would have had to comply with. I ask those Members who have opposed the 85-15 rule for fear that some trade schools would close: Do you know the default rate of those schools? Do you know about their teachers and curriculum? Do you know what percentage of the people who enroll in those schools graduate? How many of them get jobs as a result of the training? If you cannot answer these questions, I suggest you should not be asking the Federal taxpayer to be the sole supporter of those schools.

This 85-125 rule is not that tough. Prior to its enactment, we allowed these for-profit businesses to reap profits -- big profits -- without one dime of funding other than Federal student loans and grants. That is preposterous. Again, every trade school which the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations has investigated for abusing the Federal loan and Pell grant programs relied almost exclusively on Federal student aid as their revenue source. One school in Florida took in $153 million in Federal loans in just 3 years, and the two schoolowners took out $7.8 million in salary in the same timeframe. That would not have happened if this provision would have been in place. We need to make sure that some other entity, whether it be private companies who hire graduates, the students themeselves, or some other financial aid program is willing to provide at least 15 percent of that corporation's tuition revenues. It is hoped that by doing so, some additional measure of quality would be assured. Why should the Federal taxpayer be paying for schools that, on the basis of merit, cannot attract any other form of financial support.

When we allow for-profit schools to rely exclusively on Federal funds, we eliminate competition and a free market. We have created hundreds, if not thousands, of Government-sponsored enterprises which are operated for the benefit of private individuals and to the detriment of the students we aim to assist. We need to constantly remind ourselves that these are student aid programs, not school aid programs.

I am disappointed because, after working diligently to expose the fraud and abuse in these programs, and after working with the Labor and Human Resources Committee to get strong integrity provisions included in the 1992 reauthorization of the Higher Education Act, this appropriations bill protects this industry from what I believe to be a very sound provision of law. Every Member of Congress receives the semiannual reports from the inspector general. Every report I've seen since the late 1980's spell out in graphic detail the extent of the fraud and abuse being perpetrated against us, yet the conferees want us to delay this provision for another year.

Mr. President, I believe this delay is a big mistake. The taxpayers have demanded that defaults be reduced and fraud eliminated. The Congress has directed the Secretary of Education to better manage these programs. If Senators believe that there are truly good for-profit trade schools which will be adversely impacted by this requirement, then perhaps we should give the Secretary of Education specific and limited waiver authority, but we should not delay this provision entirely for another year, while the trade school lobby works to kill this provision altogether.

Mr. President, I would like to bring the attention of the Senate to an important aspect of this bill. It is my understanding that we are providing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention with a $17 million, or nearly 15 percent, increase over the fiscal year 1994 level for its activities in the chronic and environmental disease prevention area, including birth defects prevention.

That is correct. The conference agreement significantly expands funding for the CDC's chronic and environmental disease prevention activities and the Senate report specifically urges CDC to provide expanded funds for State birth defects surveillance programs. I share the Senator's concern for the prevention and treatment of birth defects which are a leading cause of childhood disability and infant mortality in this country.

As the chairman well knows, through his good work for children with disabilities, 150,000 babies are born each year with defects and many more have birth defects which are not identified until later in their childhood. Yet we have no system to track these births as we do for low birthweight or even for cancer through national cancer registries. With these expanded birth defects surveillance funds it is my hope that data can be collected to identify environmental factors associated with birth defects and to apply this knowledge to guide public health interventions. I would like to clarify that the committee has prioritized the birth defects surveillance program at CDC for a portion of the increased funds.

Yes, it is our intention that a portion of the increase provided to the CDC for fiscal year 1995 be used specifically to expand assistance to States for birth defects monitoring systems.

I thank the chairman. I know of no greater advocate for children with birth defects than the chairman of this subcommittee, and know he looks forward to the day, as I do, that we have in place a national system for the prevention of birth defects.

Mr. President, I note that the conference report on this bill includes language that places a cap on the amount that agencies may spend on cash performance awards, known as bonuses. Under this provision, the amount spent by an agency on employee bonuses may not exceed 1 percent of the amount budgeted for the agency's personnel compensation and benefits.

Mr. President, because of increasing budget constraints and efforts to downsize and streamline the Federal Government, agency personnel are being asked to assume more and more responsibilities, with fewer resources and rewards. Unfortunately, it is often the lower grade workers that tend to suffer the most from this trend. I want to make it clear for the record that it is not the intent of the Congress to in any way discourage agencies from appropriately rewarding lower level employees who perform their work in an exemplary fashion.

Ted Kennedy
Mr. President, the conferees have agreed to an appropriation of $7 million for salaries and activities by the Office of the American Workplace. It is my understanding that while the conferees did not provide the specific increase in funding for the Workers Technology Skills Development Act that the Senate had sought, it would be consistent with the appropriation bill that we are passing today to fund this program. As you know, the purpose of that act, which we expect to enact shortly as part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, is to increase worker involvement in the introduction and deployment of technology in the workplace and promote the use of advanced workplace practices to improve workers' wages, skills, and participation in the changing workplace.

Tom Harkin
Yes. I am a cosponsor of that legislation. I think it would be appropriate and meritorious for the Department of Labor to fund projects under that program. As you know, we had specifically indicated in our Senate report that we intended the $500,000 we had provided to fund pilot programs to be used to fund projects pursuant to that act. The Department of Labor has the ability under our Appropriations Act to fund such programs and to the extent that the Department is able to use appropriated moneys in the coming fiscal year to fund pilot programs, we intend that such funds be used to fund projects under the Workers Technology Skills Development Act.

Harris Wofford
Mr. President, as secretary of labor and industry, I saw first hand what worked for workers in Pennsylvania. I have been very pleased that working with both my colleagues, over a relatively short period of time, the Congress has been able to address the need, even in a modest manner, for ensuring full worker involvement in any efforts to modernize the workplace and make it more competitive. I am pleased that the Department of Labor will be able to fund such programs in the upcoming fiscal year.

William Cohen
Madam President, it became clear yesterday, with Senator Mitchell announcing that there will be no further consideration of health care reform this year, that we are missing an opportunity to do a number of things. Senator Specter, Senator Chafee, myself, and a delegation of Senators from both the Democratic and Republican side, have been working for some time in trying to come up with a bipartisan mainstream coalition bill. We felt we were on the edge of producing such a proposal that we believe would have provided a very sound basis for health care reform for certainly this year and well into the future.

But that is no longer a reality. In addition to not addressing health care reform, there is another opportunity that we are losing due to our failure to consider health care reform measures, and that is the opportunity to crack down on health care fraud. There is strong agreement between Republicans and Democrats that we need to rid our health care system of fraud and abuse that is costing taxpayers, patients, and families dearly and driving up the cost of the entire health care system for all Americans.

Earlier this year, I released the results of a year-long investigation into health care fraud and abuse conducted by my staff on the Senate Special Committee on Aging. We found that health care fraud and abuse is rampant throughout Federal, State, and private health care programs, and that losses to health care fraud and abuse over the last 5 years are almost four times the total costs to date of the entire savings and loan crisis.

Defrauding the Federal and private health care programs, Mr. President, is shockingly simple, and Medicare and Medicaid and private insurers are leaving their doors wide open to fraud, inviting scam artists to rip off the system. According to the GAO, as much as 10 percent of the entire health care budget is lost to fraud and abuse each year. That amounts to up to $100 billion a year -- as much as $275 million every single day -- and more than $11.5 million every hour -- in health care dollars lost to health care fraud and abuse.

Mr. President, that is a staggering sum of money that we are losing every single day and every single hour. One of my great regrets about not taking up health care legislation this year is that we are going to be back here next year in the same position, but having lost $100 billion more by failing to toughen our defenses against health care fraud. I first introduced this legislation last year. Despite strong agreement on the need to combat health care fraud, no action was taken. Then last year I introduced parts of this legislation as an amendment to the crime bill. It was accepted by a unanimous vote, only to be rejected by the House of Representatives. The House stripped it out of the crime bill in order to attach it to the health care reform bill. And now we have no health care reform, but we still have health care fraud. That, Mr. President, should not be tolerated a single day longer. That is the reason why I am standing here today to offer this legislation on this pending bill.

Major patterns of abuse that plague the system are overbilling, billing for services not rendered, unbundling, whereby one item -- for example, a wheelchair -- is billed as many separate component parts, upcoding services to receive higher reimbursements, or providing inferior products to patients. Some of the other widespread scams are paying kickbacks and inducements for referrals of patients, falsifying claims and medical records to fraudulently certify an individual for Government benefits, billing for so-called ghost patients, and even paying drug addicts or other patients to have their blood drawn or have unnecessary medical tests performed so the fraudulent doctor or clinic can be reimbursed by Medicare or private insurance.

A home health care company stole more than $4.6 million from Medicaid by billing for home care provided by unqualified home care aides. In addition to cheating Medicaid, this company placed elderly and disabled individuals at risk from untrained and unsupervised aides. Nursing home operators charged personal items such as swimming pools, jewelry, and even the family nanny, to Medicaid cost reports.

Large quantities of sample and expired drugs were dispensed to nursing home patients and pharmacy customers without their knowledge. When complaints were received from the nursing home staff and patient relatives regarding the ineffectiveness of the medications, one of the scam artists stated "those people are old, they will never know the difference, and they will be dead soon anyway." One scheme involved the distribution of $6 million worth of reused pacemakers and mislabeled pacemakers intended for animal use only. Think about that. We have people out there using pacemakers whose batteries have gone dead, that are totally useless. Some are intended for animals only and are being implanted in human bodies. The scheme involved kickbacks to cardiologists and surgeons to induce them to use pacemakers that already expired.

Then we have a clinical psychologist who was indicted for having sexual intercourse with some of his patients and then seeking reimbursement from a Federal health plan for these encounters as so- called therapy sessions.

These cases are just the tip of an enormous iceberg of fraud and abuse that is costing taxpayers and patients dearly, and freezing out millions of Americans from affordable health care coverage.

To give you an illustration as to how health care fraud can strike very close to home, I will offer another example of a Medicare beneficiary living in a boarding home in Saco, ME. She fell and sustained a very small cut on her forearm. It was less than an inch long. It required no medical treatment by a physician. The cut healed within 2 weeks, without requiring any doctor's services. At most, she used 14 of the so-called waterproof, 6- by 8-inch dressings, at a total cost, actually, of less than $40. An unscrupulous medical supplier, however, billed Medicare $850 for 50 of these dressings, which were never medically necessary. In addition, that same supply company billed Medicare $2,660 more for these dressings, plus gels, which were never needed by the patient. So, in essence, you and me and everybody here in this country ended up paying almost $3,800 for the treatment of a cut of less than one-inch long that never required a doctor's attention or services.

The amendment I am offering today, Mr. President, will toughen our defenses against such health care fraud and abuse. There is broad agreement on both sides of the aisle on the changes proposed by this amendment in order to stop the fraudulent providers from bleeding billions of dollars from our health care system.

The provisions of this amendment, to give an example, were included in the legislation I first introduced last year, and they are included in the so-called mainstream coalition health care reform bill. They are also included in Senator Dole's health care reform bill, Senator Mitchell's reform plan, and, indeed, even the Clinton administration's health care reform package.

Ridding the health care system of this kind of fraud and abuse, as I pointed out, is not a partisan issue. Rather, the proposals I am offering in this amendment today are based on recommendations of a Health Care Fraud Task Force convened by the Bush administration. They have been endorsed by the current administration, numerous law enforcement agencies, and many health care provider groups.

Unfortunately, however, health care fraud has become a very lucrative business and some dishonest providers will do all they can to manipulate the system. Just as Willie Sutton said he robbed banks because "that's where the money is," many scam artists seek out health care fraud because they know that the health care budget provides one of the biggest pots of money available for the taking -- and one that has very little chance of them being caught.

While the Federal and State law enforcement officials are making some progress cracking down on health care fraud, the current enforcement scheme has resulted in a system whereby the mouse has outsmarted the mousetrap. Those defrauding the system are ingenious and motivated, while the Government and private sector responses cannot hope to keep pace with the sophistication and cunning of those individuals they pursue. We must take steps to stop this abuse now.

Our current system of fighting health care fraud is like trying to put out a forest fire with a garden hose. By providing tougher tools, better coordination, and more resources, this amendment will help equip the law enforcement and health care officials to fight fraud and abuse effectively.

I fully expect that this amendment will be opposed by those who argue that we should wait another year, wait until next year, to come back and start the debate all over again on health care reform. That means maybe sometime in March the debate will begin, maybe sometime next August or September we will conclude that debate and maybe, finally, we will have some kind of health care fraud legislation.

As I indicated before, Mr. President, that means we are out another $100 billion. That means we are out another $275 million a day. That means we are out another $11.5 million an hour. We sit here and say, well, wait until next year.

Mr. President, I do not think we can afford to wait until next year. Over 300 days have elapsed since the Senate passed its crime bill containing some of these health care fraud provisions, and with the estimates that I have just reeled off, that we are losing these $275 million every day, these 300 days could represent over $85 billion lost to health care fraud and abuse just since the Senate passed its crime bill last year.

So here we are, Mr. President, just days before we are due to adjourn and there is no health care reform bill in sight. While it was my hope we could have passed a health care reform bill this year, that is not going to be the case.

The only ones who are benefiting from this delay on this important issue are the ones who are bilking billions from our system. The very big losers are going to be the American people, taxpayers, patients, and families who cannot afford health care coverage now because the premiums and the health care costs are padded to cover these exorbitant costs that are being lost to the scam artists.

First, I compliment the Senator from Maine. He has worked long and hard on dealing with what is a multibillion-dollar problem. A report which my committee issued several years ago established that there were a minimum of $70 billion in health care fraud per year. That estimate is probably a little low.

The second reason is that a number of my colleagues have said, "Joe, why was this dropped from the crime bill?" The truth of the matter is -- and the Senator from Maine did not suggest anything other than this -- that the vast bulk of what the Senator has introduced was not in the crime bill. It was not a part of the crime bill, and it was not dropped from the crime bill.

Joe Biden
There were several very important amendments, which I supported, cosponsored, if I am not mistaken, with the Senator from Maine, and fought to keep in the crime bill. One was a new health care fraud offense, that is in title 18, Criminal Code of the United States, to set up a new offense called health care fraud. Second, we had in the crime bill a forfeiture provision for health care fraud cases. That is where the Government recovered against a defendant where they found a defendant guilty of being engaged in health care fraud, they could go out like they can in drug cases and through the forfeiture process acquire the fruits of that fraud.

But this amendment -- I am not commenting on the merits of the amendment -- goes well beyond what was in the crime bill. Many of the items are things that I personally support and I think we could probably, the bulk of us, reach agreement on. But these provisions I think have to be considered in the context where everybody interested can be involved.

Joe Biden
This amendment, for example, includes a provision which creates a special fund for the proceeds of health care fraud to be used by other agencies without further appropriations. I am not sure that is a bad idea. I think that is probably a pretty good idea. In my experience that usually causes apoplexy around here when we set up separate funds which bypass appropriators. It creates a new interagency enforcement structure.

Conceptually I think that is a good idea because we have so much overlapping that goes on. Quite frankly the Justice Department does not know nearly enough about this area, whereas HHS and the others do know a great deal, and to call on the multiple talents of the interagency structure I think would make sense.

Again, the second purpose of my rising today is to suggest that, to answer the question at least half a dozen of my colleagues have asked me on both sides of the aisle: "Hey, Joe, why did you drop this in the crime bill?"

MR. COHEN. That is true. But those provisions were dropped in conference because I understand the House objected. They wanted to wait to consider the provisions as part of health care reform.

That is correct. Both the Republicans and the Democrats in the House side wanted it dropped. And, quite frankly, a number of people on this side, and leadership on both sides, wanted it dropped because at the time they all wanted it included in a large health care bill.

As the Senator from Maine knows, I share his view. I was, skeptical that would occur and, thought we should not waste any time anyway whether or not they would be included later.

The only point I wish to make is, it is not a criticism but an explanation, I hope a clarification. What the Senator is offering goes well beyond the title 18 provisions which were dropped.

Joe Biden
The third point I wish to make is, regardless of what the outcome of this vote will be -- and if the Senator is going to keep it on this bill and vote on it or another bill, I do not know what his preference is -- but regardless of what happens, if it fails or succeeds, I can assure him that it is my intention -- and this is not in any way to dissuade people from supporting the Senator but to make the point that I think that we must, and the Senator from Maine has introduced a bill as well as I have in the Judiciary Committee -- if this does not move forward we must create enough of an awareness and a consensus on acting on dealing with health care fraud in the beginning of the next term. So it is my intention to hold hearings in the Judiciary Committee. Again I do not say this as a way to delay action to tell the Senator I am going to do this anyway. I would only do it with his help, input, and cooperation as a member of the Judiciary Committee.

So I just want to make the three points. One, I compliment him for being so vigilant and persistent on this multibillion-dollar issue; second, much of what the Senator suggests in his amendment is noteworthy but was not of part of the crime bill; third, regardless of the outcome of this vote whenever it takes place on this amendment, I, as Chair, assuming that will be the case next year, will continue to pursue this with him.

Mr. President, to make it very clear, this legislation that I am proposing basically is endorsed by everyone. President Clinton has the same provisions in his legislation with health care reform. Senator Mitchell has the same provisions. Senator Dole has the same provisions. The mainstream coalition has the same provisions. There is no disagreement in terms of the necessity of this legislation.

But even this large amendment is supported by virtually everyone. I know of no dissent. I am simply suggesting time is running out. We lost $100 billion this year to health care fraud and we cannot afford to delay further..

What I am saying is we do not have a health care bill. We are still losing money, $11.5 million an hour every day. We have an opportunity to correct that with no dissension that I am aware of in this body.

Mr. President, if I might, I have tried to listen to the explanation of the Senator from Maine of his amendment. Evidently, it has to do with waste, fraud, and abuse. I will take the time momentarily to go through the provisions in our bill that we have already done on waste, fraud, and abuse.

I would say to the Senator from Maine that this amendment, as I understand it, is 58 pages long. It is a major piece of legislation. I say to the Senator from Maine that this is part of health care reform. I hope the Senator will not want to open that can of worms. I thought we had all kinds of admonitions from the Republican side and the Republican leader that we should not bring up health care reform, that other things may happen. If this happens here, I can tell you there are a bunch of health care reform amendments on this side. If the Senator wants to, we will start the health care reform debate and we will be here for the next week and a half on it.

That is fine with me. I am trying to get a forum where we get this legislation passed. We have delayed year after year. Nothing has been done with this issue in a substantive fashion. There is no disagreement. If you want to take the time to go through the 58 pages, that is fine with me. This proposal is contained in President Clinton's proposal and in Senator Dole's proposal. There is no disagreement on this. Yet, it is not simply a health care reform proposal, it is anticrime as well. This is criminal activity that is taking place on an hourly basis and we are being robbed; being robbed blind. We simply say, "Well, we will get to it sometime next year, maybe."

I will simply respond that we have addressed a lot of these issues in our bill. As I said, this is a major piece of legislation that should not find its way on an appropriations bill.

I understand the Senator's frustration. I happen to be frustrated too. We have been debating health care reform for years around here. We are spending $1 trillion a year. What the Senator is talking about is peanuts compared to what he says about being robbed from the public out there day after day with all kinds of fraud, all kinds of prices with all kinds of discrimination, preexisting condition clauses, lack of portability. All of those things are happening out there day after day. We are not addressing those.

Again, we have been through that debate before. I had my say on that yesterday. I do not mean to say it again. This is the appropriations bill to fund the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Labor; the National Institutes of Health, biomedical research.

There are some things we can do on waste, fraud, and abuse. We have done it every year. Senator Specter and I every year have had hearings on this. We figured out what we could do within the confines of the appropriations process to go after waste, fraud, and abuse. We have done a lot in the last 3 or 4 years that we have worked together on it.

For example, the administration proposed some cuts in the Medicare payments safeguard activities. We held hearings that showed that for every $1 we spent on payment safeguards, we saved $14 in catching the very waste, fraud, and abuse items that the Senator from Maine is talking about. So we put money back in there for that. We also added $3 million for Medicaid fraud demonstration projects. This bill also suspends workers compensation benefits to individuals who have been in prison for a felony offense. We hear a lot of talk about that. We took care of it in here. This bill provides for increased monitoring of SSI beneficiaries disabled by drug addiction and alcoholism, to prevent fraud and abuse. We heard a lot of stories about that where people were supposed to go to alcoholism programs and drug treatment programs. They did not do it, and in some cases used Federal funds to support substance abuse. So we tightened down on it in this bill.

So I think Senator Specter and I and the members of this subcommittee have worked very hard and very diligently to go after waste, fraud, and abuse and save the taxpayers tens of millions of dollars in each of the last several years.

That is not in the purview of this appropriations committee, not at all. It would be an apt subject for a health reform bill. I daresay in the last couple of weeks I proposed a piece of legislation on health care reform and it had these provisions in it, too. But this is not the place for it.

Mr. President, at the outset I compliment my distinguished colleague from Maine for the work which he has done culminating in the legislation which he is proposing here today. He has argued the need for all of these items, and I agree with him totally. I serve with him on the Aging Committee where he has held these hearings which have produced this evidence leading to this legislation. He is the ranking member of that committee and has done extraordinary work there.

This is a very, very important piece of legislation. I have been working with him, along with Senator Chafee and others, on the so- called Chafee task force" which has produced legislation, where these provisions are a part. It is true that he brought several of the provisions them forward on the crime bill, and they were passed successfully. The difficulty which is presented here, on this bill, which I have talked to Senator Cohen about privately, is that it will delay the passage of this appropriations bill on Labor, Health, and Human Services, and Education.

The distinguished Senator from Maine quite accurately says he wants to see this bill passed this year. I agree with him. But I think the reality is it will not be passed this year because it will go back to the House and the House will object to it as the House did when these provisions were on the crime bill.

And the reason they will object is that it is within the jurisdiction of the Ways and Means Committee and it is legislation on an appropriations bill, although in a broad sense it is certainly relevant or germane or within the context of this general category of legislation.

What happens, as those of us who are working on the floor today know, is that we are in the very last few days of this session and there are a number of amendments which a number of other Senators wanted to offer which did not relate to health care, as do the provisions of Senator Cohen's amendment. So to that extent, it is a more logical spot here than on some of the other amendments to which other Senators want to add.

Those other Senators have been persuaded not to bring their amendments to this bill, but instead there will be a vehicle which the majority leader has set aside, the appropriations bill for the District of Columbia, where there is already an amendment pending to an amendment in disagreement which may have to go back to the House of Representatives. And it is the thought of the ranking Republican on the full committee, Senator Hatfield, who has discussed this matter also with Senator Cohen, that Senator Cohen's amendment be offered to an amendment in disagreement on the District of Columbia appropriations bill.

The concern that I had and have just expressed to the Senator from Maine is there are other Senators who want to add health care amendments to this pending bill. Frankly, I would like to add Senate bill 18, my health care reform bill, because I certainly am not happy to see the session end without reform legislation. But I think it is plain that at this stage, we are not going to be able to deal with health care generally.

So that is where we are. If the distinguished Senator from Maine presses the issue, I think he will succeed; I think he will succeed. The HUD appropriations bill had, I think 43 votes in support of amendments which were not nearly as attractive as what the distinguished Senator from Maine is offering. He has offered it before, and I have supported it, and it is a very difficult amendment to disagree with on the substance and on the merits.

But the consequence will be, I think, that we will have a continuing resolution on Labor, Health, and Human Services, and Education, and the consequence of that is that there may be less appropriated for those important items because a continuing resolution often takes the lesser of the 1994 bill, which is in existence now and the conference report, correct? We always turn to learned staff to be absolutely sure on these technical matters. That is what likely will happen, and that will result in the reduction of appropriations for Health, Education, Human Services, and Labor, which I know the distinguished Senator from Maine would not want to see happen.

So that is the procedural posture we are in. Senator Cohen has every right to proceed with his amendment here. There is no doubt about that. It is a very, very important amendment, and it should have been accepted long ago. And he is right when he talks about $100 billion in waste, fraud, and abuse, and it ought to be enacted. And, as the distinguished Senator from Iowa, Senator Harkin, has pointed out, we have dealt with it within the confines of this appropriations bill to the extent we could. But the fact, too, is that we have not done as much as a new substantive bill on this subject would do.

So it is my hope that the distinguished Senator from Maine will not press the issue. I think if it is pressed, and again I repeat, he has every right to press it, we are going to have Senators coming to the floor with other health care amendments and Senators on other issues, and then the ranking member, Senator Hatfield, is talking about taking the bill down in the hope that these amendments will be offered somewhere else.

If I were allowed by Senate rules to do so, I would hold up a little 6-by-8-inch waterproof dressing to show the American people that this item which is being used to treat a scratch or a cut less than an inch long is costing them $3,800. I would bring over a leg prosthesis that I used during a press conference to try to draw the public's attention to what is taking place. It was remarkable. It was a leg prosthesis, but it looked like it came off a mannequin in Macy's department store window. It was a shell, plastic; it was from the knee down, for someone who has lost the lower part of their leg. What was interesting about this particular device, this prosthesis, I should say, is that it had a right calf and a left foot. Pretty extraordinary for someone who might have to wear that because he or she has lost a leg.

The leg prosthesis was shoddily made and totally useless. But guess what the supplier billed you and me for? Take a wild guess. This thin piece of plastic, this piece of trash, was billed to the Federal Government to the tune of $8,800.

The Health Care Financing Administration approved payment of $1,400. When I held it up and looked at it, I thought it was not worth even 14 cents if it couldn't be used. But we were billed $8,800 and the Federal Government approved $1,400 as a reasonable price for something that was completely worthless.

Then, we have the issue of blood sugar monitoring kits for those who suffer from diabetes. In the Washington Post, there is an ad saying you can buy this at such-and-such store, and with a manufacturer's rebate, you can purchase the kit for roughly $10 to $12.

You know what the suppliers are billing you and me and all the taxpayers in this country? Roughly $250 per kit. And how are they able to do this? They take each item in the kit, the lance and the other items in the kit, and they bill us separately. It is called unbundling. So each item gets billed separately, and the total comes up to roughly $250 for an item that would cost $10 to $12 off the shelf.

There is an explosion of this type of fraud taking place. That is why I felt compelled to offer this amendment. I introduced the bill last year and no action was taken on it. I offered -- and I believe the Senator from Delaware is correct in clarifying this -- I offered the criminal provisions of this amendment to the crime bill, when it was on the Senate floor and accepted unanimously, but then stripped out by the House for the same reasons that Senator Biden expressed. The House Ways and Means Committee said this is a finance matter, a tax matter; it is our jurisdiction. I would like them to explain to the American people why there has been no action taken.

I have been told, well, just wait until the health care bill comes along. We have no health care bill. Now we are told wait until next year. A familiar expression up in New England, when we are still waiting for the Boston Red Sox, to win that pennant again, is: Wait until next year; we will be back next year.

I am not sure how much longer we can afford to wait. I am not sure how much longer the American people are going to tolerate us not taking action. We lost $100 billion last year and the year after, and now we will lose another $100 billion this year. I do not know how long it is going to take to get a health care bill next year. We come back toward the end of January. We go out for the Lincoln Day recess. We are out most of February. We get serious about March or April. And then, the debate starts all over again. We will have either the mainstream coalition proposals as a basis to start off with, or maybe the Dole proposal. Or we will have another, probably, a sequel to Senator Mitchell's proposal, perhaps in another form. And we are off in debating, and all the interest groups start lobbying us. We start taking more and more time to work our way through the complexities of the health care system. In the meantime, I dare say we are probably into late next year, and still no health care bill, no antifraud provisions.

So this is not intended as a major proposal to amend our health care system. What this is designed to do is to give our prosecutors a health care fraud statute. Right now, they have to prosecute these individuals by going through mail fraud and wire fraud. It is very complicated and time consuming. They want a statute they can go right to and say: We are going to prosecute you if you try to defraud the Federal taxpayers and the private health insurance. We are going to prosecute you, and we have the law here to do it.

They do not have that now. We can talk about procedure, or other people having amendments that they can come forward with to offer tonight and kill the bill. But someone is killing our system. And if there is anger out in America today directed toward us, this is another classic example of it. We say, well, our procedure does not allow for it. The House wants it to go through Ways and Means. They have to have hearings. It does not matter that the President wants it, or the majority leader wants or the minority leader wants it. It does not matter. We have to have the jurisdiction all sorted out. That may take some time.

So, Mr. President, I must say that we have waited too long. This is something that I think the American people should be justifiably outraged about, saying: Do something. If we cannot pass a reform bill because of complexity, this is pretty straightforward; this is pretty simple. This gives a tool to the prosecutors of our Federal Government to go after those who would defraud us, day in and day out -- $11.5 million an hour, $275 million a day, $100 billion a year -- and we are sitting around saying, well, this isn't in the committee's jurisdiction; overlap; delay. You have to wait until next year.

I do not think the American people are going to accept that, not on our part. I do not think they should accept it. If we are going to be met with their anger at the polls in November, I think it is justified. They will look at this and see we had an opportunity and we passed up that opportunity with the invocation of: Let us just wait for next year; we will get it a year from now.

First of all, I cannot find anything I disagree with the Senator on. As a matter of fact, we have had hearings on this, almost everything he mentioned, except the prosthesis. For example, we looked excessive payments for such items as blood glucose monitors, bandages, and TENS units. We have all kinds. And every year, we have hearings to expose wasteful spending and how we can combat it.

And so with the mechanisms in our bill, we try to put more emphasis on activities such as the payment safeguards program. This is where Medicare hires investigators, accountants, and auditors to go after fraud, waste, and abuse. They are woefully understaffed. And as I mentioned in my comments, we have proven from GAO and from the inspector generals that for every dollar we put into these activities, we have actually saved, in real, hard cash dollars in that given year, $14 for every dollar we put in. In every administration, this was no different from the one before. Both administrations were asked to put in the payment safeguard program.

We are in the odd position of trying to put money into the program. Talk about spending around here. This is one program we put money into that actually pays the taxpayers back. I assume at some point there, the cost-benefit ratio is not that great. But we have not even approached that yet.

I have not read the Senator's amendment. My staff tells me that much of what is in the Senator's amendment was in amendments offered by myself and others in different, various health reform bills that come through the Labor Committee. Much of this was in the Labor Committee's bill. And some was in the Dole bill. So there is broad general agreement, I think, for what the Senator is trying to do.

But, again, I just have one question. Take the blood glucose monitors. We know what the prices were on that, and they were way out of line. How does the Senator's bill get at that? How would you prevent that from happening? What is the mechanism in your bill that would prevent durable medical equipment, such as blood glucose monitors, or TENS units, from being overpriced in the beginning, in the future?

It does several things. No. 1, it gives the Justice Department a single statute to go to to prosecute those individuals who, in fact, are engaging in fraudulent behavior.

The amendment will also address the problem by getting more people conducting oversight and policing the system. As I understand it, we have a caseload problem in going after those who are fraudulently overbilling our system. In the two major Federal law enforcement agencies, only 450 Federal positions investigate health care fraud. This works out to about one investigator for about 8 million claims. One investigator has to oversee 8 million claims that are coming through the pipeline. With enforcement and oversight capacity as low as this, catching fraud is almost impossible.

We simply do not have enough people. But what we ought to be doing is creating a system sending forth a signal saying, if you engage in fraud, we have a single statute the Justice Department is going to turn to, we are going to penalize you, collect it, and we are also going to expand the oversight ability on the part of the Federal Government.

If the Senator will yield further, I understand. The problem is, as I understand it -- and we looked into this in great detail -- take the blood glucose monitor, for example, which was drastically overpriced. I sent a staff person down to a drug store and bought one for $39. Yet HCFA was allowing payment as high as $500 for one. Just ridiculous. But it turned out that the overpricing was not fraudulent because it is allowed under the fee schedules set up under Medicare.

So I suggest to the Senator, you might want to turn this over to the Justice Department. They go in there and, lo and behold, they find out that is part of the law.

What we have to do is get in there and change the kind of fee schedules that we have in there by which these people cannot overprice us for these things. That is the problem. Once we get our fingers on it, then we can do something about it. But it is those initial overpricings we have a problem getting at.

I suggest to the Senator what we really need in Medicare is to get away from that old fee schedule we used to have and perhaps we ought to have more competitive bidding. I suggest that to the Senator. That might take care of a lot of this.

There is fraud. There are other frauds happening. Fraud is where perhaps a doctor would submit a bill for services that he did not render, or a hospital would submit a bill for items that they never provided. That is fraud. A company that makes a product and says, "Hey, this is worth $500." Well, that is what the fee schedule allows, and so they bid it in. That is why they are not being prosecuted for fraud. We need to change that underlying provision to provide for more competitive bidding.

But some of these other things that he brings up, I think we have to go under the underlying law itself and change the way that Medicare is able to buy these things. I just ask the Senator if he had any further thoughts on that?

This problem is the combination of two parts. It is correct that we pay far too much legally for some items that can be purchased for much less off the shelf, but we also should never tolerate the kind of billing that is taking place now where the supplier unbundles the glucose monitoring kit, thereby increasing the price from $12 to $250, or even $500.

If that is not fraudulent activity, I do not know what is. That is a fraud upon the Government, and they are getting away with it. We do not have enough people: How can one investigator possibly investigate 8 million claims?

I am trying to create a system whereby we fund greater oversight, greater investigative ability on the part of the Federal Government than we are currently doing. There is no doubt in my mind there have to be changes as far as the fee schedule is concerned. But we also have providers who are upcoding. They simply upcode what they are supplying, even though it is a fraudulent upcoding, in order to get a higher price for something they are not furnishing.

So there is a lot to be done. What I am suggesting is we have a statute, very clear, very specific, have civil monetary penalties that act as a deterrent, and an enforcement mechanism by the Justice Department that will try and discourage this. It will not catch everybody, but it will discourage a lot of people from engaging in the kind of conduct they have been engaging.

I hear the health care industry, frankly, does not like this particular provision. They are worried about it. I had to explain to them we are talking about intentional fraudulent behavior, not innocent mistakes. But when a doctor or a hospital unit starts billing for thousands of psychotherapy sessions that never occurred, something is wrong. That is fraud. When you have ghost patients or patients who have died and you are still getting reimbursed for services rendered to them, when you are selling pacemakers that are dead and having them implanted in the human body, there is something wrong with that, or intended for animal use only. That is what we are really trying to get at with this particular statute.

Frankly, again, the Justice Department does not oppose it. They support this. The President supports this. Everybody supports it. But we cannot take any action: It is the end of the session, the House will object, jurisdictional toes will be stepped upon. In the meantime, we are out $100 billion.

Mr. President, I think it is a pretty straightforward amendment. It enjoys broad bipartisan support. I think it is long overdue. It was not right for the crime bill. It was not right for the health care bill, because we do not have one. So we are just told to wait for the pennant until next year.

Mr. President, I have had discussions with my friend, the Senator from Oregon, Senator Hatfield, with Senator Dole, and with other members of the Appropriations Committee. I am persuaded that, No. 1, the amendment, if pressed to a vote, will pass; that, No. 2, we will send this bill back to conference where it will be dropped because of objections from the House, and we will then have the entire conference report brought back with a day or two of delay. As I indicated before, that is not my intent.

My intent is not to obstruct or to delay but to try and pass legislation that everybody seems to be in favor of. As a matter of fact, just this afternoon I spoke with Director Freeh of the FBI, and he also assured me he would work diligently as possible to get this legislation passed because it is in the interest of our justice system to curb the fraud and waste and abuse taking place right now.

One of the suggestions made is that, well, we still have the D.C. appropriations coming up. Frankly, I do not think, from my perspective, that that is the appropriate vehicle to start debating health care fraud, on the D.C. appropriations. But it appears that may be the only option available to me.

I do that in the interest of accommodating not only him, since I have the highest respect for the Senator from Oregon, and I know of his interest in seeing to it that as many, if not all, of the appropriations bills are passed and that we not be required to go to a continuing resolution if at all possible.

So I do not intend to press this to a vote this evening and I will, in a moment, withdraw the amendment. But I must say I want to address this to my colleagues. We keep talking about the anger that is out in the countryside. We keep looking at the poll numbers of how low we are in the public's opinion. We look with astonishment at some of the Members who have very richly deserved reputations in this Chamber and elsewhere but are being defeated. We ask the question why? I think this is an example of why, because we have something that virtually everyone agrees upon and yet it cannot be passed.

So the taxpayer looks at the accumulation of the national debt and it is now some $4 trillion, and climbing. Annual deficits of $200 billion, tax increases going up. They see their tax dollars being wasted day after day after day and they watch us on C-SPAN or elsewhere and say "What are they doing? Why is somebody not trying to put a finger in the dike?" This may not be a panacea but it is virtually something everybody wants -- from the White House, to the House, to the Senate. Yet, because of procedural reasons or because time is running out and we are at the end of the session, 1 week to go, we cannot pass something as straightforward as a bill designed to combat fraud.

So I will, for the moment, withdraw the amendment, Mr. President, and indicate to my colleagues that as soon as the D.C. appropriations bill is brought to the floor, at an appropriate time, I will, once again, seek recognition to introduce this amendment and hope that it enjoys the bipartisan support of my colleagues who have indicated that they cannot find anything to disagree with about the amendment except it does not belong on this bill. It does not belong on the crime bill and we have no health care bill to put it on. It does not belong on health and human services appropriations. "Try D.C. appropriations, or try whatever else is left." So they say try again next year, which in all probability is going to be the case.

I could not help but think as he described his amendment, which he has so valiantly and eloquently and frequently presented here on the floor, in which the Senate has agreed to in the past, of an experience I had as a younger Member of this body. The senior Senator from Mississippi, John Stennis, was managing a bill and I found myself offering an amendment which he had described as not belonging to that particular bill. I recited, much like the Senator from Maine, that it had been tried on another bill and did not belong there and I felt like it was truly an orphan amendment. He responded and said, well, I will tell you what it is like. It is like a half-drowned rooster running around in a chicken yard looking for shelter. Well, that was typical of Senator Stennis's graphic description of things we get involved with here in parliamentary procedure.

I want to assure the Senator again that even though there could be a question of germaneness raised on the D.C. bill, as against this particular bill, there is still a point of order of legislating on an appropriation bill that coequally would be raised on the D.C. bill as well as this bill. We would like to accommodate the Senator, of course, in any way, not foreclosing his right by withdrawing the amendment here to offer it on another vehicle.

Senator Coats of Indiana, who has what has commonly been referred to as his trash amendment, which he has offered on different vehicles, has also agreed to withhold his amendment. Senator Hank Brown of Colorado has also agreed to withhold his amendment on this bill so that we can finalize action on the bill, knowing that we do have another bill with amendments of disagreement. This will let us concentrate any extraneous amendments on that bill and let us expedite this procedure, because, Mr. President, when it comes Friday night at midnight, I need not remind the Senate that we are facing the deadline of the fiscal year.

I understand from our leadership that in discussion with the Democratic leadership we are not going to be put in the bind of waiting to bring up the D.C. conference report at midnight or quarter to midnight on Friday, but that the D.C. conference report will follow the conference report on agriculture which follows this conference report. So we have four more reports after that.

But, nevertheless, all I am saying is we have another vehicle with amendments in disagreement which will be open to amendments. While I commend Senator Harkin of Iowa and Senator Specter of Pennsylvania for trying to expedite this bill, bear in mind, any amendment on this bill goes back to conference or goes back to the House. This bill includes funding for Low-Income Home Energy Assistance and has some of the most important health and welfare and educational programs. We cannot afford in any way to delay beyond Friday night at midnight.

So I plead with my colleagues on both sides. Since we have demonstrated good faith on this side of the aisle in withholding these amendments at this time on this bill to expedite the Labor-HHS and Education bill, I hope that the leadership can move this bill rapidly and complete it so we can take up the agriculture appropriations conference report and then the D.C. conference report before we take up interior, Treasury, and a number of the other conference reports down the line.

I want to respond about what the Senator said about his experience with Chairman Stennis and being told it is not the appropriate place. I see several of my colleagues here on the floor -- Senator Cochran from Mississippi, who came to the House with me at the same time. I gave my maiden speech in the House of Representatives back in 1973. It was a speech pertaining to an amendment I offered to the energy bill. I offered an amendment to the energy bill to provide tax credits for people who conserve energy. The senior Members of the House of Representatives at that time got up and objected to the amendment saying that it was not germane under the House rules, that on the one hand by providing incentives for people to drill for oil was relevant and germane but providing tax incentives for people to save energy was completely nongermane. It was ruled out of order. It took 4 years before we finally passed that measure to provide tax credits for people to conserve energy. I feel the same sense here. It has been 2 years now, and maybe another year before we finally pass this bill dealing with health care fraud.

So it is a measure of my own frustration. I have been at this nearly 22 years now finding the same kinds of arguments being raised saying, well, wait until the next bill, not germane to this bill, we will get it next year with a little more patience.

Mr. President, I would like to address myself to this question of going forward with amendments on this bill and using some other bill as an appropriate vehicle. The Senator from Ohio has been waiting and has attempted on previous occasions to bring to the floor of the U.S. Senate the bill having to do with baseball and the antitrust exemption that exists with respect to baseball and the fact that if the amendment were to be adopted -- the amendment that has been submitted by myself and Senator Hatch -- I do not know that the baseball season could be completed this year but certainly the players would indicate their being willing to go back to work for spring training.

The argument is made, well, use some other bill as an appropriate vehicle to which you might attach an amendment. It so happens that the amendment that we are talking about offering on this bill in our opinion is germane to an amendment of the House and therefore not subject to a point of order. If we were to attach it to some other bill, it is not at all unlikely that a point of order could and would be raised.

The Senator from Ohio attempted to bring a bill having to do with baseball to the floor a week or 10 days ago and asked unanimous consent to move forward, and an objection was made. It was perfectly appropriate to make the objection. I had no problem with that. But if there is to be a baseball season in 1995, then, as I see it, either the players or the owners are going to have to come to some agreement or we are going to have to pass legislation in the Congress that deals with the fact that there is now an antitrust exemption for the baseball owners.

That exemption, in my opinion, should never be in the law. It is one of only two businesses in this country that are exempt from the law -- the insurance industry being the other one. And we have now drafted this in such a manner that it is not a total repeal of the exemption but rather an effort on our part to just deal with the exemption as it applies to the contract we are talking about and the very limited question of the right of the players to go into court when the owners attempt to impose unilaterally a cap on their salaries or any other kind of imposition of terms of a contract unilaterally.

So the Senator from Ohio is not happy about the fact that there are many who would like to bring this bill to a conclusion. I do not care to be an obstructionist. I do not see that we need to have a lengthy debate on this, although some of my colleagues have indicated that they would like to debate the issue. But I would be willing to agree to some limited time either tonight or tomorrow morning, although I think tonight would be unfair because it would not be giving fair notice to some of those who may have an interest in it. But I would be willing to agree to a 2-hour limit tomorrow morning on the issue. I think we can lay down our amendment tonight. The issue of germaneness can then be raised. I would not want anyone to be taken unaware or not be prepared for it. But I am trying to lay out the picture as I see it.

I do not know of any alternative the Senator from Ohio has in order to bring this matter before the U.S. Senate for a vote. I think the American people want to see baseball played in this country. I believe that if we pass this amendment, the House has already indicated through Chairman Brooks that if the Senate sends something over, he will act immediately to bring it to the floor of the House so that it may become law before we conclude this session.

So I say to my colleagues, I do not have any better friends in this body than the manager of the bill, that I regret the fact that I am not being cooperative, and that I am prepared to offer an amendment on this subject. But I do not know that I have any other alternative. Therefore, I suggest the absence of a quorum.

Mr. President, let me plead with the Senator from Ohio to offer his amendment on another vehicle just so we can get this HHS bill and the Agriculture appropriations bill out. As the Senator from Oregon pointed out, Friday is the deadline. September 30 we have to have all of these appropriations bills finished or have a continuing resolution. The issue is perfectly legitimate. The antitrust provision the baseball owners enjoy is a legitimate issue for debate.

I must say I think the Senator tried to get this out of the committee two or three times without success, and I must also say that in the right atmosphere I would very seriously consider the Senator's amendment. In the atmosphere of this evening when we are trying to pass very important appropriations bills totaling probably in the vicinity -- I cannot speak for the HHS bill. Our bill is about $70 billion. HHS is probably $300 billion. We are trying to get these out so we can keep the Government running and do what we have been sent here to do.

If I had to vote on the Senator's amendment at this point, frankly, during this session of Congress, I would be constrained to vote no because I have not really studied the issue. I have the same, what I shall say, not necessarily revulsion, but aversion to antitrust exemptions. I know the Senator feels the antitrust laws in this country have not been very well enforced in the past.

But I plead with the Senator, No. 1, to postpone the offering of this amendment until the next session of Congress. The only problem with that is the Senator is not going to be here the next session of Congress.

I do not expect him to agree with that request but at least offer it on the D.C. appropriations bill tomorrow. The Senator has suggested 2 hours. He can make that request tomorrow -- or 3 hours -- whatever the Senator wants. But the Senator can accommodate some of his friends in the Senate by allowing us to go forward with these two appropriations bills tonight and bring that amendment up tomorrow. The Senator is not losing anything.

Mr. President, I want to thank the Senator from Arkansas for his comments on this, and to say to my friend from Ohio, Senator Metzenbaum, that this Senator has no closer personal friend in the Senate and there is no Senator with whom I have greater admiration than Senator Metzenbaum. He knows that. He knows I wish he were going to be here next session, too. I probably would, like the Senator from Arkansas, vote with him on the antitrust exemption, although I do not know the issue that well, to tell you the truth. But I am usually on the same side of Senator Metzenbaum on these kinds of issues.

But I must again reiterate what the Senator from Oregon said, who is of course our ranking minority member on the full Appropriations Committee. Members on the minority side, on the Republican side, withheld their amendments on this bill. I think there were at least three amendments that could have been offered on this bill, and it caused a lot of problems. That would have caused a lot of problems. This bill would have bounced to the House, they would not have accepted it, it probably would have bounced back here, and it would have bounced back to the House. The deadline is Friday.

I point out to my friend from Ohio that if we go to a Continuing Resolution on this bill, it is the very people for whom he has fought and voted for all of these years who are going to be hurt. We have increases, to name just a few, in immunization, Head Start, breast cancer, AIDS prevention under the Ryan White Act -- $2.2 billion over what we had last year.

The Senator may say that will not happen. Well, it has happened before. I do not know how contentious his amendment is on baseball. I do not know. But I daresay if the Senator does this, I do not know that I, in good faith, could then go to my friends on the Republican side and say please withhold your amendments. It would be open season. And this whole bill could become bogged down in extraneous matters that have nothing to do with funding for education, health, job training, and medical research.

So while I know the Senator feels strongly about his amendment and about the antitrust exemption for baseball, I join the Senator from Arkansas asking my friend from Ohio to think about what has transpired here earlier. I know how he may feel about this. Sometimes we all get caught in these things, but the Republicans have acted in good faith on this bill and they have withheld their amendments in good faith to offer them on the D.C. appropriations bill. I must say that in good faith I have to then strenuously object or ask the Senator from Ohio to please withhold his amendment on this bill. I hate to be in that position because I have such great respect for him.

But let me tell you the dilemma in which I find myself. By happenstance this amendment is germane because the House had an amendment providing $12 million for the national youth sports program, and so I am informed by the Parliamentarian under those circumstances the amendment would not be ruled out of order, but the question of germaneness would be before the body.

I do not have such a vehicle, at least I do not know of it at this moment on the D.C. appropriations bill or on any other bills that are coming up. It just is a peculiarity that this one particular House amendment included this provision and, therefore, instead of offering an amendment which would be legislation on an appropriations bill which would be subject to a point of order, this amendment would not be subject to a point of order, and the only question would be the question of germaneness which is a totally different issue.

So I would say that I want to be cooperative. I do not want to put the bill in jeopardy. Let us face it. I am not talking about any filibuster, I am not talking about even engaging in lengthy debate. I am talking about a very limited time in which to consider this amendment, or particularly the amendment as it pertains to germaneness.

The Senator from Nebraska, who is on the floor at the moment and speaking with the Senator from Iowa, was the one who objected to my moving forward the other evening when I asked unanimous consent to bring the bill up separately, independently, and just move forward with it. So I had an objection there and I respect his right and I hold no personal grudge against him for doing that. He was fully within his rights. But in this instance we have examined the legislation in order to find an amendment to which we could attach our amendment so that it would not be out of order, and I find myself in the dilemma that if I do not put it on this point or off it at this point and give my colleagues who wish to be heard on the subject an opportunity to be heard, then we are running out of time and I have no other vehicle to which I can attach the amendment.

Mr. President, it would not. I am advised by the Parliamentarian that it would not be subject to a point of order because it relates to an amendment adopted by the House. But it would be subject to raising the question of germaneness, which could then be decided by the body; is the amendment germane or is it not? That is a totally different issue for the Senator from Ohio than the question of appealing the decision of the Chair would be the case if I offer legislation on an appropriations bill unless there is something in the amendment from the House that permits me to do so. By happenstance there is in these circumstances.

If the Senator will yield, we have two things here: We are concerned about germaneness and legislation on an appropriations bill. The national youth sports program was simply an appropriation. It is my feeling that while the Senator's amendment meets the test of germaneness, I do not know if it meets the test of not being legislation on an appropriations bill. We still could have a point of order. Whether the vote were subsequently on germaneness or appealing the ruling of the chair, it is still 51 votes, majority vote, anyway you look at it.

This matter came up some time last week when the Senator from Ohio asked unanimous consent, and I objected to that unanimous consent request. I said at that time I knew of the keen interest by the Senator from Ohio in this issue. I said at that time that I had not made up my mind. I have not studied the issue enough to know whether or not I believe there should be a temporary, partial, or a total exemption from change in the present exemption that organized baseball has.

I think there are some pros and cons on this issue. I would simply point out to my friend from Ohio, as has been pointed out by the Senator from Arkansas and the Senator from Iowa, that regardless of the matter of germaneness, the measure that he suggested we bring up is essentially not different from what the Senator from Ohio and others attempted to do with a measure that was turned down earlier this year, as I understand it, by the Judiciary Committee.

I rise again in opposition. I would hope that the Senator from Ohio, regardless of what he has a right to do to try to bring this up on this bill -- I think it is a wrong bill at the wrong time when we are trying to wind down some very important appropriations measures. I would simply advise the Senator from Ohio that at least this one Senator would raise objection to any time agreements on such an amendment. Extended debate could follow.

Again, Mr. President, I think there probably is no one in this body who is a better baseball fan, there is no one in this body I think who is more disturbed, distraught, upset, at the interruption in the middle of a very exciting season. I say a plague on both the houses, of the ownerships and of the players. Obviously the Senator from Ohio has made no secret of the fact that the players association feel that if some kind of an amendment as he has offered would become law, that then they would begin to agree to start playing baseball again if the owners would let them. I simply say that I am so discouraged. I believe that organized baseball is bringing down on that great American pastime, a cleavage that is going to be long felt by the baseball fans of the United States of America.

Therefore, I say that I think I would certainly oppose the amendment offered by the Senator from Ohio, as it was opposed by his colleagues on the Judiciary Committee.

I simply say that I really believe it is a time for the baseball players and the baseball owners to slug it out, if that is what it takes, and to delay the start of the baseball season this year, the elimination of the World Series, the playoffs and maybe it goes into next year and from there on out. But I happen to think that the selfish owners and the selfish players who kiss off the organized fans of the United States of America who are very dedicated to baseball; I am going to object; I will continue to object to any kind of a shortcut action as suggested by my friend from Ohio.

I know he is very sincere. I do not quarrel with his motives. But I believe it is the wrong time, and I will do everything that I can to oppose this. I would urge my friend from Ohio not to offer the amendment, as has been requested by the Senator from Arkansas and the Senator from Iowa. And I would simply say that if the Senator persists at least this Senator will object to any time agreements on any kind of an amendment as suggested by the Senator from Ohio.

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the pending conference report and any amendments thereto be temporarily laid aside in order for Senator Cochran and me to offer the agriculture appropriations bill on which there is no controversy, which will probably be disposed of in 10 minutes. And immediately upon the disposition of that conference report, the Senate return immediately to the pending matter on HHS.

Mr. President, reserving the right to object, I have just been advised by staff that there is a Senator on this side of the aisle who has to object to that request. I certainly do not want to object to that request. But I hope the Senator will withhold for a minute and let the Senator from Utah proceed with his comments, and then make a renewal of the request to proceed without objection.

Mr. President, I appreciate your recognizing me. I will just take a minute because I am one of the Senators who voted to keep the antitrust exemption alive in the Judiciary Committee. I have had a very difficult time voting to take the exemption away through the years, and I have always voted to keep it alive. If my recollection is correct, I cast a deciding vote on that matter.

Under our labor laws, when you have a strike and there is an impasse, the management has the power to impose unilaterally terms and conditions of employment upon the players in this case. Ordinarily, that is a right that they should have in labor law. The problem is they are going to impose their contractual provisions, or their sought-after contractual provisions, on the players while hiding behind an antitrust exemption that is greatly to the disadvantage of the players.

I cannot blame either side. They both have arguments that are worthy of consideration. But all the distinguished Senator from Ohio and I am trying to do is to say to the owners of those teams, "You can unilaterally impose, if you want to, any terms and conditions you want to under the law. But if you do, then you lose the antitrust exemption until this matter is resolved." It is a temporary loss, but it would give the players the right to have some rights as well in this matter.

To me, that is a fair way of doing it. To me, it is an intelligent way of handling it. Neither side would have a major advantage. If they want to continue to strike, they can; if the owners want to unilaterally impose terms and conditions, they can, but then they are going to be subject to an antitrust suit by the players if they do. So there will be a disincentive to do that.

So I want to commend the distinguished Senator from Ohio for at least trying to get this thing resolved in a fair and equitable manner. Normally, he and I do not agree on labor law, but in this particular case, I think it is in both sides' interest to do it this way, although I have to say, those representing the owners of the baseball teams do not like it because it takes away a super advantage that they have -- two advantages, because they have an advantage to unilaterally impose their conditions and they have an advantage of not having to suffer from litigation under the antitrust laws.

I do not know what the final negotiations will result in, but what the amendment by the distinguished Senator from Ohio does is it gives both sides a chance to sit down without all of the fuss and fury and bother and really get this matter resolved. From that standpoint, I think it is a worthwhile thing to do, and I support the Senator from Ohio. I do think it is probably going to be very difficult for him to get it done in this context, but I support him and I hope we can get this matter resolved in the interest of everybody, but above all, especially the fans.
