On Tuesday, in a speech before the National Press Club, Ervin Duggan, president of the PBS, outlined reasons why support from the Government is important, and I ask unanimous consent to have Mr. Duggan's speech printed in the Record at the end of my remarks.

Mr. President, today I would like to reiterate my support for public broadcasting because of the important educational role it plays in our society. We invest very little and we get a lot in return.

Public broadcasting does not rely solely, or even mostly, on Government support. Only 14 percent of its budget comes from Congress, approximately $1.09 per person. The rest of its funding comes from 5 million Americans and hundreds of corporations who understand the importance of quality commercial-free educational broadcasting.

Public broadcasting is no longer just MacNeil/Lehrer, "All Things Considered," "Sesame Street," and the Civil War series. I have been particularly impressed with the way public broadcasting is using new technology for education. Hundreds of thousands of Americans, who otherwise would not have the opportunity, can earn their high school or college degree through courses shown on public television. At 60 colleges -- and that number is growing -- students can earn a 2-year degree through PBS telecourses.

Millions of teachers use television's best programs, like Ken Burns' remarkable Civil War series, in the classroom. Many of these programs are now available to educators on laser disk for interactive learning.

In times of budget deficits, we all understand that we have to make the most of our limited resources, but we must also understand that one of the targets of our resources is education and that education, as we know it today, encompasses more than just a classroom. It is libraries, movies, television, radio, computers, museums, and the many other outlets of information available.

In today's society, where quality educational programming is so rare, public broadcasting fills a unique and important niche, and it asks us to invest so little -- one-fiftieth of 1 percent of our budget.

Most of us in Washington have the opportunity to enjoy local public television programming through WETA, one of the top five public broadcasting stations in the country. But public television also reaches out to the far corners of our country -- and in my own State, to Richmond, Charlottesville, Roanoke, Norfolk, and Marion. Public broadcasting brings its viewers and listeners programs they might not otherwise have the chance to experience. For example, the majority of viewers who watch opera on public television do not have a college degree and make less than $40,000 a year.

Mr. President, I believe our very small contribution to public broadcasting is one of the best investments this Government makes. As Mr. Duggan so aptly points out, public television could operate for 10 years on what Fox paid for one program of NFL football. I hope the Congress will continue its commitment to public broadcasting.

Mr. President, I refer to my position on the vote we took earlier today on the cloture motion to curtail debate on the unfunded mandates bill. On that vote I declared a live pair but indicated I would have voted for cloture.

I was not comfortable with that vote, particularly because it placed me at cross purposes with the leadership on this side of the aisle in their campaign to assure fair treatment of the minority.

But I took the position I did in the context of the long-standing practice I have followed since I first came to the Senate in 1961. And that practice is simply to support termination of debate except in extraordinary circumstances and to allow a majority of the Senate to work its will.

Mr. President, over the last 3 weeks a steep decline in the value of the Mexican peso has precipitated a financial crisis with worldwide implications. The peso's loss has not only shaken investor confidence on the Mexican stock market, but triggered a short-term debt crisis that is affecting currencies and markets throughout the hemisphere. Without a swift and sure response to this crisis, Mexico could face serious economic decline and political instability.

President Clinton was quick to recognize the long-term danger this poses for all of us. A Mexican crisis would hit the United States economy hard by reducing Mexico's ability to import United States goods and services. It could increase illegal immigration and destabilize the Mexican Government. Finally, it could spread to other emerging market economies and further reduce U.S. exports.

In light of these potential consequences, the administration moved expeditiously to propose a package of loan guarantees to address the problem. The Departments of Treasury and State have been working closely with the bipartisan leadership of the House and the Senate to craft a loan guarantee package that will bring an end to the crisis without costing money to the American taxpayer. I hope that soon we will be able to move forward on legislation to help resolve the Mexican crisis while addressing the legitimate concerns that many have raised.

Mr. President, I will be pleased to seek a time agreement. If we are going to plan for it around 8:30, 30 minutes would be fine, equally divided. I ask, if the other side does not need 15 minutes, I might need a little bit more than 15 minutes. Is that all right?

Mr. President, this essentially says -- and it is very consistent with this overall piece of legislation -- that if a committee with legislation reports out a separate report, as we often do, then that report should include an impact [[Page S1195]] statement of the impact of that piece of legislation will have on children, and if it does not, then that piece of legislation will not be in order on the floor.

Mr. President, I want to be clear with my colleagues that this is very different from the amendment that I proposed last week. The amendment I proposed last week said that if we were going to be moving forward on an agenda that I believe is going to be very mean spirited, it is important that we go on record with an assurance to people that we will not be passing any piece of legislation, any cut, any amendment, which could lead to an increase in homelessness or an increase in hunger among children. That amendment was voted down. I will bring that amendment back to the floor for a separate vote. I will continue to do so because I think this is something on which all of us, Democrats and Republicans, should go on record.

Mr. President, this particular amendment, this children's impact statement, is a little bit different. What I am essentially saying is that if we are going to be talking about the impact of legislation on State governments, the impact of legislation on local governments, the impact of legislation on large corporations, or for that matter small businesses, then we ought to be willing to look carefully at the impact of legislation on our children.

By the way, I say to my colleagues, this is a very moderate proposal. I am just simply trying to require that when committees have a report, that included in that report there be a children's impact statement. We will all look carefully at the impact of what we are doing with our legislation on children.

In context, Mr. President, The Children's Defense Fund just came out with a study. Unfortunately, this closely parallels some fairly rigorous analysis that is being done right now about where we are heading by the year 2002, if in fact we move forward with a balanced budget amendment. But part of the balanced budget amendment equation is that we increase Pentagon spending, we engage in this continuing war for more and more tax cuts, and in addition we leave other major spending categories out or we put them in parentheses. The question becomes, then, what do you need to do to cut $1.2 trillion or $1.3 trillion? The assumption is, we may very well, with what is left in the budget, be talking about a 30-percent cut in programs that help children and families.

If that is the case the Children's Defense Fund estimates that in the United States, just looking at fiscal year 2002, we would be talking about overall 1,992,550 babies, preschoolers, and pregnant women losing infant formula and other WIC nutrition supplements.

Mr. President, this is an estimate of how many children would be affected in fiscal year 2002. This is very well the direction we could be going in. By the way, Mr. President, I think one of the reasons some of leadership that has been pushing so hard on a balanced budget amendment is unwilling to talk about where the cuts will be before they get a vote on this amendment is because the arithmetic is so compelling. And in many, many ways, by the way, we are going very much against the mandates from people in this country. I thought we were trying to act on that mandate, because one of the things people have said to us is to be truthful, be straightforward, and be honest with us, do not try and finesse us.

I think one of the reasons -- and I am only taking one part of this agenda -- a good part of the leadership -- Mr. Armey is just one -- that is unwilling to talk specifically about where the cuts are going to take place before people vote up or down on this proposal is because of where the cuts will take place. While I cannot be certain, given what has been taken off the table, given what Senators do not seem to be willing to look at by way of cuts, then we can only look at that part of the budget which is on the table. And when we look at that part of the budget which is on the table, unfortunately, we are talking about cuts in programs that are extremely important for the most vulnerable citizens in this country, and I am talking specifically about children, Mr. President.

So, Mr. President, within that context, let me simply move forward and talk a little bit about some of these projections, because they are frightening. I want people in the country to know about them, and I want my colleagues to understand the context of this amendment.

The context of this amendment, again, is that by 2002, on present course, we could very well see 1,992,550 babies, preschoolers, and pregnant women who would lose infant formula and other WIC nutrition supplements. Women, Infants, and Children is what WIC stands for. By the way, as a former teacher, I argue that the most important education program in the United States of America is to make sure that every woman expecting child has a diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and protein. Otherwise, that child, at birth, will not have the same chance. These are the kind of cuts: 4,258,450 children would lose food stamps; 7,564,550 children would lose free or subsidized school lunch program lunches. Mr. President, it is not very easy for children to do well in school if they are hungry. It is a stark reality that all too many children go to school hungry. Mr. President, 6,604,450 children would lose Medicaid health coverage; 231,100 blind and disabled children would lose supplemental security income, SSI; 209,050 or more children would lose the Federal child care subsidies that enable parents to work or get education and training; 222,150 children would lose Head Start early childhood services.

Mr. President, how interesting it is -- I am not going to go through all the figures -- that all of us in public service want to have our photos taken next to children, and the only thing I am trying to do with this amendment is to simply say that before we go too far, why do we not at least -- consistent with the overall framework of this legislation -- as long as we are talking about impact statements, why do we not at least say that committees, when they have their accompanying report -- and quite often that is the case -- have as a part of that report a child impact statement so that we at least know what we are doing. This is, from my point of view, a very moderate proposal.

Mr. President, I have to say to my colleague, whom I really respect, that I am disappointed and a little bit dismayed at what would be, I gather, a motion to table this amendment. Mr. President, I have a State-by-State projection of what could very well be the impact of the balanced budget amendment on children in the United States. This report was written by the Children's Defense Fund. I intend to distribute a copy to all of my colleagues, so they can see these projections for themselves.

"One Day in the Life of American Children," was the Children's Defense Fund yearbook of 1994. I never heard anybody refute these statistics, by the way. I would like to persuade the Senator from Idaho to have a different motion. "One Day in the Life of American Children": 3 children die from child abuse in the United States of America; 9 children are murdered; 13 children die from guns; 27 children in the classroom die from poverty; 30 children are wounded by guns; 63 babies die before they are 1 month old; 101 babies die before their first birthday; 145 babies are born at very low birthweight; 102 children are arrested for drug offenses; 207 children are arrested for crimes of violence; 340 children are arrested for drinking or drunken driving. I could go on and on and on.

Mr. President, again, here are some figures that I have used: Every 5 seconds a child drops out of school in the country; every 30 seconds a child is born into poverty; 1 out of 5 children in the country today is poor, going on 1 out of 4; 1 out of every 2 children of color are poor; every 30 seconds a child is born into poverty; every 2 minutes a baby is born severely underweight. I combine these with these figures.

Now we are talking about a Contract With America, where, by the way, there is not one word or one sentence in this Contract With America that calls on any large financial institution, any large corporation, to make any sacrifice whatsoever. My fear -- and I have to tell you by this motion to table that I fear my fear is being confirmed -- is that what we are going to do is have deficit reduction. We can have deficit reduction without riding roughshod over children. All that I am asking my colleagues to do, on both sides of the aisle, is given these projections, 1,992,550 babies, preschoolers, and pregnant women would lose infant formula and other WIC nutrition supplements, in the year 2002, given where we are heading -- I could be wrong -- I hope I am wrong -- but I could be right.

Mr. President, all I am asking of my colleagues is, given the direction we could very well be going, before we pass legislation, pass amendments, make cuts that are going to hurt children in America, those citizens that are most vulnerable, that could very well take the poorest of citizens in our country and put them in a worse position, if we are considering legislation that says we should consider the impact of what we do on businesses, on State governments, on county governments, is it too much for me to ask my colleagues that we pass an amendment that committees with their accompanying report have in that report a children's impact statement; that is to say, what is the impact of this legislation on children in this country? And, if not, then there could be a point of order lodged.

And I think this may be an example. The only thing this amendment asks us to do is to make sure that in our legislative work we have a children's impact statement. It could very well be that, as a result of where we are heading with this contract, where we are heading with this balanced budget amendment, we are not going to make any cuts in oil or coal subsidies or military contracts but we are going to make cuts in programs that provide basic nutritional assistance to children in this country. Is it too much for me to ask of my colleagues that they agree that we do impact statements in reports that accompany committee legislation?

And now I have an amendment to just ask my colleagues to go on record to do an impact statement on legislation that comes out of committee with an accompanying report. I heard there is going to be a motion to table. I want people in the country to see that. I want people in the country to understand that I am going to come back over and over again. And I do not care whether any of this is ever used in any 10-second, 15-second or 30-second ads. As a matter of fact, I am told that conventional wisdom these days is that it is "not a winner" to be so active on children's issues.

Now I appreciate the Senator's concern and I appreciate what he said tonight. But I think we are taking different tacks in order to accomplish really what he is talking about. [[Page S1197]] The committees that have jurisdiction over programs with jurisdictions affecting children would include this information on their report on relevant legislation. S. 1 is a bill about unfunded mandates on States and cities, unfunded mandates for cities and States to use scarce dollars that would otherwise be spent on discretionary programs, including programs to help children.

This amendment would require all committees to prepare such a report on all legislation, including legislation dealing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which would have to file a report even when the legislation does not affect children. This amendment was part of another amendment the Senate considered earlier this year and was tabled by a vote of 56 to 43.

Mr. President, first of all, just so my colleagues have a full understanding of what is at issue here, this amendment is not in opposition to this unfunded mandates legislation at all. And the fact that, Mr. President, that local school board official or others say that they think the unfunded mandates bill would benefit children does not in any way, shape, or form detract from this amendment. This amendment is actually meant to just support this piece of legislation. This amendment speaks not to the unfunded mandates bill, but this amendment speaks to where we are heading with our budget cuts.

Mr. President, I believe the Senator from Idaho will hear from many locally elected officials, including school officials, who are very worried that if, in fact, we cut into all of these kinds of programs, starting with child nutrition programs, that States and/or local governments are going to have to pick them up -- maybe school districts -- out of a property tax.

Actually, what the Senator was talking about was kind of an apples and oranges proposition. This amendment is not in opposition to the unfunded mandates legislation. This amendment just says that if we are going to look at the impact of what we are doing on State governments or if we look at the impact on what we are doing on companies, we ought to look at the impact of what we are doing on children. That is all this amendment says. This amendment says that if a committee is going to file a report, and if the committee is working on legislation or budget cuts that affect children, then there ought to be a children's impact statement. That is all this amendment says.

One more time, it strengthens this piece of legislation. It just gives the Senate the same concern about children, that we are at least willing to look at the impact of what we are doing on children. And Mr. President, these numbers by Children's Defense Fund, that are backed up by numbers by a lot of organizations, suggest we could very well be going in the direction with this Contract With America of cutting programs that provide essential support for the most vulnerable citizens in this country -- children.

Again, I do not really understand the opposition from my colleagues. We want to look at the impact of what we do on State governments. We want to look at the impact of what we do on businesses. But for some reason, we do not want to look at the impact of what we do on children in America.

Mr. President, I submitted to the distinguished Democratic leader a unanimous-consent request and have not yet had an opportunity to talk with the Democratic leader. So, because I am not certain this will be the last vote, I suggest the absence of a quorum while we have that conversation.

Mr. President, let me say that we have been working in good faith on both sides today and part of yesterday to put an agreement where we would be in session tomorrow but not have any votes, and on Monday, consider amendments but no votes before 4 o'clock. The proposal was that all the amendments that we had agreed to be put in this little basket to be offered by 3 o'clock on Tuesday. We thought that was fair. We whittled our numbers from 30-some down to 11, and I think on the Democratic side, it was 78 down to 42 or 43. Some of those may or may not be offered. We are unable to get that agreement, unfortunately.

I would say that the reason for 3 o'clock on Tuesday was to make certain that both policy luncheons would have an opportunity to discuss the bill and both the majority and minority side would have time to come back after the luncheons and say, "Well, we want to offer the following amendments," and they could be offered by the manager or by any Senator who had an amendment.

I might further state that it seems to me -- I know the Senator from West Virginia would agree that only the following amendments be in order, but they would not have to be offered at any time. In my view, that would mean if we would debate those amendments, 40 or 50 amendments, we could debate those the next 30 days. So we wanted some cutoff time. After that time, no amendments could be offered.

But if not, then I will proceed, as I have indicated, with the vote on the pending amendment, a motion to table that, plus a motion to table each of the committee amendments. And I believe there are four remaining. So there would be four votes on the motion to table committee amendments.

Now what does that mean, "offer any amendment on the list"? I do not have any amendment that I consider just to be a minor, inconsequential amendment. If I have an amendment, I consider it important enough that I be here to offer my own amendment. This is not the legislative process in accordance with the rules.

I do not know what that means -- "must be offered." If I offer an amendment, I may want to take 2 or 3 hours on it. If somebody else offers an amendment, I may want to offer an amendment in the second degree to it. We have had too much of this business of accommodations. We have streamlined this process to the point that Senators are going to lose the knowledge of their responsibilities here. We do not have the responsibility to shortcut this process. We do not have the responsibility to put it on automatic pilot. We have a responsibility, as Senators, to be here, to call up our amendments and not be under the gun to have to call up 30 or 40 amendments by 3 o'clock next Tuesday or Wednesday or whatever it is.

But this idea of having the minority manager offer any amendments on the list from the minority side, and the majority manager -- and I trust them both; this is not anything against the managers at all. They are both here and they are doing a good job. They are carrying out their responsibilities. If they can be here to offer amendments, why cannot Senators who are the authors of the amendments be here to offer them?

We have too much efficiency now. The constitutional framers did not create the United States Senate to be an efficient organization. The Senate was intended to be a second House in which the Members would have longer terms and thus be more independent in their votes; where legislation passed by the House in a hurry could cool off; where it could be meticulously studied, thoughtfully amended, reasonably agreed to or rejected.

I would not have given my unanimous consent to taking up this bill if I had not been misled by promises which were made in good faith; no intention to mislead anyone. But I gave consent to take up this bill on the promise that there be a committee report the next morning. The committee report did not appear, but I had already given my consent to take it up. Had I known the committee reports were not going to be available, I would not have given my unanimous consent. So let Members take our time. We want to have a cloture vote; well, that is in accordance with the rules. Let Members go by the rules here. Let Members slow down here a little bit. Let Members know what we are doing.

Suppose I, in my view, once we have gotten through this amendment process, feel that there ought to be some more talk on this bill? Any Senator may be displeased with the action that is taken on amendments in the intervening time. Why should he be gagged? I say to my own leader over here, I apologize. He is doing his level best to press this legislation forward in an orderly way. He was kind enough to come to me with this agreement.

I do not understand this business of letting the majority manager or the minority manager call up all first-degree amendments, must be offered by 3 o'clock p.m. on Tuesday. What is meant by "offered"? All first degree amendments must be offered by 3 o'clock p.m. on Tuesday. We are supposed to be out tomorrow. That only leaves Monday, and up to 3 o'clock on Tuesday. Then on Monday, by a certain time.

So we will set up votes. Sometimes in the legislative process, the necessity for offering a second-degree amendment does not arise in advance. I just think that we are getting in too much of a hurry on this important issue. The number is S. 1. Obviously, it is an important bill.

I know some Senators may be unhappy with me, but I am sorry. I think we need to slow down. If we want to enter into a list of amendments, that is fine. We have done that before. But I have seen this Senate deteriorate, one reason being this very thing, entering into agreements like this that relieve Members of our responsibilities to be here on this floor and do our own work, doing it painstakingly and carefully.

I am not going to agree to this. This is too important a bill. We have the Contract With America. Here is my "Contract With America" right here, the Constitution of the United States. I am not going to roll over and play dead. If my friends feel that standing up for the rights of the minority and an orderly legislative process calls for my expulsion from the Senate, then let the Senate proceed.

I say what I have said with respect to the majority leader. I told our friends over here earlier while we were on the debate, cutting down on the filibuster, that that leader over there is tough. Wait and see. He will use the rules on me. And I respect that and I admire that. And I also respect the fact that I can stand up, and I have a right to oppose those efforts to the limit of whatever rights and powers that I have.

This is just jamming and ramming legislation through. The American people out there do not want that done. We have time. It is only the 19th of January. What is all the rush? The Senate will be in session, it says, on Friday, in order for Members to offer amendments contained in a list.

List? Who is going to know? If I offer an amendment on the list, who will be here to listen to me? They may not listen here on the floor, but they may be over in their house and know what is going on. They follow the debate, and their staff hears, as well. What kind of legislation is this when the Senate allows itself to come in on Friday, and no one will be listening to Senators, just come in and offer your amendments, and all the amendments have to be offered by a certain time on Monday or Tuesday?

What does offering the amendment mean? Does it just mean leaving amendments at the desk? What parliamentary statute does offering an amendment give them, except when it is done in accordance with the rule? When I get recognized, Mr. President, I send an amendment to the desk. That is offering an amendment. But I am not going to have any Senator stand up here and offer 15, 20, 30, or 50 amendments just to offer them, no action taken on them. What happens to them when Senators just offer amendments? What happens to them if no action is taken? How do we get rid of one amendment and go to the next?

Senators who have been around here a while who know how the process works, answer that question for me. Somebody tell me. I stand up here as the manager of the bill. I am going to offer 20 amendments. What does that mean? Does that mean sending 20 amendments up there en bloc? I do not know what that means in that context. I know what it means to offer an amendment under the rules.

I did want to indicate we have had 15 votes on this bill. We started Thursday, January 12, at 10:30 a.m. Up until about 6 o'clock, we had had approximately 25 hours of debate; the Democrats used 15 hours, the Republicans 10. But in the 15 votes taken on this bill, 5 were unanimous, and 3 were sense-of-the-Senate. I think we have only really voted on two or three amendments to the bill.

We were getting a list today of 78 or 80, and not many were even relevant. But few were germane. And then our list was some 30 amendments. We whittled our list down to 11. There are still 40-some on the other side.

We must do what we must do as the majority, to try to move the bill along. It is not going to be easy. So I have asked unanimous consent that we just agree to that, and that has been objected to. So I would propose another unanimous-consent request and see if we might be able to save some time; that it be in order for me to table the Gorton amendment and the four remaining committee amendments en bloc, and one vote count as five rollcall votes.
