Daniel Moynihan
Mr. President, I will remark, if I might, on the brevity of this measure, the succinctness of its purpose, which is to increase the debt ceiling of the United States from the present $4.9 trillion to $5.4 -- one should not use decimal points when referring to trillions -- $5.4 trillion. This $500 billion increase will provide sufficient borrowing authority for the Federal Government until about the end of May 1997.

Daniel Moynihan
Mr. President, I offer this amendment on the circumstance of the 11th time since 1984 that the Federal Government has been in a "debt issuance suspension period," commonly known as a debt ceiling crisis. The repeated past crises of the debt ceiling, and the present unprecedented, protracted crisis that has been upon us since the debt ceiling was reached over 2 months ago, has left the Secretary of the Treasury, the distinguished Secretary Robert Rubin, with little recourse under law by which he could allow the Government to continue. But he has now stated that there are three remaining ones, with the very specific sums associated with each, and that in no circumstances can the Government meet its financial obligations after the 29th of February or the 1st of March.

What we face, Mr. President, is the prospect of default. Moody's Investors Service has placed on review for possible downgrading -- those are the terms -- some $387 billion of obligations of the U.S. Treasury for interest payments falling due between February 29 and April 1, the first time in our history that the credit of the United States has been potentially brought into question by an investment advisory service.

How to scale this event? We are not going to have many people participate in this debate and not many people will be on the floor as we proceed. I wonder if there is not some apprehension about this issue that leads to a kind of avoidance.

How would you scale this prospect of default, Mr. President? I give you the typical prospect. It would be the equivalent of losing a war. We are not talking about a program. We are not talking about appropriations. We are talking about the United States of America.

Daniel Moynihan
The War of 1812 was perhaps the closest we ever came to losing a war. In 1814 the British seized Washington. They burned the White House. They burned the Treasury building. They burned the Capitol. But the service of the debt of the U.S. Government went forward undisturbed out of subtreasuries elsewhere, prominently New York and Philadelphia.

Daniel Moynihan
We were a debtor then, a debtor nation, rapidly paying off our debt. We would have none whatever by 1837. We had acquired that debt in the course of the Revolutionary War. State governments incurred this debt, and Alexander Hamilton insisted that the Federal Government assume that debt. Paying it off established the credit of the United States in Europe and in a mode that allowed us to be a great importer of capital through the 19th century as we built our industries and infrastructure.

Daniel Moynihan
Today we are not only a debtor once again but we are the world's largest debtor, the result, Mr. President, not of the War for Independence, but of the working out of the long-term strategy that took shape in the late 1970's designed to refashion the American National Government by dismantling its finances.

Mr. President, I spoke upon that subject on any number of times in the 1970's. In July 7, 1980, I wrote a long article for the New York Times describing it. And I said of that strategy which came to be known as starve the beast:

And 3\1/2\ years later, with the new administration in place and a budget deficit now steadily rising, I wrote of this same subject. Might I just add, Mr. President, that on January 20, 1981, the debt was about $900 billion. In the intervening 15 years we have added $4 trillion.

I spoke again of this basic proposition, not easily understood, not widely even noted. The proposition is that the deficits were purposeful, that is to say, that the deficits in the President's initial budgets were purposeful. They were expected to disappear. They have not disappeared.

Democrats might come to understand the sense of the opposing party that Government, indeed, had become too big, too interventionist, at times, indeed, an obstacle to the private lives and private fortunes of the citizenry. There is that edge, the regulatory state.

Republicans would have to understand that they could not put it in service of the political strategy, they could not put the integrity of the United States of America at risk and that compromise may finally have been reached. It has been agreed that we will balance the budget in 7 years. This will involve reducing a great many programs. It will involve preserving others.

The debt service did it, not quite as anticipated but effectively so. The strategy has worked. I might give you a specific, and I will not be long. In 1994-1997, the period we are in, spending on Government programs is less than taxes for the first time since the 1960's. If you go back 30 years to the Kennedy-Johnson era, you will find a time when we were spending less than we collected in revenues, and at that time, a great source of concern arose for economists: the phenomenon of fiscal drag. Congress was not spending as much money as it brought in.

Daniel Moynihan
That changed so dramatically. The deficits of the 1980's, as far as the eye can see, continued until, in 1993, under President Clinton, we passed legislation that reduced spending and increased revenues by half a trillion dollars. After that, the deficit premium, as it is called, on interest rates declined. The anticipation that we would deal with the deficit reduced interest payments, and outlays were reduced by another $100 billion.

Daniel Moynihan
So right now, revenues are running ahead of outlays, save for the debt service. The debt service has done its work. Debt has done its work, and now it seems to me, it appears to me, that we have an understanding of the reality. However little either side might like it, it is there.

Daniel Moynihan
Can we not go forward now to agree to extend the debt ceiling in the context of an agreement to bring about a balanced budget, not to put the United States at risk in a world in which we are the largest debtor, and our debt is held by central banks and elsewhere all around the world? To bring it into question is to bring the fundamentals of the American Government into question as well.

Bill Roth
Mr. President, I rise to urge my colleagues to vote against this amendment to raise the debt ceiling on this occasion. Without a doubt, the debt ceiling will eventually be raised as it needs to be and as it should be in order to avoid default.

The problem with addressing the debt ceiling issue at this point is that there is some urgency in our need to enact the continuing resolution. To keep Government from shutting down, this resolution must be enacted today and it must be clean.

This CR has already been negotiated with the House, the Senate, and the White House. The President has said that he will sign this bill tonight. This is critically important to maintain uninterrupted Government services for the American people.

To open the CR now for amendment is to create an obstacle that will most certainly keep this bill from passing and result in a Government shutdown. We must reach closure today.

We will address the debt ceiling. Secretary Rubin has asked us to do so before March 1. That's over a month away. Consequently, there is no urgency to extend the debt limit now -- not if it means once again shutting down the Government.

The Finance Committee is currently in discussions with Treasury regarding various aspects of this issue. And we will move forward with the debt ceiling issue when the moment serves. But not now.

The amendment violates the Constitution. Revenue bills must arise in the House, and that includes legislation affecting the debt ceiling. If we adopt this amendment, the House will blue slip the legislation, and we will be further behind than if we pass this CR and address the debt at a more appropriate time.

It is customary for Congress to consider debt ceiling legislation together with provisions to reduce the deficit. The House is in the process of fashioning such a package. The Speaker has talked with the President.

Leon Panetta has indicated the administration is willing to work on such a package. This amendment derails that effort. It is clear, then, that this amendment, even if it were legal, would not be well received in the House. Rather than achieve gridlock once again with the Moynihan amendment, we need to send this continuing resolution to the President.

Daniel Moynihan
Mr. President, may I say to my friend, the distinguished chairman -- and I understand his reasons full well, and they are wholly appropriate -- what separates this moment from others in the past is that the full faith and credit of the United States is even now being questioned in international markets. That has never happened. It has not happened since 1792 when Hamilton worked out the assumption of the State debt.

Daniel Moynihan
I think the fact that the President and the Republican leaders in the House and here in the Senate have come to an understanding that there will be a balanced budget agreed to -- and the distinguished chairman of the Budget Committee was there -- that should be enough for us to say that will happen. And, incidentally, do not for a moment ever think that the United States would default on their debt. That is all we seek in the spirit of good will.

Daniel Moynihan
I point out that the budget agreement, already tentatively marked up, cuts domestic discretionary spending of the Federal Government by one- third in 7 years. David Stockman, in his moment of the utmost optimism, could never have conceived that such an amount of drastic reduction would not only be agreed to but hardly remarked upon. The era of big Government is, in fact, over. But the era of default, bankrupt Government, surely must not commence.

Mr. President, the Senate can be assured that I want to expedite the vote on this issue as much as anyone else. So I will be very brief. There are some people in the country that are concerned about the full faith and credit that has been such an advantageous thing for our Treasury bills and the financing of our debt. Our Treasury bills have been almost the greatest currency in the world. They are the money market in many parts of the world. Certainly, it does not behoove the Senate or the U.S. House, Democrat or Republican, to do anything to tarnish that.

But I believe today the issue before us is: Shall we open the Government, pay our workers, and get on with the ordinary daily activities of the Government and, at the same time, assure the marketplace and those who are concerned that there is no intention on the part of those on this side of the aisle that are in a position during the next 4 or 5 weeks to get that debt limit extended, and that there is no intention on our part that we let the Treasury bills of the United States go into default? I stand before the Senate because some of those people that are influenced by our actions are, from time to time, interested in my opinion and my views. Frankly, I am saying tonight that I think we ought not cause the Government of the United States to be closed down even for 24 hours while we add an amendment that is not necessary tonight.

We are saying as strongly as we can -- I have been with our leader; there is no intention to do anything other than to work with the President to extend the debt limit. I cannot say here to Senator Moynihan that it will be absolutely a clean debt limit, but I can say there is an intention to extend it in a way that would be signed by the President.

I remind everyone it would be almost historic if in this kind of a situation you had a clean bill. There would be some things worked out between the White House and the Congress. It is always a vehicle that sends some things to the White House that get done that everyone wants done. I do not believe we ought to leave the notion out there in America that if this proposal of Senator Moynihan is tabled, and I hope it is tabled, that there is any intention to do anything but have a debt limit extension in an orderly and timely manner.

Mr. President, I thank the distinguished Senator from New Mexico and the distinguished Senator, the chairman of the Finance Committee, because I have risen in both our caucuses here recently and expressed my grave concern about this issue of the full faith and credit of the United States, how that could be combatted by the actions with relation to the debt limit.

I, like the distinguished Senator, the chairman of the committee here, feel very strongly, as does the Senator from Delaware and the Senator from New Mexico, that we cannot shut down the Government tonight.

As I understand, both Senators are giving the assurance to the Senate that we will, in an orderly manner, work this thing out in a manner that will not have an adverse impact upon the financial markets of our Nation. I believe the Senator is giving that assurance.

I say to the distinguished Senator from Virginia, that is exactly what we are doing. We are acting in a responsible way today; we are taking action that will ensure that the Government can continue to function, which I know is of primary interest to our distinguished Senator from Virginia. That is the reason we do not want it to be amended further. That would only delay the process and bring about the shutdown that I think no one wants.

As a second step, we are working already, together with the House, with the administration. I was in contact yesterday with the Secretary of the Treasury. We are proceeding to do something about the debt ceiling because I, like Senator Warner, want full faith from the President. So we are working to provide the type of legislation that meets everybody's requirements and can be enacted by the Congress.

Daniel Moynihan
I have to point out that we have not always had as good an experience on the House side. A Member on the House side, the counterpart to the distinguished chairman of the Budget Committee, once openly said, "Let's do this," and then disappeared. We cannot put the United States, the integrity of the United States of America, at risk this way with complete understanding of the Senator from Virginia's concern that the Federal Government stay open. I still hope we might have a vote on this. I do not want to prolong matters.

Mr. President, I wanted to rise in full support of the amendment by the distinguished Senator from New York. If ever there was a valid reason for stalling an increase in the debt limit, I believe it has evaporated. The basic agreement has been achieved on the objective of controlling the deficits that contribute to the debt.

While policy disagreements still persist on some issues, including Medicare, there appears to be sufficient agreement on other budget issues to provide $700 billion in long-term savings. Surely, there has been more than adequate demonstration of good faith.

The apprehensions of Moody's Investor Service with respect to the credit rating of the U.S. Federal securities should dispel any glib assurances that the Secretary of the Treasury can still perform acts of fiscal wizardry to stay under the present limit.

Mr. President, I rise today to voice my support for the amendment offered by Senator Moynihan to attach a clean debt limit extension to the continuing resolution. Congress must not play politics with the full faith and credit of the United States. We must extend the debt limit within the next 5 weeks or the consequences will be catastrophic.

If we fail to raise the debt limit by March 1, the United States will default on its financial obligations for the first time in the history of our Republic. As a result, bondholders will not receive the payments they are due. Social security recipients and veterans may not receive their monthly benefits, and long-term interest rates will increase across the board.

Interest rate increases mean that the United States will waste billions of dollars on increased debt service costs, ironically, making it even more difficult to balance the budget. But perhaps most important, higher interest rates mean that the millions of Americans with any kind of loan -- mortgages, car loans, even credit card balances -- can expect higher monthly payments for years to come.

I would urge my colleagues to heed the words of former Treasury Secretary James A. Baker, who stated in 1985, "It would be an absolute disgrace if the United States defaulted for the first time in its over- 200-year history. Any default will have swift and severe implications both domestically and internationally." On November 9, 1995, six former Secretaries of the Treasury, who served in Democratic and Republican Presidential administrations, wrote, "We urge that prompt action be taken either to raise the debt limit permanently * * * or that a sufficient short-term increase be enacted to allow the debate over priorities to proceed in an orderly manner without impairing market confidence in our Nation's commitment to discharge its obligations".

Furthermore, former Chairman of the Federal Reserve Paul Volker wrote that "The appropriate approach, short of early agreement on a comprehensive budget program * * * [is] raising the debt ceiling so that authorized expenditures -- including payment of interest on Treasury debt -- can be made in a timely fashion." In addition to these current and former leaders of the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve, leading credit agencies have warned of the dire consequences of default. Standard & Poors has warned, "Even a short-lived default on the U.S. Government's direct debt obligations would profoundly impact a broad range of securities and financial market participants." Again, Mr. President, I thank the Senator from New York for offering this very important amendment.

When there is a Republican in the White House, the problem is on that side of the aisle; when there is a Democrat in the White House, the problem is on this side of the aisle, the problem as far as the administration is concerned.

I remember going to conference with amendments on Nicaragua. I think there were 19 amendments -- foreign policy, everything you could think of was on the debt ceiling. I assure the Democratic leader on the floor and the former chairman of the Finance Committee, as I did Secretary Rubin the night of the State of the Union Message, we believe we can get this done in a timely fashion so no checks will be late, nothing will be interrupted in any way.

Having said that, as one who did not favor the shutting down of the Government in the first place, I do not think we ought to risk doing it on a Friday afternoon. If this amendment should be accepted, it has to go back to the House. The House is in recess. I assume they could come back Sunday or whenever.

I really believe we have an agreement here that has been approved by the White House and by the leadership in both parties, in both the House and the Senate. I hope we will not make it more difficult by -- I know that is not the intent of the Senator from New York, do not misunderstand me, but I think it would make it more difficult. I know that is not the Senator's intent. I respectfully move to table the amendment, and I ask for the yeas and nays.

Mr. President, I would like to thank all of those who have participated in the debate. I would like particularly to thank the chairmen of the Committee on Finance and the Committee on the Budget for the undertakings that they have made, and to say again that I hold them in full faith and credit of the United States. I think we can work this out, and clearly we intend to do so. It can be done.

Mr. President, I assume one of the votes that we will have today will be the continuing resolution. The fiscal year 1996 Foreign Operations conference report has been attached in its entirety to this continuing resolution. That means that foreign aid programs will be funded through the fiscal year at the levels agreed to by the House and Senate conferees.

Patrick Leahy
The conference report represents a devastating assault on many foreign operations programs that are vital United States interests abroad. For that the House Republican leadership bears primary responsibility. But our alternative, a year long continuing resolution, would be far worse. It would cause irreparable harm to these programs and many of the Federal employees who implement them would have to be laid off. For that reason it is essential that this conference report be enacted into law.

The conference report funds a wide range of activities that are strongly supported by both Democrats and Republicans. Although I believe the funding provided for many programs falls far short of what is required to effectively combat global threats to the American people -- whether it is environmental pollution, the spread of infectious disease, unchecked population growth, political and economic instability caused by enormous numbers of people living in abject poverty, the growing problem of international crime and terrorism, and the proliferation of nuclear and conventional weapons, it is better than no funds at all.

Since the NATO operation began in Bosnia just a little over a month ago, over 20 NATO soldiers have been injured or killed by landmines, including 1 American. That is in addition to the 225 UNPROFOR landmine casualties in Bosnia, and the thousands of civilian landmine victims, since the war began 4 years ago. Of the estimated 100 million unexploded landmines in the world, 6 million are in the former Yugoslavia. Landmines are killing and maiming an average of one person every 22 minutes, every day of the year.

My amendment aims to put the United States in the forefront of the effort against these inhumane weapons. It follows by just 1 week the announcement by the Canadian Government that it will unilaterally halt all production, use and export of antipersonnel landmines. In just the past year, Belgium, France, Austria, Switzerland and the Philippines have taken similar steps.

That is the goal President Clinton announced at the United Nations over a year ago. This amendment sets the stage for making that goal a reality. Once this provision is signed into law, the President, the Vice President, the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Pentagon bureaucracy, the Secretary of State, and our U.N. Ambassador should all speak forcefully and with one voice. The message should be that antipersonnel landmines are unacceptable. They are indiscriminate, inhumane, impossible to control, and the United States is going to stop using them and do whatever we can to convince other governments to join with us in making their use a war crime.

Mr. President, the one amendment in disagreement in the Foreign Operations conference report which deals with international family planning has also been resolved, but I want to be sure Senators understand what the House has done. Essentially, the House has presented us with a fait accompli. The choice is either take their offer on the amendment in disagreement, with no opportunity to amend it, or the entire Foreign Operations budget, with none of the policy language, will be governed by a continuing resolution.

I know that the distinguished chairman of the Appropriations Committee, Senator Hatfield, is as frustrated about this as I am. I certainly intend to do whatever I can to resist these heavy handed tactics in the future. But given the choice, we have no alternative. A year long CR at either the House level or 75 percent of fiscal year 1995 levels would be far worse for many important programs.

Our conference report categorically prohibits the use of any funds for abortion. Yet the House, at the behest of the right-to-life lobby, would cut $88 million from programs that have only one purpose -- to give couples the means to avoid unwanted pregnancies and reduce the incidence of abortion. Why anyone would want to do that is beyond me, but that is what the House has done. Anyone who wants to see fewer abortions, and fewer women die from botched abortions, should deplore this action.

The provision in this CR would prohibit the obligation of any family planning funds -- funds to purchase and distribute contraceptives, to provide technical assistance for improving the quality and safety of contraceptives, to educate couples about birth spacing -- none of these funds could be spent before July 1 unless they are specifically authorized.

If there is no authorization bill by that date, and I have yet to meet anyone who thinks there will be, only 65 percent of the fiscal year 1995 level for family planning could be obligated, and then only in monthly installments. The net effect of this will be an $88 million cut in family planning assistance.

If I thought there was any way to amend this provision without jeopardizing the entire conference report, I would not hesitate because I know a majority of the Senate would support me.

Mr. President, the United States has been a leader in the effort to stabilize the world's exploding rate of population growth. Tens of millions of people are born into abject poverty every year, but today we are cutting programs to give couples the means to avoid unwanted pregnancies. Anyone with an ounce of brains can see that the logical result will be more abortions, not less. That is what the right-to-life lobby, and their defenders in the House have accomplished.

Mr. President, of the many controversial issues in the continuing resolution we are considering today, few have been as contentious as the debate about international population programs in the foreign operations appropriations bill. Astoundingly, the entire foreign aid bill has been held up for months by several antichoice Members, mainly in the House, who have, illogically, sought to impose restrictions concerning abortion on international family planning assistance.

These misguided provisions are not included in today's CR. Instead we are faced with provisions withholding population funds until July 1, unless there is an authorization, and then limiting funding for the program to 65 percent of today's levels. It is a victory for those of us who are prochoice on the question of abortion, but not very good news for those of us -- presumably the vast majority of the Congress, and including most of the people who fought against the original Senate provisions -- who support family planning. What a bizarre, if not ridiculous, situation we are in today.

As my colleagues will remember, in the name, supposedly, of stopping abortion, the House sought to prohibit U.S. contributions to the United Nations Population Assistance Fund, and reimpose the regressive Mexico City policy on population. Of course, such propositions would not do anything to reduce incidents of abortion, but would actually harm efforts to increase family planning assistance -- the best remedy, obviously, for avoiding abortion. Fortunately, these anti-abortion restrictions have all been stripped from the foreign ops bill, and population assistance will not be hindered by irrelevant but damaging restrictions. In that, we have succeeded, finally, in separating population assistance from abortion, and have scored a victory for family planning. The Mexico City policy has been rebuffed by the 104th Congress, and our support for the work of the UNFPA has been reaffirmed.

But, Mr. President, the cause of curbing abortion will not be served well by the cuts in population assistance legislated in this bill. In fact, the only inroads the antifamily planning forces made today was in taking gratuitous and harassing shots at the budget for population. While other programs will be held to 75 percent of current funding levels, population programs will be funded at only 65 percent of today's budget. The money will not be distributed until July 1, and even then, it will be apportioned only on a month-to-month basis. Mr. President, this is nothing more than a formula for disarray, and will do nothing to achieve the goals of its sponsors.

Who really believes that the rapid, exponential growth of the world's population -- regardless of our positions on abortion -- does not impact American interests? Population pressures are a linchpin of so many global concerns, such as economic development, health, food security, migration, environment, and improving the status of women. Through the U.S. bilateral population program, as well as our contribution to the UNFPA, we have affected significant successes in all those fields.

It is beyond me -- and saddens me -- that these issues have been entangled in a debate about abortion. It reflects a fundamental misunderstanding that family planning and abortion are not the same. Supporters of family planning have been subjected to charges and insinuations that we support China's appalling coercive abortion policy; that we want to fund lobbies that promote pro-abortion policies worldwide; and that we actually want to promote abortion as a method of family planning. All these propositions are untrue, and are in fact red herrings. I'm pleased that they have been recognized as such, and dropped in the final provisions of this bill.

Unfortunately, however, the presumptions that underlie this thinking -- that family planning is somehow not essential to curbing abortion -- are prevailing in this bill. Population assistance should be treated just as any other foreign aid account, and by subjecting it to deeper cuts, and odd distribution guidelines, no one's goal is being reached.

The cuts in this continued funding resolution compromise our Nation's public health and environment. This bill appropriates 5.7 billion dollars for EPA -- that's a 14-percent cut -- or nearly one billion dollars from the fiscal year 1995 level. It's a 22.5 percent cut -- or 1.7 billion dollars -- from the President's fiscal year 1996 request.

Mr. President, the cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency in this bill mean that an already stretched agency will not be able to carry out critically important work that ensures the health and safety of all Americans, and will result in a set-back of national efforts to ensure that every American citizen breaths clean air, drinks clean water, and is safe from the dangers of hazardous waste. These are the EPA funds that are spent working with States and municipalities in the development of our air quality, water quality, lead abatement, and food safety standards; the funds that allow EPA to keep track of the level of pollution in our air, our water, our food, our environment; that allow the EPA to work with states and with industries to help them discover the sources of pollution problems and helps they comply with Federal safety standards; that allow the EPA to give technical assistance to State pollution control agencies and county air and water quality boards; that allow the EPA to carry out environmental impact statements on industry actions that may hurt the environment; that allow EPA to work all over this country to educate industry and small business and help comply with the law so that enforcement actions are avoided. In the long run this will mean more water pollution, more smog in our cities and countryside, more toxic waste problems. For example funding cuts are seriously jeopardizing cleanup of 12 toxic superfund sites in and around the Los Angeles area including the Newark San Bernadino site and San Gabriel sites.

Republicans seem to take great pride in their efforts to dismantle key social programs that Americans hold dear, but they have chosen to take their war against the environment underground. The cuts to the EPA budget show us the covert war that is being waged by Republicans against our environment. It has to be covert because they have seen the results of poll after poll showing that the vast majority of Americans feel that our environmental laws should be strengthened not stripped away. In my many years in public office not once has anyone told me, "Senator, our air is too clean," or "our water is too safe." The back door attack on our environmental laws seen here is cuts in EPA's budget that will cripple EPA's ability to set and enforce environmental standards.

Mr. President, I cannot support the continuing resolution which is before the Senate today. This resolution cuts education funds to the House passed level, except for those programs that were not funded by the House in which case they are cut by 25 percent. If we were to extend this continuing resolution for the remainder of the fiscal year, the impact would be an unprecedented $3.1 billion cut in education funds from the fiscal year 1995 funding level. And, it contains deep cuts in a range of important domestic priorities, like a 25 percent reduction in the funds to put 100,000 cops on the streets of America. This in a year in which $7 billion more has been appropriated in defense spending than the Pentagon asked for.

The failure to support a simple continuing resolution that adequately funds education programs at fiscal year 1995 levels is creating serious problems for schools, teachers, and students. Our children -- America's future -- are the innocent victims of this retreat from education. Here are just a few examples, Mr. President, of the devastating impact if the funding level in this continuing resolution is continued through the remainder of the fiscal year.

Mr. President, the impact of this continuing resolution will be immediate and long-lasting because of the way in which school budgets are set. Now is the time for teacher contracts to be signed. Schools must by law send layoff notices to teachers as early as March and April, advising them they will not be rehired in the fall, but communities cannot make these decisions because the funding is uncertain. Plans for professional development, technology purchases, training, and school safety programs could be delayed or eliminated. Now is the time for cities to submit their school budgets, but they cannot adequately do this because they do not have any numbers to work with. Now is the time for colleges to project what aid they will have to offer newly enrolled students, but they cannot make funding projections because they have not been told how much they are going to have to offer students. If students cannot be assured they will have financial aid, many will have to forgo plans to go to college.

The strategy of causing Government shutdowns and threatening to raise the debt ceiling, thereby threatening the credit rating of the United States, has been inappropriate and discredited. We are told by the majority that there is no longer a quorum available in the House of Representatives, so we cannot amend this continuing resolution. The implication is that we have to accept these cuts and make no adjustments, otherwise the Government would be shutdown tomorrow -- the third time this year. Again, we are painted into a corner. Well the House can return to work at the call of the Speaker. If we do the right thing by education, they can quickly do so too.

The Congress should stay here, all night, all weekend, if necessary, and work out and adopt a clean continuing resolution with adequate domestic funding and a clean bill to raise the debt ceiling so that the credit rating of the United States is not in doubt for weeks to come.

Mr. President, I want to say at the outset that our Federal employees, our financial markets, and our economy in general, should never have been subjected to the risks created by shutdowns, threats of shutdowns, and the failure to act responsibly with respect to the debt ceiling. Hostage-taking and legislative blackmail is not the way to arrive at the kind of solution we need to solve our budget problems.

But passing one short-term funding bill after another -- one every few weeks or so, is not the way to do it. This is unfair to our students who want to pursue educational opportunities. It is unfair to our science community whose research is interrupted. It is unfair to Government employees who want to work. And it is unfair to all others who depend upon the appropriations contained in these bills.

Now, 4 months into the fiscal year, we are considering a fourth extension. Mr. President, it's time to act on these appropriations bills -- not just by temporary extension, but by getting them passed. We should not hold these six appropriations bills hostage in the name of balancing the budget.

It is ironic, isn't it, that the activities financed by these uncompleted appropriation bills, or what is also known as domestic discretionary spending, is not the part of Federal spending that has caused the budget crisis the Federal Government is facing. Discretionary spending is not the sole problem. Domestic discretionary spending has not grown as a percentage of the GDP since 1969, the last time we had a balanced budget. Domestic discretionary spending comprises only one-sixth of the $1.5 trillion Federal budget, and it is steadily declining.

Every dollar of Federal spending must be examined to see what can be done better, and what we no longer need to do. However, the budget cannot be balanced by looking in this one area, no matter how large the cuts.

The budget proposed by the majority party calls for $349 billion in savings from discretionary spending, but that comes from a portion of the budget that constitutes only 18 percent of the overall Federal budget -- the part of spending that is not growing and the part of the budget that funds education and police and basic services we all count on. This part of the budget is not the major source of our deficit problem. We need to focus our savings on those areas of the budget that don't conflict with our priorities and values.

That is why I cosponsored and voted for Senator Kennedy's education amendment because I believe that we should meet our obligation to our children and to the future. If the current CR were extended for a full year, education funding would be cut $3.1 billion below last year's level. Illinois would lose $72.4 million, including a $54 million cut in title I funding.

Continuing to fund education programs at 75 percent of their 1995 levels will, at some point, simply become a 25-percent cut in education funding. Schools that are trying to plan for the coming year will soon have no choice but to assume a 25-percent cut and plan accordingly.

Mr. President, these are just a few examples of how my State will be affected. We need to move to a balanced budget. And we need to do it in a way that does not sacrifice the long-term goals of the American people to achieve illusory short-term cuts. We need a budget that restores fiscal discipline to the Federal Government. We need a budget based on the realities facing Americans. Most importantly, we need a budget for our future.

The continuing resolution being considered will severely undermine the Nation's support for the International Family Planning Program. According to the terms of the CR, the International Family Planning Program will receive funding at only 65 percent of its fiscal year 1995 level. Also, program administrators will be forced to spend money in predetermined monthly allotments. Let's not pretend that any program can work efficiently and effectively in this manner.

International family planning is also good international health care policy. By providing a wide range of services and information, family planning makes a difference to millions of women around the world. It is estimated that approximately 300 million women will require family planning services in the next decade. It is estimated that such services can prevent 125,000 women from dying of complications related to pregnancy and childbirth. We know that these programs have reduced infant mortality. Inevitably, disease, unintended pregnancies, abortions, and maternal deaths will increase if this restrictive language continues to apply.

Under this bill, California's elementary and secondary schools could lose at least $169.8 million. For title I, programs for disadvantaged students, service to 1 in 5 students could be eliminated. Schools will have to lay off title I teachers and teaching assistants that provide those extra services that help these students learn. Programs like Safe and Drug-free Schools, Goals 2000, and student loans could lose 25 percent. The University of California will lose $111 million, much of which is student aid.

I am also concerned about the stop-and-go pattern of Federal funding that we have undergone this year. This is the ninth short-term bill we've considered. We are almost 4 months into the school year and 3 months into the fiscal year. Once again, we are called on to vote on a short-term funding measure. This bill only funds programs for 49 days, until March 15.

These short-term bills are particularly unfair to our schools. Like businesses, they have to plan. In my State, at the end of January, courtesy notices go out to teachers who are likely to be laid off. School districts are beginning to plan their budgets for the next school year. For title I programs, schools are preparing contracts for teachers and other personnel. Our school districts cannot effectively plan with this on-again, off-again funding stream.

Our students, teachers, and administrators should not be held hostage any longer. I urge my colleagues to join me in voting to restore these education funds and put education funding on a more stable footing.

Mr. President, I think it is outrageous that, of all things to choose, this latest temporary spending bill cuts spending for the 100,000 Cops on the Beat Program under the 1994 crime law. I want to make clear that the only reason I'm voting for this continuing resolution is because it is a compromise and would allow States and localities to continue hiring cops for the next 49 days. The alternative is no cops.

But this is a terrible way to implement public policy. This continuing resolution would, if extended over a full year, cut the Cops on the Beat Program by over one-half -- over $1 billion promised to the American people for cops on the street. That means that communities across the Nation would lose over 13,000 police officers. That is totally unacceptable.

This continuing resolution funds the Cops Program at 75 percent of the 1995 level for outlays, which was $1.187 billion. Seventy-five percent of that would be $890 million for the year.

In contrast, full funding for the 100,000 Cops Program for 1996 is $1.9 billion. That is what we agreed on in the 1994 crime law. That is what was requested by the President. So this resolution would actually cut over $1 billion from the Cops on the Beat Program -- over one-half -- if it continued for the full year.

Let no one be fooled. This continuing resolution is a back door attempt by Republicans to reverse the gains of the 100,000 Cops Program and the American people will not stand for this the next time around. We all know the Republicans want to change the crime law now at work. They said so in their Contract With America. We all know the Republicans want to eliminate the 100,000 Cops on the Beat Program.

They would rather see the money squandered away in a block grant that funds virtually anything under the sun than to send the money directly to COPS for the one anticrime measure we know works -- community policing. Cops on the Beat.

The Cops on the Beat Program is overwhelmingly supported by the American public as well as every major law enforcement group in the country. I don't know a single responsible police leader, academic expert, or public official who does not agree that putting more police officers on our streets and in our neighborhoods is the best way to fight crime.

Community policing enables police to fight crime on two fronts at once -- they are better positioned to respond and apprehend suspects when crime occurs, but even more importantly, they are also better positioned to keep crime from occurring in the first place.

And as we pass the 1-year mark, it is already clear that the Cops Program is working even beyond expectations. Already, more than 33,000 out of 100,000 cops are funded in every State in the Nation. And because of the way we've set it up -- with a match requirement and spreading out the cost over a period of years -- the money will continue to work, keeping these cops on the beat and preventing crime in our communities far into the future. In a word, the law is working.

Apparently my Republican colleagues in Washington just don't seem to get the message. So let me make this crystal clear. If they think that they will use their new targeted appropriations strategy to kill the Cops on the Beat Program -- to cut $1 billion and thousands of cops -- they are sorely mistaken. I will do everything in my power to prevent the Republicans from further undermining the 100,000 Cops Program.
