	S. 326 - Arms Sales Code of Conduct
		To prohibit United States military assistance and arms transfers to foreign governments that are undemocratic, do not adequately protect human rights, are engaged in acts of armed aggression, or are not fully participating in the United Nations Register of Conventional Arms.
		Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1.
		It is the sense of the Congress that the Committee on International Relations of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate should hold hearings on controversial certifications submitted under section 4(a) and all requests for exemptions submitted under section 4(c).

	Proposition One
		President Clinton of the United States was on the mark, we believe, with his opposition to the general notion of military necessity when he praised Belarus for giving up nuclear weapons on their soil.
		The minority of States which engage in torture, arbitrary detention and other forms of gross human rights violations are in the habit of justifying these practices as necessary for their national security, a proposition that has never been accepted by the vast majority of human-rights-respecting States.
		The United Kingdom and the United States have argued that the conclusion of treaties prohibiting the possession, threat or use of nuclear weapons in specific regions suggests that there is therefore no general prohibition against the threat or use of nuclear weapons, and that parties to these regional treaties accept this.

	Whither Federalism?
		Congress repeatedly imposed expansions of Medicaid on the states, and persisted in doing so even after receiving a bipartisan, near-unanimous plea from the governors in the summer of 1989 to observe a moratorium.
		The states are as much "used" as honored in the process, but that they are available for such use testifies to the survival of at least the form federalism takes in the United States.
		Federal and state governments have become so thoroughly interdependent—and so deeply engaged in the game of mutual cost-shifting—that it is very hard to imagine their putting an end to that game and restoring anything remotely approaching the world of separate sovereignties that arguably existed before the New Deal.

		Congress has estimated that Puerto Rico would receive three to four billion dollars per year more from the federal government if benefits were brought up to the same level as the rest of the United States.
		Congress is therefore empowered to require certain levels of cultural and linguistic change in Puerto Rico before admitting it to the Union.
		Congress must also spell out that such conditions cannot be abrogated after statehood without the consent of the United States.

	Chapter One (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Congress did not require the Attorney General to provide a detailed accounting of how DOJ local assistance funds are being spent.
		Congress often requires, for example, that states pass certain state laws as a condition of eligibility for receiving federal funds under certain grant programs.
		While each state is eligible to receive a minimum of 0.25 percent of total appropriations, the balance is allocated on the basis of state population as a proportion of the entire U.S. All Byrne funds must be matched by a 25% commitment of non-federal funds.

	1st United States Congress - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The First United States Congress was a meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government, comprised of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives.
		New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island, were the last states to ratify the U.S. Constitution, and because of their late ratification, were unable to send full representation at the beginning of this Congress.
		In this Congress, all Senators were newly elected, and Class 1 meant their term ended with this Congress, requiring reelection in 1790; Class 2 meant their term ended with the next Congress, requiring reelection in 1792; and Class 3 meant their term lasted through the next two Congresses, requiring reelection in 1794.

	S. 946 Testimony
		The CIO of the United States must ensure that the federal government commits a significant share of its information systems resources to improving the integrity of the infrastructure that supports all government information processing operations.
		If Congress chooses to pass an Act to appoint the CIO of the United States, it should not be remiss in making clear what is expected of the CIO in this regard.
		The Act should state that one of the primary objectives of the Office of the CIO is to ensure that short-term budgetary incentives do not override lasting benefits to the government.
