 Capitol Letter (The Nation, August 2, 1986)
According to his annual financial disclosure forms, U.S. Republican Senator Steven Symms has frequently taken positions on silver futures in the commodity market, then introduced legislation designed to bolster silver prices, and, after prices have duly risen, sold his futures for a handsome profit.

 Case Law:  Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council
Justice STEVENS criticizes the "deprivation of all economically beneficial use" rule as "wholly arbitrary," in that "[the] landowner whose property is diminished in value 95% recovers nothing," while the landowner who suffers a complete elimination of value "recovers the land's full value." Post, at 2919.
Justice STEVENS similarly misinterprets our focus on "developmental" uses of property (the uses proscribed by the Beachfront Management Act) as betraying an "assumption that the only uses of property cognizable under the Constitution are developmental uses." Post, at 2919, n.
There may be some validity to the principle Justice STEVENS proposes, but it does not properly apply to the present case.

 TIME.com: A Rowdy Campaign of Personalities -- Oct. 20, 1980 -- Page 1
Amid Idaho's piny woods and parched plains, where voters peer skeptically out from under their cowboy hats and pop questions like gunshots, the candidates are waging one of the rowdiest, most name-calling campaigns in the nation.
While many candidates elsewhere are diving for the middle, where they think the votes are, Church, 56, and Symms, 42, stand sharply apart on the spectrum.
Says Symms' campaign manager Philip Reberger: "Church on the issues is the issue." Symms keeps pounding away at the incumbent's support of the Panama Canal treaties, SALT II and deficit spending for social programs.

 Remarks at a Campaign Rally for Senator Steven D
And you know, I really was born too soon, because when I was playing football the cheerleaders were all boys.
Now, you probably know I couldn't do this much traveling when Congress was in session, as Steve Symms will tell you.
And the contrast between us and the leaders of the other party, as I say, well, sum it up: Since I began appointing Federal judges to be approved by people like Steve Symms in the Republican Senate, the Federal judiciary has become tougher, much tougher, on criminals.

 3-Sen. team proposes trade be expanded - William Roth, John Chafee and Steven Symms American Metal Market - Find ...
In a proposed new version of the Trade Expansion Act, they reject expected moves to "turn the Congress into a court of appeals in trade cases" or to require product by product reciprocity in trade negotiations with other countries.
Teaming up for the legislation were Sen. William Roth (R. Del.), chairman of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, Sen. John Chafee (R., R.I.), of the Senate Finance Committee, and Sen. Steven Symms (R., Ida.).
Along with calling for a new round of barriers-down trade negotiations, they would establish a new program for retraining workers to facilitate adjustment to import competition; help industry adjust to such competition by providing a measure of import relief; and strengthen enforcement of domestic trade laws without resulting in "procedural protectionism."

 Lobby Activities: For Arabs and For Israel
To help fill the gap, AFSI is preparing to open a new office in Washington, in addition to its headquarters in New York, with the apparent goal of becoming a new, conservative pro-Israel lobby.
AFSI director Peter E. Goldman said in a statement that discussions he has held with conservative congressmen, including Senators Jesse Helms (R-NC) and Steven Symms (R-ID), showed him that needed information was not being provided by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the dominant pro-Israel lobby.
Goldman said that many Senate aides told him that "the information and viewpoints they were hearing from us were new and refreshing" and that there were complaints AIPAC "favored Democrats over conservative Republicans, and that there was great need for a new source of information on Israel for conservatives on the Hill."
