S7656 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD— SENATE June 5, 1995 

as it was 50 years ago, and because I do 

not want to risk condemning our children and grandchildren to a less prosperous and less healthy and less secure 

future, I intend to continue fighting for 

Federal research investments even as 

we continue working toward a budget 

resolution. 

I hope we can restore the bipartisan 

support for these programs that was 

there until very recently, and I hope 

we can do so before serious damage is 

done to the programs. I am afraid this 

is going to take not just months but 

perhaps even years. 

Mr. President, I appreciate the 

chance to speak. I yield the floor, and 

I suggest the absence of a quorum. 

The PRESIDING OFFICER. The 

clerk will call the roll. 

The bill clerk proceeded to call the 

roll. 

Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the 

quorum call be rescinded. 

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without 

objection, it is so ordered.

TRIBUTE TO THE LATE JAMES C. 

SELF 

Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, this 

month in Greenwood, SC, a terrible, 

sudden loss has been suffered by the entire community. On May 4, James C. 

‘‘Jim’’ Self—successful businessman, 

committed public servant, concerned 

community leader, and dedicated family man—was tragically killed in a 

traffic accident which no one could 

have anticipated. 

Respected for his position as chairman of the board of Greenwood Mills 

Inc., Mr. Self was born and raised in 

Greenwood and went on to earn a bachelor of arts degree from Clemson University and a masters of business administration from the University of 

South Carolina. Throughout his life, 

Mr. Self established a well deserved 

reputation as a civic leader whose activities included service on the Greenwood board of Bankers Trust, the State 

board of NCNB, and the boards of Benedict College, Junior Achievement, and 

the Greenwood YMCA. In addition, Mr. 

Self served on the Governor’s Review 

Board under John West, for which he 

was awarded the South Carolina Order 

of the Palmetto. He was also a member 

of the First Baptist Church of Greenwood. 

Let us make certain that we remember with respect and admiration the 

substantial contributions this outstanding citizen made to his family, his 

community, and the State of South 

Carolina. 

Mr. President, I know I speak for all 

those who knew Jim Self when I say 

that he will be missed greatly. My 

deepest sympathies go out to his wife—

Linda Coleman Self—and children—

Linda Elizabeth Self, James C. Self III, 

and Furman Coleman Self—and the entire Self family, including his distinguished father—Mr. James C. Self—for 

the tremendous loss they have suffered. 

TRIBUTE TO FORMER SENATOR 

MARGARET CHASE SMITH 

Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, during my tenure as a Member of this distinguished body, I have had the pleasure of serving with many individuals of 

impressive character and ability. Few, 

however, possessed the unwavering 

commitment to principle and public 

service demonstrated by Senator Margaret Chase Smith, who passed away 

this week at her home in Skowhegan. I 

would like to offer her family and 

friends my deepest condolences for 

their loss, a loss suffered by our entire 

Nation. 

After an accomplished career of 8 

years in the House of Representatives, 

Mrs. Smith was first elected to the 

Senate in 1948 and served four consecutive terms. A political leader of national stature, her substantial talents 

earned her a prominent role in Republican Presidential contests. 

Mrs. Smith brought grace and wisdom to this Chamber as a dedicated 

representative of the people. An intrepid spirit characterized her work as 

a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, on which I had the 

pleasure of serving with her. At all 

times, the safety and prosperity of the 

Nation were her sole objectives, and 

she worked to ensure that the United 

States was always prepared to defend 

liberty against any enemy. 

When our Nation was gripped in turmoil, Mrs. Smith was quick to supply 

raging debates with needed perspective 

and calming insights. She personified 

the very best qualities that define the 

American character and applied those 

commendable attributes to all of her 

work as a Member of this institution. 

Mr. President, I am confident I speak 

for all of us who knew Margaret Chase 

Smith when I say that she will be 

greatly missed. Her legacy is a standard of public service toward which 

every Member of the U.S. Senate 

should strive, and my sympathies go 

out to all those touched by her warmth 

and intelligence.

TRIBUTE TO THE LATE JAMES 

BOYD ‘‘JIM’’ KLUTTZ 

Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, 

James Boyd ‘‘Jim’’ Kluttz passed away 

last month at his home in Laurens, SC, 

and I would like to offer his family and 

many friends my deepest condolences 

for their heavy loss. 

A dedicated reporter, Mr. Kluttz 

served as editor emeritus of the 

Laurens County Advertiser following 

his retirement from the paper in 1981. 

His tenure with the paper began in 1966, 

and Mr. Kluttz photographed and reported upon the people and places of 

Laurens County for the next 15 years. 

His colleagues described his love and 

commitment to the people of Laurens 

as follows: ‘‘(Mr. Kluttz’) was the kind 

of journalism that reflects the heart 

and soul of a community and all that is 

good in it * * * and, in many ways, he 

was the soul and conscience of our 

community.’’ Clearly, Mr. Kluttz practiced the kind of journalism that, unfortunately, is now all too rare. 

Mr. President, I know I speak for all 

those who knew Jim Kluttz when I say 

that he will be missed greatly. My 

heartfelt condolences go out to his 

wife, Alma Wyatt Kluttz, his two sons, 

James Thomas Kluttz and John Boyd 

Kluttz, his daughter, Laura Anne K. 

Smith, and their families for the loss 

they have suffered.

WAS CONGRESS IRRESPONSIBLE? 

THE VOTERS HAVE SAID YES! 

Mr. HELMS. Mr. President, more 

than 3 years ago, I began daily reports 

to the Senate to make a matter of 

record the exact Federal debt as of 

close of business the previous day. 

As of the close of business Friday, 

June 2, the exact Federal debt stood at 

$4,902,882,032,835.06, meaning that on a 

per capita basis, every man, woman, 

and child in America owes $18,611.42 as 

his or her share of the Federal debt. 

It is important to note, Mr. President, that the Senate had an opportunity to implement a balanced budget 

amendment to the Constitution. The 

Senate failed by one-vote in its first 

opportunity to bring the Federal debt 

under control. 

There will be another opportunity in 

the months ahead. 

Mr. DOLE. What is the pending business? 

f 

CONCLUSION OF MORNING 

BUSINESS 

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Morning 

business is now closed. 

f 

COMPREHENSIVE TERRORISM 

PREVENTION ACT 

The PRESIDING OFFICER. The 

clerk will report the pending business. 

The bill clerk read as follows: 

A bill (S. 735) to prevent and punish acts of 

terrorism, and for other purposes. 

The Senate resumed consideration of 

the bill. 

Pending: 

Hatch Amendment No. 1199, in the nature 

of a substitute. 

AMENDMENT NO. 1199

Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, let me say 

to my colleagues that we hope to complete action on this bill very quickly, 

and I am asking my colleagues on each 

side—I think there are 67 amendments 

on the Democratic side, 30-some on the 

Republican side—to see if we cannot 

limit the number of amendments. We 

will also file cloture today and try to 

get consent to vote on that cloture motion tomorrow in an effort to expedite 

this bill. 

Immediately after the tragic events 

in Oklahoma City, I wrote to President 

Clinton expressing my hope that we 

could put aside partisanship and develop an antiterrorism plan all Americans could support. Just as partisan
