U.S. State Attorneys General

By not providing for that tax credit for employers that try to provide education to some of their employees, what we are doing is saying if an employer has decided that it would be good for that employee to get further trained, that no…

We are talking about higher education here. Graduate education, which is postsecondary education at the highest level, where we have our chemists, our scientists, our teachers coming out of our schools, that is extremely important as well…

The tax that is being imposed on students who earn, say, $10,000 or $12,000 is not going to help provide other opportunities for other people going to college, it is there to help pay for the cost of these tax breaks that mostly well-to-do…

It is my understanding, and it has been a while since I was in college as a graduate student as well, that these graduate students, we are talking not about so much the business school and law school and medical school graduates, but the…

I see one of the gentlewoman's colleagues is also interested and I will recognize the gentlewoman from Michigan [Ms. Kilpatrick] in a second. If I can just mention this child tax credit we have been talking about all day, 73 million…

Sixty million children under the Democratic alternative will qualify for the child tax credit. Under the Republican plan, 39 million. Twenty-one million children in America will not qualify under the Republican plan that will under the…

Reclaiming my time, they are taxing graduate students and they are collecting $430 million in taxes as a result of doing that, and at the same time they are giving corporations a tax windfall and not asking them to pay any taxes. Does that…

I know it is not fair to Robin. I am fortunate, I got myself a good education, I am making a decent salary. She is working just as hard as any one of us, and there is no reason why she should not be able to take advantage of that.

More than half of the kids, from what we have been able to determine, in this tax bill, they will not have an opportunity to take advantage of this child tax credit, even though they work full time.

Listening to all of this, for those of us in a place like Los Angeles, a State as big as California is, to know that more than half of the children in California will not get a child tax credit through this bill.

This appeared this morning, and is a story about seven people slain in violence in the last 36 hours in Washington, DC, four or more wounded in just that same 36-hour period. And I would point out that this is a city that has the tightest…

My colleagues, we have heard the fundamental problem with the Smith amendment. It is not simply Mexico City. It terminates all United States contribution to all family planning around the world, in Africa, in Latin America, in Indonesia…

Mr. Chairman, I address to the gentleman from New Jersey [Mr. Smith], one simple question. Under the gentleman's amendment, if the U.N. spends one dime to advise one person in China about contraception, would not all United States…

There were two points I would like the gentleman to give a very candid, honest answer to. First of all, is it the gentleman's understanding that the President's veto threat applies to Herger-Pombo even as amended by Campbell.

I intentionally said prevent substantial risk, which would be to say that you would have to bring the probability of it happening from a high number down to a low number.

I would say in response, not quite. The phrase is ``necessary to protect human life or to prevent the substantial risk,'' just if I could answer, taking my time back to answer your question fully, ``or to prevent the substantial risk of…

I remind my good friend from California, as to all of those, the language I just announced would apply, that in answer to the gentleman's question earlier, the limitation 'where necessary to protect human life' or the limitation 'where…

The purpose here is that whatever project it is that will be necessary to prevent--not just be helpful but be necessary to protect human life or to prevent substantial risk of serious injury--I wish to cover; and if that is more than a…

Again, I say to my colleagues, this has nothing to do with publication; it has to do with an exemption never before existing in American patent law. It says, I am quoting from the bill, title III: ``except that the defense shall also…

Under existing patent law, the prior domestic user has to pay royalties to the person who gets the patent. This bill says that prior domestic user who might have kept it secret can expand to his heart's content. My amendment says, no…

Under the Rohrabacher amendment, you must publish, there is no 5-year delay if you are a gamester, if you are a submariner as determined and applied for a continuation. No 5-year delay.

Would the gentlewoman find it shocking if a group of lawyers in finding a bill beneficial saw some opportunity for enhanced--call upon their own services. That is all.

As to the lawyers' associations which support H.R. 400, could one not interpret that that is a natural response to the fact that the bill will create much more opportunity for their employment?

I do just wish to clarify that whereas the CRS said that both Chairman Coble and Congressman Rohrabacher's bill reflected in fixing the submarine patent, the additional sources the gentlewoman cited did not speak to that issue.
