Well, thank you, Mr. Chairman and Senator Boxer.

Mr. President, today is the 37th anniversary of a double tragedy for our Nation. On January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court of the United States twisted the Constitution to create a right to kill babies before they are born. Since then, nearly…

I rise to slowly yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, Republicans have no objections to H.R. 725, and indeed, we support appropriate law enforcement efforts to stop illegal counterfeiting of Indian arts and crafts…

Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX and the Chair's prior announcement, further proceedings on this motion will be postponed…

In closing, whether this cattle ranch becomes part of our national inventory or not may indeed be a good idea. But one of the things I think we are saying right now is the scope these processes have to go through--and the process does…

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. We have concerns with H.R. 3726. As of today, the National Park Service has yet to complete the congressionally authorized study of this proposal. In fact, the agency has asked that…

I appreciate you yielding again on this. Let me just say that there are several concepts that we have talked about here. One, does it meet the threshold of the commerce clause according to the courts? I do not think it does. You have also…

That news, if I can get the time from the gentleman from New Jersey, is as amazing as the potential harm that this bill could do to all Americans that are there. We've spoken many times on the floor about the concept of the general welfare…

I thank the gentleman from New Jersey for this. You know, we are talking about a potential health care bill which, whether it is the Senate or House version, is an enormous expansion of the government. Not only is it an enormous expansion…

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. This bill, as introduced by Mr. Simpson of Idaho, would require the Forest Service to issue special use permits to owners of small, existing water systems in two Idaho wilderness…

Sadly, neither do I. So at this time, I will simply go forward and say that we still support it. We still think this bill could have been done better. We are still very curious on why the Senate bill was not being pushed forward, but we…

Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the very complete and thorough analysis that the gentlelady from Guam did on this particular bill. It was well done. I will ask at this time if the gentlelady from Guam has any more speakers for this particular…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. This particular bill has been well explained by the distinguished gentlelady from Guam. Up front, I would like to say that I have basically favored this bill introduced by the distinguished…

I don't believe for a minute that the people are going to say let's go back to a system where we have 500,000 or 600,000 people without insurance. That's the wrong direction.

Chicago-style backroom buy-offs, at the expense of the American taxpayers.

Chicago-style, back room buyouts at the expense of the American taxpayers.

I'm very concerned about this abusive short selling approach.

Mr. Chairman, I want to thank you for your energetic leadership in this area. I want to thank the three of you for the work that you do.
