Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Whitmarsh House in Providence, Rhode Island--a safe haven and support network for Rhode Island youth, adults with developmental disabilities, and families for over 40 years. In recognition of the…

The Internet obviously has changed the world in so many ways, not the least of which is our Nation's sense of use it in the military and how it has affected modern warfare.

cyber space, cyber security is an issue that obviously is growing in importance and presents unique opportunities, but also great challenges to our Nation and our Nation's military.

One of those is, obviously, our fiscal security. Right now, obviously, the Nation is challenged in that we have a weak economy, and we have exceptionally high budget deficits.

We shouldn't let the term 'irregular warfare' confuse us. It is not an obscure challenge understood and practiced by a few specialists; rather it is becoming the norm for our country.

I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I'm proud to join him and my other colleague from Wisconsin tonight to talk about jobs and what we are doing here in this Chamber on that issue. I listen many times to my colleagues from the other…

we lose the opportunity to show people all over the world the power of democracy.

the challenge is that it is not that they come here to study at the great universities...but we actually kick them out.

You advocated here for a federal assisted living Bill of Rights.
