I declared a major disaster in the State of Ohio.

Every major law enforcement organization in America fought hard for the crime bill, and so did I, because it puts Government firmly on the side of the people who abide by the law, not the criminals who break it.

The House is urged to restore funding for this important initiative.

I think Washington has suffered grievously from losing that connection, losing that touch with the people who sent us here.

Today I am declaring that a major disaster exists in California.

Jobs and incomes need to be increased while shrinking Government bureaucracy.

The key on this is not to reduce Social Security benefits.

I am doing everything in my power to crack down on child support enforcement.

I hereby extend for an additional 2 years both the moratorium imposed by that section and all actions taken by my predecessors under that section.

Our welfare reform plan included the toughest child support measures ever proposed.

Section 102 would unduly delay the regulatory process and overwhelm the Chief Counsel.

I don't believe we need to change the Constitution to overcome the 12 years before I got here and the mistakes that were made.

I just think that we should have a bipartisan determination to keep bringing that rascal down without amending the Constitution.

I'm willing to work to do more, to cut more of the deficit, but we need a partnership here.

H.R. 1022, however, is an extreme measure that would exacerbate some of the very problems with the regulatory system that it seeks to address.

We never could have done what needed to be done for the American people had it not been for the Red Cross.

If enacted, H.R. 1022 would increase costs for both the Government and the private sector and would impair the protection of human health, safety, and the environment.

H.R. 450 would impose a moratorium that would stop rules from being issued regardless of their merit.
