It took 7 years to pass the Brady bill... it's already beginning to save lives.

We can thank the leadership of Speaker Tom Foley who, true to his word, put this legislation on the front burner.

This legislation is needed immediately in order for the Executive branch to reduce, reshape, and retool its workforce.

We want to make sure we get the crime bill right.

I hope that it won't be passed because if it is passed, it runs the risk of endangering our economic recovery.

We're going to keep working on these things; we're going to try to pass this crime bill, including the assault weapons ban in it.

It's appropriate that we're having this discussion today because today the Brady bill becomes law.

It will help stop young criminals from being better armed than the police by banning assault weapons.

With the crime bill, we'll get the police.

This law will give us the tools we need to safeguard children from those who have perpetrated crimes of child abuse.

This legislation, the National Child Protection Act, is especially significant.

I have signed into law S. 422, the 'Government Securities Act Amendments of 1993.'

Let's pass the crime bill as soon as you return.

We ought to pass the crime bill.

It is in the national interest of the United States to make available funds appropriated under the Act without regard to the restriction contained in section 560(g) of the Act.

I congratulate and thank the many Members of the House and Senate in both parties who worked so diligently to pass this legislation.

This Congress passed the Family and Medical Leave Act.

This legislation will provide the unemployed and their families with important assistance by extending eligibility for the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program.
