Asa Hutchinson

I do not believe we are lowering the bar. In fact, I have no problem in setting a standard for future presidents in official court proceedings that would jeopardize their office for repeated intentional acts of perjury. That is what we are…

I have been taking notes on my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, and I would just ask them to talk about the facts in the articles, four. We would love them to talk about those. If anyone disputes the allegations of perjury…

Mr. Speaker, this is not easy. In fact, it is difficult, it is unpleasant, and we would all just as soon the responsibility go aside. As our Founding Fathers warned, this is an issue that divides us and stirs the passions of the great…

I wanted to address a couple things that have been raised, first of all that the charges in this case are not specific enough. The charges are specific. They are detailed. And more importantly, the specific charges are the same as has been…

Mr. Speaker, H.R. 3494, the Child Protection and Sexual Predator Punishment Act of 1998, is a very important piece of legislation that responds to the horrifying threat of sex crimes against children, particularly crimes against children…

Forty-one years ago, nine youths walked through the doors of Little Rock Central High School and forever changed American culture. The Little Rock Nine as they are known today forced this Nation to examine its soul and decide whether ours…

this amendment amends the McCain first-degree underlying amendment to allow the commission to establish by the Internet Tax Freedom Act a study of the effects of taxation on interstate sales, or the lack thereof on retail businesses and…

In Arkansas, we do not have major league baseball in the State, but we have minor league baseball and we have a great baseball tradition. This bill that is before us has been agreed to by the players and the owners, but, more importantly…

I just want to make a few closing observations of my perspective on this second-degree amendment and clarify a few things that I think are not representative at all of what this second-degree amendment does. May I just say also, being the…

In my office in the Dirksen Building I have a hanging portrait of the 5-&-10-cent store where Sam Walton started the Wal-Mart stores. There is nothing in this amendment that is antientrepreneur. The fact is that Wal-Mart, with their huge…

I rise in support of tax relief for the American people and in support of the House-passed legislation that will provide taxpayer relief today. Tax collections, it is estimated, will exceed over $8 trillion in the next 5 years. An $80…

I rise in support of the ban on the partial-birth abortion procedure and in support of the vote to override the President's veto. It is inexplicable to me why that veto occurred, and I think it is unfortunate and tragic. We have an…

it is a little frustrating for me because there could be nothing more unambiguous than the language in this bill. As often as somebody wants to get up and yell and scream and have a tirade about this being disruptive of workers' and union…

I rise to speak on the S. 1981 legislation. This legislation will enable thousands of businesses in Arkansas and across the Nation to avoid the insidious and unscrupulous practice known as salting which is literally crippling thousands of…

T&B Metal Works, Inc. has been in business for 10 years and is a sheet metal company which fabricates and installs duct work in commercial buildings. Presently, it is unlawful for a business to refuse to hire a job applicant because he is…

sometimes when I hear debate on the floor of the Senate, I wonder what bill we are debating or whether the bill being spoken of is actually reflected in the specific provisions. I remind my colleagues once again that this bill does not…

My company, Manno Electric, Inc., became a target for salting in July 1992. We are a small firm, founded in 1972, and based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Our business has been family-owned and operated for the past 24 years and now has annual…

Then I have before me an editorial that appeared in the Anchorage Times on December 17, 1996. You will notice that most of the correspondence and editorials that have been written have occurred within the last 2, 3 years, because it is…

while the clock is burning, I think it is an appropriate time for me to take a few moments here and relate and include in the Record some of the correspondence I have been privy to concerning what small businesses are facing under the…

while I continue to have the floor, I just want to point to this chart, which is an editorial that I think very well frames the issue that confronts the Senate today in this cloture motion. It is entitled ``Harassing Job Providers.'' It…

If you will look at the language in the bill, clearly the primary purpose is to go in to further the goals of an organization or agency. If we go to apply for a job--I ask for the Senator's opinion of this-- it is my understanding that if…

This legislation does not overturn that Supreme Court decision, as I know. That court decision involved the issue of whether you could be a paid union employee and be a bona fide employee for another company, and you can't. This doesn't…

we likewise have scores of letters that have been submitted for the Record--small companies that are being destroyed by the terrible practice of salts. We have literally tens of thousands of names that have come in on petitions saying…

Once again, we get this impression that has been presented this morning that somehow these are legitimate organizing efforts. Yet, I have read quotation after quotation from the IBEW and other unions' own organizing manuals that make it…

this resolution begins a journey in which the path will be treacherous and the conclusion is uncertain. The journey should be guided by the Constitution, the law, and our conscience. This resolution is a step in the right direction on that…
