Mr. Speaker, it is a great honor for me to be here today and to manage this resolution that pays tribute to Morris K. Udall, who many of us here knew and remember fondly as 'Mo.' Mo's retirement from the House of Representatives in 1991…

I submit for the Record the following statement detailing why I will be in opposition to the four articles of impeachment

I want to thank you for the 21 years of service you have given this country, and I wish you the best and many years of retirement.

when I first came to this Congress in October of 1991, I was approached about trying to do something with this issue. I have to tell Members since then to today, things have gotten worse for the people not only who are in Germany but also…

I represent the border in Arizona, from Nogales to San Luis, and I have to say that supervisors, mayors, councilmen and average Americans who live on the border are also concerned about the traffic of drugs into this country, and they…

it is a very interesting debate that we are having today. The legislation we are discussing, not the amendment, but the base bill, is probably unconstitutional. All it does is prohibit a Federal official from communicating with a…

There is one woman I would like to especially note. Joan Meacham, from Mesa, AR, served as president of the 75th anniversary of Women's Suffrage Task Force. I am delighted that my State of Arizona, through the fine efforts of Ms. Meacham…

the Hispanic Caucus has been a very active participant throughout the BRAC process. Our concern has been the closure of Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio. We have worked in a bipartisan manner with our colleagues from San Antonio in…
