I would say that each of these cases so far that the gentleman has raised substantiate what I am suggesting. Yes, the two Secret Service agents, and I am very aware of that because the subcommittee funds both the White House and the Secret…

in this case there is a specific fund that is set aside when there are legal fees for this. But never have I experienced a judge that has written such a scathing remark.

with a heavy heart but a clear conscience, I will vote today to authorize the House Judiciary Committee to proceed with a formal inquiry that could lead to the impeachment of President Clinton

it is with a heavy heart but a clear conscience that I will vote for Articles of Impeachment against President William Jefferson Clinton

This fulfills a commitment that this body made several years ago when we created the Udall Foundation, to provide for them an authorization for them to do mediation on environmental disputes between Federal agencies and other Federal…

As she well knows, at the other end of the technology sale, you might say, is agriculture, that we have a very technologically innovative agricultural industry. At the other end is agriculture. We are, again, the largest exporter of…

And more dried milk if you are a dairy State. That is exactly right. So whether it is high technology at one end or whether it is agriculture at the other end, those talks are very vital to us. And then finally, in the year 2000…

Here we go here with WTO, the procurement negotiations. We are talking about government buying goods, whether it is some countries are not completely privatized, they have state-owned aircraft industries, or, of course, we are talking…

I think my colleague has given an excellent example of exactly how fast track works when she is talking about countries and how it relates to the same kind of thing with families. The bottom line in a government setting is that no one…

tonight I come here to this House, along with my colleague, the gentlewoman from Connecticut, to talk about an issue that we believe is so critical to the future of this country; that is, trade. In the end, though, trade is not really…

I think the gentlelady's comments are right on target, and I think they summarize exactly why America needs to have fast track authority, why the President of the United States needs fast track authority, why we need to be able to pursue…

The bottom line is we add all these up and we have a cumulative effect of nearly $5 trillion, just in these areas of negotiations. These are not just fantasy. These are not wannabes, these are not maybes. These are things that are…

So they were paying a tenth as much in Mexico. They moved the production back to Connecticut. The answer is because of the productivity that they have.

I think that the gentlewoman has suggested something that I think is indicative of the problem that we face in trying to make this appeal on trade and make the sale. I am sometimes puzzled as to why it is so difficult for us to make this…

American business is not afraid to compete. We are able to compete. We want to compete. They want to get out there and compete. It strikes me as very curious that some of our colleagues here in Congress seem to be a lot more fearful of…

Well, I think the gentlewoman is absolutely right, and I think we do not want to be apocalyptic about that, and certainly the world will go on, and the United States will continue to trade, but we will trade on much more difficult terms…

And more capital investment and more technology. That is, of course, what countries like the United States have. That is the advantage that we have. Let me just tell the gentlewoman my example that I always use is the copper industry in my…

I rise today to take this five minutes to begin what I hope will be a constructive and important debate on the subject of fast track, a debate which I think will certainly rank with among the most important debates that this Congress will…

Although it is $204 million below what the President requested, we have three increases for the IRS. We have $377 million for Y-2K, year 2000 compliance, to make sure that the computers are compliant and that we will be able to process tax…

I am very pleased with what we did here with the IRS. There are three increases that are in here for, as the gentleman from Indiana spoke about. Yes, it is an increase for IRS; $377 million of that increase is for Y-2K, that is the Year…

Let me just clarify a few other things about what is being proposed. The earlier "Dear Colleague" letter that Members received from some of the sponsors, talked about this is dealing with the multilateral agreement on investment. In fact…

I just want to give a little history. The gentleman from Arizona spoke about performance and that we at this time should not receive any kind of a cost-of-living adjustment. I think it is worth the time for Members to understand where we…

Mr. Speaker, let me just cover once again what this bill is and what it is not, what this motion is and what it is not. The Treasury, Postal Service and general government appropriations bill that is before us does not have any provision…

I also accept the amendment. I would like to reserve the option to review the resource requirements that OMB has when this bill proceeds to conference with the Senate. I realize it does not create any new money, but it earmarks money…

I am prepared from the majority side to accept this amendment. I know that the Committee on Ways and Means has expressed some concerns about some of the language, and I would advise the gentleman that I would certainly protect those…
