Good point. So coffee at Starbucks is $1.27, coffee at the White House is $50,000.

No doubt shortly after the statute of limitations. Just, again, reclaiming the time the gentleman has yielded to me graciously, Al Gore, in his perusal of the statutes, could not find a controlling legal authority. My staff found yet…

We could do that and let the American people call in and tell us what they really think. To continue the theme of mentioning a few controlling authorities that the Vice President did not happen to notice.

Boston College. There could be that other remote possibility, that when it says on a staff note written in the White House, written by David Strauss, ``BC made 15 to 20 calls and raised $500,000,'' there is at least a slim chance, I would…

Lesson No. 7, ``Never put it in writing.'' This one Al Gore should have learned. Obviously, he does not have friends. Lesson No. 8, ``Friends don't let friends call from work.'' And one that touched on the point the gentleman went into at…

Leak it as soon as you know it, so that before the hearing you can call it old news. That one we watched play out last week, where it was very important in the Committee on House Oversight that we make all depositions instantaneously…

We are trying to bring some light to this discussion and maybe some humor here, maybe we should do a national call-in, where we put up a 1-800 number and ask the American people how many people think BC in that note refers to Bill Cosby or…

I doubt if that is Hillary Rodham Clinton. I am certain it is just someone else who happens to have similar initials.

I notice we are now debating on the set-aside the whole issue of campaign finance reform, and there is this hue and cry that we really ought to be revising our campaign laws because, clearly, this episode demonstrates that we need to…

We are trying to help out the economy. Helps the trade deficit and the labor movement. Lesson No. 6, ``Sprint has the best rate for international calls.''

We did discover a rather tongue-in-cheek memo from the White House, actually probably not crafted in the White House because I doubt they would let this memo out, but it says ``Clinton White House Lessons Learned in the Campaign of 1996.''…

I wanted to take a moment, both of my colleagues are on the Committee on Education, to raise a separate issue that was raised at the end of the last hour... I have a 15-year-old and an 11-year-old at home. Nothing is more important to me…

Reclaiming my time, top down is just dead wrong. I want to rebut one other argument in support of national testing, and that is, the proponents of this idea said, well, States can opt out, and Lynne Cheney, in writing this article which I…

What the amendment says is that the funds appropriated under this bill shall not be used to enter into or pay for either a contract or salary to a person or an entity which is the subject of a criminal, civil, or administrative proceeding…

I believe the compromise that has been struck is indeed a very good one; and I compliment the ranking member and the chairman of the subcommittee and all who have been involved in it. At least insofar as I understand the agreement which…

it seems to me that we can improve the climate on job sites across America by this kind of measure. My brother is in the construction business in Tucson, AZ. He builds homes. And he, rather than having a working relationship with OSHA…

as a parent there is no issue, absolutely no issue more important to me than the education of my children. For us as a Congress there ought to be no issue more important than education, and that issue is critically important to the…

I want to compliment the members of the committee and the subcommittee. At two separate points in this legislation, the bill sets what I think are important standards for the expenditure of the moneys being appropriated. I think it is…

what I think this amendment shows is that we believe there is not a proper balance. We believe there ought to be more incentives.

I do not believe that those businesses across America respond to worker safety challenges just because they are afraid of OSHA. Indeed, I believe employers across America genuinely care about safe working conditions for their employees…

I think this amendment strikes the right balance. I said, in discussing a similar OSHA amendment last evening, that as a young man I worked on a construction site and I was dependent upon the people who managed that site for my safety. If…

let me just recite briefly, also since my election in 1994, parents from schools throughout my congressional district have come to visit me. They have visited me about the issue of special education; both the parents of children who have…

I am not even against all Federal involvement in education. What I am against is us telling schools how they have to reform. We have public schools in Arizona, and they are a tremendous success.

Let me just make this point clear. I do not want the money to be raised at the States, sent to Washington and given back with no controls. I want the money to stay in the States, because my parents want that. They believe they can spend it…

I am not objecting to giving them the money, I support giving the money, but I do not support adding the strings which say, ``You'll get the money only if you do whole school reform, i.e. Washington decides.''
