If we repeal the gas tax and get that signed into law, we are going to save low- and middle-income families almost $70 a year. If we take a nationwide average, that is $48 in everyone's pocket by savings on what they are putting in the…

The fact that government is growing and taking more and more and with such increases, such as we saw in 1993 with the gas tax, and the other increases for many other programs here in Washington, DC. This place represents Washington values…

If the gentleman will yield, George Stephanopoulos was in Santa Barbara this last weekend. He admitted that he really does not fully understand this situation because he only lives a few blocks from the office, the White House. Those that…

I decided to bring a picture of my mom because I sometimes think that people think that we on this side of the aisle were hatched. We have moms. We have dads. We have grandparents. We have children. And we are concerned. I just grabbed my…

I would like to point out, the Santa Barbara News Press did not endorse my candidacy for Congress. The point is that new government data, this is February 5, 1996, New York Times, it says, new government data show Medicare's hospital…

I guess this is just proof that the Members from the other side of the aisle have been in control of this House for 40 years, and we are now suffering the consequences of those 40 years with a $5 trillion debt. I guess it is just telling…

I see that the freshman congressional class is a breath of fresh air. I praise you and your fellow congressional Republicans for tackling head on many of the important issues of today. He said: I am a blue collar union member. Many in our…

Well, I would also say that we came here to do away with unfunded Federal mandates, and if there was anything that was a mandate, it is to increase the minimum wage, and it is just artificial. I say, why not raise it to $10 or $25? Why…

I would just say I am one of those freshmen that came here to Washington, DC, to take care of the bureaucrats here in this city and to make sure that the people on the central coast of California got what they wanted for their tax dollar…

The Justice Department spent over 800,000 man- hours just on Superfund litigation between 1990 and 1992. That is a lot of hours.

If you look at these ads, negative ads, there is no hope. Everything is negative, negative, negative in the attack I am taking. Bad balanced budget, bad welfare reform, bad tax relief, bad this and that. There is no hope in these ads. And…

Last, is it the intention of this authorization to allow those States developing legitimate commercial spaceports to compete for these funds via a bidding process through NASA?

Is it also the intention that the purpose of this authorization is to encourage commercialization of space launches, which will lead NASA and private high technology industries to rely on a more affordable and efficient private sector to…
