I rise today as not only the representative of the 14th Congressional District but someone that loves my State. When I hear the word California, I cannot help but smile. It is a great State and we have done and will continue to do great…

Yesterday afternoon, the California delegation, 52 strong, including our two United States Senators, Republicans and Democrats, met with the Vice President. The subject of the meeting was energy. Californians are reeling from the sticker…

Mr. Speaker, let me say to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern), as blessed as each one of us felt to know Joe Moakley and to have his friendship, I do not think that he had greater love for anyone here than he did for you. We…

Mr. Chairman, this last Saturday in my congressional district in Palo Alto, California, the Board, the Student Advisory Board for California's 14th Congressional District, presented their annual report to the community. This year, the 25…

thanks and congratulations, first, to the two major sponsors of this bill, the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Cardin) and the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Portman). I think the quality of this bill and the amount of support that it enjoys today…

Mr. Speaker, I support estate tax relief, and I think the American people deserve it, and they deserve it now. The substitute is practical. It is immediate, and it is fiscally responsible at $40 billion over 10 years. It includes a $4…

I think this is wrong. Number two: do the American people deserve a tax cut? Sure they do. But we have some old bills to pay and interest on those bills. If all of the tax revenue belongs to all of the American people, so does our national…

I strongly support S. 2311, the Ryan White Care Act Amendments of 2000. Enactment of this legislation will truly make a difference in people's lives. The Ryan White CARE Act, without question, was the most important legislation Congress…

During the hearing that was before our Subcommittee on Health and Environment, which I am a member of, we had very clear testimony from individuals, one of them, the distinguished Health AIDS Director of the State of New York that said…

I have held someone in my arms and watched them die from it. So that is enough experience, I think, for anyone. But what this debate is about is not to say that the gentleman from Oklahoma is an unfair person. We are saying that this…

This is an amendment that is directed at removing from the books an agreement that Smith & Wesson, gun manufacturer in the United States of America, in my view, stepped up to home plate and struck an agreement, struck an agreement. Now…

today our Nation, and I believe this Congress, stand at the beginning of a new century; and with it comes the new opportunity to export our products to the largest emerging market in the world. America today is enjoying unparalleled…

I think the Congress has an historic opportunity today to pass this superb piece of legislation. I think that when we do, that it will be placed right next to the import of the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act in terms of its effect…

we all got here the same way, we campaigned. During the campaigns we waged there were all kinds of political buttons, there were yard signs, there were balloons. Some people had hair combs with their names on, nail files. Of course, there…

I rise this evening with all of my colleagues that have come to the floor, members of the Armenian Caucus here in the House of Representatives, on the occasion of the anniversary of the 1915 Armenian genocide to remember the 1 rac{1}{2}…

Today the House is taking an important step to bring our Nation's laws in line with the explosive growth of E-commerce. In 1997 my office was the first to establish a virtual district office in the Congress. I quickly realized my…

Yesterday the Research and Development tax credit in our Nation expired. H.R. 835, a bipartisan bill supported by over 150 of our colleagues, would make this Research and Development tax credit permanent. Mr. Speaker, because the tax…

My main reason and what brings me to the floor today in opposition is for the reason of privacy, privacy, privacy, privacy. If there is anything that runs through the veins of the American people, it does not matter what party they belong…

We are here as representatives for the American people. So my message to the American people, whomever is tuned in, is what is it that we are debating? What is it that we are fighting and arguing about which is so important in this bill…

I am once again rising to honor the anniversary of the 1915 Armenian Genocide to remember the 1.5 million Armenian men, women, and children who were killed, and the additional 500,000 Armenians who were forcibly deported by the Ottoman…

I rise in support of H.R. 396 which names the federal building in Oakland, CA, after Ron Dellums, our distinguished former colleague and dear friend. By designating the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building we honor a colleague who provided…

today, December 19, 1998, is a day of infamy in the House of Representatives. I believe history will record that on this day, the House of the People, through searing partisanship, disallowed the right of each Member to express his or her…

I rise today in the hope that the gentleman, the distinguished subcommittee chairman, will not insist on his point of order and also, of course, in support of the Pelosi amendment to add the $14.5 billion to the foreign ops appropriations…

We can do it, Republicans and Democrats. Yield and do not succumb, my colleagues, to these things that are being thrown in as excuses, because that is what they are. Let us come through the 105th Congress the last few days that we have…

I want to commend all of the sponsors of the Meehan-Shays legislation for the work that they have done, the source of encouragement that each one, especially the original sponsors of the bill, has been to all of us that have yearned for…
