I thank you very much, and associate myself with your remarks. I think what is really important at this point is that every American understands that the massive influx of illegal immigrants into our country has not been an accident. It…
today I am introducing, and I have just introduced a bill, to amend the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to limit the provisions of the United States military assistance and the sale, transfer or licensing of United States military equipment…
first and foremost, I yield myself a moment here to thank the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Boucher) for the time that he has yielded us and shown good faith with us in having an honest discussion of this very significant issue. Madam…
how much time is still available? The Acting CHAIRMAN. The gentleman has 22\1/2\ minutes remaining.
this has been a fine debate today, and I believe that both sides have handled it very responsibly, but let us take a look at what the real issue is. There is broad agreement on both sides as to the need for reform in the United Nations…
let me just note that what measures that we have been suggesting in the bill, as you have just underscored, are very reasonable, and the fact that we have bipartisan support on the measures demanding accountability suggest that these are…
I rise in thoughtful support for H.J. Res. 27, and I say thoughtful because I believe we should take a good look at what we are doing and what has been proposed and try to figure out what is going to happen in the future, and what are the…
If that is the criteria we are using, why do we not then limit it to one account because the less sophisticated people will not have multiple accounts.
let me reiterate that I do this with great respect to the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Bachus) and the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Oxley) and the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Frank) who put a great deal of time and effort into this bill…
a few days ago a P-3 Orion aircraft, owned by Aero-Union, on contract to the U.S. Forest Service, crashed in California. This crash in and of itself reduced the current Federal fleet of nonmilitary, firefighting planes by 10 percent. It…
on March 23, my office received an extraordinary tip that a stockpile of explosives remained undiscovered by the FBI in the home of Terry Nichols, one of the two men convicted of the mass murder of 168 Americans in the bombing of the…
I am asking my fellow Republicans to please look at what we are about to do. This solution that we are being offered will not work and will leave the American people vulnerable at a time of maximum crisis. This is one of the most important…
If this bill is voted down, we are told to vote this bill down because there is not enough regulation in the bill, regulatory power given to the FAA in the bill to protect the public. Well, there is protection in the bill, and there would…
This part of the bill, actually, the House voted on a bill that did not contain as much safety regulation as this bill does, and no one on that side of the aisle opposed it then. Now, after we have included safety provisions by Mr…
in the legislation, the gentleman asks whether or not someone should be able to sign off, and the legislation clearly states that someone will have to sign off, knowing that, the risk that he is taking. I might also ask, the gentleman just…
my colleagues have been suggesting over and over again that the FAA will be restricted from any regulation unless someone has died, and I believe that is an inaccurate reading of this bill.
Obviously, the gentleman is reading one paragraph, but the very next paragraph negates the criticism of the bill, and that is the very next paragraph underneath the one he is reading suggests that if there is a reason for the FAA to be…
I believe the opposition to this bill is coming from a fundamental misunderstanding of what the bill actually is all about... We want to develop spacecraft that people can ride on. And if we have the bureaucrats being able to control that…
This has been going on for 2 years. This has been a bill that we have worked on, and the people on the Committee on Science and the Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics on both sides of the aisle have struggled with this for 2 years…
I believe that the investor invested $26 million in this project. We have no doubt that, if this project was just a government-funded project, that it probably would have been in the hundreds of millions of dollars. We will be looking at…
Mr. Speaker, there are two kind of frontiers. There are physical frontiers: uncharted land, unseen depths of oceans, unexplored space. And then there are frontiers of imagination: frontiers that require us to think a new way, to have a…
Mr. Speaker, this is a fitting time for me to sort of step down because we had this tremendous success yesterday on Spaceship One. And one of my major goals as chairman of this committee was to make sure that commercial space remained an…
Mr. Speaker, as we move forward in this discussion, I believe that the words of the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Bartlett) and, of course, the words of the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson-Lee) should be taken very seriously when we are…
this morning I have introduced a constitutional amendment that will provide the American people with a wider range of presidential candidates. My amendment will allow all those who have been citizens of the United States for more than 20…
on 9/11, thousands of American citizens were slaughtered before our eyes. It was the worst case of an attack on Americans, people say, since Pearl Harbor. No, this was far worse than Pearl Harbor because all of these Americans who were…
