Dana Rohrabacher

happy birthday to Ronald Reagan. I am sure Nancy is watching, and she knows how much we care for and love Ronald Reagan; and she has been at his side from the beginning. I met Ronald Reagan when I worked in his campaign for Governor in…

Mr. Speaker, the conquests of the frontier and the development of new technology is how we have defined ourselves as Americans from the clipper ships to the railroads to heavier-than-air flight, which was, by the way, established only 100…

Mr. Speaker, today we mourn the life of seven heroes, the crew of the Space Shuttle Columbia: Rick Husband, William McCool, David Brown, Kalpana Chawla, Michael Anderson, Laurel Clark, and Ilan Ramon. These heroes are now departed from us…

Mr. Speaker, one of my top priorities as chairman of the Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics has been addressing the threat posed by near-Earth objects, or NEOs. Our subcommittee will, in fact, hold a second hearing on this subject this…

I support H.R. 2426, the Remote Sensing Applications Act of 2002. This bill provides incentives to make federally funded remote sensing data accessible and useful to address current needs in local communities. This has been a great concern…

today America is reflecting on the events of 9-11, as we should; and it is a time to remember. It is a time to remember those who lost their lives and to remember those, like the firemen and the police, who gave their lives trying to save…

Fidel Castro sent torturers to torture American POWs half way around the world because he hates the United States of America. Everyone who has ever got into serious conversations with this man over his 40 years of rules has come away…

Let us take a look at what is really going on in the world today. Why are we concerned about Fidel Castro? Yes, he is a petty little thug down in Cuba. They say how weak he is. Fidel Castro is demonstrably stronger than Saddam Hussein in…

As this debate goes on, let me again stress what we are talking about, and I do agree with my colleague, the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Sanchez), that the legal essence of what is being talked about today is whether or not we should…

After hearing the gentleman from Michigan's (Mr. Levin) description of how human rights has not been improved and how things are still just as repressive, it seems to me that he has just provided enough arguments for us to say why are we…

I think this is a vital discussion. Who would ever have thought that we would be living in this world 2 years ago. We live in a world where 3,000 Americans have been slaughtered before our eyes. We live in a world where we understand that…

it is a great honor to join with my colleagues tonight on a matter of principle. And my colleague who just spoke certainly has spoken for all of us in the points that she has made, and I hope that the words that I am going to utter now…

sometimes it is very perplexing to be a Member of Congress to note the way this body sometimes will simply go with the trends, what is trendy, especially when it comes to issues of science and energy. I am perplexed as much as I ever have…

let me draw Members' attention to the job that the gentleman from California (Mr. Honda) is doing for these noble Americans. He did not have to do this, but he has put enormous energy into this bill to bring justice to the survivors of the…

as the gentleman knows, all 19 of those people who flew the planes into our buildings and murdered our people were Saudi citizens. I think there are some people in Saudi Arabia who are friends of the United States and allies of the United…

I would just hope that those people who want to extend 245(i) go down and take a look at the blood on the floor of the LAX airport before they do. Take a look at the picture of those poor people who were murdered by this either fanatic or…

I would just like to reaffirm something we talked about earlier, and this is for people who may have missed the beginning of this Special Order, that due to research from my office, we have discovered that the murderer who may well be a…

the tragedy of unintended victims in this war against terrorism should be investigated in order to determine the best manner of assisting them, and their claims should be dealt with if they are shown to be valid claims. Afghan's civilians…

The legislation we vote on today is vital not only to the Afghans but to the peace and stability of the world. We are committing ourselves to this generous aid package in cooperation with other donor countries and, in doing so, sending a…

I rise today to commend the 97 percent of all local United Way chapters which continue to support the Boy Scouts of America despite the national campaign to demonize this wonderful organization. The pressure to abandon the Boy Scouts has…

I first met Ronald Reagan when I was still in my teens. I had been active in his first campaign for Governor. During the primary season we had been very active, and we found out that the heads of the campaign were going to eliminate Youth…

Hamid Karzai, the chairman of the interim government of Afghanistan, is in Washington, DC; and his visit reminds us of the debt that we owe to the Afghan people. It was the Afghan freedom fighters who fought the Soviet Union and defeated…

Although we are both people who love liberty and justice and value our freedom that we have here in the United States and in various countries throughout the world, we have a different view on exactly what policies the United States should…

The answer is yes, but I would not right away. Like the President says, we must do things sequentially, and we must be absolutely committed to the job. If we do things sequentially, the next order of business is taking care of the threat…

That was only based on if the assessment of the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Paul) was correct and they are supporting terrorists and planning to kill thousands of Americans. Then, yes, they are at war with us.
