It should be noted that, in California, there were actual demonstrations by Mexican Americans at the Board of Education against bilingual education. The Board of Education, of course, would not listen to them. It was not until people were…

We had an initiative on the ballot, and the people overwhelmingly voted to get rid of bilingual education. I might add, even in the Hispanic community they voted to get rid of bilingual education. In our county, in Orange County, we pushed…

I rise tonight to discuss an issue that relates directly to the safety of the men and women whose task it is to defend our country. It also goes to the heart of the American lead in the aviation technology upon which we depend so much. For…

one month ago, the Communist regime that controls the mainland of China attacked an American surveillance aircraft while it was in international waters. After being knocked out of the sky, 24 American military personnel, the crew of the…

by insisting on responsible policies, President Reagan proved that he cared much more about the needy and downtrodden than his touchy-feely liberal critics whose decades-long failed policies had kept millions of Americans in despair and…

Mr. Speaker, today we honor former President Ronald Reagan on the occasion of his 90th birthday. For those of us who worked with him, it is a tremendous source of satisfaction that our former boss is now being given the credit that he is…

I hope the public is paying close attention to this debate. I am sorry for using the name of the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Obey), but the gentleman is here, and so I thought I would confront him with this personally because the issue…

the Taliban represent one of the great threats to stability and peace and civility on this planet. They, in fact, represent an aspect of Islam that if accepted and if influencing other areas of the world will have a tremendously…

I gladly join my fellow colleagues in supporting this commemoration and this resolution. I grew up in a military family. I remember when I was a young boy, I was 10 years old, my father was stationed in Japan. We lived in a small enclave…

I extend congratulations to the 23 million people of Taiwan and their democratically elected government, led by President Chen Shui-bian and Vice-President Annette Lu, on the occasion of Taiwan's forthcoming National Day.

Taiwan has become a beacon of democracy in the Asia-Pacific region, despite the threat of military force by Communist China.

I have strongly supported Congressional resolutions advocating that Taiwan be permitted as an independent entity into international organizations.

Mr. Speaker, the people of Taiwan have proved that freedom and democracy are not just American ideals, not just European ideals, they are the universal principles that apply to every individual, to every community and every nation as our…

Mr. Speaker, in February 2000, just the beginning of this year, a Russian-built Sovremenny class destroyer sailed through the Taiwan Strait with a mixed Russian and Communist Chinese crew, and the ship sailed to its new home in southeast…

first as the chairman of the Subcommittee on Space Aeronautics, I would like to personally thank the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Gordon), my ranking minority member on the committee, for the great spirit of bipartisan spirit that we have…

when California was admitted as a state 150 years ago, Southern California paled in comparison to the northern part of the state, which was famous for the gold rush and the new City of San Francisco. The 45th Congressional District and…

as the Republican co-chairman of the Congressional Scouting Caucus, as a proud Eagle Scout and as a supporter, an unapologetic supporter of Scouting in America, I stand here tonight to commend the Boy Scouts of America for what they have…

yes, I think the people should watch San Diego. It is a pity that the liberal-left coalition that controls the Democratic Party is so allied with extreme environmentalists that for 20 years they have prevented the development of any new…

Mr. Speaker, again, we should take a look at what is being said here today and what the central issues are. We have heard that if we vote today for this resolution that these subsidies for businessmen who go over there, who close factories…

I am surprised to hear for the first time today that the Vietnamese communists have made available the records of one of the prisons where Ambassador Peterson was held. In response, I just asked Ambassador Peterson which records he was…

Mr. Speaker, we have heard here that this really is not about taxpayer subsidy, because what we are doing today only makes possible that we will give taxpayer subsidies to American businessmen for closing factories here and opening up in…

Yes, we have a goal of lots of wonderful things for Russia. As long as we act like a bunch of saps, as long as we act like we can be taken advantage of, giving debt restructuring while they are doing things in a belligerent way to the…

I have introduced H.J. Res. 103 to disapprove the President's annual certification of the so-called normal trade relations with China... What we are talking about is American workers being taxed in order to support the transfer of…

Mr. Speaker, the center core argument of this debate today is never addressed. People always try to ignore it. I would just like to draw the attention of those people reading the Congressional Record or listening to this debate to this…

whereas my name has been used several times and I was not paid the courtesy of being yielded to by the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Obey); yet, when I was on the floor I was very happy to yield for a question, even when I had not used…
