Dana Rohrabacher

let me just note that the section of the bill that the gentlewoman from Ohio (Ms. Kaptur) read and said, my gosh, we need to look at this more, and why just foist it on us, the gentlewoman from Ohio (Ms. Kaptur), that portion of the bill…

it seems to me that by being a little heavy-handed here, we are undermining this process.

I rise in support of the intent of the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Burton) to send a message to India. I really actually admire India. India is a very large country that was created in a period of turmoil after the decline and the…

For these reasons, we have provided this office with a steady increase in funding over the next 3 years.

Make no mistake about this: we want to give U.S. industry a stable business environment so they can be more competitive in the international marketplace.

I am pleased to offer this legislation to help make America's commercial space transportation industry more competitive.

In Communist China, we have a ruthless dictatorship that is using commercial space activities to help its military someday compete with the United States.

During the Cold War, when we were in a contest with the Soviet Union, we used the China card. We played the China card. And, yes, just like during World War II, when we allied ourselves with Joseph Stalin in order to defeat Adolf Hitler…

I would like to go through a few reasons of why China is not our strategic partner. People have to understand, there is a lot of rhetoric about China being the worst human rights abuser. People do not understand the specifics of what we…

If we again renew normal trade relations with Communist China, this body is going to send the signal to not only Communist China but to the world that we are backing away, that we do not have the will to protect our interests, we do not…

Perhaps the most disturbing part of this whole controversy is the response that we have had from people who are trying to protect the administration from being held accountable for certain things dealing with this controversy. For example…

I think we have certainly outlined tonight the magnitude of the problem, and my colleague from California has demonstrated that what we are talking about is the survival or the incineration of millions of Americans. I mean, again, it is…

Let me just say that, on that vote that was brought up by my good friend from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), it is 10 years later and I think I am 10 years wiser. I think I would have voted differently at that time. Even then I knew it was…

this debate has been spirited, it has been heartfelt, and let me say that I appreciate the sincerity as well as the hard work that has gone into this, but the sincerity on both sides of this issue, and one note of which I am just a little…

What we have to understand in debating this is there is a false dichotomy that is being presented. And the American people can understand that. The option is not doing nothing or sending in our U.S. troops to do the fighting. That is not…

the United States has been blessed in so many ways, and not the least of which is the good sense that our Founding Fathers had in keeping us out of foreign entanglements and military engagements overseas. George Washington threatened us of…

today I am submitting to Congress what I believe will be an historic piece of legislation. It is entitled The Employee Ownership Act of 1999. This legislation, I predict, will be as significant to the American people as the homeowner's…

national missile defense is essential, especially after the Communist Chinese have availed themselves of America's most deadly nuclear weapons secrets and, of course, upgraded their rockets with American technology. Yet this administration…

I have visited troops in the last few months as well and American troops are stretched thin throughout the world, whether it is in the Persian Gulf or whether it is in Asia. We have a situation where thousands of American military…

Let us debate this issue honestly, Mr. Chairman. What are the parameters? Are we going to send troops everywhere where genocide is committed? No, that is obviously not the case. Why then do we determine the Balkans is the case, when in…

It is beyond belief that we have a report by the Cox Select Committee into this ongoing systematic espionage by the Communist Chinese as well as the transfer of technology over the recent years and that that report, the Communist Chinese…

To amplify, if I may reclaim for a moment, on that point, and again this is a little bit too horrifying for Americans to comprehend. I mean this is one of those facts that we like not even to think about. We want to turn off the TV and…

this week shocking information became available to the American people that cries out for a change in U.S. policy toward Communist China. Some of us have long warned about the deadly transfer of American technology to a government that is…

Let me reclaim my time so we know the administration will try to fuzzy this issue by claiming that some of these thefts that we are talking about started during the Reagan years. And let me be very specific when they were making this…

this is an appropriate evening for me to be presenting what I have to say, whereas we have just heard about the changes in American defense that have taken place, some alarming changes that have taken place over these last 10 years, and in…
