I will vote for impeachment because the President is guilty of perjury and lying under oath, and lying to a grand jury, and all the rest. Impeachment is another way of reaffirming certain standards and principles. America today is in dire…
Tonight, I would just like to say from the bottom of my heart, in recent days as I have walked around the floor of Congress as we have been discussing the various issues, it has crossed my mind and my heart, not just on a couple of…
House Resolution 533 is intended to help support democracy in Cambodia and prevent a new ``killing fields'' by serving as the first step to bringing the violent dictator and former Pol Pot trigger man, Hun Sen, to justice. This legislation…
I join with my friends today from Illinois and Ohio in supporting the freedom of the Baltic peoples and in memorializing the infamous Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact is an historic reminder that the forces of evil and…
Mr. Speaker, it was 100 years ago this year that Teddy Roosevelt led his Rough Riders in the Battle of San Juan Hill, which was a decisive battle of the Spanish-American War. History has long overlooked the significance of that battle and…
Jerry Solomon has given a new meaning to the words ``the wisdom of Solomon.'' All of us who have served with him, and I have served with him for the last 10 years, understand what that means. Jerry Solomon, first and foremost, and this is…
Mr. Speaker, this resolution takes from the Speaker's desk H.R. 1702 as reported back by the Senate and passed with an amendment. The Commercial Space Act of 1998 is a small legislative step that will enable giant leaps for America's…
the gentleman does not think it is proper for us to offer those people who are struggling for freedoms in Iraq against their dictatorship a helping hand?
The report he refers to confirms the need to apply fair and consistent standards in managing and funding important activities like the Commercial Space Center program, which is precisely the intent of section 106 of this bill. I promise…
I am disappointed that more Members on the other side of the aisle this morning have not been condemning the smear job that was done on the chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary, the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Henry Hyde). Chuck…
But what we are saying is that that is what the underlying tension in this city today is as we are moving forward to investigate a crime. We have done everything that we can do. My colleagues have not seen me on the floor, and my…
I have not mentioned the President when discussing any particular charge. And in fact, some of the charges, some of the things that we have been discussing have no relationship to the President whatsoever. And, in fact, relate more perhaps…
like most if not all Republicans in the House, I have refrained from making speeches or public statements about the current scandal gripping the White House. I have said on numerous occasions that there are more important issues I would…
Let me just note this, if the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Hyde) was being accused of perjury and saying that he had committed perjury in the past, how can he now investigate and have a perjury investigation? If the gentleman from Illinois…
we Americans are rightfully proud that our country is known as the land of opportunity. Unfortunately, Native Americans have not always enjoyed the upward mobility we are so proud of, but obstacles faced by Native Americans can and are…
the crisis that we are now facing here in the Nation's Capital is unfortunately obstructing the view of a historic struggle that is now going on in southeast Asia and China. So I believed tonight to be the night that I should, instead of…
on April 30 of this year, I came to the floor of the House to use 1 hour of time available to me in a special order to discuss a matter of utmost importance to the security of our country and the safety of the American people. In that…
How many prosecutors have been prosecuted? Almost none, is that right? Instead, like in the case of the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. McDade), they get promotions.
Does the gentleman believe if a prosecutor, for example, encourages a witness to commit perjury or breaks the law in some other way, that that prosecutor should himself or herself be prosecuted for violating the law for doing something…
Obviously, if we just listen very closely to what is being said here, these gentlemen are trying to cut off other avenues for ordinary Americans to raise money for their campaigns, leaving the political arena in the control of such wealthy…
Obviously we would like to be fair to all Americans, and that is not what this bill is all about, if we prevent nonwealthy Americans from raising the funds they need to deter these attacks on wealthy citizens trying to steal these…
Supposedly, this will kill the whole purpose of this bill. That is a lot of baloney. If we are talking about campaign finance reform and we are going to leave the whole campaign arena to rich people, what good is that reform? In fact…
First and foremost, this does not permit unlimited contributions, the gentleman is absolutely wrong, and I hope people are paying attention to the debate. The unlimited contributions that we are setting is the limit which a wealthy person…
Mr. Chairman, today the Appropriations Committee has brought before the House a bill which, a bill which, among other things, funds our nation's civilian space agency, NASA, for fiscal year 1999. As chairman of the authorizing subcommittee…
I oppose this amendment still, but understand my colleague's desire in this attempt. But I would oppose it, because, number one, I do disagree with his theory on labor practices, as is happening in the Northern Marianas; and, number two, I…
