Dana Rohrabacher

I want the democratic process to have a chance to work. We have a right, and our constituents have a right, to have a vote on the floor on issues of this magnitude. We are talking about 400,000 people who already stayed, they overstayed…

no decent American or anyone else is going to turn the other way as young girls or any young person is exploited and a contract is not honored, or someone is being forced into a life style like the gentleman is suggesting. But what I am…

not only do we not condone it, I would applaud the gentleman from California [Mr. Miller] that we should, as a country, make sure that we take the steps necessary to stop that. But to condemn, basically to throw the baby out with the bath…

I am excited today to call the attention of my colleagues to an event of awesome importance that happened today at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It concerns an issue that is in the process of being decided by Congress that…

I do not believe that I referred critically to any individual Senator. I think I have just outlined the positions of Senators. I do not think I used any pejorative descriptions of any U.S. Senator. It just happens that this legislation…

over the last 3 years, I have been involved in organizing support behind the right of the American people to maintain the legal level of protection that had been their right as American citizens since the founding of our country over 200…

there is not any indication that the situation is getting better in India because those people who have studied the situation, we realize the one conflict, the one flame that is igniting the conflict on the subcontinent, is the decision by…

This is a truly bipartisan effort as are most of the human rights efforts made in this Congress, and ever increasingly made in this Congress. My bill is a bit tougher than the other amendment that has been offered regarding American…

this idea that OPIC is creating jobs in the United States is so much nonsense I can hardly contain myself. We are talking about taxing the hardworking people of the United States in order to provide loan guarantees and subsidies for people…

I think the Republicans are trying to do their very best job here. We heard a lot of screaming and yelling. I do not know if my colleagues remember exactly what happened, but when the Democrats were in charge, they were not exactly…

Henry Salvatori was a man who believed in free enterprise and free speech. He believed in honor, in truth, in decency and hard work and responsibility, and he took these principles to heart and into his hands. With them he built a very…

Mr. Chairman, the SS-N-22 missile known as the Sunburn was created by the Soviet Union to attack American warships that are equipped with Aegis cruiser radar and battle management systems. This missile system, the Sunburn system, is a…

We are making a decision today of what options our leaders will have 20 years from now. Twenty years from now we do not want the option of our American political leaders just to be to go nuclear or to put hundreds of thousands of Americans…

Russia, who is the recipient of $95 million of foreign aid from the United States, has developed a deadly new missile whose purpose is to kill American sailors. It is a supersonic cruise missile that is almost impossible to defend against…

Again I would like to offer my congratulations to the gentlewoman from Georgia [Ms. McKinney] for the great job that she did in providing this code of conduct legislation. Again, I was very proud to stand by her and work with her in that…

Mr. Chairman, I am afraid I am going to have to reject the idea of putting a waiver into this bill. The bottom line is when we put waivers into these bills, what we do is we are really making them into a sense-of-the-Congress resolution…

the American people have car insurance, they have home insurance, they have life insurance. Now what we are offering them in this amendment is insurance against government shutdown, government shutdown insurance. This will prevent…

I would compliment my colleague from Oklahoma [Mr. Coburn]. While a short time here, he has become a champion of the taxpayers and watching for these little things that might sneak by the rest of us, and we really appreciate his diligence…

this bipartisan manager's amendment was crafted from 3 distinct minor amendments which have no impact on the funding level of this bill and simply fine-tune or add policy provisions. The first part authored by the distinguished ranking…

If we change our laws exactly like Japan's, to make it just like Japan's, which is harmonizing our law, which is the secret agreement, and I say secret agreement because I did not know anything about it as a Member of Congress. I was a…

I think that is healthy for this body. And I certainly never believed that my colleague, the gentleman from Illinois [Mr. Hyde] would have personalized it the way the newspaper said it was. After all, it was a comment not about me but…

But I have nothing but respect for the gentleman from North Carolina [Mr. Coble] and the gentleman from Illinois [Mr. Hyde]. As I say, if one would examine our voting records, one would find that we vote together 90 percent of the time…

I call H.R. 400 the Steal American Technologies Act, so it is a good thing that we have discussed this bill on Science and Technology Week. The fact is H.R. 400 would change the fundamental protections that have been in place guarding…

It is fascinating that in H.R. 400, which we will vote on as an up-and-down vote at the end of this long debate and after our amendments are through, that all of the Nobel Laureates that have been cited on the floor have been in favor of a…

I would challenge Members on the other side of this debate to spend their time and their 5 minutes explaining to the American people why what they are proposing directly parallels a secret agreement that we have made with Japan. They will…
