Not only are they being built in New Delhi, but we are giving them $150 million in aid, so who is actually paying for that, indirectly?

this is a classic example of the thinking that we sometimes hear from across the aisle. Instead of focusing on the policy goal, they focus on the bureaucratic program. Instead of measuring results, they measure resources and effort…

I plead guilty. I said that global warming at best is unproven, and at worst, liberal claptrap. I plead guilty.

today I would like to begin my talk here with a question of why do we think that America is a great country. I would like people who are listening and the people who are perhaps reading this in the Congressional Record to ask themselves…

4 years ago President Clinton kicked off his Presidential campaign. His theme was honesty in government, and the example he pontificated about was the S&L debacle that was then costing the taxpayers tens of billions of dollars. The…

When we have our disagreements here in the House, one thing that we learn is that although we disagree, we do have some fundamental agreements that keep us together as Americans and that bind us to all of the American people. That is, we…

I rise as a reluctant supporter of the rule before us today because the bill, H.R. 3448, repeals a part of Ronald Reagan's legacy, a tax provisions that encourages the creation of employee owned companies where the employees own a majority…

the ban means wasting the time and limited resources of our police and courts. The police will spend their time disarming potential victims instead of going after youth gangs who are terrorizing our inner cities. This mentality of the ban…

Mr. Chairman, my amendment will close an immigration loophole opened 2 years ago by a rider to the fiscal year 1995 Commerce-State-Justice appropriations bill. This loophole, which was put into the bill by Senator Kennedy, rewards many…

In my district we had a gentleman named Fernando Pedrosa who came from El Salvador several years ago. He was a fine man, a wonderful human being, Fernando Pedrosa was a wonderful human being, but he had leukemia. By the time he died at a…

I am rising here today to support the Gallegly amendment. If things are going to be made illegal, we have to provide the means of enforcing that decision. Otherwise we are just philosophizing. Our voters did not send us here to sit down…

We are talking about the United States, the people of the United States, spending $2 billion to educate illegal aliens just in California, $634 million just in New York, $424 million in Florida, and $419 million in Texas. We are talking…

I guess, and am I taking it for granted that the gentleman is denying that the numerous attempts that I tried to make to get legislation on this floor concerning benefit packages going to illegal aliens, that I am just imagining that we…

America is now facing a potential military confrontation in the Straits of Taiwan, or the Taiwan Straits as they are called. We should all come together, and that is what this piece of legislation does, to make certain that the Communist…

how many of us remember what was going on 4 years ago? Four years ago the American people were told that we were in the worst recession in 50 years. Remember that? The worst recession in 50 years. The news media did not challenge that…

I think we should all really tone down our rhetoric, if we could. I have to say, I use a lot of descriptions of my friends, but let me say to my friend from New York, telling us that we are a bunch of extremists and you now are centrists…

I remember one day when the President was speaking before a rally at a parking lot in North Carolina, where a young lady grabbed me by the arm and said, ``I am here with a group of blind children. They cannot see. They cannot really get up…

There is nothing standing in the way of a balanced budget, there is nothing standing in the way to bring to an end this policy that we have had of having to increase the debt limit over and over and over again because we are nowhere in…

this President has kept all of his promises? I mean, who is kidding whom? This President was the President who campaigned vigorously across America 4 years ago, and what were the issues? He is going to end welfare as we know it, and now we…

I was blessed to be born in California and to have lived in California at the time when Ronald Reagan was Governor of that State. In fact, I worked on his very first campaign. I was the Los Angeles County high school chairman of Youth for…

the first scandal of the Clinton administration was brought on in May of 1993 by the precipitous firing of Billy Dale and six other long-time employees of the White House travel office. Having worked in the White House for 7 years, I was…

I remember, and I think the American people remember, that last year when we Republicans tried to pass a balanced budget amendment, we were defeated because the Democrats claimed, ``Oh, my goodness, you don't need a balanced budget…

I would ask the gentleman, are the educational aspects that he was just mentioning not peripheral to the central point of Sea Grant? Are we really not supposed to be talking about research and development?

I would just like to take this opportunity to congratulate the gentleman from Florida [Mr. Weldon] on the leadership he has been providing on this vital part of America's space effort. The shuttle at this moment is a piece of technology…

Mr. Chairman, I will speak my own mind on this, which should not be the first, because I happen to agree with my colleague that this amendment is a good amendment, and I will be supporting it. But I do realize that there are a number of…
