I rise today to make note of a particular issue. On October 25, 1980, The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction established reciprocal rights and duty to expedite the return of children to their state of…

I will tell my colleagues, coming to Congress recently with the expectation that it was a place of contentiousness and divisiveness, I will tell my colleagues that, having worked with the gentleman from Ohio (Chairman Regula), he has…

This is a map of northern California. I represent basically the center portion of this. Geographically, this area is roughly two-thirds the size of the State of Washington. It is larger than, say, four or five States one may wish to select…

I must say that we have some remarkable young people working in this country. Let me just tell Members a little bit about these two fellows. Both were enrolled in the retirement program. Nils stays in the house owned by Moses. Moses is 20…

I wanted to come down and visit briefly today on this particular subject, that being the marriage tax penalty. As has been recited very eloquently, the numbers and the facts and the figures of what this existing tax law provision causes, I…

I rise today again to make a point of the Social Security plan that the President has put forward. We have heard much in terms of the ballyhoo about the President's plan, of which I have a copy and which will be reviewed at the Committee…

I have in my hand the budget submitted by the President of the United States in his State of the Union, and on page 366 it details the various outlays, receipts and surplus for the upcoming fiscal year and the ensuing four. However I also…

I have taken the time this evening to track down off the Internet the draft text of the proposed peace agreement. I found it at msnbc.com/news/277886.asp. It is the text of the U.N. draft on Kosovo. While this is the draft, and it was put…

it is ironic that we find ourselves here talking about rocket scientists, because under no circumstances do I pretend to be a rocket scientist. However I think, like so many things we are involved in, whether it be running our families…

I, in particular, was sitting in my office listening this evening to the discussion on the floor and I thought of the Cox report that I have been reading, traveling back and forth to my district, and in volume I, on page XXIV, it talks…

I am not convinced that our involvement in Kosovo serves our national interest. When the President sends American troops into battle there must be a national interest at stake. There should be a clear goal of the mission, including a…
