I rise today to put on record my concerns regarding the Airport Streamling Approval Process Act of 2002 currently under discussion in the House. No one can quarrel with the concept of coordinating the extensive environmental review process…

I rise today in qualified support of the conference report to H.R. 2646, The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act. While California is the top agricultural state economy in the United States, the bulk of this legislation's…

I am simply saying to the gentleman that I do not think this House ought to be frightened, fearful of an independent evaluation of what occurred. If there was any major accident happening in any of our cities or any parts of the country…

I thought when this left the committee, it left it in a bipartisan way. It left with the Pelosi language in it, which was an independent commission. That is the way it left. We got to the floor today and it is different. If Members take…

Yesterday will forever mar American history. We will long remember the horrible tragedy that was inflicted on thousands of innocent men, women and children. While the hearts and prayers of our nation go out to the victims and their…

I know that the chairman is aware of the illegal activities undertaken by the Department of Agriculture employees at Hunts Point Terminal. These illegal activities have resulted in grave economic losses for produce growers throughout the…

I rise in opposition to granting Permanent Normal Trade Relations with China. Let me be very clear, I am not opposed to an open trade policy and I am not an isolationist. But, I also do not believe in trade at any price. Our experiences in…

I rise in support of the recommittal motion and am opposed to H.R. 10. Let me simply just say the reason that I oppose H.R. 10 and support the motion to recommit is section 351. This section of the bill should have been deleted. The…

Let me just say from the outset, H.R. 350, the Mandate Information Act of 1999, this bill does not stop legislative mandates. Let me repeat that. The bill does not stop mandates. If this body chooses to pass a mandate on local business…

I understand the point of the chairman of the Committee on Rules. This is an attempt to allow all the Members of this House to have access to the information. It is an attempt to speed the process along so we can bring it to closure. The…

I rise today to cast my vote against renewing normal trade relations with the People's Republic of China. In doing so, it is time to send a strong signal to Beijing along a number of fronts. First, it is time to send a strong message that…

I just want to respond to my colleague from California (Mr. Thomas) with respect when he makes reference to when we were in the majority and Iran Contra investigation. I want to let him know that I voted with him, I voted with him to…

I do have a problem with the manager's amendment. If we come in with a very broad amendment, we could undercut the very intention of the unfunded mandate legislation in that if it did not qualify for a point of order, it could put all…

Mr. Chairman, I want to just bring up a point, I spoke a minute ago and I wanted to talk a little bit about the intent of this bill. The intent of this bill is to provide information to the Members about the cost of an unfunded mandate on…

I want to rise and show my support for the amendment, and I would like to commend the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Davis) and the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Moran) for being on their toes and being on guard for State government. This is…

a moment ago we heard the opening prayer presented by my father, the Reverend Adrian Condit. I want to thank the Speaker, as well as Chaplain Ford, for extending this courtesy to my father. My family has been honored that my father has…

first let me clearly state that I fully support an investigative look and review of any wrongdoing. I think we ought to do that. But let me tell my colleagues, when we were in committee a couple of days ago, it sounded sort of like this…

I stand today to oppose the rule. I have a great deal of respect for the chairman of the Committee on Rules, but I want those of my colleagues who can hear me, who can hear the sound of my voice to listen to the amendment that was turned…

as our transportation needs change going into the 21st century, our current funding formula dating back to 1916 needs to be updated. H.R. 647, STEP 21, is a commonsense approach to reforming transportation funding that simplifies and…
