Gary Condit

And you know, Anderson, we never used to care about missing women until Chandra Levy went missing. And everybody took that case because everybody speculated that Congressman Gary Condit might have had something to do with her…

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…

I rise in support of H.R. 4924, the Truth in Regulating Act of 2000. I would like to thank the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Burton); the ranking member, the gentleman from California (Mr. Waxman); the gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Kelly)…

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…

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 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…

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…

I rise in support of the coalition budget, I ask all my colleagues to vote for it, and I commend the gentleman from Utah [Mr. Orton] and the gentleman from Texas [Mr. Stenholm] for the work they have done.

Let me just remind the Members that are listening that what H.R. 961 does, some of the things that we have been working and fighting on for a long period of time. It provides comprehensive wetlands reform, which we have worked on and taken…

Mr. Chairman, we do not change the law for last year at all. It stays the same. The year 2004 in entitlement would kick in automatically for full reimbursement. I would expect that having done what we are doing out here today and tomorrow…

Reclaiming my time, that is only the point I want to make. I am not speaking to the issue of the amendment. I just simply want to say that some of us believe this is good for the country. We believe it is good for local government, for…

Let me assure you this bill does not eliminate all unfunded mandates. What this bill does is it requires us to have some accountability, for us to have the courage to come to the floor and to waive a point of order if we think it is…

Mr. Chairman, first of all, let me say a word of thanks to my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for allowing me the time that they did and for allowing us to speak in favor of H.R. 5. I think that will be a positive and constructive…

Reclaiming my time, I will simply say there have been a number of Members in this House on both sides of the aisle that have approached members of the Unfunded Mandates Caucus and pointed out that this is an unfunded mandate. We tried real…
