many on this side advocate a strategy for success. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to another member of our committee, Mr. Ruppersberger of Maryland.
I yield 3 minutes to my California sister, a member of our committee, the ranking member of the Technical and Tactical Intelligence Subcommittee, Ms. Eshoo.
how much time of my 30 minutes remains? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman has 21 minutes remaining.
America is at a crossroads: We can either perpetuate our energy dependence on oil, or we can start taking the necessary steps to develop alternative and renewable energy sources, and wean our Nation off oil. Sadly, Congress has failed to…
I think our National Guard is stretched way too thin, and I think we have a better group of people to do those missions, and, sadly, we're underfunding our border guards.
I appreciate that sending messages to the White House is not all we should do here, but there are very few ways to send those messages. I yield 2 minutes to a senior member of our committee, also a member of the Armed Services Committee…
Well, I agree. And just reclaiming my time, this is how this House should be working. This is bipartisan collaboration at work. It is going to make our cities safer, and it is going to send a message to the American people of one team, one…
the Patriot Act Conference Report which Congress will amend today deals with the outcry leveled at provisions in the original Patriot Act that allow the government to have access to library records. I strongly agree that the original…
I strongly support powerful, flexible, and modern tools to detect the plans and intentions of terrorists who may be operating in our country. For that reason, I voted for the PATRIOT Act, even though I believed and still believe there is…
this vote on the PATRIOT Act reauthorization is tough; it is far from being the best bill it could be. But I will vote for it and want to explain why. Imagine a world in which terrorists make deals and connect with recruits on-line, in…
Congress debated the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1993, I wrote an op-ed titled ``Not This Treaty, Not Now,'' arguing that NAFTA's time had not come, that the U.S. and Canada should require Mexico to meet certain preconditions…
to the last speaker, I agree it is good, but I think it could be a lot better. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Ruppersberger), the former rookie of our committee.
the seaside community of El Segundo in my congressional district, rich in so many ways, is a great deal poorer following the death on Saturday of its longtime Mayor and State assembly representative Mike Gordon. Those of us who knew Mike…
I thank the last speaker for his generous words and ask how much time remains on each side. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mrs. Miller of Michigan). The gentlewoman from California (Ms. Harman) has 8 minutes remaining. The gentleman from…
I yield myself 1 minute to comment on the remarks the chairman just made. Madam Speaker, it is not a zero-sum game, it is not a trade-off between what we call HUMINT, that is, human intelligence, which is primarily the use of spies to tell…
I associate myself totally with the comments that our chairman just made. Madam Speaker, it is now my pleasure to yield 2\1/4\ minutes to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Tierney), our rookie on our side.
I served for 6 years on the Committee on Armed Services and came to admire greatly our next speaker. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Skelton), ranking member.

the new news on our committee is that we have stood up an oversight subcommittee. Much discussion has been made about this already today. It is my pleasure to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Cramer) who is ranking member…
I commend the gentleman for yielding me this time and for his service both on the Rules Committee and on the Intelligence Committee, and I thank the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Putnam) as well for his comments earlier in this debate. Mr…

I thank the sponsor of the amendment for yielding me this time, and I also appreciate the comments of the chairman in the debate that just preceded this. Mr. Chairman, in past years, I have opposed the Sanders amendment on two grounds…
the promise for curing a whole host of debilitating diseases is brighter than it's ever been. Today, Congress has the opportunity to capitalize on breakthrough scientific research to help millions across our country. Representatives Castle…
many on this side of the aisle also support strong border protection. I certainly do, and I support the fence. This is not an argument, however, about whether to build a fence. It is about what process should be used, and this process is…
Politicians like Jane Harman
