The Public Record
I do not mean to take much of the gentleman's time, but I was away at that hanging as well, and I must say, at the Library of Congress they had this wonderful ceremony where both the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Jim Sensenbrenner) and the…
It will be a great time to celebrate, but it is only the beginning. I really do appreciate this nonpartisan effort.
Mr. Chairman, I rise today not to complain a bit about the work of the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. McDade) or the gentleman from California (Mr. Fazio) in terms of the subcommittee report that is before us, but rather to say that a…
I want you to know, Mary, that all of us in this Chamber loved and admired Sonny. Of course, we still do; and, like you, we miss him dearly. But today we are here as a family to say welcome to you and to Chesare and Chianna and to all the…
it seems to me that this forest conceivably could be part of a recovery area. It has been under serious difficulty in recent years because of the recent history of dry weather. A spark could literally ungulf the whole mountainside. To pass…
I also wanted to share with the gentlewoman and others the fact that just a short time ago I returned from a, not exactly a ribbon-cutting, but essentially that, at a Habitat for Humanity, location very close to the Capitol here, where in…
I ask my colleague to yield at this point because he is raising a very, very important item that kind of goes to the heart of some of the mystery of Sonny Bono. The early days of Sonny and Cher, it was very obvious that he was the butt of…
Congressman Brown and I have looked at the problems of the Salton Sea for some time... what is a very, very important national asset and important environmental asset will all but be wasted and lost unless we take some action in a very…
I very much appreciate my chairman yielding this time to me, and I want to take just a moment to express my personal deep appreciation for the work of both our chairman and the ranking member, the gentleman from Washington [Mr. Dicks]. I…
I could not help but react to the remarks of the gentleman from California regarding the earlier two amendments that were just referenced. Indeed, in that case there was a very strong bipartisan vote in opposition to those amendments. I…
I am sorry to interrupt the thought of the gentlewoman from Idaho, but at this moment she just brought to mind the reality that just a few years ago we had a serious debate on this floor regarding desert lands in the West and some people…
The legislation, in fact, directs EPA to ensure that quality researchers participate in broadly based, comprehensive, competitive, and peer-reviewed research programs. Only when we bring together a diverse community of the best scientific…
It would be the intent of the conferees and this conference report that institutes such as HEI would receive priority in the process laid out in the conference report.
the language requires that Superfund be reauthorized by May 15, 1998, in order to receive the additional funds. It certainly is my intent that such a reauthorization be comprehensive reform of the Superfund law.
I very much appreciate his involvement in this critical issue, a critical issue to us, those of us who focus on this problem in the Congress, but to the country as well. I agree that EPA has worked closely with us in developing the…
Mr. Speaker, I certainly am not going to object to this suggestion by my colleague. By way of commentary, however, I must say that it was at least 15 years ago as a member of this committee I traveled to the northern part of the State of…
I, too, thought the question was over at 20, and then just before the election the President asked for the 21st. I thought he was getting a new understanding that a third squadron might be helpful, so it seems to me we ought to revisit…
NASA does tell me that the administration does support the $100 million in their statement of administration policy on this bill. Frankly, I get different messages from different locations. But NASA is supporting that policy position.
I believe the gentleman has capsulized my intent. A message is really my intent.
I frankly have the highest level of confidence in the work that is being done by NASA at this moment, and, indeed, it seems to me if we find ourselves in a situation where we need to review this further, we certainly could readdress the…
I am happy it enter into this colloquy with the gentlewoman from Texas regarding a very important matter. Her discussion and concern goes to the heart of how we got to one-for-one replacement in the first place, because there was a time in…
Mr. Chairman, as I indicated earlier, much of this information and these expressions of concern were not available to the committee when we discussed it at the appropriations level and this increased appropriations was recommended…
first I very much appreciate the gentleman bringing this matter to our attention. We are all more than aware of the fantastic contribution his predecessor, Sonny Montgomery, made not just to the entire House but especially to the veterans…
I must say to the gentleman, the only reservation I have, for I am concerned about programs that affect the inner city and small businesses, et cetera, is that when we went to the Committee on Appropriations, the Committee on the Budget…
I might suggest that what is really being discussed here in good faith on the part of all the parties is the prospect of developing language that could fit into a manager's amendment as we go to the conference on this matter. I would not…
Politicians like Jerry Lewis
