Nancy Pelosi

I remain disappointed, but support this revised legislation.

It does not make sense to cut funding to assist homeless persons, the working poor, and persons with AIDS.

I was disappointed that the Republican House leadership initially had cut housing assistance to low-income Americans.

While these increases will prove useful, we all recognize that the need for Section 8, public housing, HOPWA, and homelessness are significantly greater.

However, I continue to be concerned that these improvements do not adequately fund America's housing needs.

I rise to support the VA-HUD conference report. I commend the conferees for the improvements they made to the House passed bill.

The plight of the people of Tibet challenges the conscience of the world and by and large the world ignores their plight. Our bill does not, and the more attention we can call, the better. Mr. Chairman, even though this may not be able to…

I was with my family in Cairo when we got the bad news. We were all going to join Mickey in Nairobi when he left Ethiopia. Of course, he invited everyone to go to Ethiopia with him. Fortunately for everyone else, he did not have a large…

We need to make those contributions to the Man and the Biosphere program. Everything else is fully funded. I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on the amendment. I commend the distinguished gentleman from California (Mr. George Miller) for…

This bill has enough co-sponsors to pass. We should pass this legislation and help save the lives of women.

I am not pleased with the Republican leadership which has given inadequate attention to this bill.

The bill will offer consistent, reliable method of treatment for uninsured and underinsured women fighting breast or cervical cancer.

The bipartisan Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Act takes the vital next step to offer lifesaving treatment to cancer victims.

This important legislation will help women beat back the ravages of breast and cervical cancer and save lives.

I hope that as we go forward with all of these amendments and all of the investigations that will continue, that we do not shed a light of suspicion on individuals or companies or concerns in America. I happen to be blessed in my district…

I say the gentleman's amendment would have a chilling effect on the research. Medical research thrives, we have free and open inquiry.

The administration had intended to use the existing P.L. 480 title 2 resources and surplus commodities from the section 416(b) program to meet the needs in Kosovo. As we know, the needs have exceeded in terms of numbers of refugees and the…

Mr. Speaker, we are all very blessed to have the privilege to serve in this body. We speak for the American people. They give us this privilege, and we should deal with it responsibly. We owe them that, to use our best thinking and our…

I commend the makers of this resolution and rise in support of it... This resolution urging free and fair elections in Indonesia is important because promoting freedom, and free and fair elections, is important, but also because Indonesia…

As a representative of San Francisco in the Congress, I wanted to speak because many of the people in our region... What a perfect way for his life to end, to see the tradition of greatness and dignity live on in this body, and Lord knows…

Today is a tragic day for our country because, while our young people are fighting in the Persian Gulf and bringing honor to our country, we are bringing dishonor to it with our hypocrisy here in this Chamber. Today the Republican Party is…

I have enjoyed following his leadership on human rights issues throughout the world where he has been an unsurpassed champion. It speaks, I think, to how the House used to be that people so far a part on the political spectrum could come…

I want to focus on our ranking member for a moment though, because tomorrow is his birthday, I want to thank him for being born because of his extraordinary leadership in this House of Representatives. I know this committee best because…

I share the concerns that our colleagues have about the irresponsibility of the North Korean regime. Members of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence... I can certainly firsthand agree with the horrible state of affairs. But the…

I think it is contradictory. The fact is that the American Jewish Committee and the Anti Defamation League, the American Jewish Congress and B'nai B'rith have every right to express their view on this subject, but do not say the Armenian…
