Nancy Pelosi

The gentleman should not forget, he is my leader. He should not say those things about himself.

Is the gentleman contending that the details that the news media is putting out there about the Starr allegations, and I remind the gentleman that the Starr report is a list of allegations, it is not a statement of fact, and they will be…

The conclusion of our study was entirely misrepresented in the U.S. Congress as evidence that needle exchange did not work. In fact, the author points out, 'In Canada, local governments acted on our research by expanding needle exchange…

I especially thank the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Conyers) for his leadership in bringing this amendment to the floor, which I wholeheartedly support and consider a breath of fresh air. I also rise in support of the underlying…

Let the Record show that no one here says that Catholic Charities approved of domestic partners laws. What we are saying is that no law in San Francisco forces Catholic Charities to accept domestic partners laws or stops it from…

Reclaiming my time, to Sid Yates, the patriot, thank you for protecting our culture, our Constitution, and our countryside. It has been the greatest privilege of my political career to call you colleague. Thank you, Mr. Yates.

In an interview on television, Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott spoke out about homosexuality in a way that I think maybe was unintentional by him, but, nonetheless, was very hurtful and harmful to people in the gay and lesbian community…

I am very glad that he put on the record the fact that Republican Presidents supported this policy, which he opposed consistently under Republican and Democratic Presidents. It is with admiration for him, the gentleman from California (Mr…

This resolution, this provides the framework to increase that, and all of those concerns are trumped by the contagion clause. Contagion, that is the spread of what will happen to the currencies in these countries, will have a terrible…

The point is that the point that the gentleman from California [Mr. Cox] made, and that is that this subsidizes the Chinese military apparatus, the same one that brutally occupies Tibet, sells weapons of mass destruction into the Third…

I believe we should have engagement with China, but it must be effective engagement, that makes the trade fairer, the world safer, and people freer, and not the destructive engagement that we have now that not only coddles dictators but…

I do wish to say that the Clinton administration indeed has a strong interest and places a high priority on child survival. We think this is the better way to go about it, but we look forward to working with them as, again, the only…

I, therefore, call upon our colleagues to once again reject this attempt on the part of the Republican majority to continue its assault on American workers by hiding behind their children. Every day that I serve in this House I will say…

I do want to say though to the gentleman from Oklahoma that the issue between the House and the Senate on the amount of funding in the bill for the ADAP program is not resolved between the House and Senate. The Senate conference may…

The gentleman from Indiana [Mr. McIntosh] has had enough time. If he wants more, he can get it from his own side of the aisle. As you can see, I have lost patience with this exploitation of our bill. If you want to help the children of…

The gentleman knows full well because he has been such a leader in this field that U.S. law prohibits any funds from going to any organizations for the performance of an abortion. The law prevents that. We are just going beyond that.

Abortion as a method of family planning in the Gilman-Pelosi amendment means abortion that is used as a substitute for contraception.

However, the authorization bill, as the gentleman knows, is not the appropriations bill. While it is interesting for us to speculate as to what the will of the body is, the gentleman from Oklahoma [Mr. Coburn] regretfully did not have the…

I once again commend the gentleman from Alabama [Mr. Callahan], the chairman of our committee, who was very sensitive to the concerns of many of us on the committee. The bill language is an attempt to correct this situation. I think that…

I very regretfully oppose the provision for an additional $50 million for the Blackhawk helicopters. Despite the chairman's remarks, I would not be supportive of that in conference. I very strongly opposed the rule that left the language…

I keep a very close eye on these agencies. To the extent that I believe that they are not promoting the general welfare and that special interest is served rather than the public interest, I would be certain to join with the gentleman in…

Finally, Mr. Chairman, does the committee expect that reports concerning a decision to stay the imposition of a sanction shall include a determination that the delay in the imposition of a sanction will not be seriously prejudicial to the…

Is it then the case that the committee intends this provision will be narrowly construed and only used in the most serious of circumstances, when a specific sensitive intelligence source or method or criminal investigation is at risk?

Is it also the case that the law requires the intelligence source or method or law enforcement matter in question must be related to the activities giving rise to the sanction, and the provision is not to be used to protect generic or…

I am very well aware of it as ranking member of the Committee on Appropriations' Subcommittee on Foreign Operations, Export Financing and Related Programs. We spend a great deal of time, of our committee's time and indeed the floor time…
