The Public Record
then let me deviate in the remaining few moments to point out the headline--these are public issues--the headline of yesterday's Washington Times: ``In Jail, McDougal Plays Media Queen,'' is cocky. In Dayroom 212 of Pod B of the Faulker…
in my district is a city named after the grandmother of Jesus Christ, Santa Ana, St. Ann. In this city, which once won the all-American city award, and it is an all-American city, we have people living in garages, illegal aliens, and as my…
One of the greatest selling jobs of all-time was to take the behavioral conduct ring out of the word AIDS. If we were discussing this as what it is, a fatal venereal disease, and it had the ring of syphilis, which is no longer fatal, I do…
this is going to be hot stuff. I said last week I would quote from battling Harry Truman. Everybody wants to be Harry Truman if they are coming from behind in an election, and I said that Harry Truman was tough on adultery, loyal to his…
Two quick final thoughts: You are right. Boy, was I understating it. Those of us who were raised in California and in New York, a few other big cities, find words like arrogance, gall, the effrontery of it all. They are not strong enough…
I demand constitutional authority of this House over men and women going into combat. And the minimum we should get is what we have had ever since World War II: consultation.
Let us make a pact that if, God willing and the wisdom of the voters sustaining us in our chairmanships on the election, which is 56 days away tomorrow, if we come back, whether it is President Dole--please, Lord--or President Clinton…
Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan is changing his vote. At least one has let his conscience kick in. He wrote a speech titled ``Too Close to Infanticide.'' Great cardinals and bishops and Protestant leaders have said it is infanticide, and…
What I wanted to do was to point out at the end of my special order, because I got caught a little about there, that I have asked unanimous consent they duplicate it to put it in the Record at the end of my remarks for any Americans…
I opened by reading a letter, a speech, that I have been trying to get my hands on for years that Henry Cabot Lodge... delivered in New York on December 4, 1954. Henry Cabot Lodge got up and said these words. I think this is why it…
I started, believe it or not, when I was 19 years old, when I joined the Air Force. And while I was waiting to go to pilot training in July 1953, I had just turned 20 by then, I joined when I was 19 in October 1952. I served basic, waiting…
Right. ``Draft dodger'' is certainly a pejorative label. If I moved it around and used gerunds and verbs and said ``dodging the draft,'' that is what he did. I went to the Cambridge cemetery at Cambridge, England, and looked up the grave…
Beautifully put. You have actually picked up the theme of the cardinals, to try and win by persuasion. But when you are a fighter pilot, that is hard. Your dad is a fighter pilot. Ask your dad how hard it is to be loving and kind and try…
There is great suffering going on in northern Iraq. I thought that the Kurdish people would maybe reach a period of tranquility here. They are one of these sad ethnic groups that spread over three, actually four, nations, with the…
this is as good a debate as we have had on this House floor in a long, long time, but it is because of the quality of intellectual potency of the two gentlemen on this side of the aisle and some over here. But the gentleman from Ohio [Mr…
What we are responding here, what the whole Congress is responding to is certainly not a disgrace. It is a response to the administration's repeated subordination of U.S. interests to the U.N. agenda. Mr. Chairman, I want to put in the…
That is enough to discuss this tragedy. Mr. Speaker, I am looking at the new Time magazine. Donald Rumsfeld, who served 10 years in this Congress, served well, was appointed as one of the youngest Secretaries of Defense, I think the…
I do not know why it has turned out this way in the last few periods before we went on a long district work period. It turned out that I would be the last speaker and adjourn the House. And I think this is more exciting than most periods…
We have ridiculed the absolute truth of God's word and called it pluralism. We have worshiped false gods and called it multiculturalism. We have endorsed perversion and called it alternative lifestyle or diversity. We have exploited the…
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wish that I had a national radio show where the producers or syndication owners would allow me to read for about a week from this great book with a plain brown cover, POW, a definitive history of the American…
Would the gentleman want to add a note of excitement to his special order tonight? My middle daughter of 5 sons and daughters just called in a play. She did not mean to, but she knew it was your special order and I maybe could bolt for the…
It did not make the evening news at all. It just showed in silent that he got the Gold Medal from Congress.
Pol Pot, Pol Pot, from the Killing Fields. He is on that list that the Pope has condemned. He came into office in 1978 in the killing fields in Cambodia, with the death after 33 days of John Paul I, making him the first. That was in 1978…
Dear Mr. Speaker, since 1992 Republican elected officials and Republican spokespeople have been critical of the Democratic Party for the treatment of Gov. Robert Patrick Casey at the 1992 Democratic Convention because of his refusal to…
Right. And this particular one, this current Congress, it is not the last Congress, it is the 102d Congress, April 1992, and it is published by the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, which is loosely referred to as the Ethics…
Politicians like Robert Dornan
