As a father and a grandfather of eight young ladies, I take this parental rights thing very seriously. But here is what we are neglecting on those who oppose the Istook amendment. With parents' rights, as with most rights, there are also…

my colleague who just spoke from Connecticut is married to one of the best pollsters in this country. When she tells us that our ratings are at an all-time low for this century, I listen. I said: Stan is one of the best pollsters in this…

Let me add a bipartisan note to some friendships around here. We all have friendships on both sides of the aisle. A Democrat from Texas who I dearly respect, I am sorry to see him leaving, a Democrat from Michigan who I dearly respect, one…

tonight I noticed in my clippings that the one businessman who was held hostage in Iran from Sherman Oaks, CA, Mr. Jerry Plotkin, died. He said, when Mayor Tom Bradley called Jerry Plotkin Day in Los Angeles, after his return from 444 days…

I am writing this letter on behalf of my husband, Specialist First Class Donald H. Dugan, and my family. My husband was killed disarming an explosive device while deployed in Bosnia. I would like to take this opportunity to let everyone…

It started the very week Don Dugan died, when I went to a big military dinner and a four-star general says to me, without knowing the facts and did not even know his name, Well, I hear he was way out in front of his troops and he was not…

I am extended for 2 years on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. It is my eighth year. And there will not be a single Republican member of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence who will argue with the figures provided…

I wish you could understand how silly it sounds, all these references to star wars, to talk about all these other theater missile defense systems that are working. Where do my colleagues think all that technology came from? This is simply…

I am actually going to discuss two things: one, a short tribute to a good friend of mine, a political acquaintance who has developed into a good friend because of his good heart and what he and his whole large family has tried to do about…

The amazing thing is how often in our lives we pass heroes all the time and never notice that they are any different than anybody else. It is just that they volunteered. They were a vanguard. They extended themselves.

I agree. Just to clear the record, for those who were not forced to take 4 years of Shakespeare in school, that Portia, because I well know the gentlewoman's distinguished name, means a lady lawyer of exceeding skill, as in Portia from the…

no one other than the gentleman has investigated the Vince Foster thing or analyzed it. And the line of Vince Foster's that comes back to us from the grave about the whole Whitewater mess and the IRS problems was, these are Vince Foster's…

First of all, I want to pass out some compliments that I did not tell anybody I was going to do. But the prior speaker, the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Weldon] has developed into a national treasure. I am talking about you, Mr…

Mr. Speaker, I had been intending to come to the floor tonight to finish a tribute to Admiral John Duncan Bulkeley, who had served 55 years on active duty, retired just a few years ago in 1988, and was the squadron commander of the PT…

I can tell my colleagues, you only have to be there a few months, read the National Intelligence Daily, and you will understand what a serious and dangerous world this is. With all the weapons that the Soviet Union has destroyed, they…

I have talked to the parliamentarians and my honor was impugned at several points during Mr. Gunderson's strange point of personal privilege. If I had been here, I could have taken his words down time after time and had them stricken from…
