I am the chairman of the Military Personnel Committee, so all of these ceilings and floors on military strength falls under my purview at first... We also re-added to the floor that we put there now 7,500 new slots, and so as not to get…

I do not want to send one single American young man or woman, not even fighter pilots, not 'Deny Flight,' not top cover, not close air support. No American from this country, or Canada for that matter, should die for Europeans again in…

Thank you for reminding us of that. Because if the audience on C-SPAN is 1.3 million going toward 1\1/2\ million, I mean dedicated people who have really come to know their government by watching C-SPAN, we can ask 1.3 million people right…

I decided that although I got this time, from the Speaker, to honor our Americans that died over the longest period of any sea battle in history, Guadalcanal was 7 months of land and sea battles, but the battle of Okinawa, which began on…

The gentleman has just been reading from a middle school survey, not seniors in high school but a middle school, not seniors or juniors or even sophomores in middle school. And CDC usually funds about 95, 96, 97, 98 percent of this. So if…

No, except I think we have debated this so many times over the years. Mr. Chairman, I respect the opinions of my good colleague from the adjoining district, to the west of me, Mr. Horn, and I respect the gentleman from Pennsylvania, Mr…

I feel that there is a war going on in narcotics and it is all on the side of the cocaine cowboys, and we have never mobilized our country on the side of the good guys to fight a drug war. But asking kids about 'Are they drug users,' so…

having fenced briefly in my youth, and it is an elegant sport, the one thing I do remember is the gentlemanly or ladylike challenge at the beginning, ``En garde,'' I would say to my friends in this House who want these surveys. This is…

AIDS education is a perfect example, the results of the survey on sexual behavior end up becoming the basis to teach schoolchildren about homosexual sex; surveys revealing not enough knowledge about sex encourage the sexperts to develop…

Here is a book that I came across. I belong to the Military Book Club, along with the History Book Club and lots of other political book clubs, and I got a little book in the mail a couple of weeks before I left for Europe on an Army…

This is just the way you described it, trying to set the record straight. Tonight there is a dinner, a Lincoln dinner in the county of Washington in Arkansas, and they asked me to tape an introduction to the dinner for them because they…

as I said a few moments ago in my 1-minute speech, I would be spending the better part of this next hour on America's most costly battle, the one that Winston Churchill said was the greatest battle in American history, the campaign in the…

today I am first up for a 1-hour special order, and it is one that I have been trying to do before my fellow Members in this esteemed body and that growing audience of 1,300,000 caring Americans across the country through the courtesy of…

There are a lot of aces in our society. There are ace pool players, there are ace marble players in the school yard, wide receiver aces that get five touchdowns in a game, but there is only one act that puts his life on the line, and that…

Let me take you back to your youth to show people that you can handle figures accurately.

I wish he was here. If I were running this place, I would have him address a joint session of Congress. That is what this man did to save tens of thousands of Germans who did not vote for Hitler who were being wiped out. All the people in…

I wish I had an hour because my subject certainly is worthy of it. Madam Speaker, 50 years ago today the House of Representatives came to a screeching halt, and so did the United States Senate. They stood in the aisles here and cheered…

I am the last Member of the House or Senate to have been in Haiti. I am the last Member of the House or Senate to have been in Somalia. I did not bring out the flag in either case. I wish I had in Somalia. I went to Somalia within a few…

Where are you getting this $40 billion, off the planet Glatu Barato Niktu? Nobody is suggesting that kind of money expenditure. We are talking about rogue missiles. I am conceding we have got a bigger problem with suitcase missiles in the…

I just wanted to see if we could get on the historical record something very important from the book of the former minister from the old Soviet Union in its dying days, from Shevardnadze, Edward, nice man. He says in his book that Ronald…

Is the distinguished and esteemed gentleman acknowledging, or am I hearing something incorrectly, that the policy is flawed as stands and should be changed?

40 years ago, in College Station, TX--Phil Gramm country--I pinned on Air Force wings of silver. Forty years is a long time. When my dad was in his eighties, he said, ``Son, your whole life will seem like 3 weeks when you get to my age.''…

Now, if I were to write a book today it would be on the premiere core central issue of all the social issues, the issue that I believe is tearing apart families in our lower income categories and families in our higher income categories…

why should I yield to the gentleman from California [Mr. Hunter]? Because he yielded to me? Why should I yield to the new conscience of the House who is pro-gun, pro-life, pro-guts, pro-defense and has been giving us a hard time and yelled…

We are going to be expecting about 12 inches of snow starting late tonight, and I am going to dig my pal and classmate, Al Gore's, book out and read about global warming under those 12 inches of snow, especially if my fireplace gives out…
