While 1,300,000,000 listeners and watchers of C-SPAN are watching us, I might use this opportunity to tell them something. The newly named National Security Committee--you and I preferred the old title, maybe both, Armed Services and…

these are going to be 2 very difficult years, and I am going to try and save my thunder for outside the Halls of this Chamber and for New Hampshire and Iowa and other places. But I think every American should read the front page story of…

I have sponsored an exhibit in the rotunda of the Cannon Office Building on our American prisoners, of war, with special emphasis on missing throughout the entire decade of the war in Vietnam. We have been fortunate to extend it for 2 more…

Mr. Chairman, I would say to my distinguished Democratic colleagues that everything you are saying is important and compelling. And as my good friend, the ranking Democrat on the Committee on Rules, Joe Moakley knows, I am a Molly Maguire…

I was offended by Clinton's speech last night on 15 points. The first one is new covenant. The Ark of the Covenant was the Old Covenant. The New Covenant was the Son of God, Jesus Christ. I was offended when he used that term in New York…

To my distinguished friend and colleague, Maj. Earl Kolbile, Lt. Comdr. J.J. Connell was beaten to death in Hanoi. I have had friends beaten to death in Hanoi, tortured and beaten. You have not.

I have just returned with the gentleman from Mississippi from a superb and very moving week-long trip through England, Italy, and the beaches of Normandy, and I had occasion on that trip to speak to four Air Force four-star generals, four…

I wish I had an hour special order tonight. I may get a chance to do one tomorrow to talk about some of the 50th anniversary of just astounding events in World War II that will be coming up during this district work period break when there…

I could not have been more shocked when I was standing down there with Congressman Hunter and we heard about this tragic passing of Sam. It must be months ago, but it seems like only weeks ago, that he was laying in ambush in the center…

I know I have a fundamental disagreement with the chairman of our Committee on Armed Services on whether or not it is the responsibility of the Committee on Foreign Affairs on which I served for 8 years, or our House Armed Services…

character counts. It counts for everything in the leadership of this country or any other country. This city is named for the Father of our country, George Washington, as is one of our 50 states, as is our newest supercarrier. Mr. Speaker…

I want to put this in a little context, because I spoke before high school government and economics classes at one of my high schools in my district, Laura High School, yesterday morning. And I have been back to my district the last four…

I had intended to come to the floor today and discuss Rwanda and the genocidal slaughter taking place in that tortured country. Genocide is a word that is overused, but in the case of Rwanda it fits. In fact, both sides in this horrible…

I would like to begin by setting the tone, and then turn it over to the gentleman from Indiana [Mr. Burton]. Madam Speaker, we have a press problem today. The dominant media culture, the liberal press, are beating their breasts saying…

I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 4092, the Omnibus Crime Control Act of 1994. This legislation will do absolutely nothing to deter violent crime in America. In all likelihood, passage of this legislation will put American citizens in…

When people argue a kind of knee-jerk liberal argument that this is unfair to Mexicans who want to come over to work, they haven't thought it through. It is just the opposite. Every person that we want to be a guest in our country, that we…

51 years ago and lasting for over 2 weeks, women and children were being slaughtered in the Warsaw Ghetto by Gestapo and SS troops. After a while, the Nazis brought in Waffen SS troops to take over and continue the slaughter. Today the…

And forget the other losses from crime, the lost hours, the hospital bills, the arrest problems, the police problems up the line in the cities and counties north like my county. It saves money immediately.

Nine. I just spent some time with that Liam out there in California. That Erin that I mentioned, she is going to be the first lady President, because she was born on the 200th anniversary of this House, the U.S. Senate, the Supreme Court…

Let me say, I am sure, I am convinced, I am not always right, in my approach or my style or even my priorities or when I choose to emphasize what issue. I do know right from wrong. My parents have done that for me. My schoolteachers…

one of the things that mystifies me, and I am sure it does my colleague from California, is why we are stonewalling here on the majority side to end up probably with hearings in the early fall or late summer, right as we are going into an…

Instead, I want to start by mentioning the crime that is going on in and around the village of Gorazde in what used to be Yugoslavia. We must lift the arms embargo, even if that means the number of killings will increase. This week is the…

the subject of friendly fire; the subject of hurting, wounding, and killing our own allies, our own men. Mr. Speaker, we had far too many incidents of friendly fire death in Desert Storm. As a matter of fact, it was such a high…

this is the 251st anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson. Mr. Speaker, in 1943 President Roosevelt dedicated one of the world's most beautiful memorials across the pond from where we are now, and inside the ring below the marble…

There is a common denominator. They all glorify and promote sodomy, fisting, anal sex, and homosexual conduct. And the gentleman says he is protecting the children.
