June 10, 1994 just over 2 weeks ago, I had a very successful surgery for prostate cancer. My surgery was performed by Doctors David G. McLeod and Stephen Sihelnik and their highly skilled staff at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. I…

Mr. Chairman, I rise today to express my strong support for the reauthorization of the Economic Development Administration of the Department of Commerce. Funding EDA is renewing America. Each Federal program should be analyzed on the basis…

recently the California District Attorneys Association, an organization which includes all of the elected district attorneys of California's 58 counties unanimously adopted a resolution expressing adamant opposition to the Racial Justice…

I grew up on a ranch near San Juan Bautista, CA. I was taught to shoot at a very young age. If the guns we are banning in this particular piece of legislation had been in existence, any hunter that used them to shoot a deer or to shoot at…

if we legislators have learned one thing since the 1992 elections, it is that deficit reduction is the top priority for the American people. Hundreds of letters and telephone calls from constituents tell us one thing: Americans know that…

I rise to express my support for the A to Z spending cuts plan I urge my colleague to sign the discharge petition on Accountability Day. May 4. The American people, and certainly the voters who sent many of us to Congress, do not expect us…

I want to talk briefly about the progress of campaign finance reform through the House of Representatives. I was encouraged when the President, during his 1992 campaign, expressed his support for limiting the influence of special interests…

a recent poll in the Los Angeles Times asked respondents if they would support an employer mandate to fund universal health coverage for all Americans even if that might cost jobs. Not surprisingly, only one in six backed the idea. Yet…

it is time for real reform of campaign finance. S. 3, passed by the Senate, was a constructive bill. As amended by this House, it is not a constructive bill. It is a sham. Let us take a moment to look at the claims made by the sponsors of…

Mario Alberto Martinez, who murdered the Mexican Presidential candidate, Luis Donald Colosio, was an illegal alien. He was also a member of a political party in California, in this case he had registered as a Democrat. A few days ago…

I congratulate my colleagues on this bipartisan amendment. Let me make one argument that has not been made. We have made all the rational arguments for years. There is one we should note. California now has a delegation of 52 Members. Ten…

Republicans, like the public and Congress, do not support taxpayer dollars being used to fund political campaigns. Even the Democratic majority does not support such funding. That is why their bill contains none. S. 3, as amended by the…

Twas the night before Tax Day, When all through the land, Not a creature was stirring, Not a soul was on hand. But the tax forms were hung by the doors with great fear; In hopes that the Democrats wouldn't come near. The taxpayers were…

Crime has become the most important issue to Americans today. The Democratic majority has told us that we will debate a tough anticrime package this afternoon to help ease their concerns. However, the truth is that anything considered…

the No. 1 issue facing the Nation today, as each of us knows, is crime. In a recent public opinion poll in the city of Long Beach the voters were asked: ``What concerns you the most?'' The first eight issues were some version of crime…

March Madness is here. No, I am not talking about the NCAA College Basketball Tournament; I am talking about the Democratic Party's strange aversion to open hearings on the Whitewatergate affair. The latest majority party escapade…

the United Nations is at it again. In the United Nations there is a resolution coming to strongly condemn the massacre of Palestinians in Hebron by one crazed soul. That might be understandable. Although, one might ask: When did the United…

it looks like we are beginning to have a real problem here. For months, we have been reading stories surrounding the strange saga of a failed savings and loan in Arkansas. We have been prepared with reports alleging financial shenanigans…

I favor most of what my colleagues have put in on the Republican side. But there has been one major error, and I want to address my remarks solely to that. That is the repeal of the Davis-Bacon Act. I can think of nothing that would…

when we think about walking through the Jurassic Park as portrayed in the book and the movie, we know we need a catastrophic health care plan. Indeed, there is a catastrophic health care plan. If there were a legislative sequel to it, it…

the die is cast. The date is set. The time has come to vote on the balanced budget amendment in the House. It is going to be on the calendar. Thanks to a successful discharge petition, Mr. Speaker, we will have a vote on this amendment in…

our current President ran on a platform proclaiming change and reform. Today I wonder: What happened to those changes? Where is the reform? Last year, the President abandoned the cause of real campaign finance reform. Now the so-called…

this is a very close call, if looked at strictly in terms of the role of this House--the people's House. Should Congress be the grandnanny of America? I think most of us would say ``no.'' On the other hand, if good people do not stand up…

I ask my colleagues to think back to a broadcast which alarmed millions about a crisis that affected the entire Nation's security. Many believed it and were pushed to panic. If my colleagues think I am talking about Orson Welles' famous…
