I rise to pay tribute to Stanley E. Foster, who passed away in San Diego this week. Stan Foster was a giant in our community and a dear friend to all who knew him. As one of his many friends, I mourn his passing, but I also want to take a…

I rise in support of the Mink amendment. I am a strong supporter of extending educational opportunities for nontraditional students through distance learning. Academic institutions that meet current requirements are dramatically extending…

we have just begun, I believe, to comprehend the extent of our national trauma. And while we continue to grieve, we cannot let a terrorist attack bankrupt such a critical component of our economy, so we must keep the planes in the air. But…

for more than 12 months now, I have worked daily for my constituents in San Diego, the first in the Nation to be shocked by suddenly doubled and tripled electricity rates. From that time on, I have joined with my colleagues here in the…

the amendment before us is critical to the safety of California citizens. We have talked about many things, but we cannot lose sight of the fact that we are talking about safety. We have worked for many years to improve the air quality of…

I rise today to talk about a key difference between the Ganske-Dingell bipartisan patients' bill of rights and the Fletcher alternative: direct access to OB-GYN care. During my tenure in the State assembly, I wrote California's law that…

I realize this amendment will most likely not be ruled in order, but I offer it to raise awareness to a critical problem. In an effort to leverage its limited quality-of-life resources, the armed services are privatizing military family…

I wish that the President would have had an opportunity to walk into just some of the cafes, the mom and pop restaurants in our communities, because I think it was there that people really felt this shift a number of months ago in San…

I can tell you as we walked around the community, and the gentleman from California (Mr. Filner) was certainly aware of this, it was almost as if all the businesses were dying. We have not got to that point yet, but people felt that way…

Mr. Chairman, it has been a pleasure for me to join with the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Kirk) and our colleagues on both sides of the aisle on this issue. As a school board member in San Diego from 1983 to 1992, I felt like we were…

Impact Aid is a program that is over 50 years old, yet for the last 30 years Congress has failed to fund the program fully. This program is designed to offset the losses school districts suffer in property taxes when Federal lands reduce…

I rise in opposition to the voucher proposal that has just been addressed, and also to the pilot proposals that are with us right now. We have to ask ourselves why would we have a pilot program? And when we have pilot programs, we do want…

I rise today to oppose the global gag rule. It has been stated before, but it bears repeating: the global gag rule imposes restrictions on foreign organizations that would be illegal and unacceptable in our own country. In this country, we…

it is really adding insult to injury, I think, out in the West. When we have seen the energy prices going up 900 percent, people want to know where that is coming from. I think, when it comes to gasoline prices as well, I know in the San…

it is my very special pleasure to rise today and celebrate the birth of Henry Sloane Davis. Many of us have heard the expression that if we knew how great grandparenting was, we might have skipped the kids. I certainly enjoy my children…

We are here today to mourn a tragedy. In many ways, we mourn a double tragedy today at Santana High School on March 5, 2001, because, Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to join with my colleagues as we grieve the loss of two bright young students…

it is my privilege to be an original cosponsor of this bill, Improving Education Through the RRRs. Increasing the excellence of our children's education must be our national priority. This approach to funding and focusing on educational…
