Let us also remember that over the past decade, American exports to China have quadrupled to $14.3 billion.

Mr. Speaker, this bill, which passed both the Subcommittee on Immigration and Claims and the full Committee on the Judiciary during the 105th Congress, and passed the full Senate this year, will pay $10 million and $9,500,000 respectively…

Mr. Speaker, I want to speak in support of the resolution to honor the accomplishments of Colonel Eileen Collins, NASA astronaut. As my colleagues know, she recently commanded the successful STS-93 shuttle mission. As such she was the…

Approximately 400,000 American jobs depend on trade with China.

The continued extension of normal trade relations (NTR) to China will do much to benefit the United States domestically, while engagement with China remains the most powerful means of advancing our interests abroad.

Yet only further engagement with China will allow the United States the opportunity to advocate on behalf of its own interests and those of the Chinese people.

As we engage China economically, we should work to engage China in a policy that allows Tibetan peoples, cultures, and beliefs to flourish.

China also plays an extremely important role in guaranteeing regional security and stability from the Korean Peninsular to the Indian Subcontinent.

Mr. Speaker, I am happy that we are here today and about to approve this conference report with what I'm certain will be a very wide margin of votes in support. Just a week ago, I was not at all confident that we could achieve what we are…

I am privileged to join the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Loretta Sanchez) in introducing this resolution in honor of Professor Doan Viet Hoat. It is a rare individual who is willing to sacrifice their own personal freedom for the sake…

I do not believe we should continue the authority granted the managers by the lame duck 105th Congress. I do not believe we should approve managers or any of the expenditures they have requested, and I will tell Members why. Since we voted…

the Republican Party in this House has made a tragic decision for the Nation and a decision that will permanently damage our constitutional democracy. The President of the United States had a sexual affair. That was wrong. Then, like many…

Mr. McINTYRE. Mr. Speaker, there are three issues in this matter before us tonight. First on the question of values, the President has clearly failed. Second, on the question of law, the Constitution says that regardless of what the…

we all know that we do our best work in government when we work in a bipartisan matter and we work in partnership with each other, and that is why it is so important when we look at funding for 100,000 teachers that we do it the smart way…

in l953, as sort of the cutting edge of the baby boomers, I started kindergarten, and as the children of the World War II heroes entered school, what happened? All over the country they built enough schools and they made sure there were…

many of us have labored very hard to craft a plan that would allow us to deal with the referral of the independent counsel in a way that is focused, in a way that is fair, in a way that is prompt and efficient, and, most of all, in a way…

I want to join in the chorus of voices paying tribute to my good friend and colleague, Vic Fazio. With the end of this session, Congress will lose one of its brightest lights. Perhaps, the best thing I can say is the simplest--thank you…

under our constitution, the House of Representatives has the sole power of impeachment. This is perhaps our single most serious responsibility short of a declaration of war. Given the gravity and magnitude of this undertaking, only a fair…

Cities and counties cannot afford an undercount in the next Census. I know that from personal experience. Before coming to the Congress 3 years ago, I served on the Board of Supervisors for Santa Clara County for 14 years. We worked hard…

I urge Members to support S. 1759, which is the companion bill to H.R. 3843. This measure will permit the American G.I. Forum of the United States to receive a Federal charter. The American G.I. Forum is a national organization of Hispanic…

Mr. Speaker, when the Subcommittee on Immigration addressed this issue, reservations were expressed by some. But I think the bill that is before us today reflects hard work, certainly by the chairman of our committee, and by the author of…

I support this legislation, which gives the Attorney General the authority to test prison inmates for the human immunodeficiency virus in the event that there is reason to believe that an individual has come into contact with the bodily…

I would reiterate that all of the concerns expressed by the minority in terms of respecting privacy rights, use of information, and the like have been incorporated. I think it is because of that that the broad bipartisan support of this…

I support this legislation limiting an individual's ability to bring into the U.S. from abroad a 90-day supply of prescription medicines that are allegedly for personal use. In reality this loophole in the law has allowed individuals to…

this legislation attempts to balance two very important public interests, giving the office of the United States Trustee the ability to oversee the administration of bankruptcy estates, and to ensure that private trustees perform their job…
