John Chenoweth

I find myself opposing the demonstration fee program, and having to find myself on the opposite side of my own Chairman. However, the fact is that I think that we have had sufficient time to see how the demonstration fee program is really…

What are we afraid of? As my colleagues know, I trust the American people to make the right decision when they are well-informed. I have faith in my fellow citizens, and I urge my colleagues to vote for the Doolittle amendment. Do not…

I believe we should have truth in advertising in everything that is put across the airwaves, but the Shays-Meehan bill does not address that. So we need to leave it to the voters and their great discretion.

It seems very clear to me, we have been trying to put the solution in the hands of the bureaucrats instead of letting the solutions rest with the well-informed electorate. When the electorate understands who is trying to give an inordinate…

I do not think anyone in this body would want to see us reach that result. Douglas went on to write that ``We are a religious people and our institutions presuppose a Supreme Being. When the State encourages religious instruction or…

Lastly, Mr. Speaker, in solving this problem between churches and the bankruptcy courts, we are not intending the Federal Government to be involved in any way in overriding scripture or taking away the autonomy and the free exercise of…

And, Mr. Speaker, it is my understanding of the intent of H.R. 2604 that we are not including churches in the same legal classifications as 501(c)(3)s, which are an artificial creation of the State, while the churches are a creation of…

With the passage of H.R. 2604, there is no opportunity to have the Federal Government define tithes or to place a floor or a limit on the amount of tithes that a parishioner can give to his or her church.

Reclaiming my time, it would impact all of the public lands on one-third of the Western continent.

It is not the normal course, as I understand it and as most Americans understand it. It is a big disappointment.

In the West, in the areas where it will affect people, human beings, the consensus is very strongly against this roadless policy, very, very strongly against it.

I do want to say that with this fee increase, we really will be succeeding in running our cattlemen off the land. We have got to remember, this is the part of America's heritage and culture they write songs about, they copy their styles of…

A 14-year-old young man by the name of Nathan Zohner engaged in a contest entitled, ``Find Out How Gullible We Are.''... Mr. Speaker, this perceptive young man has shown how science can be literally manipulated to fit the whims of social…

Our soldiers need dependable, high resolution flat panel technology in order to display the rapidly growing quantity of battlefield information. These displays are an essential interface between man and machine to permit rapid, efficient…

H.R. 1020 adjusts the boundaries of the White River National Forest to include all national forest system lands within Summit County, CO, which are currently part of the Dillon Ranger District of the Arapaho National Forest. The White…

The Boehlert amendment simply codifies into law that which is already being used by rules and regulations, and it is not working. The issue is, when are we going to put humans and human property above the lives of a beetle or a snail or…

I thought this was a House that put together laws that represented the people. I thought there was a phrase once said that laws were to be made of the people, by the people, and for the people. It seems that this debate is trying to tilt…

I just experienced my mother passing away. And you know, it is very interesting that, while this was a tragedy in our personal life, there was a silver lining to this cloud; and that was the discovery of hospice. While this Nation has…

I want to quickly clarify my position. If the President puts our sons and daughters in harm's way and under the United Nations control, he must get congressional authorization. Chairman Spence's manager's amendment does clarify that and…

2 weeks ago, the Department of Health and Human Services released a shocking report on teenage drug use. Here are some of the findings: Overall drug use for 12- to 17-year-olds, from 1992 to 1995 is up 78 percent; marijuana use up 105…

This issue is not an issue that is antiwoman. I am a freshman woman, and I want the Record to show that this is not an antiwoman issue. This issue is plain and simple. This is an issue that asks the question do we want Federal taxpayers'…

In what has been called a desperate distraction of men uncomfortable with women in the workplace, two Democrat male Members of Congress verbally assulted two female congressional aides yesterday in a committee hearing. What was the reason…

Then is it the gentleman's suggestion then if ecosystem means all of this, that it is the responsibility of the Federal Government of the United States of America to manage and fund and control all of this?

I have watched with great admiration as the gentlewoman from Ohio has patiently explained to us and the American people much that we need to know... I was shocked to realize that they, too, were a part of this bailout. It was my…
