We have had success from other equality acts passed; largely, the ones in the 1960's.

We cannot do anything on the weekend, but at the very least, we should not be cutting them or reducing what they receive during those five days.

Mr. Chairman, this is an important hearing to be held.

I take that as the functionally equivalent to affirmative action, which I enforced as a part of the 1964 Equal Employment Opportunity Act.

It seems to me it is worth the work.

I don't expect anything to happen.

I want to thank you especially for holding this hearing today on the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

I think it was perfectly appropriate to have a high representative of the NAACP at--on this panel, first, to indicate that hate appears to be of a piece.

I appreciate the additional time. Tibetan children, monks, and exiles lined the streets to greet our delegation in 2008. Our congressional visit heightened attention to continuing cultural genocide and brutality in Tibet. Our delegation…

I think we are playing catch-up.

The conventional wisdom that Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats gained nothing from the delay in sending the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate is contradicted by the results. Some Republican Senators are said to be working to assure…

I thank my good friend for yielding. Congress has long been absent without leave from its constitutional responsibility to authorize war before it occurs. From Vietnam to Iran, the verdict on the War Powers Act is clear: you lose it if you…

Indeed, it is against the interests of every member sitting up here to have their own residents not counted

I want to urge every Member of Congress to undertake actions on the internet, in your own district, to try to reverse the message that was out there for two years that alarmed people.

the rationale given by my colleagues had been contrived and incongruent with what the record reviews
