I ask to speak on the point of order, the fundamental purpose of the bill is to provide the attorney general of any State with the authority to bring a civil action to the United States district court to enjoin any person or entity that…

We go to support for Internet and other interstate commerce, and it says nothing in this act may be construed to permit State regulation or taxation of Internet services or any other related interstate telecommunications, and it is…

I would just like to say in closing, again bringing up what I brought up at the very beginning of the debate. We can talk about a lot of different things, we can throw red herrings in front of the people in this Chamber, but in the end the…

And the gentleman's actual language, the language that we have all agreed to, goes again to the Internet service and not the goods, and the goods here being alcohol.

And reclaiming my time, I just like to say I agree with the gentleman and the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Goodlatte) 100 percent, and it is very important that we allow E-commerce to flourish without new regulations or tax burdens, and I…

it is so easy for other people to come up and say we should stifle our voices and not speak our minds, when people in my district from five military bases in my district are the ones that will be dying over there. The very children of…

In response to some reckless words from the gentleman from California (Mr. Lantos) first of all, they were not crocodile tears. It was my resolution that passed on Sudan last year. My colleague can ask the gentlewoman from California (Ms…

Mr. Speaker, I want to reassure my colleagues that a lot of progress is being made on tax reform, and in case my colleagues have not had a chance to keep up this week, we have passed a budget that protects Social Security and Medicare…

I yield myself 30 seconds, just to thank the gentleman from Massachusetts for being concerned about that end of a romance. Actually, fortunately, given the choice between the arms they would be driven into, with Mr. Clinton and Mr. Gore…

It is amazing to me that the name of the Constitution is invoked when it is convenient, and protecting the Constitution is invoked when it is convenient, but for the last 40 or 50 years, members of the minority have come to this well, and…

I have got to say, I was running across the road today and coming over to speak in this House Chamber and saw a blizzard outside and one of the people that I spoke to asked me, they said, what do you think about the groundhog now? I said…

I certainly have been intrigued by the speech that we have been hearing about the census and about how we have heard words like ``partisan motives'' and ``tactics'' and basically the same things that we have been hearing for years, that…

In 1995, we talked about promises that were made and promises that we needed to keep. We talked specifically about the budget. It is hard to remember, but just 4 years ago, the deficit was nearing $300 billion. The debt was skyrocketing…

it might surprise a lot of my conservative friends, but one of my joys every day is reading The New York Times, and especially the editorial page of The New York Times. There are a lot of writers there that I do not particularly agree…

I certainly will not do that. I am simply reflecting the views of the polls. But certainly Rivera and many other journalists did not for one second see how anybody could be troubled by certain allegations against the President of the…

I must tell the Members that I have been very encouraged by the last two speeches from our Democratic friends talking about the need for fiscal responsibility. I really do believe that despite the fact that the chattering classes on TV…

I strongly support H. Res. 612, a resolution supporting our troops in the Persian Gulf. Despite strong concerns over the timing behind these air strikes, it is imperative that we stand in support of our armed forces. Many troops from my…

I thank the gentleman. Really it does fit right in with what we were talking about when we were talking about who to trust, about whether we were being misled in this debate or not and whether or not we can trust the administration…

That point the gentleman made, that really answers why we got elected in 1994. The question was to the American people, who do you trust? Do you trust politicians with your children's education or do you trust parents? Democrats for 40…

And you are right, it is, and you talk about the press. We have heard continued complaints about how the press is on a witch-hunt and that they are absolutely enraged that over 115 or over 120 newspapers have called for the President's…

What the President said in his testimony, it depends on what your definition of is is?

I have to tell you, it has been very discouraging to see for the past four years Republicans sitting on the floor, talking on the floor and balancing the budget, cutting taxes, saving over a trillion dollars for Social Security. And from…

First of all is Clark Clifford, who was a wise man to many Presidents. He helped Harry Truman in dealing with the union crisis also certainly helped LBJ in Vietnam. He was a good public servant. He was a wise man. Any clouds that may have…

I thank the gentleman. And most importantly it will not be Washington making those decisions. It will be teachers and parents and principals who are going to be empowered for the first time in 40 years to make that decision. For the life…

And I thank the gentleman, and I thank again Dr. Coburn and everybody else that has come to the floor today to debate the issues that affect Americans, to debate health care, to debate education, our firm belief that communities and…
