The Public Record
They will not have a choice because we handed it to them. We gave it to them. So the Republican majority once again uses this book. And the power that they have on the majority side to close the rule, the power the people gave to them, is…
My colleagues, it is not only what we are saying, it is what is in House Resolution 4241. You can go on line, Members that have not taken a look at that, they can look in the morning, read over it, have staff highlight exactly, verbatim…
I want to read Point No. 4. This paper is still a little warm because they just carried out this act. It states: ``Provide that the amendment printed in the Rules Committee report accompanying the resolution shall be considered as…
No. Number 7, provides that notwithstanding the operation of the previous question, the Chair may postpone further consideration of the bill to a time designated by the Speaker. Now, that is the out in number 7, and I can tell you, Mr…
Let me just tell you what they are doing. Presently, they would say it is reducing the deficit, but what they are not saying within another 2 weeks, we are going to give people that make over half a million dollars a year the biggest tax…
Without a vote. Should be considered as adopted. That means it is already adopted. What are they meeting for? What is the 2 hours on both side? Why debate it? We did it because we are in the majority, and guess what, we have the power to…
All right. Here is a perfect example of what we call the Potomac 2-Step. You have just outlined a perfect example. Some may say hoodwink. Others may say bamboozle. But here in Washington we call it Potomac 2-Step. It is a dance where, hey…
Let me just, like we say, put the cookie on the bottom shelf here. Veterans Day is Friday. I am just thinking about this. Folks have put statements in the Record. Our veterans, we love them, tear drops on the paper while they are writing…
That is just an attempt by the individuals that have problems with this bill to recommit it back to committee. I mean, this is not something to change or improve or someone comes to the floor and say, you know, if you just did not do what…
That means if you have a point of order to the Speaker, that is waived, you are out of order. What do you mean point of order? If something was found in the rule book tomorrow that violates the rules of this House and I want to make a…
Can I role play for a minute for the Republican majority? What they are doing in response here in this House to what the gentleman has just pointed out that is public record, third-party validator, using the very words of these…
One hundred thirty years of a White House Chief of Staff of the Vice President of these United States indicted. We have an Official A that we now know as the Senior Chief of Staff or Assistant Chief of Staff to the President of these…
Millions of dollars of taxpayer dollars, and we have the outing of a CIA agent. We have an indictment for the first time in years.
At that particular time only 11 subpoenas for Republicans. Under this administration, we are still getting that information. Far less. The Republican-controlled Congress, thousands upon thousands of hours of staff interviews of Clinton…
Those are third-party validators that were actually CIA agents. Am I correct, sir?
It is what we are fighting against. And guess what? Those that come to the floor, and I guarantee there will be some come to the floor, and someone will give them a piece of paper, and they will say, Okay, thank you, and they will run up…
No message meeting from the Republican Conference about we need to make sure that we stand up to our constitutional responsibilities. So when we talk about a culture of corruption and cronyism and incompetence, that is not what we are…
it is once again an honor to come before the House, and we want to give thanks to the Democratic leadership for allowing us to be here one more night. Mr. Speaker, as my colleagues know, the 30-Something Working Group and hard-working…
I can say that it is within the billions, and some may say it deals with HMO administrative costs, but they will affect the delivery of services, managed care services to many of the people that are in the managed care area.
No, it is universal health care. It is something that we talked about here, and it just did not happen
And that is the reason why we are here on this floor. Many Members have gone home and they are having dinner or watching some sort of program in prime time, but we opt to be here letting not only the Members know, Mr. Speaker, but also the…
That is what you get. You are hitting it right on the head. Here is the real issue here. In the Armed Services Committee, you start talking about strategy for success or you start talking about an exit strategy or what is the strategy…
Are you a patriot. Are you with them or are you with us. It is to assault individuals from asking the questions constitutionally we are supposed to ask. To say that on the expiration date we have is a carton of milk is really it is not a…
I believe the Iraqis have universal health care. They have universal health care.
let me just on another note that I know we all share. Our hearts and prayers go out to those tornado victims in the Knight Township in Indiana and other victims of that tornado. Mr. Speaker I know that the whole House, we are in solidarity…
Politicians like Kendrick Meek
