The Public Record
We have CIA agents being pointed out by people in the White House who have the highest national security clearance to know what is going on throughout the world, getting daily briefings. We have a situation where we had Hurricane Katrina…
I am just so sorry. I know we have two other colleagues here who are very respectful Members of this body, but I just cannot let this moment pass. The fact that we are forgiving from the beginning, we forgave the money that we gave to Iraq…
it is what we are all doing, making sure that not only the Members know exactly what they are doing when we come in and push the red and green button, and endorsing or not endorsing an idea or a plan. I think it is important for us to not…
I will tell my colleague right now, higher copayments, higher premiums, and benefits are going to be reduced. That is the bottom line. It does not get better for the seniors; it gets worse. It gets better for those who are on the side of…
I am going to tell you that it is important that we do start asking some of the tough questions, that we do start pressing the card.
National security. National security. It is not lying about, well, you know, I flew to Chicago and I really did not have Federal business and I am sorry, the ticket was $450; I need to go to an ethics course. You do need to go to an ethics…
Hello, ethics course? Hello. No. Like I told you once before, I do not blame the special interests for getting what they get because they do not get it unless the Republican majority gives it to them, because they are in the majority. Many…
With that, we want to thank the Democratic leadership for this block of time, and I yield back the balance of our time. ____________________
And it is very interesting because Members are going to be trying to run out of here and catch planes and falling over each other to go march in a parade with those that have laid down, literally put their lives on the line, lost limbs…
let me just say this. I will not say the Republican Study Committee, I will say the Republican Conference. I mean, the bottom line is, we would not have the philosophy of a few come to the floor, pass the Budget Committee, and possibly a…
those are the same constituents and my constituents that are going to get hit by the Medicaid cuts, the same veterans that will be paying more on their copayments, waiting longer for their services. Those are the same individuals that the…
we are winding down here. There is one statement, and then we are going to close because we have a minute.
These are children. It goes beyond empty tummies. It goes down to kids prepared and ready to learn regardless of their economic background. It is not their fault. It is not their fault that they are in a poor household and they are…
All of these Presidents combined could not do as much as this administration has done as it relates to borrowing from foreign countries to support mainly tax cuts that we cannot afford for billionaires and millionaires and special…
The next one is: The committee is not sure they have those records. They could be archived. And the fourth one: The committee does not have records for previous years, and previous records may be at the National Archives. Now I am going to…
One of our third-party validators. ``Outing of CIA agent. Louisiana can't pay Katrina and Rita bills.'' But, meanwhile, folks are running around cutting the very programs that help folks in Louisiana and Mississippi and other affected…
How do we know that? From the notes of the chief of staff of the Vice President of the United States that said the Vice President told him in the indictment. I mean, that is not what we are saying.
Let me share something very quick, because I want to make sure that Members, staff, everyone understands what is going on, Mr. Speaker. The gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Ryan) is hitting the nail right on the head, hitting it with the hammer…
And Asian. They are suffering, and we have to give them voice. We have to give them voice, sure, when we start outing CIA agents, when we start seeing the majority side looking the other way. Even though they know what is going, they are…
You talk about third-party validators, but if I may for a moment, the reason why the alleged activities that have been identified in this indictment and alleged activities that are in the stacks of these papers today, just today, this is…
Just to add to what I was saying before the gentlewoman made her statements, October 7 the board was open for 40 minutes to pass the ``energy bill,'' as relates to home heating. Special interests were able to get their profits out of that…
I am coming right back. I am not going into Iraq. This is an example. That is fine that the Senate came together, three Democrats, three Republicans, who will come together with a report on the intelligence piece. Okay. Okay. Do we have a…
It gets better. Let me just tell you. Because it is so detailed between September 19 and September 29, the Congressional Research Service spoke to four House committees and was given the following response. {time} 1215 This is when you…
Meet the Press,'' syndicated affiliates, one of the most respected journalists in Washington, D.C.
I can tell the gentlewoman that, as it relates to national security, protection of our homeland and as it pertains to this case, you have the question of a CIA clandestine agent whose job was charged with finding out more or tracking down…
Politicians like Kendrick Meek
