I yield to my distinguished colleague from California.

I would ask why are we having another vote on Haiti today? There has been no change in the Goss amendment which passed this House on May 24. Is it because the vote is too close, as some have implied on the other side of the aisle? I say to…

this House has passed major pieces of legislation on truly narrow margins--the President's 1993 tax bill passed by just one vote. The ban on assault weapons, by just two votes. But those were results the majority leadership, acting in…

2 weeks have passed since the House last visited the Haiti issue. If one looks at the media spin in the headlines, it appears that the United States is making great strides there. However, behind the headlines, the substance indicates that…
