The Public Record
Mr. Speaker, December 7, 1941, was certainly a watershed. It was a day those who lived through it, and all who have lived after it, will never forget. America, and indeed the world, were changed forever by the events of December 7, 1941…
The terrorist attacks on this Nation that occurred on September 11 did not occur because of freedoms that we have in this country under our Constitution. They did not exist because our Constitution guarantees all of us the right to be free…
I support this resolution. I support this legislation. However, we ought to be here this evening debating a declaration of war. Somebody once said that if it walks like a duck, if it quacks like a duck, if it looks like a duck, then it is…
the grief millions of Americans are feeling today all across our great nation knows no boundaries. While I recognize the significance of the Congress making a statement for the record to condemn yesterday's attacks, I also recognize mere…
the practice of either embryo splitting or nuclear replacement technology, deliberately for the purposes of human reproductive cloning, raises serious ethical issues we, as policy makers, must address. Having participated, as a member of…
I spent a little bit of time this week, and last week also, at the United Nations Conference on Small Arms, and I can assure the gentleman that his concern is not misplaced. I am very familiar not only with the debates that have been going…

I take back my time. That is what I suspected, and I wanted to give the gentleman the benefit of the doubt and get him on record. The other side is not interested in just moving on. We are, Mr. Speaker. We are not asking for anything out…
just as with Robert Bork, Clarence Thomas and most recently John Ashcroft, Washington's blood sport of lies, rumors and innuendo is in full throttle. Aided by their liberal friends at The Washington Post, many Democrats have, once again…
the previous opponent of this amendment, the learned gentleman from Virginia, has illustrated graphically the sorry state in which our schools are finding themselves. According to the gentleman from Virginia, we ought to feel guilty…
It pains me greatly as a former member of the CIA, as a former United States attorney, as a Member of this body, though, to rise today in opposition to this bill. It pains me greatly not only on the substance of what is contained in this…
I stand before you today to oppose Representative Conyers' motion to instruct which purports to include the Kennedy hate crime language in H.R. 4205. So-called ``hate crimes'' legislation is discriminatory on its face. In a nutshell, such…
Mr. Speaker, one of the sorriest and most shameful exhibitions of a cynical political move... they have now moved the forum for their denigration and assault on the Boy Scouts of America to this Chamber. They truly ought to be ashamed…
I want to take this opportunity to salute the families, sponsors, and community leaders who will welcome these young people.
Paul Coverdell is a man of Georgia. He is a true patriot of this country, and he works tirelessly on behalf of the people of Georgia and the United States of America. But first and foremost, he is a man of God. We ask the Lord's blessing…
I rise in support of H.R. 1304, because it is a bill that is simple in concept and based on fundamental principles of fair market, and the freedom and right to contract fairly as equals on a level playing field. This legislation does…
Mr. Chairman, I have closely monitored the progress of the Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa, or ACT, and the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint, or ACF, Tri-State Water Compact negotiations over the last 3 years. I am most concerned with a proposal…
it is a wonderful pleasure and true honor along with my colleague Johnny Isakson of the Sixth District to welcome Reverend Nelson Price to this great body, the people's House, today. We also extend a welcome on behalf of the House of…
I rise today with regard to the establishment of an outpatient clinic in the Seventh Congressional District of Georgia. There are more than 670,000 veterans in Georgia, and a significant number live in the Seventh Congressional District…
this bill and its provisions for funding of the next phase of the F-22 development is supported by the Department of Defense, by the House Committee on Armed Services, the House Committee on Appropriations, and by the distinguished…
Today I salute the 1999-2000 GED graduates of Coosa Valley Technical Institute in Rome, GA.
I rise in support of the Radio Broadcasting Preservation Act of 1999, H.R. 3439. This legislation sends a strong message that there will be no interference to free radio. H.R. 3439 would require the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)…
I would like to thank Mr. Hyde for working so rigorously to come to a reasonable agreement with the Senate on civil asset forfeiture reform. The compromise is fair and will restore fairness to this process. Civil asset forfeiture is a…
I commend you for bringing H.R. 4051 the ``Project Exile; Safe Streets and Neighborhoods Act'' to the House Floor for a vote. Project Exile is an extremely successful program that drastically reduces gun violence, and needs to be expanded…
I applaud you for ensuring H.R. 3660, the ``Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act of 1999,'' was placed on this session's calendar. It is an extremely important issue we continue to address, yet can't seem to get signed into law; this is…
Politicians like Bob Barr
