Absolutely. There are some other things that we have talked about that we think Congress should do to continue to decrease the price of drugs. We mentioned reimportation; we mentioned the prescription drug benefit on Medicare. But there…

here is a letter from a woman in Colorado who says that she actually is now getting her Tamoxifen from Canada. It took a little longer to get the prescription filled, but it is $160 savings every 2 months, $80 a month savings. That is a…

If my friend would yield, I just want to say that quirk is, of course, there on purpose by the liberals who like to collect tax dollars and so I just wanted to emphasize a point that the gentleman has made several times in the past.

I do not think we even need to debate this, and the liberal Democrats would even admit that the marriage tax penalty is unfair because in essence you cannot carry your tax deduction with you. When you walk down the aisle, leave your…

That is about $85 million. Now, if I as a member of the Committee on Appropriations was asked by the chairman, the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Young), ``Kingston, you got $85 million you can spend in your district,'' how would you do it…

I want to say this is not some midnight procedure. But we are in a genuine position here right now with troops on the ground in Central Asia, and as recently as in the last week a soldier was killed in Bagrahm. And we want to keep those…

We disagree with taxes. We understand that. Democrats a lot of time like lots of taxes. They like a punitive tax system. They like a tax system that does not reward incentives and does not help create jobs. This debate today in this…

I support this rule, and I will support the supplemental bill as well. I am supporting the rule and the bill because of three things, three important things that it does. Number one, it continues the war internationally against terrorism…

Let me say that this House has taken a lot of action on a bipartisan basis to try to analyze 9/11, some of it that is appropriate to have in the open, and some of it is secret. It has been bipartisan. It has also been bicameral. But we…

Thousands, it does not give a time specific, a place specific, or a method specific. So what happens is we are guessing. Okay, there is going to be something that happens to the water system in New York. Do we close down all the drinking…

I wanted to speak about this notion of an independent investigation, which I think, unfortunately, if we look at those who are supporting that, Senator Daschle, the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Gephardt), there is a real partisan question…

I wanted to say we have heard so much from the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Gephardt), Senator Daschle, and the partisans about the August 6 memo; but there was not a warning in there and it was not a threat report. What it was it was an…

I am actually here tonight in cooperation with the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Deal), who I understand to be on his way over here, but wanted to talk about an issue to Georgia that has become a big economic issue; but it is also one of…

What seems to be happening here is a political sock hop; but instead of listening to old Elvis records, we are listening to old Democrat rhetoric. We are hearing it over and over again, over and over again. The ranking member of the…

I do want to say, some Member has suggested we have sat around here all day long and done nothing. We actually as a Capitol, as Democrats and Republicans, as Representatives, commemorated police officers from all over America. As Members…

there is an old story, and a lot of Members have heard this before. A farmer wanted to borrow an ax from his neighbor one night. He went and knocked on the door and said, I need to borrow your ax. The neighbor said that he could not lend…

The 1948, Ben Gurion declares Israeli independence, five surrounding Arab nations attack. 1956, the Sinai campaign.

I do think it is extremely important that we in America set an example and let it be known worldwide that we stand behind Israel's right to defend herself, and we truly believe that the time for that statement is now on this day of…

Mr. Speaker, our next speaker is a gentleman, and we have had a good mix of people tonight. We have had Jewish, Christian, Democrats, Republicans; we have had Members that are Cuban Americans originally, and now we have a gentleman from…

That is good to point out. 1922, the British divide the mandate of Palestine. 1947, the U.N. passes Resolution 181, the partition plan.

Absolutely, and when one considers that the attacks are so random, in a coffee house, in a theater, in a crowded street, anywhere there is a group of people, the whole nation is truly under attack. It is not just the people in the Gaza…

I certainly agree with those comments. The gentleman from Florida has been a true human rights leader, not just for his part of the globe, but for the entire world. Before I yield the floor to him, though, I wanted to say something about…

Let me say this: Anything we can do to get jobs in this area is part of the welfare reform issue. So whether the paycheck comes from South Carolina or from the State of Georgia, it is good for our area and good for our people.

I meant to point out that the gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. Wicker) as a member of the Committee on Appropriations has supported consistently economic and military aid to Israel.

in closing, while the background of this conflict is somewhat complicated, the moral dimensions are very, very clear-cut. We have one side that sends soldiers to wipe out suicide bombers; the other side that sends suicide bombers to wipe…
