Well now, actually your direct tax burden--you work from January 1 to May 7, and then the indirect tax in regulatory burden, you go on to July 3d.

Well, let me give some numbers on that: 1996 taxpayers will spend $26 billion to provide welfare benefits to noncitizens which includes 11 billion in Medicaid benefits, which is basically free insurance, health care, free health care; 4.4…

Now to give my colleagues an idea of the Federal Government Washington command control bureaucracy view on taxes versus drugs, when we talked about earlier 13- and 14-year-olds using marijuana higher than ever before, I think, in history…

I wanted to go on to the next topic that Mr. Weldon and I wanted to bring up, the subject of illegal immigration. First, let me recognize Mr. Bob Ehrlich of Maryland, who is here with us tonight. Before I yield to the gentleman, let me…

I wanted to talk tonight about a different vision of America, a vision that we are not really seeing from the Washington bureaucracy, but one that this Congress is trying to form and trying to achieve and move our Nation towards. We have…

For 11 straight years, until 1992, illegal drug use fell in all categories of drugs except, for some reason, heroin, but everything else had fallen. Now, since 1992, when a lot of these drug education programs and a lot of the interdiction…

Mr. Davis is a hero to us. In his honor, I have to refute some of the things that are going on on this terrorism discussion today. I have the vote list on the terrorism bill, and many of the speakers today from the Democratic side voted…

I know that for a fact. I have been here. If they have not read the bill by now and have not been following the debate, that is not the fault of the Republican Congress. The second reason they say that is that welfare does not cost that…

One of the things that is dear to the heart of every American citizen, Mr. Speaker, and particularly Virginia legislators, because it has the first House of Burgesses, which was the first legislative body in America, Jamestown, as the…

Two other things we want to do with drugs is to have severe penalties, pressure; if you are pushing drugs to school kids on basketball courts or playgrounds, you go to jail. You stay in jail. We need to have that. Then finally for the…

Before going to the fifth topic, I want to make it very abundantly clear for the record that we would not be in a position of having a welfare bill today if not for the action of the freshman class and the leadership of the 4 of you and…

I have a friend of mine named Ted Fox, and Ted says this is what Congress' basic mentality is, that it is the three of us right here. We are walking down the street together, and one had more money than the other two. The other two could…

We thank the gentleman for joining us tonight, and we thank you for your efforts and energy that you have put into supporting the peace process in the Middle East. You know, the sad footnote of this world tragedy is as the world went on…

The Munich 11: David Berger, 28. Weight lifter. Born in Cleveland, OH; graduated from Colombia University, degrees in law, economics, and psychology. Immigrated to Israel in 1970 where he worked as a lawyer. Zeev Friedman, 28 years old…

I will close with this, an old U.S. Army tradition of the rollcall. The rollcall that they have in the Army at celebrations, not celebrations but melancholy tributes, they call the roll of their fallen comrades.

it has been said that friction between nations and people and different philosophies can often be brought down by a dialogue, getting over things. There is a very touching story that happened as a consequence of the Civil War. Atlanta was…

What I wanted to do, Mr. Speaker, is kind of maybe draw a picture of that tragic night of September 5 when the athletes were all bedding down for the evening and a young Andre Spitzer had called his wife, Ankie. They had only been married…

24 years ago this summer, this August, people from all over the world started turning their eyes toward Munich for the summer Olympics. That was one of many historic Olympic games that were held. While the world turned there and many went…

I submit for the Record additional information on the Munich 11 memorial: The Munich 11 Memorial On the evening of Sunday July 28, 1996, the Atlanta Jewish Federation will be hosting, on behalf of the Olympic Committee of Israel (OCI), a…

I have concerns. I support the Thomas bill and not the Farr bill. I have concerns that the Farr bill does not address this worker right to know issue. The people, the rank and file dues-paying union members who are concerned about the…

there is an old saying that when you cannot dazzle people with your brilliance, you baffle them with your bull. Certainly that seems to be the theme of the Democrat Party today, . . . one after the other, saying that the Speaker said…

I have been listening to them, about children and so forth. This is the same rhetoric we heard from the same group when we passed welfare reform, when we tried to change some of the other entitlement programs, to not have a complete…

Well, listen, I appreciate what you guys are doing, and I know you appreciate what we are doing. I think that what we will do, as we do have these genuine disagreements on just different portions or sections of campaign finance reform, as…

There again I think it is important that people at least have a requirement that at least 50 percent of the money come from their own district, because you can be elected from one district and then gallivant around the globe, going to…

all of us fondly recall President Clinton's first Surgeon General, Jocelyn Elders. She is the one whose valuable contribution to medicine was to suggest, and let me put this delicately, that schoolchildren quit playing with each other…
