The Public Record
I have a staff member whose file was pulled. I want to give you the background, because when you think about this political operative left over from the Al Gore campaign, this Livingston and Marceca fellow, you think that they are checking…
I want to mention to you on the subject, I sit on the Appropriations Subcommittee, Treasury, Post Office, White House. We fund the White House and we put in an amendment that said that if you worked for the White House, that unless it…
as I went back through the Congressional Record and looked at what the Democrats had to say about this bill last year, it was just absolutely ridiculous, offbase political rhetoric, just like we are hearing this year: war on children…
I wanted to address something that I think is dear to your heart, and that is the label that Republican freshmen have been getting hit with about being called extremists. Your class came to Washington with a spirit of reform and yet the…
in 1994 Republicans were elected to the House in great numbers, 73 new Republican freshmen. They came to Washington with lots of reforms in their mind. But since then they have been called extremist, mean-spirited, callous, fanatical and…
Another statistic I have heard is that the real Independence Day is July 3 instead of July 4th, because from January 1 to July 3, that is when you are working to pay for all the cost of the government at every level plus the cost of…
Is it not true that two of the most liberal Democrat leaders, the gentleman from Missouri, Dick Gephardt, and the gentleman from Michigan, David Bonior, voted to ban these partial birth abortions?
what we are talking about is use of Government telephones, copying machines, fax machines, E-mail, internal mail distribution systems, electronic bulletins and so forth, all funded with taxpayer dollars and yet being used not for their…
today I submit the latest ``Say what, Mr. President?'' and the credit goes to Clinton appointee Richard Rominger who last night proclaimed to the Georgia Farm Bureau that, and I quote, ``During this administration, the national debt has…
I hate to interrupt this great letter but are you saying to me that a war hero, right after Memorial Day, was depicted by the U.S. Army for being careless and irresponsible because he was trying to save children's lives?
Last night I attended a Georgia Farm Bureau dinner in Washington, and the speaker was Clinton appointee Richard Rominger. Now he was speaking on accomplishments of the Clinton administration. Well, as did everyone else in the audience, I…
This was a woman whose husband went because of the Commander in Chief sending them into harm's way.
It has been 60 years since there has been a status quo shakeup in Washington, and we need to change this liberal command and control bureaucracy and return power back to the people, back to the local governments so that we can do a more…
That is one reason we passed the truth-in-sentencing laws, as the gentleman knows, because as of a few years ago, the average criminal was only serving 35 percent of his sentence. And we are now saying if States want new Federal money to…
I wanted to make a point about this fraud and abuse. Right now Medicare does not pay people like your father with that stack of bills, if he finds out that three or four of them are erroneous, he does not get any kind of reward for that at…
we wanted to talk tonight in response to some of the things that have been going on in Washington. I have with me the gentleman from Minnesota [Mr. Gutknecht] and the gentleman from Arizona [Mr. Hayworth]. I think our first topic that we…
let me start off by saying I have got great news for Ethel in San Rafael, California and Vern in California also. The Republican plan increases their Medicare from $190 billion to $304 billion. Good news.
Our budget increases Medicare from $5,000 to $7,000 per person in anticipation of new enrollees, so that includes new enrollees. Again, I will be happy to send that information to your constituents and work with you on a bipartisan basis…
I am surprised, as I listen to these Democrats, that they are against it because it was President Clinton's idea. I wanted to make sure that folks know we are doing exactly what President Clinton called for and that no Democrats have…
as I travel around the first district of Georgia I meet a lot of people--in Savannah, Brunswick, Statesboro and also in the smaller towns like Odum, Reidsville, Glennville--and basically wherever I am having town meetings, they are always…
A small business, independent business person raised his hand and said: I tell you what. I do not want the government to be my partner. In fact, the less I see, the less I have to do with the government, the better for me and for my…
It is $2,500, $2,000, $4,000 deductible. So anything that you do not spend goes into your pocket. There is a woman in Tampa, FL, who had breast cancer. She could not get the information she needed through the traditional health care…
And, I want to point out, vetoed the provision in welfare reform that said no permanent welfare benefits for illegal aliens, and that then was vetoed by the President.
We had a neighbor of mine, unfortunately he passed away also, named Julian Bono, and he did the same sort of thing is Savannah, GA, networking with other people who had cancer, passing on information, passing on treatments about doctors…
Which is more money than we spent to win World War II. And at the time that most of these programs started under the big Government expansion programs of Lyndon Johnson, the poverty level was 14 percent. Today it is about 14 percent. So…
Politicians like Jack Kingston
