The Public Record
this past week in a press conference with the President's Presidential press secretary, we heard him say that, ``Prime Minister Rabin is calling. I think it is fair for us to say because he is upset and alarmed by the action taken in the…
just over 14 years ago, Ronald Reagan was sworn in as President on the West Front of this building. His remarks that day were brief, but exceptionally stirring and profound. I recall one paragraph that is as timely now as on that…
this is an extraordinary day for those of us who have held dear to the Reagan-Bush axiom that the Federal Government is too big and it spends too much. For too long Government has been incapable of managing its finances in a responsible…
There should be an investigation of Mr. Murdoch. I appreciate your point. ____________________
Mr. Speaker, while it is tempting to debate the contents of the unfunded mandate bill at this time, this debate is actually on the rule. The debate we begin this morning shows that the new majority continues to keep its promises that we…
sometime just before the campaigns got in earnest, a former majority whip of this House, Tony Coelho, was brought in to help the Democrats win. He said this: Ideas are not the issue. Candidates can't get reelected if they run on who they…
I would like to further ask if any of these ethical questions were raised about the book, ``Earth in the Balance,'' which yielded a $100,000 advance to its author, a former Member of the other body, and $670,000 in royalties. Where were…
Mr. Speaker, I appreciate being given the time to speak on the important issue of term limits for committee chairmen. It is an issue in which I have been involved for over 2 years and am pleased that we now have the opportunity to consider…
it appears that the Clinton administration is getting ready to unveil its welfare reform plan in the next 2 weeks. It is about time. When President Clinton was still candidate Clinton, he promised to end welfare as we know it. Let us hope…
the United States is the unquestioned leader of the world. We are not the global police--responding to any urgency with sirens blaring. And under the chaotic Clinton foreign policy, we could end up looking like the Keystone Kops…
the President tried to provide the world a clear road map to his foreign policy during an international townhall meeting. Unfortunately, according to the latest poll, most Americans believe the President is still lost. Some 53 percent…
yesterday, Mrs. Clinton spoke emotionally about the need for health care reform. After hearing heartwrenching stories from families who had spoken about high costs and cancelled insurance, she asked, ``How could it be that everyone doesn't…
it was fascinating to hear the lady from Connecticut stand up and talk about the A to Z spending plan being phony spending cuts. When you really get serious in Congress and make honest-to-goodness cuts from last year's spending, it is…
as a member of the Banking Committee, I feel compelled to express my concern about the decision to cancel the semiannual RTC oversight hearing, which was mandated by law to have been held by December 3. Mr. Speaker, this is the people's…
I rise today to respond to a charge by the President that Republicans are fomenting hysteria regarding the Whitewater affair. That, of course, is ridiculous. Sure, before the special counsel asked that we do not, we would have liked the…
it is no wonder the Clinton administration is trying to sell their health care reform plan as the only game in town. The President's plan is an unworkable, unaffordable, and incomprehensible bureaucratic nightmare. The more you know it…
We will not get to choose our own doctors. And it is going to cost more. Doesn't sound too good, does it? But wait. It gets worse. Tens of thousands of new, Government health care bureaucrats come with the deal. And a job-killing payroll…
on the issue of health care reform, it is clear that we are going to do something this year. It is clear this House is going to act to make health care more affordable and more available. But there are more than just two plans. The Cooper…
