What a fantastic way to recognize the veterans of all of our wars, but of course this, as we know, the wearing of the poppy, it all started after World War I... And what Dr. McCrae was saying to us and to future generations and to all…

Memorial Day is coming up pretty soon, and we all know the symbol of the poppy. And we passed a resolution today honoring those who have served. Our country is almost 230 years old. We have had a lot of conflicts, and that poppy represents…

The gentleman is so right. He referred earlier about the McDonald's mentality. Of course, meaning no disrespect to a great company. Just suggesting at that time "quick fix," the fast delivery which that company is so well respected for…

since May 3, the first day that seniors could sign up for a Medicare prescription drug discount card, I have had the opportunity to hold workshops at senior centers in Smyrna, Cedartown, Rome, Cartersville, Talbotton, and Thomaston, all…

I have in my hand this ``Dear Colleague'' letter, one of several, actually, from the gentleman from California (Mr. Waxman). This one is titled ``Keep Science Out of the `Political and Ideological Shredder.' '' It goes on to quote articles…

Just on that thought, the other side of the aisle always takes a lot of credit for being the party of women's rights. Yet they are certainly overlooking a tremendous women's right in regard to this particular bill, and I think the…

I rise in support of the Isakson amendment, which would seek to simply elevate the scope of the minimum guarantee from 84 percent in TEA LU up to 93 percent, the level in TEA 21. Basically, for the State of Georgia this means instead of…

I represent Fort Benning, the home of the Infantry in Columbus, Georgia, and I rise in support of the resolution to pay tribute to those Americans serving in uniform who have brought liberty to 24 million Iraqi citizens. It is their…

I am proud, of course, as a physician Member of this Congress to have been very supportive of this Medicare Modernization and Prescription Drug Act. Mr. Speaker, I think all of us realize, we are in an election year, and not just any…

there have been over 500 soldiers now killed in action in Operation Iraqi Freedom, and I rise this evening to share with the Members of this body a letter that my office received today in tribute to one of these great American heroes…

there is no question that I am sure there were no Eagle Scouts. When we are dealing with an international terrorist, a brutal, rogue dictator like Saddam Hussein and the terrorists associated with him, the only thing they understand is an…

one of the most preposterous facts is that during of the previous administration in the late 1990s, Osama bin Laden was offered up to our country, and we refused to accept him saying that he was not that much of a threat. We did not need…

Well, no question. And of course it reminds me, thinking back, of I think it was the Clinton administration had decided that they wanted to have a nicer, a nicer, kinder, gentler intelligence agency; and anybody that was ever known to have…

Well, Iraq continued to plan and sponsor international terrorism in 1999. Although Baghdad focused primarily on the anti-regime opposition, both at home and abroad, it continued to provide safe haven and to support various terrorist…

The surprising thing we have found in the biological program is a vast network of laboratories. It is now over two dozen labs that were not declared to the U.N. even though they had equipment and were clearly conducting activities that…

continuing on the line of reason the gentleman from Michigan is presenting, again Secretary of State Madeleine Albright in 1998, in fact, November 23, and this was in Time Magazine: ``Up to now we've had diplomacy backed by force. Now we…

Well, Iraq planned and sponsored international terrorism in 2002, that is what they did. Throughout the year, the Iraqi Intelligence Service, IIS, laid the groundwork for possible attacks against both civilian and military targets in the…

Just listen to former, actually Senator Gore at the time and former Vice President Gore in a speech, a major policy speech made on September 29, 1992 by then Senator Al Gore, and I quote: ``He, Saddam, had already launched poison gas…

Here are another couple of quotes. Again, President Clinton: ``We want to seriously reduce his capacity to threaten his neighbors.'' President Clinton again: ``We have learned through harsh experience that the only answer to aggression and…

Iraq repeatedly made false declarations about the weapons that it had left in its possession after the Gulf War. When UNSCOM would then uncover evidence that gave a lie to those declarations, Iraq would simply amend the reports. And…

Hussein's weapons will not discriminate if and when they are used, and therefore it is important for the region to understand that he is a threat.

Absolutely. I will finish that quote: ``He, Saddam, had already conducted extensive terrorism activities and Bush looked the other way. He was already deeply involved in the effort to acquire nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass…

I think it would be informative to people who are paying attention, and I think all Americans are paying attention and they are listening to a lot of political rhetoric during this Presidential election year and the criticism that they are…

I think what the gentleman so clearly pointed out is the previous administration made the case against Saddam Hussein. They made the case based on the intelligence that they were receiving at that time. What they did is they talked the…

Absolutely. The point I was going to make is they were willing, the previous administration, to talk the talk; but what they were not willing to do was to walk the walk. This administration has walked the walk; and because of that, this…
