The Public Record
it is indeed a privilege to come back before the House as representative of the majority party. And as I was sitting and listening to the tail end of my good friends on the other side of the aisle with their recitation of doom and gloom…
yesterday we came together to remember the day that will define our generation. September 11 was a day that forever changed the way we look at the world. We learned about the amazing strength and character of the American people. During…
I am pleased also to join Mr. Davis and my good friends from Georgia, Mr. Scott, and the author, Mr. Lewis, in urging all of my colleagues to support H. Res. 875.
is it not time that we in Congress take real steps forward to increase the number of Americans with health insurance? The latest Census Bureau report shows us that there are over 46 million Americans without health insurance coverage. To…
I want to commend the leader and the chairman for their hard work on this. I rise in support of H.R. 4. Mr. McKEON. At this time I would like to yield to my good friend from across the aisle, the ranking member of the Transportation…
everyone understands that we have a real challenge in health care with over 45 million Americans without adequate insurance coverage. And Washington is in a logjam with a national solution elusive. Yesterday, we took a great step in…
I appreciate those comments so much, and I appreciate you reminding me about the Deficit Reduction Act. It was in my notes, and I wanted to make certain we pointed that out. We had that bill passed earlier this year in January. It would…
some have asked why the House will be holding hearings around our country about illegal immigration. Well, the concise reason is the out-of-touch Reid-Kennedy Senate bill. The Senate passed legislation that clearly flies in the face of…
can you imagine having thousands of enemy rockets rain down on American soil, on American cities? How threatened would we feel? This is exactly what Israel is facing today again. The recent, unprovoked attacks on Israel are deplorable…
thank you. I would like to engage in a very short colloquy with the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Sensenbrenner). Do you agree with me that nothing in this legislation should be construed to allow the Supreme Court to say who is or who is…
I strongly support the undisturbed right of all Americans to freely exercise their right to vote. I support the extension of the Voting Rights Act (VRA). H.R. 9 is not extension of the Voting Rights Act. This is not your parents Voting…
I rise today in frustration over the recent leak by the New York Times of a vital national security program. In a time of global war, this leak is a disgrace to all Americans and especially a disgrace to those risking their lives every day…
sending troops to control our borders has already proven to be successful. Instead of being buried on page eight, this should be front-page news. The press should know that the story is no longer about what is happening here in Congress…
today I proudly rise to honor and congratulate some spectacular student athletes from Georgia's Sixth District. This month, two of our hometown high schools won a State baseball championship. Marietta's Lassiter High School and Roswell's…
today I rise and ask the House to recognize and congratulate an outstanding Atlanta area small business that has proven to be a model for community leadership and responsibility. The MetroAtlanta Ambulance Service was recently named the…
international terrorism is an issue of life and death, not just for each of us individually but for our Nation and our way of life. We did not want this fight. We didn't invite this fight. We did not wish to engage in this battle. However…
A couple of points you make are so important for this discussion. One is about the quality and nature of our enemy. It is unlike any enemy we have ever faced because it is not an enemy who is attaining ground or territory. This is an enemy…
I appreciate so much your participation tonight, and I join you in looking forward to our discussion and our debate on Thursday. We will spend the majority of the day here in the United States House of Representatives talking about the war…
what an honor it is for me to stand here today and recognize three outstanding soldiers and citizens, Sergeant Kenneth Kraus, Staff Sergeant Jacob Long, and First Sergeant Michael Matthews. These brave men represent the best our country…
I want to take these few short moments and bring a little more positive perspective, a brighter outlook, and hopefully a little more unifying message than we have just heard and, frankly, than we often hear in the United States House…
there are some agreements here. One is that this is a long-standing discussion and battle and it is in ongoing litigation in the court. It is a battle between some States, but I do not know that there is not a whole lot of agreement…
Or you go into junk yards, they are scrapping metal just to give them some body armor. That is despicable. That is never going to happen again. We are going to make sure of that.
the evidence is crystal clear: 32 straight months of job growth, 5.3 million new jobs created since August of 2003, the stock market within sight of a record high and homeownership at an all-time high. These are all good things. So how…
You are absolutely right. Apparently, so many of these gangs have a rite of passage that they institute for their members. That rite of passage is often very violent. Sometimes it is the murder of a member of the police force or a member…
Thank you so much. So much of what you have just said makes sense. You talked about common sense. We could call this suburban agenda the common-sense agenda really, because when moms and dads sit at home and they try to figure out how to…
Politicians like Tom Price
