Mr. Chairman, let us not involve the military in abortion. Is that a double standard? Yes, it is a double standard, and the military has a double standard in a number of areas with respect to marital fidelity, with respect to pornography…

Because if they do not do the environmental cleanups on places like Camp Pendleton, the commander goes to jail if he does not comply.

Let me rise briefly to support the Smith amendment and to say that the Mexico City policy that we propagated under the Reagan administration sent a moral message to the world. As I understand it, most of the organizations that heretofore…

Here is my answer to the gentleman. My answer is that 2 or 3 percent of royalties, if you can afford the lawyer to get them, are no substitute for getting 20 to 30 percent of the action, which is what an inventor gets when he lines up the…

The point is you have a different system. It is the publication that kills the early innovator, the entrepreneur.

As I read the manager's amendment, there is the opportunity for a small business to opt, if they have had two office actions, to either opt out of the patent system or to delay publication for 3 months, but they still have the publication…

I was reminded of Stonewall Jackson's comment that defending Harpers Ferry was like trying to defend the bottom of a teacup. Somebody placed those thousands of Americans in the bottom of a teacup right next to public roads where terrorists…

I think this bombing and the way it took place is symbolic of the way the Clinton administration conducts national defense, at least the American preparation. And the situation we placed ourselves in, that our military leaders placed our…

I want to get the same courtesy I gave the gentleman when he did not want to yield. We have a budget that is 99 percent put together by the Pentagon, 1 percent put together by the members of the defense committees and the Members of…

I am proud to cohost, with my colleagues, Travis Barrick as our guest chaplain who this morning led our prayer in the House. It is especially appropriate that Pastor Barrick could give the prayer on the eve of the page graduation, since…

Well, if the gentleman is talking about those documents that they found in the White House after months and months of not being available, I know where they were. They were right underneath the TV Guide all the time. That is where they…

Now, what does a medical savings account do? If I have a medical savings account, what will I have?

What the gentleman has described is true. As I understand, in talking to a member of the State assembly, the bill to deny illegal aliens, and this was Jan Goldsmith who represents Poway in San Diego County, the bill to deny illegal aliens…

I will not offer any one-liners, but I have to say that this situation does beg for some one-liners. You could actually get a twofer. If you are an illegal alien and you are driving to vote and you are pursued by the Border Patrol, you…

The gentleman is asking the question that many Americans have asked or believe they have answered for themselves and believe that we can defend against an incoming ballistic missile attack. I have had a focus group where my constituents…

He did have one vote and that was Douglas MacArthur. And, incidentally, I was trying to tell that story today, and our good friend Charles Bass looked up and said, ``I know. He is my uncle.'' So we do have among us the great nephew of…

You know what this is like? This is like the Democratic leadership yelling fire in a theater that is crowded with senior citizens, making them stampede toward the door. It is absolutely unconscionable.

The lawsuit, I understand it is, what, a sexual harassment lawsuit by a young lady in Arkansas. But to me that is not what is the jarring point of this. To me what is the jarring point of this is that the President would invoke the…

Well, funny you should bring that up. I saw something that I thought was an April Fool's thing. Today there was an article in the paper that said that the President was asking for protection under the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act from…

The President vetoed the bill. One of the articulated reasons was that he did not like that inhibition on what he thought were his Commander-in-Chief powers.

My colleagues, the question is what do we get for what we give? It is $556,000 per student, but we get on the average a 18-year doc for the military. It is $125,000 here if we do strictly scholarships, but we only get about 6 years of…

I acknowledge that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs has recommended that the modernization of the semiactive laser Hellfire inventory be continued, and I support the Army's proposed procurement to achieve that goal. The gentleman from…

I am telling my friend the story gets worse. We are $30 million short on basic bullets, that is M-16 ammo for the riflemen. Total, we are about $365 million short on ammunition, if we count the mortar rounds we are short, the howitzer…

In that case, I feel better. But let me just thank him, thank Bob Dornan, for all the great work that he has done on behalf of unborn children and the fact that you are carrying this fight, as you have carried it for many, many years on…

Presidents Bush and Reagan brought down the Berlin Wall with a defense policy that was called peace through strength. They built up our military, rebuilt declining forces, and they forced the Soviet Union to the bargaining table, and they…
