I challenge my colleagues to work towards its passage.

I am proud of my strong environmental voting record.

Earth Day has been a catalyst for the enactment of some of our nation's most important laws.

Earth Day matters. It raises the awareness of Americans and is a catalyst for positive change.

As a member of this body, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge Earth Day.

I join the gentleman from New York (Mr. McHugh) in bringing to the House floor H.R. 4616, legislation naming the United States Post Office located at 3813 Main Street in East Chicago, Indiana, as the Corporal Harold Gomez Post Office…

I simply want to echo the sentiments that have already been expressed by all of my colleagues, that Lou Stokes has no peer when it comes to service, dedication, and generosity. We have already heard of all of his accolades. I guess Kipling…

While I understand that not every project that is requested can be funded, the AGD project is an extremely important one. Congress has already recognized the critical role plant genomic research plays in the improvement of crop production…

I rise to support the Spratt Amendment because it is a rational approach to meeting the needs of our society. For example, it provides for 75,000 new teachers, it allows people under 65 to buy into Medicare, $1.2 billion for child care and…

I rise in support of the Bishop amendment. I do so because I have basically been taught that the true mark of statesmanship is to seek common ground and find it, and then proliferate it and show it so that others can see it. I believe that…

Mr. Chairman, last year we passed a welfare-to-work bill, knowing that that bill was not the sound bill it should be for those who are moving from welfare to work. This amendment that my friend has put on the floor is one that will help us…

I want to thank her for the kind of leadership that I think she displays and continues to display in this House of Representatives by bringing before the American people on a daily basis issue by issue, making the greatest use of herself…

It seems as though we are beginning this year on the same note as last year but with a different tune. Today we are going to vote on House Joint Resolution 343, an effort to deny the legitimate payment of bills incurred by the President's…

I urge my colleagues to oppose this insidious attempt to use, or rather misuse, the power of impeachment.

Because even though we have experienced a tremendous amount of success, there are still 43 million medically underserved people in this country, and these are people who do not have adequate access to health care services and often have…

I rise today to commend the gentlemen from Arkansas, Marion Berry, Asa Hutchinson, Vic Snyder, and Jay Dickey, for their eloquent and passionate remarks in commemorating the 40th anniversary of the integration of Central High School in…

I am amazed at the continuous efforts to cut occupational safety and health, efforts to scale back protection for workers in dangerous, hazardous, and unsafe situations, efforts to take back and turn around those hard-won gains which have…

Not very often will my colleagues find me taking a position that is contrary to that of my colleague from Chicago. But I rise in opposition to the amendment to cut OPIC. I do so because we are a pace setter. We are a Nation that is known…

I agree with that, because if it is Hispanics today, Latinos, then it is African-Americans, Scandinavians, Greeks, it is somebody else tomorrow. We all stand with the gentlewoman from California [Ms. Sanchez] and want to make sure that she…

I have been told that there is a principle which states that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. It seems to me that we ought to be trying to find corruption and ferret it out, not create an opportunity to further it…

Now the USIA and the International Broadcasting Bureau are in the process of determining exactly how to carry out that vague mandate. They have been directed by the White House to move not just the headquarters but the entire broadcasting…

Mr. Speaker, this has taken a lot of work on behalf of a lot of people. I thank the gentlewoman from the District of Columbia [Ms. Norton] for her help in helping bring the city to the table; Mike Rogers, the Mayor, and the entire council…

I rise to oppose this with a number of other members of the Committee on Science on this side of the aisle and the gentleman from New York [Mr. Boehlert], the gentleman from Tennessee [Mr. Wamp], and the gentleman from Oklahoma [Mr…

Mr. Speaker, it is important for the House to know that Dr. Morgan and her daughter are, frankly, gagged right now from even communicating with Members of Congress or lawyers in the United States because a New England gag order has come as…

This does not require the President, as I understand it, to support any tax cut. He could have full funding for Medicare. He could add money to Medicare over and above what the law allows, add more money to the environment, add more money…
