Henry Hyde

I certainly would like to prevent, if I could legally, anybody having an abortion--a rich woman, a middle-class woman, or a poor woman.

An unrelenting Government assault on property rights, fueled by a dangerous and emotional vigilante mentality that sanctions shredding the U.S. Constitution into meaningless confetti.

Members of this Committee know the story of how Congressman Henry Hyde changed his mind when the 1982 reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act was in play by virtue of the facts and the testimony that he saw.

I was simply going to suggest to my good friend, Mr. Berman, that while you are looking for patterns of conduct, think of the Libya example. Mr. Khadaffi might just turn in all their weapons. That is entirely possible.

I announce my difficulty in opposing my good friends, Mr. Berman and Mrs. Tauscher. They are both very learned in this field. However, this amendment is very similar to Mr. Sherman's amendment and should be defeated for virtually the same…

This is a killer amendment. If you vote for it, you vote to kill this entire initiative, because this imposes limits on India's nuclear weapons program, but India already possesses nuclear weapons and is extremely unlikely to give them up…

The more valuable our dissent into weakness, dissension and inaction, the greater the aid and comfort we give to our enemies.

On May 11, 2006, I was absent for the following procedural votes. Had I been present, I would have voted: Rollcall No. 137, on motion to adjourn, ``nay''; Rollcall No. 138, on motion to adjourn, ``nay.'' ____________________

Someone once said brevity is the soul of eloquence. I shall attempt to emulate that by saying we are happy to accept this excellent amendment.

If I may reclaim my time, I want to say to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Gohmert), this is a marvelous amendment. The spirit in which it is offered is exemplary, and it is a very difficult thing to oppose it. But I see a problem with it…

That is what I think of the gentleman from California (Mr. Lantos). Mr. Chairman, I just want to point out that substantial compliance is accorded to the Secretary of State, so if 38 of the 39 are complied with, the 39th could have been…

Well, reclaiming my time, Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman, but the Bush administration is on your side, not mine, this time.

I think the use of these cards is very misleading. It facilitates money laundering, and it is completely out of the spirit of the PATRIOT Act. Therefore, with extreme regret because I do not think I have ever disagreed with the gentleman…

I enjoyed listening to the last speaker tell us of his war exploits. I never tire of hearing them, and I find them quite fascinating. But I am bewildered. I do not quite understand why someone who wants to praise the military does not…

I think there is a little semantic difficulty on the words ``safe'' and ``safer.'' I would not say that Iraq is safe. I would not say crossing Pennsylvania Avenue in rush hour is safe. The question is, Is it safer with Mr. Saddam Hussein…

I was fascinated by the remarks of the last gentleman. We have been checking records of people who have strong views on this subject, and I find the gentleman has voted 11 times to cut the intelligence budget. That is pretty consistent…

The gentleman, I am sure, understands, because he is a good lawyer, that the unborn has legal status in probate matters where a pregnant woman is an heir or beneficiary and is pregnant and the interests of the child may be different. So a…

I agree that foreign investment in countries of the former Soviet Union, such as Moldova, can carry significant risks for Americans and others. If the governments of these countries wish to enhance their economic prospects by encouraging…

This is good government practice. It improves the bill. I do not see any reason why the administration would oppose it. I think my friend, the gentleman from California (Mr. Lantos), supports this. And so I urge the adoption of this…

I was thinking of theme songs, and I was thinking for the pro-life people, "People Who Need People Are the Luckiest People in the World."... We are talking about a particularly hideous, gruesome form of abortion called partial-birth…

The children and orphans who are affected by this scourge could have no better champion than the gentlewoman from Minnesota, and we are very pleased to accept her excellent amendment.

This unprecedented bill acknowledges our moral responsibility to address the pandemic that has already resulted in the deaths of millions. I am so proud to be a part of this legislation, this distinguished body and this country.

The gentleman is correct. Nothing this in this legislation should suggest that it is United States' policy that abortion is a proper and appropriate method for prevention of or treatment of mother to child transmission of HIV/AIDS.

History is an exciting adventure. On April 28, 1999, in this very Chamber, right where we are now, this House voted to allow the President, President Clinton, without any U.N. resolution, to take military action: Bombing in Kosovo. And…
