I do not compare them as people. What I suggest is getting elected does not mean you are a Democrat. That is my point. Hitler was elected in 1933. Aristide was elected but being a Democrat is more than just being elected. If the analogy is…

for some time now, the United States has been providing what amounts to pro bono support for U.N. peacekeeping activities. But what is pro bono for the United Nations is double billing to the American people. Under an antiquated assessment…

this is really an interesting and important debate. I am delighted that the gentleman from California, the distinguished chairman of the Committee on Armed Services, also advocates not invading Haiti. I think that would be a very serious…

Congressman Bill Natcher was ramrod straight, both in physical appearance and the conduct of his office. He was an example of what a Congressman should be. His natural reserve and formality added to his aura of stature and rectitude. He…

the problem with this legislation is it elevates to the Federal level something that ought to be left to local law. There are plenty of laws that cover demonstrations on the picket line, obstruction on the picket line, intimidation, but…

in the last five years momentous events have recast the landscape of Europe, and indeed the world. The ``Iron Curtain''--so long a symbol of the bankruptcy of communist ideology-- has been pulverized and sold off in small chunks, a triumph…

I congratulate the gentleman from Oklahoma for pressing this issue. This does two good things: First it provides a good college education for some highly motivated young people; and, second, it provides the police forces of our country…

Mr. Chairman, I want to point out that the Derrick amendment does not do a thing for the underlying bill with respect to what was in the provisions that I complained about and most of the attorneys general and the district attorneys…

Mr. Chairman, the basic rule in the medical profession was announced about 500 B.C. in the Hippocratic oath, and, among other things in that oath is a line, ``First do no harm.'' I must say that the habeas corpus provisions in this bill…

The redefining of a new rule makes for retroactivity and multiple petitions under a lower standard of proof are permissible under the Derrick amendment. This is a giant leap backwards. I am still waiting for Janet Reno's letter…

Mr. Chairman, in response to the gentleman from Massachusetts, he said it happens, innocent people get convicted. Yes; and they get saved by habeas corpus under current law. All of this 40 percent that got their convictions turned around…

and my dear colleagues, it is a delight to appear in combat, with a small ``C,'' with my friend from South Carolina, the father of the October Surprise excursion which only cost us $3.5 million, and I will say to the gentleman and produced…

Mr. Chairman, of course a young man who has an ambivalence ought to be counseled. He needs attention, care. But what this amendment proscribes is encouraging or supporting homosexual lifestyle, and that is different from giving advice and…

I just again revert to the language of the amendment offered by the gentleman from Missouri [Mr. Hancock]. It says, ``* * * shall implement or carry out a program or activity that has either the purpose,'' and I know the words that trouble…

I mean, touched with genius but a little oddly shaped. Is it true, let us say RJR Nabisco Holdings pays for my way over to Majorca to address a group of their executives over there and take 7 days in the trip and talk to people about the…

Not at all. I would hope it would not be, and I would hope that young people struggling with their own identity could get counseling under this amendment so long as the life style of homosexuality is not encouraged, is not encouraged. That…

I want to start out to praise the gentleman from Texas [Mr. Brooks] and the gentleman from New York [Mr. Schumer]. They are two extremely partisan but extremely fair Members. They are even generous. They know this subject and they have…

I am going to support this resolution, but I just want to say I regret keenly that we are giving up in this resolution the right to immunize witnesses. We should be very jealous of our prerogatives and the right of oversight by Congress…

I presume everybody that raises their arm and takes an oath to defend the Constitution understands that part of that Constitution provides for equal protection of the law. Does that not have a nice ring to it? Equal protection of the law…

I agree with the gentleman from Wisconsin completely. It is ironic that in a labor dispute in front of a coal mine in West Virginia it is worth one's life to try to cross that picket line. There have been people shot. I have the clippings…

Well, because they are zeroing in on abortion. Somehow abortion is the singular issue that raises their temperature. They do not get excited about violence on a picket line if it is a labor dispute, or if it is antinuclear people, or if it…

I do not defend obstructionism. I do not defend intimidation, interfering with people who are exercising their constitutional rights, and tragically under our law a woman has a constitutional right to go into an abortion mill and…

the very distinguished gentleman who just spoke represents the 29th District of California, and I would like him to know that under the Kasich budget his district would get $31.1 million worth of family tax relief. The Kasich substitute…

I support the so-called Armey amendment. I think it improves on the so-called Ford amendment, which I welcome, but the Ford amendment only talks about home schools, and there are private schools that are equally involved in this intrusive…

Mr. Speaker, let me just say in summary that one of the great remarks made when our country was founded about this body is, ``Here, sir, the people govern.'' We represent the people. We are a representative democracy. I do believe people…
