I submit that one of the reasons is because of the uncertainty of an adoptive parent, whether or not they are going to have litigation problems and maybe lose that child a year or two after they adopt them. Can my colleagues imagine…

last week I spoke about the new revelations that Mrs. Clinton's fingerprints were found on the billing records found in the White House. These records had been under subpoena by the special prosecutor for over 2 years, and they could not…

I wish my colleagues' frugality had been apparent when we were talking about the Iran-Contra investigation, which ended up with nobody really being convicted. Everybody was dismissed, and we spent $48 million; $48 million on Iran-Contra…

let me just say we had 20,000 American troops on the ground. We remember what happened in Beirut, Lebanon when 235 marines were blown to hell because of a terrorist driving through a barricade. After we had 20,000 Americans on the ground…

let me just say, did the gentleman know that as of January of this year that they were still sending weapons in from Iran, after our troops were there, after we had 20,000 American troops on the ground?

this is very, very disturbing, because we have been led to believe, I and all my colleagues, have been led to believe that our military preparedness is adequate for almost any eventuality. We have been to Somalia, we are now in Bosnia, we…

the reason this is very distressing to me is President Carter had the same kind of policy that the gentleman is talking about during his administration, and when Ronald Reagan came in, we had seen 10 or 11 countries go Communist because…

Newsweek magazine reported this week that the FBI had discovered Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton's fingerprints on billing records from the Rose law firm discovered at the White House in January. These billing records have been under subpoena…

The so-called antiterrorism bill infringed upon the liberties, the constitutional rights of the people of this country. While we are concerned about law and order and fighting terrorism, we do not want to violate the Constitution and hurt…

I want to vote for this bill, but I cannot vote for it without the Barr amendment in it... If the Government of the United States can through, quote-unquote, good faith tap our phones and intrude into our lives, they violate our…

This is going to expand the ability for people to be wiretapped way beyond where it is right now.

So any citizen of the United States might be subject to this good-faith exception which would allow the Government to find something out about them inadvertently through a wiretap that could cause them unbelievable problems.

Mr. Speaker, the reason I waited until near the end of the debate to take my time is because, as is always the case, there is a lot of misinformation that takes place in this debate and I wanted to make sure I clarified these arguments…

a great, great honor befell one of our colleagues yesterday. Jim Bunning from Kentucky, a very good friend of mine. Everybody here in the front row was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. This is an honor that very few baseball players…

the Presidential campaigns, particularly the Republican primary campaign, is in the full swing right now, and there has been a lot of derogatory comments made by one candidate or another about their opponents. I think we have a good field…

first of all, let me extend to our good friend, the gentleman from California [Mr. Fazio], and his family from the Republican side of the aisle our sincerest condolences on the death of his daughter, Anne. I cannot imagine what it would be…

A man named Mohammed Rahim Mosleh, an American citizen, was picked up for questioning Wednesday at a cafe by plain-clothesmen who identified themselves as agents of Jericho's preventive security police on the West Bank, now the new…

Barbara Kennelly is one of the finest people I know in this Chamber, and her husband likewise was a fine person. On behalf of the people who are not here tonight on our side of the aisle, we want to express our condolences to her and her…

Has any country outside of a NATO country benefited from the recoupment provision we are talking about? I know the gentleman is saying it is not limited just to NATO. What I would like to know is, has any other country really benefited…

Mr. Chairman, I think there has been some problem in the course of this debate. First of all, if we are going to change the law we ought to be able to point out a problem. I do not see anyone who has identified a problem that contractors…

Let me say first of all, one of the things that has not been discussed is the amount of jobs that would be lost. For each $1 billion in sales, these are big ticket items, these things cost 25, 30, 100 million a copy. For each $1 billion in…

We are the only country that has this recoupment provision in law, the only country. Our competitors subsidize their military production, their military equipment, which they sell around the world, but they do not have that recoupment…

he is not broadening the waiver authority, he is repealing the fee. He is throwing the baby out with the bath water.

I stand corrected. But I would just like to ask the question, why is there this double standard? This double standard should not occur. People who are held to a high standard in one body of this government should not be singled out when…

an unfortunate incident occurred this past week. A distinguished Member of the other body resigned from the Congress of the United States because of alleged sexual improprieties and advances toward members of the staff of the Congress of…
