we are not going to take food out of hungry children's mouths, and we are not going to cut Social Security. That is baloney. But let me tell you something that really is happening, today. The President of the United States and the…

As I yield back, let me say this in conclusion, Mr. Chairman: This modular cell construction we are talking about is one new technology. There will be others in the years to come, and we believe every Governor of every State should be…

It a very simple and straightforward amendment designed to make sure that the latest and best technology is used in building prisons and prison cells. It mandates that the States look into this to make sure they are using taxpayer dollars…

it ought to be pointed out, and I think the gentleman did that, and that is, if they are constructed off site, it is going to cut down construction costs----

I am very sorry. I only have a half hour, but I would be happy to have a colloquy with the gentleman at a different time. But when people sell a farm, when people sell stocks, when people sell a business, that money just does not…

I find myself at least in partial agreement with my Democrat colleagues. The stabilization fund that is being used by the President to help with the loan guarantee for Mexico is not for that purpose. That stabilization fund is to be used…

Let me just say I share the concern of the gentlewoman from Ohio. We will hold extensive hearings on this subject, how it will impact on the United States, Mexico and other Latin American countries. It will not be just window dressing. We…

I think the FDIC is looking into this already, because it involves taxpayers' moneys and loans from the Federal Government. And so I think that the FDIC is going to look into this at the request I believe of Chairman Clinger and others. I…

Yes, I think that should be done. And I also believe we should seriously consider urging that an independent counsel be appointed to thoroughly look into all of these activities I have alluded to. If we can get the Justice Department and…

let me first say that I just listened with great interest to my colleague from Ohio. I think she is right on the money. I would like for my friends who are paying attention to this special order to know that this is a bipartisan concern…

Yes; I believe all of these activities should be very thoroughly documented in his report, and that is one of the reasons why I believe that the Senators and those of us in the House are asking the FDIC, and other agencies of Government to…

Yes; and I think one of the things that we should do is we should write a letter to the President, and I believe we will probably have one drafted sometime tomorrow asking the President to have the Commerce Secretary step aside while this…

Not knowing about the activities of one of the partners, so it is beyond comprehension to me that Mr. Brown would not know of these activities.

I would think that any investigative attorney would question highly a partner in a firm with these kinds of resources.

just briefly let me just say that this has bipartisan support. I obviously want to congratulate the gentleman from Minnesota for his hard work as well as my distinguished colleague who was gracious enough to yield to me. We are moving in…

I do not think this is a controversial amendment. I have cleared it with the majority and with the ranking minority member, the gentlewoman from Illinois [Mrs. Collins]. Exempting the public sector and their private sector competitors from…

the people of this country spoke last November. But it is apparent to anyone who is paying attention to what is going on in this House that the Democratic Party is doing everything they can to derail the Contract With America. They are…

I came down here tonight to talk about the Whitewater-Vince Foster-Arkansas Development Financial Authority debacle and how it pertains to the Clinton administration and in particular, to Bill and Hillary Clinton, the President and the…

Because the inflation rate got out of control, and Mr. Volcker thought he had to do that to choke off inflation, and, when President Reagan came in and cut the top tax rate, which is not talked about very much, we ended up with seeing…

I just want to say I do commend the gentleman. I remember him standing tall on this side of the aisle. I think he is one of the finer Members on this side of the aisle, and maybe in the Chamber. I think the President should have gone, and…

First of all Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the gentleman taking the time to try to clarify this. The problem that we have is that there were 30 aircraft from 6 bases that were refueled at Andrews Air Force Base and flew overseas, and we…

I do not think the taxpayers of this country want to pay for that. And they were not veterans. He did not ask any of the veterans organizations to send veterans. We talked to veterans who were wounded in a hospital in California who said…

First of all, I wish the Government of South Africa the very best. I want them to succeed. It want there to be a peaceful transition. I wish Nelson Mandela and his entire Government Mr. de Kerk, the vest best. However, creating a…

Mr. Chairman, the gentleman from Wisconsin, it seems every time he opposes someone's amendment on this side, the gentleman goes up and in a veiled way makes some kind of attack on their intellect or their goals or their desires. I think…

There is an old Chinese proverb that says if you give a person a fish, you feed him for a day; if you teach him to fish, you feed them for their entire lifetime. And it seems to me that welfare, whether it is here or around the world…
