American industry would like to go over there and are going over to South Africa. All I am saying is rather than send American taxpayers' dollars over there, let us send American industry over there and let them mine these natural…

Mr. Chairman, the purpose of this amendment is to hold the Federal aid that is going to be given to the South African Government to the level that was originally to be funded for fiscal year 1994, that being about $99,146,000. Over the…

Get this: $16.3 billion has been authorized and appropriated for the former Soviet Union. That is $16,300,000,000 since 1992 and 1993; $2.3 billion last year. $900 million this year. The gentleman from Wisconsin said, ``Well, it was $2.5…

He talked about Martin Luther King, but he did not mention that in India, if you are black, you will never be able to rise above cleaning streets or cleaning toilets, and if you talk to anybody in a higher caste or even touch them, they…

President Clinton wants to improve his foreign policy image and I have a suggestion for him: Tomorrow in this Chamber the Prime Minister of India will be speaking to a joint session of Congress and the President will have an opportunity to…

If the gentleman will yield, first of all, I will concede that President Clinton probably is one of the finest politicians on the stump I have ever seen. I say this with all due respect to President Reagan, and I think he is even more…

I must say I did not come down here for this, but I do think it has merit, and I will go into it with the gentleman. It is entitled, ``Eight Little Known Facts About the Crime Bill,'' the bill that passed the house today: No. 1. Encourages…

one of the disturbing things about the Whitewater investigation is that we feel like there is a thorough investigation taking place, and then we hear things that lead us to believe that investigation is not thorough. Let me give you a…

There has never been a finer Representative than Sam Hall to serve in this body. Sam and I and his lovely wife Madeline had an opportunity to take a trip abroad on one of our foreign policy problems a few years back, and I got to know them…

I would like to join my colleagues in supporting H.R. 4066, legislation which will grant duty waiver for several sports events, including the 1994 World Rowing Championships. From September 11-18, Indianapolis, IN will host the World…

I believe there should be instilled in the public, confidence in this body. If we have lunch with somebody and we want to report it, I think that is fine. I think if somebody plays golf with someone, that should be reported. That is fine…

Let my constituents judge by having me report all that. I am for complete reportability, but my constituents can judge better than that.

briefly I would say that anybody in this body who believes that a lunch would have more influence than a $5,000 contribution from a PAC I do not think is living in the real world.

I normally do not do this. I am not from California, I am not from Hollywood, and I have never met Steven Spielberg, but I want tell the Members that last night I was extremely happy that he won the Academy Award for best director and for…

To declare that July 28, 1994, be recognized as Parents Day. Whereas the values of sacrificial love and integrity are fundamental in developing the moral character essential to maintaining a strong nation; Whereas parents by their example…

I submit to my colleagues that one of the ways to get to the bottom of the problem is to find out how many illegal aliens are in the schools and being taught. If we found that out, then they could find a way to address this problem through…

As a school administrator, I would like to ask the gentleman, in your school, did the students have to have it certified that they had their measles shots and other shots?

Mr. Chairman, I hold in my hand a piece of information that is given out by the Medi-Cal organization. It is the Medicaid of California. It says, ``Medi-Cal has good news for pregnant women.'' This is printed in both Spanish and English…

In 1992 we spent $13.2 billion, that is 13,200 million dollars, on primary and secondary education for illegal aliens; $8.5 billion in Medicaid; $7.8 billion for local health and welfare services; $2.9 billion for bilingual education; and…

Mr. Chairman, it never ceases to amaze me how these debates get distorted, at least in my view. They have to get a lot of this information when students enroll in school anyhow. They have to provide birth certificates. They have to provide…

This Congress needs to take responsibility for not dealing with the illegal alien problem.

I am very proud to be a cosponsor of this amendment with the gentleman. This amendment, Mr. Chairman, guarantees that there will be a reduction in the work force. One of the problems that we felt we might have with the bill is that we…

I had some reservations about this initially because the initial cost is going to be something like $519 million. Initially there was no guarantee that we were really going to reduce the work force, because even though we were going to let…

Well, the independent counsel law was abused by Mr. Walsh. he spent millions and millions and millions of dollars and did not get one conviction.

I find it very strange that they are bringing it at this time. We had an investigation going on involving the Secretary of Commerce, Mr. Ron Brown, who allegedly took $700,000 in bribes to help lead the fight to normalize relations with…
