Sunday night President Bush addressed the Nation for the first time since the end of major combat in Iraq. He showed the world once again, as ever, his determination, his tenacity to see this war through to its just conclusion, to bring…
it was King Solomon of Israel who said two millennia and more ago that it was the whole duty of man to fear God and keep the Commandments. Thanks to the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Aderholt), Congress has a chance to keep the Commandments…
as the author of legislation passed by Congress earlier this year and signed by President Bush known as the Truth in Domain Names Act, one can imagine my sense of satisfaction when yesterday I received a call from a United States Attorney…
Mr. Speaker, I come to this floor in the reality of representing a district, 10 counties of which are, at this hour, recognized as Federal disaster areas. The flood of 2003 saw the waters of the Wabash River and the St. Mary's River rise…
the Bible asks the question, ``From where does my help come from?'' And sometimes help comes from unexpected places, like an anonymous civilian in Mosul who brought the sadistic sons of a dictator to justice yesterday; and like the words…
there is a lot of debate going on here in Washington, D.C. over our reasons for going to war in Iraq. Yesterday, I had the privilege of meeting with some men I believe we should hear more from. They were Marines injured in Operation Iraqi…
as Director George Tenet of the CIA comes to the Hill today, the debate will go on between whether U.S. intelligence agreed with the intelligence of our honored and treasured ally, Great Britain, over a particular transaction for enriched…
I am pro-life and I do not apologize for it, but there is no choice in China. There is no woman's right to choose in China. There is a policy of forced coercive abortion and family planning. Whether or not academics who first observed it…
even here in Washington, D.C., the truth still matters. And despite what my colleague from Ohio just suggested, the truth is that Iraq had a program of weapons of mass destruction in the months and years prior to operation Iraqi Freedom…
as the American people saw on national television this morning, the Indiana flood of 2003 moves forward at a heartbreaking, record-setting pace. The St. Mary's River in Decatur, Indiana, crested last night at nearly 28 feet, an all-time…
last night the Wabash River crested at 25 feet in northeastern Indiana, but thanks to the extraordinary leadership of Mayor Ted Ellis and Sheriff Barry Story, Bluffton, Indiana, was spared a catastrophe. Their leadership and cooperation…
Only in Washington, Mr. Speaker, could Congress be prepared to add a whole new entitlement to Medicare which may cost children like my today 10-year-old daughter Charlotte $7 trillion and Democrats are holding up tombstones to say Medicare…
as Congress this week considers the largest expansion of Medicare in 35 years, we should begin with the understanding that Medicare has actually cost the American taxpayers 7 rac{1}{2} times in real dollars what it was projected to cost…
I was here, as you were, and as most of us in this institution were on the day September 11, 2001. It was a sunny day, just really very much like today. All of us were busy about our business, breakfast meetings of that Tuesday, when we…
as the Congressman who represents Muncie, Indiana, and Delaware County, home to the most famous cat in the world, I rise today for the awesome and important duty to pay a happy birthday wish to Garfield. Not President Garfield, but someone…
I was amazed to hear the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Kucinich) speak in this Chamber just a few short moments ago and use the word ``cover-up'' to describe the action that we took in the House Committee on International Relations yesterday…
the Bible tells us that pure religion is this: ``To look after widows and orphans in their distress.'' And I rise tonight, preparing to catch up with my wife and our three small children for dinner, feeling compelled in my heart to stand…
last month this Congress, with the President's leadership, undertook to pass a tax relief measure that would get this economy moving again. Today, we will continue that good work with the All-American Tax Relief Act of 2003. While some…
I believe Saddam Hussein, Mr. Speaker, who in 1991 after being soundly defeated in the Persian Gulf War admitted to the U.N. agency responsible for monitoring the cease fire that he possessed 10,000 nerve gas warheads, 1,500 chemical…
I guess your President is in some hot water over weapons of mass destruction. And that seems to be what many on the other side of the aisle and many in the national debate would like to say about the President, that somehow this…
I am pro-life. I do not apologize for it. I do not demonize people who hold a different view; but I would say respectfully to the previous speaker, to the gentlewoman, that this really is not a debate about a woman's right to choose or the…
today is a day of history and opportunity for the world and for the war-torn region known as the Middle East. I pray for the peace of Jerusalem and was yesterday greatly encouraged when five Arab leaders pledged to actively fight what they…
as the President arrived in Europe during this recent and historic journey, culminating, we hope, in progress today in the nation of Jordan, several days ago he was greeted with what can only be described as a hysterical European press…
I must tell you, Mr. Speaker, I think this is a great debate. As a member of the Committee on the Judiciary, as someone trained in constitutional law, I find the passion that I hear on this floor today for the First Amendment truly…
I oppose the Sanchez amendment. This is one of the nights in my life that I regret that I am not a woman. I am just another white, middle-aged Republican rising to speak on the issue of abortion. But I know I speak tonight for millions of…
