I rise to inquire about the coordination of disease prevention and health promotion activities at the Federal level. H.R. 2127 eliminates explicit funding for the activities carried out by the Office of Disease Prevention and Health…

there have been few situations in modern history that have been as cruel and unjust as this, when people who could have changed it chose not to. The United Nations designated six areas in Bosnia that were to be safe enclaves. In fact, when…

I greatly respect the point of view of the ranking Democratic member of the Committee on International Relations, which is the point of view of the President of the United States, that we ought to continue negotiating. I understand the…

I was recently in Kosova. It is an unbelievable situation. There are 60,000 paramilitary people, military officers, policemen, who are controlling 2 million Albanian Kosovans. They are controlling them in the most brutal way possible, with…

speaking of behaving responsibly, would the gentleman explain what he is talking about, about a Moslem leader training with Qaddafi? I know that not to be the case. I do not know who it is you could possibly be referring to.

does the gentleman know of any State Department employee who flies first class, who has flown first class in a commercial airline in this administration?

I would suggest to the Chairman that is the reason for the inquiry because that may very well take up the full space of the 1 hour and 45 minutes which means that there would be two Republican amendments. There would not be the opportunity…

In his directive granting the United States Information Agency independence, independence which would be eliminated by this bill, President Eisenhower empowered it to explain imaginatively the correlation between United States policies and…

this is not a good tax-cut bill. In fact, there are two tax shelters within it which will make all the other tax shelters even enacted by this body pale by comparison, with regard to the abuse that they will enable people to take advantage…

Mr. Speaker, where is the justice when we take an average of $5,000 from each of America's civil servants in order to pay a tax cut of about $1,000 over the next 5 years to America's taxpayers? Where is the justice to increase taxes on…

it is my recollection that this body passed legislation earlier this term, in fact, on the first day of this session, that required that any tax increase be passed with a three-fifths vote of this body. Since there is a tax increase to be…

It would appear to me then that clause 5(c) of rule XXI is meaningless, since we have never changed any income tax rate, increased it or decreased it, without first striking the prevailing tax rate and inserting a new tax rate. I…

in my opinion there are two Federal income tax increases in this bill before us. There is an indirect tax increase on Federal employees of $4,525 over the next 5 years through a 313 percent increase in their retirement contribution, and…

the most egregious, unfair aspect of the tax bill that will come before us deals with the people who process our Social Security tax, who patrol our borders, who operate the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and who in fact do so many…

as a father of a 5-year-old and a 3-year-old, I got to tell you that when you rely only upon the commercial sector to produce programming that is in their interest, you do sacrifice quality and content. I doubt any of you have the…

They will see their retirement contribution requirement increased by about 12 percent, from 8 to 9 rac{1}{2} percent. On the base that is about a 12-percent increase. They will see their accumulated retirement reduced by 2 percent. So we…

What is being attempted tomorrow is not an attempt to fix the retirement system. It is an attempt to accumulate $12 billion in cuts in order to finance a tax cut for other Members on the backs of Federal employees who, in effect, would…

I do not know if there are others of my colleagues who have been stockbrokers at some time in their life, but I was for 10 years. I have watched what has happened in the securities marketplace. The gentleman from Michigan [Mr. Dingell] is…

Amendment offered by Mr. Moran: Page 14, line 6, insert the following new section (and conform the table of contents accordingly): SEC. 14. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT ASSISTANCE IN BRINGING TO JUSTICE ALIENS WHO FLEE PROSECUTION FOR CRIMES IN THE…

the first election of any consequence, maybe the only one, but there may be some that I have not heard about, but the first election of any consequence since November 8 occurred this week, and guess what, a Democrat won. Fairfax County is…

Mr. Chairman, we have had a constructive debate, and many of the points that our colleague from California emphasized have been brought up in the course of amendments. This side is disappointed that many of those, all of those amendments…

no one in the 21st century even, which is about to occur within another 5 years, no one is really going to remember our faces or our names or even the words that we utter here on the floor of the House. But they will remember what we did…

the Spratt-Moran amendment which we are now considering greatly improves upon the Line-Item Veto Act. In the Contract on America and every piece of literature touting the Line-Item Veto Act, the Republicans are quick to claim that this…

Mr. Chairman, I have to remind the gentleman that the legislative branch is not a litigant before the Court. That is a problem. The Justice Department, the executive branch litigates half of the cases that come before the Court. That is…

This, again, is a bill that responds to the American people. The American people think that one of the answers to the problems in American is to give the President extraordinary control over the Congress. Well, it is going to pass. But I…
