Roger Marshall

I do not want to take a whole bunch of additional time repeating what I have previously said. Right now we have a very difficult time where illegal immigration is concerned, and employers tell all of us that the system we have in place…

Chairman Rogers will be happy to know that the target of this amendment is also the Under Secretary of Management's budget, which still has money in it after our last series of votes. Mr. Chairman, in the 1980s, we gave amnesty and told…

this is really pretty simple, and I am kind of amazed to hear Mr. Bachus and my good friend from Alabama, Mr. Davis, say that Congress ought not to be intervening, that this is a judicial matter, because that is exactly what it is. And…

I want to thank Mr. Kingston for all he has done on behalf of peanuts and milk. In the authorizing committee, we failed to extend the peanut program storage and handling fees for the year it needed to be extended, at the end of this farm…

I would simply add to what my friend from Mississippi has said and others have said that this bill is the culmination of months of work by the committee in a bipartisan way to give the men and women that we have in uniform, particularly…

the portions of this bill governing the treatment of detainees can serve as a welcome clarification for the rest of the world that America condemns torture in the strongest terms. These changes should help the world to see that America…

And, Mr. Chairman, is it also your understanding that the bill does not extend constitutional rights to noncitizens of the United States?

I voted for H. Res. 352 because I agree that there are barriers to keeping and creating jobs within the United States and that Federal agencies ought to review their rules and policies to improve the competitiveness of our economy. But I…

I spent a lot of my career as a lawyer representing small banks and small businesses and individuals that felt that they had been defrauded as a result of false financial statements that had been provided them in order to induce investment…

I want to give us an opportunity to improve the bill by increasing the tax cut that this bill contemplates for disabled American veterans. I have heard a reference to this being cynical. I have heard a reference to the history of the House…

I think what we will find, and to a person this is what I have heard, Democrats are certainly in support of this effort to help the Iraqi people create a secular, representative government.

They do not come to us and say, ``There it is. Would you take care of it?'' They go take care of it themselves. Ultimately, they have to be responsible for the security of their country. We do not need to be doing that. We will be able to…

I was a recon platoon sergeant in Vietnam. Vietnam is similar to the Iraqi situation and very dissimilar in other respects. In Vietnam, Russia and China were supporting the insurgency. So we had North Vietnam, Russia, and China. It made it…

I was elected mayor of Macon in 1995. Macon is a small town of a little over 100,000 people located 80 miles or so south of Atlanta. One of the first things I did after being elected was to visit Maynard Holbrook Jackson, Jr. Maynard…

today I will sign a discharge petition that I bring to right a wrong that has been done to disabled American veterans for more than a century. In 1891, the United States of America imposed a tax on disabled veterans. We did not call it a…

I rise today as a law professor who fiercely believes in the first amendment, but I am also the son and grandson of Army generals and a veteran of ground combat in Vietnam. I accept the argument that I, my father, my grandfather, other…

I rise today as a veteran myself to thank the men and women who are serving us today overseas. But more so, I rise today for their families. This is a very difficult time for those serving in our Armed Forces, the men and women who are in…

I speak on behalf of rural America, Mr. Speaker. It is an issue that is bipartisan. It is an issue that is of great concern to an awful lot of Americans. Last night in his State of the Union Address the President said all seniors should…
