the President said in his 1996 State of the Union address that the era of big government is over. I suppose that depends on what the definition of ``is'' is. I suppose that if you look at his recent attacks on Republicans in Congress…

the liberals are making false and misleading arguments in their opposition to the Republican tax cut proposal. Every time we hear the other side accuse Republicans of raiding the Social Security Trust Fund or stealing from the Social…

This amendment is to provide a definition for the term ``voluntary'' for organizations which provide family planning assistance overseas. Certain restrictions already exist on this financial aid, and they are that none of the funds can be…

In summary, Montreal needle exchange program users appear to have higher HIV zero conversion rates than any program nonusers. This study also indicates that, at least in Montreal, HIV infection is associated with needle exchange program…

Reclaiming my time, the reading is correct. But these are people who are paid, their salaries are paid by the taxpayers in the District of Columbia. And it follows with the same logic that none of these funds contained shall be used for…

It is the Montreal study. It is the Vancouver study. It was study done by the American Journal of Epidemiology. I am not sure I said that exactly correctly. But let me say one thing. I am not disputing that the gentleman has an editorial…

I think the District of Columbia is headed in the right direction. The direct Federal contribution is down. The District is running a surplus. We have certainly seen some changes that have been dramatically positive, and I am very pleased…

I think the gentleman is interpreting what I am saying incorrectly. What I am saying is that we can draw our own conclusions from the facts that in 1988 they had only 18 deaths from drug use and by 1998, a decade later, it has increased…

Taking back my time, what I am saying is that there is nothing in this legislation that prohibits people living in the District of Columbia from moving forward with a petition drive or any civil action requiring Congress to provide for…

on July 21, President Clinton showed the entire world that all talk about education reform is nothing but talk. The President's veto of the Education Savings Account legislation that passed both Houses of Congress is clear evidence that…

In the remaining months of the 105th Congress, business will be conducted in one of two ways: We will conduct business in the old way it was done for 40 years of Democrat rule, or we can conduct business in a new way, the way business…

Mr. Chairman, I have 2 amendments at the desk, but I do not intend to offer them today. Both amendments were designed to earmark money for Federal research and treatment for the Gulf War illness. Now, in 1991, about 700,000 American men…

Mr. Chairman, I am not sure where the gentlewoman got her information from about how the Federal Government health care plans are not covering contraceptives. I had my office contact the Office of Personnel Management, and every health…

I just want to say that no one is criticizing the integrity of Federal employees. We believe that they are people who want to serve this country in that capacity, are good, wonderful people. That is not the issue here. Nor is the issue…

this Congress intends to focus like a laser beam on an issue of particular importance to families. It's called tax cuts. Many Americans are moving ahead in these economic good times, but some families are having trouble making ends meet…

Madam Speaker, I want to rise today to support the rule and also to speak briefly about an amendment that I will offer to strike an amendment that was brought up in the full Committee on Appropriations last week and passed by a very narrow…

the Democrats say we need to keep jobs in America for American workers, Republicans say that we need to keep jobs in America for American workers. The difference is that liberal Democrat policies do everything possible to drive companies…

recent reports that Loral Corporation may have given highly sensitive information to the Communist Chinese Government during April and May of 1996 and harmed national security are alarming, especially given India's decision last month to…

one of the famous lines of a song that our beloved former Member, Sonny Bono, sang was, ``The beat goes on.'' That in some way describes Judge Starr's investigation into perjury, suborning perjury, and other possible violations of the law…

in many foreign countries it is difficult to do business without a payoff or a bribe. Just slide some money across the hand and doors open. It happens in many countries that do not have high moral standards of right and wrong. But it is…

according to press accounts, the Pentagon issued a classified report in May of 1997 about the Loral-led review commission's unauthorized release to China of its report on Communist China's latest rocket crash. The report concluded that the…

the shift of the responsibility by the Clinton administration for licensing the export of advanced technology has created dangerous foreign policy and potentially jeopardized our Nation's security. The administration is stripping the State…

without truth, there is no justice. I would like to address the vicious attacks made by the liberals on the Members of Congress who are tasked with finding out the truth about the allegations of crimes by the Clinton White House. These…

the House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight would like to grant immunity to Nancy Lee, Larry Wong, Irene Wu and Kent La and get their testimony so that Congress can learn the facts about illegal campaign contributions in the…

Congress has run into a wall, a massive stonewall in its attempts to carry out its constitutional oversight responsibility. This stonewall is unprecedented and absolutely breathtaking in its audacity. The Committee on Government Reform and…
