God forbid if the terrorists of September 11 had a nuclear bomb parked in a truck placed in lower Manhattan, 2 million innocent American citizens would have died on that terribly tragic day. That is 500 times more people than were actually…

Frankly, the God I pray to never left the schools. And the God I pray to is so powerful that no government body in any nation has the ability to take God or prayers out of our schools. [...] I would argue the case, with which many…

I rise to introduce the Punishing Terrorist Hoaxes Act of 2001. In the days since September 11, all of us have learned that anthrax hoaxes are no joking matter. They are acts of terror in the true sense of the word because they inflict…

this is not a complicated question. The American people have watched as these firefighters have put their lives on the line for us. They have provided all of us, all of our families, and families all over this country, with the security we…

I deeply appreciate the very bipartisan, fair, conscientious leadership of this subcommittee... This bill deals with important university research across our country; it provides Department of Energy funding to protect American citizens…

I want to commend Members on both sides of the aisle for having put together this legislation, and I will not object and will, in fact, support this rule and the legislation. I think it is at this particular time in our Nation's history…

Senator Helms and I are excited about the alternative uses of animal waste products, and I appreciate the attention this issue is receiving from the Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee. There has been a great deal of attention paid to…

at 8:48 a.m. on September 11, 2001, America lost one of its finest citizens, one of the many who gave their lives in the senseless acts of terror visited upon our country that day. His name is Karleton Douglas Beye Fyfe, and he deserves to…

I rise in support of S. 1510, the Uniting and Strengthening America Act. In the aftermath of September 11, we face two difficult and delicate tasks: to strengthen our security in order to prevent future terrorist attacks, and at the same…

in July of this year, Governor Mike Easley of my State of North Carolina, issued a proclamation designating the week of October 21-27, 2001 as ``World Population Awareness Week.'' The proclamation draws attention to the serious issues…

on Sunday, September 16, Texas and the Nation lost a patriot and a true public servant, Mr. Ted C. Connell. My friend, our Nation's friend, passed away at his home in Killeen, Texas, after a courageous battle with cancer. Ted Connell lived…

this is not a perfect bill, but it is an important first step toward protecting the viability of our Nation's air transportation system. For that important reason, I am going to support these rules and support this legislation today. But…

with this vote of resolve and unity, we become stewards of the American values expressed so eloquently 40 years ago by a new President, John F. Kennedy, ``Let every Nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any…

we awoke yesterday to a much different world than the world we are required to accept today. On the most basic and fundamental level, we have lost the lives of heroes and victims, and we know that behind the devastating numbers we have all…

yesterday our Nation was shocked by a despicable act of cowardice. Today, even as we grieve and pray for those killed, injured and missing, America will show the world that our national spirit cannot be broken by the acts of terrorists. In…

Senator Mikulski, you have made available $140,000,000 for the Economic Development Initiative (EDI) to finance a variety of economic development efforts. I want to make you and your committee aware of a project I think is worthy of an EDI…

the question before this House is not whether faith is a powerful force; it is. The question is not whether faith-based groups do good works; they do. The question is not even whether government can assist faith-based groups in their…

no American citizen should ever have to pass someone else's religious test to qualify for a federally funded job. No American, not one, should ever have to be fired from a federally funded job solely because of his or her religious faith…

a few moments ago when the Speaker of the House said this bill is not a new idea, the gentleman was absolutely correct. The idea of having tax dollars subsidize our churches and houses of worship was debated 200 years ago by our Founding…

today the House was scheduled to vote on H.R. 7, the so-called Charitable Choice Act. However, the House Republican leadership had to delay the vote because of objections from both Republicans and Democrats alike that this bill would allow…

Tomorrow this House will vote on H.R. 7, the President's faith-based initiative. The question before the House is not whether faith is a powerful force; it is. The question is not whether faith-based groups do good works; they do. The…

I rise today to introduce much-needed legislation to protect the privacy of consumers who use technologies that can pinpoint their location. Under my bill, the Location Privacy Protection Act, any company that monitors consumers' physical…

I would like to point out, not knowing the facts, since there was not a committee hearing on this, that some of the corporations whose charitable contributions are in effect being criticized today might not want to give to some faith-based…

I respectfully disagree. Somebody who engages in reckless conduct in the operation of an automobile has engaged in criminal conduct. Somebody who engages in reckless conduct that causes the death of another person has engaged in criminal…

The language of the legislation is that reckless, intentional conduct is criminal conduct--all over America.
