The Constitution makes it imperative that we vote to go to war, that it not be done by a President, that it be done by the people's representatives. When we send soldiers and sailors and air personnel to die overseas, they must know it is…

Just to add, Mr. Chairman, one additional point of praise to our colleague from Colorado (Mr. Skaggs), who offered an amendment in the supplemental that we not go to war in the Persian Gulf without the approval of this House. That was…

What has happened to the Constitution of the United States during the last year, Mr. Speaker? If it was our obligation one year ago to say yea or nay, it remains our obligation to say yea or nay. On the policy itself, if it is a good one…

I want to clarify the intent and effect of our amendment. It will not prohibit NHTSA from lobbying on behalf of tougher drunk driving laws, seat belt laws, or air bag requirements. In each of those cases, there are federal mandates or…

I have never voted for a pay increase in the U.S. Senate. ... From my perspective, Mr. President, this bill is extremely important. Today is the date that funding runs out.

My statement was that the certification by the Secretary of State was not a certification that there was an absence of fraud. It is a certification of the numerical outcome of the election.

I am most grateful to the gentleman. And to the gentleman from Michigan, deep thanks for allowing me the chance to rebut. Let me conclude, the clarity is apparent that we are not jeopardizing any of the U.S. objectives in the Middle East…

If the amendment to be offered later regarding funds for Cambodia is adopted, it is my understanding that will free up $37 million presently allocated to Cambodia in the ESF account.

AIPAC, the American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee, has informed me they do not oppose this amendment. It is not correct to say that this amendment would jeopardize the U.S. interest or the interests of our friends in the Middle East…

But to put it in some perspective, since it seems to get an awful lot of discussion, particularly in election years, about Congress people and Senators getting an increase in salaries, I thought I would contact the Congressional Research…

I point out, it was the Fish and Wildlife Department that has thrown so many roadblocks in front of the Animas-La Plata already under the guise of the Endangered Species Act, as you know.

I have met with the tribal representatives today, and they are absolutely opposed to this amendment. They have 'an alternative proposal,' but if it should be looked at, it should be done fully through the authorizing committee as a bill…

This appeared this morning, and is a story about seven people slain in violence in the last 36 hours in Washington, DC, four or more wounded in just that same 36-hour period. And I would point out that this is a city that has the tightest…

My colleagues, we have heard the fundamental problem with the Smith amendment. It is not simply Mexico City. It terminates all United States contribution to all family planning around the world, in Africa, in Latin America, in Indonesia…

Mr. Chairman, I address to the gentleman from New Jersey [Mr. Smith], one simple question. Under the gentleman's amendment, if the U.N. spends one dime to advise one person in China about contraception, would not all United States…

There were two points I would like the gentleman to give a very candid, honest answer to. First of all, is it the gentleman's understanding that the President's veto threat applies to Herger-Pombo even as amended by Campbell.

I intentionally said prevent substantial risk, which would be to say that you would have to bring the probability of it happening from a high number down to a low number.

I would say in response, not quite. The phrase is ``necessary to protect human life or to prevent the substantial risk,'' just if I could answer, taking my time back to answer your question fully, ``or to prevent the substantial risk of…

I remind my good friend from California, as to all of those, the language I just announced would apply, that in answer to the gentleman's question earlier, the limitation 'where necessary to protect human life' or the limitation 'where…

The purpose here is that whatever project it is that will be necessary to prevent--not just be helpful but be necessary to protect human life or to prevent substantial risk of serious injury--I wish to cover; and if that is more than a…

Again, I say to my colleagues, this has nothing to do with publication; it has to do with an exemption never before existing in American patent law. It says, I am quoting from the bill, title III: ``except that the defense shall also…

Under existing patent law, the prior domestic user has to pay royalties to the person who gets the patent. This bill says that prior domestic user who might have kept it secret can expand to his heart's content. My amendment says, no…

Under the Rohrabacher amendment, you must publish, there is no 5-year delay if you are a gamester, if you are a submariner as determined and applied for a continuation. No 5-year delay.

Would the gentlewoman find it shocking if a group of lawyers in finding a bill beneficial saw some opportunity for enhanced--call upon their own services. That is all.

As to the lawyers' associations which support H.R. 400, could one not interpret that that is a natural response to the fact that the bill will create much more opportunity for their employment?
