This legislation addresses issues regarding so-called ``caller ID spoofing.'' ``Spoofing'' is when a caller masks or changes the caller ID information of their call in a way that disguises the true origination number of the caller. In many…

It is not inappropriate for the CIA to tell us how the increasing scarcity of water could exacerbate the very failed state conditions which breed terrorism. It is not politically correct to want the military services to know how polar ice…

I obviously sat here with you 30 years ago. What you were saying about environmental issues back then really do make you look like a prophet.

Democratic Congressman Ed Markey of Massachusetts calls the deal a historic mistake. He says it will increase India's capability to make nuclear weapons.

Bob Tisch was my friend. He did many things in life for which he will be remembered, but for me it was that he created a family of unsurpassed excellence. It was an honor for me to know him, and his family should know how many people like…

This is a great amendment. Because right now this is how much nuclear material is needed by India to produce nuclear electricity in their country. It is used for electricity. However, once we provide them all of this nuclear material for…

What you've done today is invoke the Hogan's Heroes Sgt. Schiltz defense of, I see nothing, I hear nothing.

I want to begin just by stating that we were briefed by the EPA yesterday and that the EPA has indicated that they have only just begun sampling and that they have, in fact, found highly elevated levels of lead, e.coli and other toxic…

The proponents of the bill still have more time left than the opponents of the bill, and the time was divided 40 minutes to 20 minutes. So what we have been trying to do, honestly, is just to harness our smaller number of minutes.

Well, I have three more speakers. Could the Chair tell me how much time is left on both sides? The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Simpson). The gentleman from Texas (Mr. Barton) has 1\1/2\ minutes remaining, the gentleman from Virginia (Mr…

The amendment I am offering deals with the issue of the outsourcing of torture. It is identical to amendments that this House has previously approved to the emergency supplemental appropriations bill in March and the State-Justice…

This issue is one of whether or not you want the Federal Government to decide if you are on a coastline in the United States that an LNG facility is coming to your district. If you want your governor, your mayors to have a role, some role…

It is my intention, the gentleman from Connecticut's (Mr. Shays) intention, that once we close the loophole on passenger planes that allow for cargo to go on unscreened, then we will move on to the next step, which is the cargo that goes…

Perhaps on oil and gas and other environmental issues as well, but at least on this one issue I do agree with my colleague that the New York Yankees are the oil and gas industry of the baseball industry.

This camaraderie that we can share on this one issue is hopefully one that we might be able to spread to other issues.

I thank the gentleman on a bipartisan basis, because this is a time for all of the other cities with losing histories in baseball to all band together and root for the Red Sox to end this terrible reign.

Oh, I understand that. I am talking about the bipartisan cities with losing baseball histories.

I hope when we get to the conference committee that my cochairman of the privacy caucus, Senator Shelby, who shares the passion on this issue, will be in disagreement with my colleagues as to whether or not we have reached in this bill the…

Welcome to the People's House Tony Blair. We need you. The Niger evidence that supposedly showed Saddam Hussein had reconstituted his nuclear weapons program turns out to be forged, but you say, wait, there is more. We are aware of Niger…

I would also like to add the names of David Schooler, who is counsel to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Dingell) and the Democrats on the committee, and to Colin Crowell on my staff, who participated in the drafting of this legislation…

I would like to use that 1 minute to compliment the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Hoeffel) for his amendment and the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Everett), because we clearly have a meeting of the minds here that there should be an…

My point is there is going to be a tremendous amount of budgetary pressure on Congress for the remainder of the year. The war in Iraq has yet to be completely paid for, the deficit continues to explode, and the Committee on Appropriations…

So as Members are voting, they are not voting for an actual appropriation for additional money for LIHEAP. As the gentleman knows, in past years the Congress has authorized fairly substantially high levels of funding for LIHEAP, and yet…

I am not saying it is a totally bad rule. Obviously, there are some amendments which have been put in order that are appropriate. What we are saying is that the American people have an expectation that the Congress of our country, at a…

We are going to see many crocodile tears shed this afternoon on behalf of physicians and their high premiums. But the Republicans refuse to allow the Democrats to make an amendment that ensures that all of the savings that come from the…
