I realize all the difficulties we have, and we are trying to fix those, and I appreciate your efforts.

My fear is that you're going to take this money and continue the same stupid decisions you've made for 25 years.

I understand that people don't like to pay taxes. Neither do I, unless those taxes are used for wise and important purposes. And if the gentleman is so concerned about every taxpayer that doesn't want to pay taxes, then why are we still in…

The substitute amendment introduced by Mr. Spratt improves on the base resolution, H.J. Res. 114, because it requires that the United States continue working with the United Nations to enforce existing Security Council Resolutions and to…

I just want to read a list of people who are interested in this bill... Most genetic research right now is not related to stem cell research, not yet. It may never be. Stem cells is just another potential.

I look at this bill and I ask myself, why did I come here? I came here to defend the rights of Americans and the rights of people all around the world. I look at China, I see no freedom of speech, no freedom of religion, no freedom of…

I find this to be unfortunate. The people who are proposing the amendment are working with us to try to come to a mutual agreement, and the people who really do not do much about housing do not want us to. I want to make two points. Number…

This amendment I think is a very simple amendment. It actually strikes language that I put in in the committee at an earlier time when we were discussing this. I think the language is no longer relevant and no longer useful to this bill…

I submit the following article which appeared in the Melbourne Age on October 20, 1999 for the record and to offer my congratulations to the Boston Demons for their outstanding efforts in winning the 1999 U.S. Australian Rules National…

Wonderful new therapies like vision rehabilitation not only save money, but more importantly give people back their quality of life.

The type of vision rehabilitation covered under this legislation could save the Medicare program millions of dollars in costs associated with injuries such as broken bones which are often caused by vision impairment.

Vision rehabilitation services teach seniors who suffer from permanent vision impairment how to continue living independently with this loss.

Currently 6.6 million Americans over the age of 65 report some level of vision impairment.

I filed the Medicare Vision Rehabilitation Coverage Act of 1999 which would reimburse, under Medicare Part B, vision rehabilitation professionals for services provided.

These men gave selflessly of themselves in our Nation's most brutal war for the right to be recognized as civilized men.

I'm proud today to honor the memory of these soldiers, and recognize their accomplishments during the Civil War and to the future direction of our Nation.

Last year, the world, once again, united to condemn atrocities committed towards fellow human beings.

We must continue to be vigilant, we must preserve the cultural history of Armenians, and we must work towards ending crimes against all humanity.

Together we will demand more accountability from Azerbaijan and Turkey for their persistent bullying of their neighbor.

It is sad and frustrating that at the beginning of this century, Armenians were murdered en masse.

I am a proud cosponsor of a resolution honoring the memory of the victims of the Armenian genocide.

In the face of this tragedy, children and grandchildren of the survivors of the Armenian Genocide have gone on to positively impact society.

Turkey has refused to admit the Armenian Genocide occurred, and continues to harbor hatred towards its neighbors.

From 1915 to 1923, the Ottoman Empire launched a systematic campaign to exterminate Armenians.

I will tell you that all of the money that was designated to local communities for bridges, typical regular stuff, has been sucked into it as well.
