My amendment simply clarifies that the limitations in section 6 apply only to grants funded through the research, engineering and development account.

There is just no doubt about it. We also know that 6 out of every 10 new jobs that will be created as we enter the new millennium are going to involve technology and are going to involve the importance of knowing something about Internet…

H.R. 4233 provides for the appropriate implementation of the Metric Conversion Act of 1975 in Federal construction projects. The Metric Conversion Act, as amended, requires all Federal agencies to use the metric system in procurements…

I applaud the Appropriations Committee for including buyout authority in this bill, but I worry that one quarter is not enough. The last round lasted a full year.

I just want to add my very strong support. I want to thank the chairman of the subcommittee for accepting this amendment that is so critically important, because to do otherwise, 200 people would be RIFed from the Agency for International…

I also am a cosponsor of this legislation. It is very important. Let us remember what Santayana said: "Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it." Having had these major shutdowns of Government, let us not repeat it. Let…

The ATP bill, which was authorized by our Technology Subcommittee, was approved, did not come to the full committee. And I am not offering it today, but I am offering an amendment that was offered at full committee and then was withdrawn…

In response, Mr. Chairman, to the ranking member of the Science Committee who is such a dedicated, distinguished gentleman who knows that I do care about the ATP Program, the amendment I am about to offer has to do with the Manufacturing…

Mr. Speaker, H.R. 2196 will implement long-needed improvements to the body of laws which encourage and stimulate the transfer of technology developed, with Federal research and development dollars, to the private sector. It does this in…

This is day 20 of the partial shutdown of Federal Government; 760,000 Federal employees did not receive their paychecks, and 280,000 of them cannot even report to work, although I hear many of them are trying very hard to do so; they do…

Mr. Chairman, it is our understanding that the Army is interested in only focusing research on finding a vaccine for HIV-AIDS. However, with the 10- to 20-year validation period for a suitable vaccine, the importance of maintaining a…

I admire the fact that you have tried to take a bill that is unnecessary and help it, but I think it is still unnecessary. We still have an amendment in the Constitution which is working, and we have the courts to help to enforce it.

I think that tightening the belt ever so slightly, which is what this amendment would do, would be appropriate.

I do not think it was to legalize it. I think it was to come up with a study about it. But this has nothing to do with that. My point is that tobacco is such a deleterious substance that indeed we have a responsibility, and I raised nine…

I support this elevation of the EPA, and I urge my colleagues to vote for Cabinet-level status. This move recognizes the importance of environmental protection in our country and in our negotiations with the other nations of the world…
