Because these are no-bid, multimillion dollars contracts for which they are not even eligible to bid; and then when they subcontract them out, they subcontract them out to other large corporations and not to the small business people who…

What I am trying to do is draw the parameters of where we are today. Today, we are not dealing with the people on the ground that can be of the most help. We have business people, construction people, who actually could be helping, and…

I just want to make a response to my friend, the previous speaker, to let him know that the examples that he made are quite logical and quite rational. We think that they should be given protection. But we do not want what is in this bill…

I would like my colleague to know that this bill is based on the California program MICRA, and premiums for medical malpractice insurance grew more quickly between 1991 and 2000 than the national averages. Just remember that. Mr. Speaker…

Yes, sir. That is correct. (Mr. CONYERS asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks, and include extraneous material.)

So we do not know what the court was doing. It is not clear, depending on what someone's interpretation is. Well, let me ask you this. The amendment allows the recipient to challenge the letter in court, but it can be quashed only if…

Right. Is the author of the amendment here? I was wondering if this was sent over to the chairman of the committee at some earlier point in time.

This is not an insignificant matter I say to my colleagues. It should be noted that the San Antonio Spurs have lost five games at home until last night, and I bring this to the attention of the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Smith), my dear…

The Jackson-Lee amendment, which is really based on the concept of no more Tulias, is one that I hope my colleagues will support. None of the funds made available in this act under the heading ``Office of Justice Programs'' may be used by…

Reclaiming my time, but we are trying to get rid of criminals from coming into the country, and what the gentleman is doing in this amendment is keeping them in the country. In other words, deporting them is not good enough. We want to…

I am pleased to yield 1\1/4\ minutes to the gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Lowey).

Can we inquire of the distinguished chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary, who has not used any of his time yet, how many speakers he has?
Apr 14, 2005
I am now pleased to break the line of members of the committee. I yield 1 minute and 15 seconds to a distinguished friend of mine, the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Pascrell).

What I would like to find out, if the gentleman knows, has this ever occurred in the history of Federal legislation before that for a given instance all laws, local, State, national, will be waived all at one time for one specific purpose?

I just wanted to ask the author of the amendment, would he have objected to having hearings on his amendment?

I rise only to congratulate the House leadership of the Committee on the Judiciary for the really tireless efforts that they brought to the negotiation process to get us to where we are. We have come a considerable way, and I want to start…

I regret to come here this morning to again call for the resignation of the Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld. The pictures, the videos that continue of our troops humiliating prisoners in Abu Ghraib and the acts of retaliation by…

I do, because they said they were taking people walking off the streets, taxi drivers, in-laws of somebody who may be more seriously implicated, and that they were bringing in an expert from Guantanamo. They do not make them enemy…

No. This was from the author of the article, Seymour Hersh, the part that determined that the existence of a program was to avoid traceability, to have no budget that was reportable. So we did not have anything to even oversight, and then…

It is my experience in conferences the lights frequently go out and measures get substituted and all kinds of weird things go on. Let us do this in broad daylight, with everybody looking and listening. Conferences have not been the way the…

I would be interested; and is the gentleman interested in the six points that I just raised that make this bill problematic? We cannot work together on two different bills.

Reading the Wall Street Journal yesterday, which I read more than some suspect, I was told that the Red Cross had complained to Secretary of State Colin Powell about the prison abuses and torture and other embarrassments for months, which…

We have to watch where he is at all times. His record is bloody and long and unsavory. And so I am very glad that both of the gentleman, who have enormous Haitian constituents, are here not just because of their numbers, but because…

Under the Special Orders that we will be taking tomorrow evening, I will be able to report to you the whereabouts of young Duvalier, who is reported today to be planning to return to Haiti. And there is a young gentleman evicted from Haiti…
