Once this individual has an attorney and has engaged an attorney, can the attorney see the evidence that is being used against his client?

Can the attorney know what witnesses' testimony are going to be used, and can they depose those witnesses?

Does this individual have a right to know which witnesses have given evidence against him?

But under this particular doctrine, does the individual have a right to find out what evidence is being used against him?

Once he is incarcerated, is held awaiting further proceedings, if his family comes to the place that he is being held, can they find out what charges are being put against him, what evidence might exist, what is happening to him, when they…

Once charges are actually filed, does the accused get to find out what evidence the Government has against them relative to the crime that they are charged with?

Reclaiming my time, is he told what he is charged with or what he has done wrong?

I commend the Ann Arbor Huron High School Music Department for being named as a Grammy Award Signature School.

I inadvertently voted ``yes'' on rollcall vote 41--H.R. 3081. It was my intention to vote ``no'' on rollcall vote 41--H.R. 3081.

I will vote yes for H.R. 4569 with the expectation that Senate and Conference activity will remedy the serious flaws that exist in the bill. If these inadequacies are not addressed before it returns to the House, I will not support its…

In trying to draw a correlation between ATP and soft money, my recollection, in the 4 years I have served in this House, is that the majority of Republicans in this body have voted against the ATP program. But it is also my recollection…

I applaud the fact that the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Stearns) is now interested in soft money and very interested in making sure that some people in the system do not abuse soft money. Those of us that are part of the reform group want…

That is what I was trying to say, is if we step outside of the law as it exists regarding independent expenditures, it is the FEC who enforces that; is it not?

When the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Hefner) a few minutes ago raised the issue of honesty in ads, there was quite a lot of discussion about that. The argument was that courts could determine the honesty of particular ads and the…

As a cosponsor of H.R. 3185, the Riley- Bachus Abolishing Child Pornography Act, I rise in support of this amendment, which contains elements of this bill. Mr. Chairman, this is an important step for Congress to take. Both bodies and the…

I will take just a brief amount of time to point out that in the committee meeting I did put forward a proposal to do what several of the Republicans on the committee as well as other members of the party have suggested, which is to send…

Do we have any indication at this point how many of that 13 percent are substantially unjustified and whether or not there is actually a need for this kind of proposal? And would that not in fact come out in a hearing and help us all make…
