I submit there are more laws that would be affected by this provision. The oil pollution law, for example, has two applications to the Clean Water Act and to the transportation of oils. So we are talking about the Coast Guard. We are…

That is not my question. I did not ask how many committees. I asked how many laws. The gentleman does not have a catalogue of laws affected by this provision?

I shall not object, but I reserved the right in order to point out the flaw of the process. The process of Corrections Day is a real shortcut of the legislative process that we have followed in this House for well over 100 years, and the…

it may seem incongruous in these days of 90-degree weather and high humidity to be talking about home heating assistance, but in northern Minnesota, although the glacier retreated, it makes a return attempt every fall, and lasts well into…

I rise also to pay tribute to Dev O'Neill... He has recorded it for us and for history. He has been a true professional in the field of photography. Mr. Speaker, I wish him well in all that he seeks to undertake in the future, good health…

Mr. Chairman, last year I voted against unilateral lifting of the sanctions. I have changed my mind. The administration's best efforts have not been supported by the international community, the killing continues, the balance of power…

Mr. Chairman, several years ago when I chaired the Economic Development Subcommittee in partnership with my good friend, the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Clinger], we held hearings here in Washington and throughout Appalachia and…

I make no apologies for the administration proposal. I think it is grossly inadequate. But I think the committee bill, which the chairman has reported out, is on target, it is responsible, it is less than, I think, what we need, but I…

Mr. Chairman, this amendment goes to the heart of the ability of cities to meet their obligations to clean up the Nation's waterways. At the very start of the Clean Water Act in 1956, my predecessor, John Plotnik, took on the daunting…

Mr. Chairman and colleagues, nonpoint source pollution is the next frontier of our clean water program. The Nation has done very well in cleaning up pollution from point sources. Over the past 20-plus years since the Clean Water Act was…

although we know the pressures and constraints and we know very well what enormous pressures there will be on Governors not to move to the stage of compliance, I want to see compliance. I want to see our open spaces, runoff of pollution…

earlier today it was my sad, but high personal privilege to offer a tribute to my dear friend, a great Minnesotan, and great American, the Honorable L.J. ``Lud'' Andolsek, during the Mass of Christian Burial at St. Jane de Chantal Church…

I just wanted to make sure this language does not preclude the possibility of a country like Slovenia, which is independent, has a privatized economy, had had successful free democratic elections, from joining, having the same status as…

we have enacted legislation to provide for safety aboard American airlines and at American airports, and there is already a very heavy burden of responsibility on the FAA to undertake in conjunction with each safety rule making a…

Mr. Chairman, colleagues, there are two areas of unfunded mandates issues that are of great concern to me in the field of aviation. One is security; the other is safety. Security measures should not be subject to a mere point of order…

Mr. Speaker, I take this time to pay my respects to a retiring member of the staff of the Committee on Public Works and Transportation, Joseph A. Italiano. Joe Italiano and I worked together as staff members of the Committee on Public…

I must add a very few reflections of my own. My first experience with Mr. Natcher was as Administrative Assistant to my predecessor, John Blatnik, who was a very close friend of Bill Natcher and preceded Chairman Natcher in Congress by…

Before the ARC came along, we was so far down we had to look up to see bottom. What the Appalachian Regional Commission did in the years when it was receiving significant amounts of funding was to lift the level of poverty from 31 percent…

Mr. Speaker, I take a few minutes first to express my great appreciation to the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Clinger], the ranking member, for his splendid participation and cooperation in shaping the legislation we bring to the floor…

the bill we bring to the floor today is a short-term reauthorization of the Airport Improvement Program to allow the FAA to make grants of up to $800 million by June 30 for airport improvement projects across the Nation that have been held…

I thank the gentleman for yielding this time to me and for the superb job that he has done in crafting this serious, solid budget resolution. In response to the three previous speakers on the other side, I would say that if they are…

I say to the chairman we have laboriously analyzed the position, and to summarize it, the total airline passenger payments that would result from the shifting of costs under this proposal would be the equivalent of a tax of 16 rac{1}{2}…
