The Public Record
Mr. Speaker, just this week, Morton Kondracke wrote that President Clinton will propose a middle-class tax cut. In 1996. For those with short-term memory loss, that's the same promise he made in 1992--and the same promise he broke in 1993…
I rise in strong support of the Smith amendment to H.R. 4092. The Justice Department's Knox brief is a tragedy because it creates a new loophole in our child pornography laws which will lead to a flood of sexual abuse of children. The…
May 15 is opening day for fishing season in Minnesota. Catch and release may work well for Minnesotans out on the lake, but the catch and release of drug criminals does not work for Minnesotans and all Americans who are scared to leave…
by the very nature of its name, the Omnibus Crime Control Act of 1994 implies that this Congress is taking significant steps to reduce the rate of crime in this country and deal swiftly and effectively with criminals. Guess again. Take the…
Yesterday House Banking Committee Chairman Gonzalez accused Republicans of "using an array of half truths, old rumors, half-baked conspiracy theories, and outright lies" in our efforts to hold RTC oversight hearings, and ask some important…
I rise in strong support of the Barton- Tauzin tax limitation balanced budget amendment. This substitute should really be called the taxpayer protection amendment, because it protects taxpayers from a Congress looking for any excuse to…
no matter how hard Congress tries to ignore it, this country is going broke. The national debt is so huge, it has become incomprehensible, almost an irrele<gr-thn-eq>vancy. The ability of future generations of Americans to prosper is being…
Mr. Chairman, everyone should be aware that for the previous speaker's district, Mr. Oberstar's 8th District of Minnesota, the Republican budget provides $61.4 million of family tax relief for 122,815 children. Mr. Chairman, in a few…
I rise in strong support of the Armey amendment. Once again the Federal Government is trying to take greater control of the private lives of citizens in Minnesota and around the country. H.R. 6 is another big government knows best bill…
2 weeks ago there was a tremendous break-through in the health care reform debate: President Clinton endorsed the Nickles/Stearn consumer choice plan. An endorsement of the Nickles-Stearns plan, you say. When? Where? Why? Well, let me use…
But I believe we must also consider the types of non financial assistance which would benefit the people of southern California. That is why today I am introducing the Depository Institutions Disaster Relief Act of 1994. This legislation…
it is no wonder they call the U.S. Senate the world's greatest deliberative body, because all too often here in the House the leadership will not even allow pressing issues to be discussed, let alone voted on. Choking off debate this time…
last evening President Clinton delivered a marvelous campaign speech that is certain to give Americans great hope about what he will deliver this year. However, the campaign is over and Mr. Clinton must deliver and be held accountable on…
