I join my colleagues urging the release of Wei Jingsheng, currently imprisoned in China for his efforts to promote democracy in China. Serving his second long-term sentence, Mr. Wei is seriously ill without access to proper medical care…

I was going to wrap this up by saying the District of Columbia has problems with their budget, and what has been the proposed solution? Give them tax relief. I think the whole country has a serious problem, taxpayers have a problem, just…

In short, a Federal judge cannot even find the merit behind the compact. But, despite earlier misgivings, the Department seems resigned to embarking on what appears to be the herculean task of making some sense out of the compact in order…

Very much so. It is kind of a catch-22. Every time the city says they need more programs to encourage people to stay, they have to somehow have the revenues, so they raise taxes. And every time they raise taxes, they have an…

I am very concerned about regulations that were just issued by the IRS in May regarding the section 936 possession tax credit. These new regulations cast aside regulatory rules upon which companies have relied for many years permitting…

We have posed the question of what has happened and what can be done, and their response has been by 83.9 percent to reopen Pennsylvania Avenue.

That is hopefully what this will do. It is the first step in trying to change the budget process.

This is not the first time this idea has been introduced. The lockbox language has been adopted by the House three times already, by large votes, the latest vote, 373 to 52. Also, it has the support of a number of groups such as the…

The taxpayer is under the belief that money is being saved in their name, but it is just being moved from one pocket and put into another.

While I am pleased with the overall agriculture reforms in the underlying bill, I am disappointed that our efforts regarding real dairy reform have not succeeded at this point. I do understand the intense, and oftentimes, rigid regional…

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…

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…
