Mr. Chairman, we have had discussion on the floor of the House tonight about this regulation having taken 8 years, 9 years, 12 years. We do not know how long OSHA has been working on this. Does that not tell us something about the process…
I do want to emphasize the importance to Members of the House who may not, and I certainly could not blame them if they were not familiar with the ins and outs of all these programs, but I hope they will understand that these programs are…
Brian Blaha's success is a true reflection on not only his drive and determination, but also on the parents, family members, and teachers who have supported his hard work and determination.
I am pleased to be able to recognize this extraordinary student for his achievements.

Mr. Speaker, H.R. 818, the Disaster Mitigation Act of 1999, is a common-sense approach to applying the principle of preventive care in coping with natural disasters. H.R. 818 is substantially identical to a measure reintroduced by Senator…
Mr. Speaker, the microloan program was established as a pilot program in 1991 and was made permanent in 1997. The program provides small loans, under $25,000, to the Nation's smallest entrepreneurs. These loans are made through…
Mr. Speaker, the American military is broken. Everything my colleagues have heard tonight, the statistics, the charts, the passionate speeches, the details offered by Congressmen and women who are in a position to know. That is what it all…
