Just a quick comment for whatever time I may consume before yielding to the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Barrett). Did I hear the last speaker correctly, that we have given away, whose money is that? It would be the American…

A lot of individuals have worked on H.R. 8, and I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Herger), one of those individuals.

I again believe that a compromise is, in fact, achievable. Just a couple of points... I would take issue with the gentleman's comment that Congress has not been doing its work as far as working families with those prior examples and again…

Again I would say to the gentleman who just spoke, who has self-proclaimed his time here as far as trying to shut down these corporate abusive shelters, in existing law that the Social Security Protection Act attempts to protect is a…

The amount that H.R. 5203 would add to the budget deficit this year: zero. The amount that H.R. 5203 would add to the budget deficit of next year: zero. The amount that H.R. 5203 would add to the budget deficit in the next 6, 7 years…

The fact is, and again I respect those that bring the green eye shade approach here, keeping in mind, of course, that the Congressional Budget Office and Joint Tax do not take into account the economic benefits that are going to happen…

I would like to amplify the point by my colleague from Wisconsin and coauthor of this bill to sunset the sunset. It is interesting that a New York Times columnist, as he was commenting on the work that we had done, and finally we were…

Again, with all the great respect for the gentleman from California (Mr. Packard), I consider him just that, a gentleman, in this body, were it not for the time limit on the authorization, and that is the clock is running on this…

Last January, I was granted the privilege to enter this chamber for the first time. My family beamed down at me with pride from the gallery as I began my service to this nation. On that day I rose in unison with my colleagues and pledged…

There is so much about this tax cut package that is to like. The beauty of this particular provision is that we want to take 90 percent of the projected surplus and put it aside to save Social Security; surplus funds, not monies needed to…

I believe the doubt should be resolved in favor of holding hearings and the resolution should be accepted.

These past several days this body has been consumed with political wrangling over spending bills and legislative riders, debate over tax cuts and social security, whether to fund the IMF or not fund the IMF

Madam Speaker, these past several days this body has been consumed with political wrangling over spending bills and legislative riders, debate over tax cuts and social security, whether to fund the IMF or not fund the IMF

I have made it in the history books. I am the first ever victim of the line item veto. I just thought history would taste a little sweeter than this. I certainly support H.R. 2513, the new and improved version. I know that there are…

Mr. Chairman, the American criminal justice system has neglected victims for far too long. As part of its responsibility, U.S. Attorney offices from across the country have recently established victim and witness assistance programs to…

I was asked by a constituent if I could only pass one bill in this Chamber, what would that one bill be. And I say, well, if I could write it and could make sure that it would actually be enacted into law, it would be this: that the…

Unfortunately, the earned income credit is rife with fraud and waste and abuse. In fact, the IRS even estimates that the rate of fraud and error was over 20 percent. Essentially, out of every $5 then in the earned income credit that the…

Our colleague from Arkansas further pointed out that this family in the portrait that he had, that they paid the payroll taxes and certainly paid taxes toward Medicare and somehow that that ennobled the family to receive these income tax…

I think the gentleman has enunciated very eloquently what it is we stand for and why it is that we sought office and what we are doing to accomplish the goals that many of us stood for and campaigned on. It is especially poignant, I think…

I appreciate my friend from Montana and his eloquent words, particularly with the AMT provision as it was penalizing farmers, the IRS, as you pointed out, changing rules in the middle of the game. I know that this actually occurred in a…

In addition to the letters and support of relief from this punitive estate tax, has the gentleman received any letters urging us to continue the estate tax? Has the gentleman received any letters from his district in New Jersey urging us…

Well, just as Mr. Armstrong uttered those words that are etched in history, ``one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind,'' I am hopeful that what we accomplished early this morning as far as this bipartisan agreement will be at…

I mentioned to them that, if we took the Federal debt, this big number, and if we divided it up by every man, every woman, every child, every ninth-grader across this country, that each one would owe us or have to pay somewhere in the…

I appreciate the gentleman's joining us and especially for his eloquence in speaking on behalf of crime victims. I know certainly he raises a number of good points, particularly about parole. I know that this body has, on occasion…
