Mr. Speaker, let me thank the gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. Thompson) for his leadership on the resolution today, for asking me to join with him, as we at the Arlington Cemetery joined together today not only with the gentleman from…

I come before the House as a proud cosponsor of this resolution to commend Medgar Wiley Evers and his widow, Myrlie Evers. I had the great privilege of coming from Arlington Cemetery where we gathered with people from all across the…

I come from a rural community that prides itself in its values and the ability to express those values. Our local health care providers work tirelessly to improve the quality of life and care for the small towns and communities they serve…

I am pleased to sponsor the resolution before us today expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Congress should complete action on H.R. 3762, the Pension Security Act of 2002. Mr. Speaker, due to gross irresponsibility…

I rise in proud support and sponsorship of the Armed Forces Tax Relief Act of 2002. As we return from the 4th of July recess, I can think of nothing more appropriate or better to do than to correct the injustice and the wrong code in our…

I rise to proudly support the rule and this resolution. One Nation under God, indivisible. If we look in this great Chamber, behind the Speaker, ``In God We Trust.'' My colleagues may not be able to see, but right in front of me, lining…

I rise proudly as a cosponsor of this resolution. For over a generation now, our courts have taken the wrong path, eliminating prayer from schools, eliminating Christmas from our courthouses. They are saying today in our courts that access…

I rise in proud support of the rule and the effort of this body. It is an historic opportunity for us. If we put the politics and the extreme language aside, these are the facts: $350 billion will go to our seniors for prescription drugs…

My amendment preserves the free speech rights of any constituency or grassroots organization that desires to educate the public as to the voting record, statements or actions of Federal officeholders or candidates for office as they relate…

Amendment No. 27 offered by Mr. Pickering: Add at the end title II the following new subtitle: Subtitle C--Exemption of Communications Pertaining to the Second Amendment of the Constitution SEC. 221. FINDINGS. Congress finds the following…

I rise with great pride to support H.R. 1291, the 21st Century Montgomery GI Bill. It is a great honor for me to follow G.V. Sonny Montgomery, who represented the Third District of Mississippi, the legislation which bears his name and…

I rise in proud support of H.Res. 491. It is a difficult challenge to follow someone like Sonny Montgomery in Congress. But I have the great privilege of today representing Congressman G.V. Sonny Montgomery. And I have the opportunity to…

I rise with him to recognize the Mississippi Concert Singers and their accomplishment. They come from the University of Mississippi, the same place where the new director of the National Endowment for Humanities, Dr. William Ferris, the…

The controversy here is over the allocation of whatever funds are available. The $26 million is greatly appreciated, but if it is done on a pro-rata basis, there is no distinction or difference between those who have taken steps consistent…

the letter from Secretary Shalala reads, ``The implementation of a pro rata proportionate distribution of payments for contract support costs will result in the reduction of funding to a significant number of tribes,'' we are not talking…

I rise in support of the Parker amendment. The tribe that the gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. Parker) has mentioned today happens to be my in home district, the Mississippi Band of Choctaws, which I believe is probably one of the best…

I rise today reluctantly in support of H.J. Res. 121. I served in the Bush administration and 5 years on the staff of U.S. Senator Trent Lott. During that time, I always supported the extension of Most-Favored Nation status, because I…

Evidence shows that the Clinton-Gore reelection effort and the Democrat National Committee purposely sought foreign money in an effort to bypass our election laws. As far back as 1992, the Clinton-Gore campaign was raising money from…

The high probability, there would be a willfulness, and the willfulness would be determined in clause (b) by the probability that he should be aware. For example, when Vice President Gore went to the Buddhist monastery, should he have had…

I do not see an inconsistency between willful blindness and a fleshing out of that. Was he aware of a high probability that a contribution originated from a foreign national? I do not see any inconsistency in that standard. It supports…

The high probability that the contribution originated from the foreign national would set the definition and the standard by what is responsible for those who are accepting and raising and soliciting foreign campaign contributions.

It could be done either way, as the litigation and the different challenges progress through the campaign FEC process and through the court process. But I do believe that we would find an answer to the gentleman's question as far as case…

it is with malice toward none and forgiveness of individual failures, but with a love of the law and our country, I will vote for the articles of impeachment

I rise today to take notice of a very special man, Coach Ron Polk. He served as the head baseball coach at Mississippi State University for 20 years, where he led his Bulldogs to the college world series five times. Coach Polk has compiled…
