America is already at war. We are at war against terrorists and those that support evil. Today we have an important decision to make: Will we continue to finance Saddam Hussein's war machine by buying his oil, or will we support energy…

America is at war against terrorists; yet, we buy our oil from nations that harbor the very same terrorists our sons and daughters bravely fight. In the first 6 months of this year, America gave Saddam Hussein a staggering $2.3 billion for…

one Nation under God. These four solemn words form the very backbone of our great democracy. In one short breath these patriotic words in the Pledge of Allegiance from which they are proudly spoken have guided the American experiment in…

I rise today to urge those across the aisle to once and for all end their negative rhetoric and support a comprehensive energy plan for America's future. I understand that there are those that would have the United States continue to…

I want to stand today in favor of the rule, I think it is a fair rule, but definitely in opposition to the Oberstar amendment. Let me lay out a scenario for you. I do not know about the other 25 airports that are under consideration, but I…

America is at war. We are at war against terrorists and those who would support their hate-filled actions. Unfortunately, there are those in this Chamber that would have the United States continue to import almost 60 percent of our oil…

I am here today to urge this Congress to set right a terrible wrong in the Tax Code. There is a basic principle in the American criminal justice system that protects our citizens from being charged with the same crime twice. It is…

2 decades ago Ronald Reagan reminded America that government does not tax to get money it needs, but will always find a need for the money it gets. The death tax is an unfair burden designed to punish families that work to leave a better…

I again come to the well of this great Chamber to implore my colleagues to extend immediate and desperately needed disaster relief to tens of thousands of American farmers and ranchers now suffering from years of drought. If Congress is to…

in 1996 Congress acted to fundamentally reform America's welfare system from the broken entitlement program it had become into the streamlined temporary assistance program we now have today. Since the historic Republican-led reforms of…

I rise on behalf of American farmers and ranchers to ask this Congress to support disaster relief assistance this year. Montana's farmers and ranchers are entering their fifth, and some cases their sixth, straight year of devastating…

I rise in support of H.R. 3282, that designates the Federal Building and United States Courthouse at 400 North Main Street in Butte, Montana, as the Mike Mansfield Federal Building and United States Courthouse. Mike Mansfield's tenure as…

H.R. 852 designates the Federal building and United States courthouse to be constructed at 10 East Commerce Street in Youngstown, Ohio, as the Nathaniel R. Jones and Frank J. Battisti Federal Building and United States Courthouse. Judge…

I rise in support of this sense of Congress resolution. To me, this is simple: Yesterday's attack against America was not just a criminal act, it was an act of war. It is important to understand that these terrorists were specially trained…

I rise in support of the Sununu amendment to the SAFE Act. America has the resources, technology and expertise to develop a commonsense energy policy, one that, without going to extremes, preserves all of the environmental quality gains of…

we are facing an energy shortage. While our demand is continually growing, our production is slowing. Take natural gas as an example. Our demand for natural gas is actually outstripping our demand for oil. By 2020, we will consume 62…

while we all know we cannot conserve our way out of the energy crunch, conservation is a critical piece of the puzzle if we are going to solve this problem. In times like these, each and every American must do their part. This means…

let us put all the political posturing and gamesmanship aside and be honest: the major causes of high energy prices this summer will be the lack of domestic energy production and the absence of new investments in the electricity generation…

Agriculture is Montana's number one industry, but with the cost of farm production at an all-time high and farm incomes sagging, I am deeply concerned about agriculture's future in our State. H.R. 2213 will provide much-needed help to…

this is not a rollback of environmental laws. Critics of the mining industry charge that reviewing the Clinton- Babbitt 3809 regulations constitutes a rollback of environmental laws. This is not true. The industry is not fighting to lessen…

today I introduce the Armed Services Appreciation Pay Raise Act, the ASAP Act, to increase the salaries of our dedicated service personnel by 3.5 percent this year. When combined with next year's scheduled pay increase, this act will put…
