I rise in support of the Gillmor-Tanner amendment. I come from a State where the number of employees of U.S. subsidiaries of corporations headquartered in other countries has grown by 233 percent since 1980. Two of the largest employers in…
much of our debate tonight has focused on the fiscal irresponsibility of the Republican majority's budget, on its failure to reserve the surplus, its failure to ensure the future of Social Security and to reduce the national debt, its…
in our country the State is not to sponsor or sanction religious exercises. Neither is it to interfere with the free exercise of religion. That is a delicate balance that the Bill of Rights has protected for over 200 years. It is a…
as a Member whose career has been in higher education, I would like to offer some observations in support of the Roemer amendment, which would strike the bill's provision requiring institutions to report annually and justify their reasons…
I rise in opposition to the Riggs amendment. This amendment would involve an unprecedented Federal intrusion into the admissions practices of colleges and universities. It would require an extensive apparatus to monitor admissions policies…
it is important that the House move quickly next week to reauthorize the Higher Education Act. As an educator for nearly 20 years, I know the importance of ensuring that a college education is within reach for all of our people. I…
colleagues know that ``outrage'' is not a word I use with great frequency, but I can think of few words that better describe the insult to this House and to our constituents represented by the procedure the leadership has chosen for…
like other Members, I have helped many, many constituents resolve disputes with the Internal Revenue Service. In one case earlier this year, a Raleigh man trying to make good on his back taxes was not told that he had the option of setting…
our Republican friends would have us believe that school vouchers would level the playing field by providing low-income parents the same choice as wealthy parents to send their children to private and religious schools. Unfortunately, that…
I am proud to support this conference report. As a new member of this subcommittee, I am grateful to both the gentleman from California [Mr. Lewis] and the gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Stokes] for their evenhanded bipartisan work in putting…
the bill before us has many positive features for working and middle-class families. But I am personally proudest of the inclusion of the main provisions of the Education Affordability Act, introduced by the gentleman from North Carolina…
this bill before us today is a truly bipartisan achievement, a vast improvement on the budget bill approved in this Chamber a month ago, one that we can vote for with great confidence. I want to applaud colleagues on both sides of the…
Charles Kuralt was an ambassador for North Carolina. With a crinkled road map and a two-man camera crew, he set out to see America. He was a wonderfully gifted storyteller and the story he told was ours. He wanted to showcase the very best…
I rise in support of the Thune amendment. This transfer of funds to the Community Development Block Grant Program from FEMA will help communities, including many in North Carolina, complete the difficult task of cleaning up, rebuilding…
877 victories and still counting. Dean Smith, the basketball coach at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has now claimed the title of the all-time winningest coach in basketball history, with 877 victories. And the winning…
I remember at the end of the day it struck me that 140 Members of this body had voted ``no'' on all four resolutions... it is our obligation to produce a budget. Particularly, it is the obligation of the majority party to deliver what…
this vote presents us with three choices: We can choose between improving and worsening women's health; we can choose between increasing and decreasing child mortality; and we can choose between preventing and causing more abortions…
this past Monday I convened a field hearing of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, State and Judiciary in Raleigh, NC, to learn more about what is working in the fight against crime and what more we need to do. There are…
I rise in opposition to the Barton amendment and in favor of the alternative, the Wise-Price-Pomeroy-Furse amendment. The Wise-Price-Pomeroy-Furse amendment is the only amendment before us that establishes a Federal capital investment…
But reclaiming my time, Mr. Chairman, if the economy had been booming 2 years previously, that could give a warrant for a tax increase that could be terrible economic policy and lead to a recession.
the Federal budget deficit is the enemy of both private and public investment in this country. The deficit absorbs our Nation's savings, and it forces tradeoffs between popular consumption expenditures and long-term investments in our…
I used the word, ``invite,'' or ``encourage,'' because congressional action would not be keyed to the present economic circumstances; it would be keyed to different economic circumstances 2 years previously, and tax policy needs to be…
last year we passed an historic budget resolution-reconciliation bill which started putting our fiscal house in order. Now, there were some naysayers, people who stood in the well of this House and gave dire predictions about the ruinous…
to anyone who finds the Kasich budget to have a superficial political appeal, all I would say is just read the fine print. I want to concentrate on one aspect of that here today. This is something we hear a lot of talk about in this…
Black History Month is a time to highlight the many contributions African-Americans have made and are making to our great Nation. I appreciate Mr. Stokes' and Mr. Mfume's organizing of this special order to pay particular tribute to…
Politicians like David Price
