yesterday, in testimony before the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee, two Secret Service agents, Arnold Cole and Jeffrey Undercoffer, testified that administration officials were allowed to work at the White House even though…

Mr. Speaker, I am speaking today because I care deeply about the Romanian people and the fate of the country where I spent almost 6 years of my life as a Fulbright Scholar, university professor doing research, USIA officer and U.S…

Mr. Speaker, when I was U.S. ambassador under the harsh days of Nicolai Ceausescu, I watched the gentleman from California [Mr. Lantos], the great defender of human rights, come to Bucharest and personally praise and thank Ceausescu for…

When I was a United States ambassador, I did what I could in letters and in personal meetings with President Reagan and the State Department in opposition to what was going on inside of Romania. Then I resigned and I protested against U.S…

I did not interrupt you, but that is what you said, and it was written in the book. In the Congressional Record, this same gentleman said ``To a very large extent, the basic power structure is unchanged in Romania today,'' He said this in…

if the people do not wake up, they may have the best labor-union Congress money can buy. The AFL-CIO is doing the dirty work of the liberal Democrats in Congress and of Bill Clinton. In North Carolina, a right-to-work State, union ads…

Bill Clinton is using tobacco as a politically correct whipping boy while he ignores marijuana, cocaine and heroin trafficking and the crime associated with it. Teenage marijuana use has more than doubled on Bill Clinton's watch, but it is…

appeasement of dictators is always bad policy. When Neville Chamberlain left Munich after meeting with Adolf Hitler, he said we have ``peace in our time.'' Appeasement is a sign of weakness which only whets the appetite of dictators. Now…

here we go again. The NEA insists on offending American families. Freshman Republicans tried to eliminate taxpayer funding for the National Endowment for the Arts, in part because taxpayers should not have to subsidize art which blatantly…

Mr. Speaker, I remember in my youth reading ``The Odyssey,'' the story about the great Greek hero Odysseus and his trip home after the long Trojan War. In one of his adventures he guided his ship through the singing of the Sirens. He had…

on Sunday, June 2, the 51st U.S. Women's Open Championship was concluded at Pine Needles Lodge and Golf Course in Southern Pines, NC. Annika Sorenstam repeated as champion with a record score of 272, 8 under par, on a golf course…

here we go again with the constant attack on tobacco in the form of another Durbin amendment. This amendment is being sold as an attempt to change smoking habits. As usual the label is misleading. It won't change smoking habits one bit…

how many FBI files must a President search before he becomes a President? The answers and excuses, my friends, are blowing in the wind, the excuses are blowing in the wind. How long must 341 files be kept until the Clinton administration…

if a Republican President had been responsible for this latest abuse of power and invasion of privacy, we would never hear the end of it, but I predict the left-wing media will try to sweep this incident under the rug. It seems the Clinton…

it is shameful that the liberal Democrats in Congress and the White House have chosen to demagog Medicare instead of joining with those of us on this side of the aisle in rescuing Medicare and making sure it exists well into the next…

recently a politician in North Carolina asked if I could describe a tobacco sucker. The answer is a tobacco sucker is one who believes that David Kessler of the FDA, the gentleman from California, Henry Waxman, and Bill Clinton are friends…

remember President Clinton's campaign promises of 1992? He said, among other things, that he would enact strong welfare reform if elected President. I certainly haven't seen any sign of this. But now, in a true act of desperation, he is…

no matter how hard they try, no matter how much help they get from the liberal media to convince people otherwise, the Democrat Party is and remains the party of higher taxes and bigger government. Just look at Bill Clinton's 1997 budget…

when Bill Clinton ran for President he said ``I feel your pain.'' You know, he has a way with appearing emphatic and compassionate. But now, 3 years into his Presidency, Bill Clinton is now the source of a lot of pain that the American…

it's time for a reality check on the accomplishments of the 104th Congress. At the moment Clinton is riding high in the polls--a result pleasing to the liberal media in America. But the facts are these: this Congress majority voted for…

how long are the Clinton Democrats going to ignore reports that Medicare is going broke? How long are they going to jeopardize the future of our parents' and grandparents' health? Mr. Speaker, new Government reports show a $4.2 billion…

what the President does and what he says about judicial appointments are the mental equivalent of the great Joe Montana's play action, fake to the right and run to the left--and in this case, it is talking tough and acting soft. The…

yesterday President Clinton drove a few miles from the White House and picked up a few logs for Earth Day to try to show his dedication to the environment. I have to ask, why is this President trying to make the environment one of his key…

I want to strongly express my support for the partial birth abortion ban. I consider this procedure a horrible one that people would not support if they saw it. Mr. Speaker, President Clinton's veto of the partial birth abortion ban, which…
