I yield back. Mr. McHENRY. This is one of the great discussions of the day. If you cut taxes does government get less in income or taxation? What we have seen through the tax cuts is it is a pro-growth policy. We allow people to keep more…

Normally, the press and the media would say that if you had unemployment under 6 percent that you are doing good. We have seen because of the actions of this Republican Congress in cutting the taxes and returning the money to the family…

Just for a quick point. I don't normally do this, but I would reference you to The New York Times and today's edition, because they verify that too. You can't go by what their headlines say, because their headline is a little misleading…

if I may have a colloquy with the chairman? The Acting CHAIRMAN. The Chair cannot entertain a colloquy on a point of order.

we are on the floor tonight to discuss a supplemental emergency appropriation, supplemental meaning that we are adding to something to complete it or to bring it to fruition. An emergency, just ran out and grabbed the dictionary, meaning…

I come once again to the floor to raise the issue that I have raised earlier this evening, and that is in this time of spiraling deficits and excess spending by the Federal Government, is now the time to be spending money on an emergency…

I come here today to announce what we begin as hopefully a regular occurrence here on the House floor. Members of the Congressional Constitution Caucus will use these opportunities to highlight for our colleagues and for the Nation the…

I proudly pledge my support for S. Con. Res 79, which expresses Congress's disapproval of any foreign aid distributed to the Palestinian Authority if a group holding the majority of seats supports the destruction of one of America's…

Federal spending is just too high and basically it is in danger of spiraling out of complete control. But American families are really better off if they are able to keep more of their money to decide to spend it as they see their needs…

I yield myself 2 minutes. My amendment would strike the language in the bill that raises the conforming loan limits for certain parts of the United States. H.R. 1461 would raise by 50 percent the maximum size mortgage Fannie Mae and…

I yield myself 20 seconds. Madam Chairman, the assertion that this would be devastating to the market runs contrary to the facts before the committee. There was no evidence whatsoever presented to the committee to say that the system in…

I yield myself 1 minute. We must remember what the original focus of the GSEs was when they were initially chartered by this Congress, they were to do two things, and that is to provide liquidity to the marketplace and also to help provide…

I rise today to compliment both Chairman Baker and Chairman Oxley for their work in order to put together a bill that the main purpose which is to regulate and strengthen the regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. If anyone here…

the cost to buy a new home is about to go up in America. Why is that? Because as soon as next week, Congress is about to vote on placing a new tax on homeownership, a tax that may well raise the cost for the average American who wants to…

I also humbly rise this morning as we support a bill to rename the post office in West Milford, New Jersey, up in my district, after Lance Corporal Brian P. Parrello who was killed in action, as we say, in Iraq earlier this year, in…

I yield myself 2 minutes. I rise today to offer an amendment to help protect one of America's most cherished rights of an American, to own their own home, to own their own property. Last week the U.S. Supreme Court, by the slimmest of…

the 10th amendment states: ``The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited to it by the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.'' These historic words, penned by our Founding…

I received it from different locations, actually. It began, if I may, it began with newspaper reports.

the budget of the United Nations currently stands at $3.7 billion. The contribution from the United States, or actually the contribution from the United States taxpayers, is almost a quarter of that, $439 million. The amendment that is…

I thank the gentleman, as well, for joining us here this afternoon and also for the work that he has already done on the committee. I commend him for that. I know the gentleman is well respected by all of our colleagues for his…

the seminal question that we address is, should Americans be using their tax dollars to fund research that kills a living human embryo? My answer to that is an emphatic ``no.'' It is our duty to ensure that we spend our money on things…

as we approach the 60th anniversary of the United Nations, it is appropriate that we look at its original mission and evaluate whether the United Nations has accomplished what it was set out to do. The U.N. charter states in part that its…

I think that message right up there says it all: ``America Speaks.'' And America spoke very loudly and correctly on November 2, 2004. November 2, 2004, was really a great day not only for the Republican Party but for the American people in…

in an effort to obtain a first-hand perspective on the conditions is the newly liberated nation of Iraq, to visit with and pay tribute to our Nation's uniformed sons and daughters serving there and to share insight with officials of the…

in 10 years of majority, Republicans have made a difference and a difference not by over-legislating but by having confidence and faith in the American people and the American individual. My Republican colleagues and I believe that it is…
