we have twice voted--by an overwhelming majority--to outlaw the partial birth abortion procedure. However, this procedure is still done on a daily basis in this country because the President ill-advisedly chose to veto this bill. It makes…

I am very pleased to see the House take up H.R. 2135, legislation I have introduced to make boundary corrections along Decatur Boulevard in Las Vegas and North Las Vegas. Landowners along Decatur approached me last year with the problem…

The conference report we present to the House today for military construction, family housing, and base closure recommends a total appropriation of $9.9 billion. This represents a $1.2 billion, or 10-percent, decrease from last year. The…

In the board game called life, there is no welfare square that keeps your game piece there indefinitely. Instead, there is hope, opportunity to go to college, to go to work, to get married and have a family, to be a success and win the…

many years ago a song stated that ``Diamonds are a girl's best friend''. Today, women are seeking more from life--they are looking for good health, safe communities and a future for their children. I can tell my colleagues in this regard…

what is pink, round, was stalled at FDA for 10 years and now can be obtained only by prescription? No; it is not a funny riddle. The sad truth is it describes the sensor pad, an important tool which could be used to aid breast lump…

I offer my support to the Young amendment to H.R. 3286 which would strike title III, a provision which makes significant changes to the 1978 Indian Child Welfare Act. ICWA was designed to prevent the wholesale separation of Indian children…

it took many years of debate, and thousands of town hall meetings, but by George, I think we've got it. Congress has finally stepped up to the plate to ensure that Americans are able to obtain health insurance. Too many Americans are shut…

I stumbled into it by accident. I did an internship in anesthesia. I worked for a year in general practice in Alabama. I did two years in general surgery, then switched into family practice to get board certified. My intentions at that…

I believe we are compiling a record of success and that the corrections calendar will become heavily relied upon by the House as a way to fix past errors. The American people are demanding a more responsive Government, and corrections day…

On September 20, 1995 this House voted overwhelmingly in support of the conference report for the Military Construction Appropriations Act for fiscal year 1996. By a bipartisan vote of 326 to 93 we demonstrated our commitment to addressing…

this amendment restores $8 million for the Pyramid Lake water rights settlement. Funds available from a previous amendment which reduced funding from the territorial assistance account is sufficient to offset this amendment. This water…

H.R. 2 gives the President true line-item veto authority, empowering him to disallow specific items in spending bills without having to veto the entire legislation--which may contain worthwhile and necessary programs. Perhaps more…

what do 46,000 women and 240 men have in common this year? No, not an interest in the O.J. Simpson trial. These people are all expected to die from breast cancer in 1995. I have again introduced legislation to help lower income women by…

I opposed Mr. Clinton's nuclear testing moratorium last year and his continued ``no testing policy'' concerns me greatly. I say this with extreme concern because as American foreign policy under the Clinton administration continues like a…

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to voice my opposition to the conference report on S. 636, the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. Although this conference report contains important changes in the original legislation, most notably the…

I thank the gentleman for yielding time to me. Mr. Chairman, I rise today to speak in ardent opposition to the adoption of the so-called assault weapons ban legislation. I rise today not to speak eloquently like so many of my colleagues…

I rise today to voice my support for Mr. Sensenbrenner's motion to instruct conferees. This motion would instruct conferees to agree to language that extends this bill's protection to places of worship and the worshipers in them. While…

I strongly support the budget proposed by the gentlewoman from Maryland and I am appalled that we will not even be allowed to consider it during these discussions over the budget resolution. By increasing each line item of Federal spending…
