I stand here as a Republican. I am proud of my party. But I am opposed to impeachment, and have proposed my own censure motion, which sadly will die with this session. But this is today. What about tomorrow? Today we deal with the law…

I have been sort of a hard hat all my life about countries and industries taking advantage of the United States. One of the hardest things for me to have seen in terms of our basic materials are consumer electronics, things like that…

I wish there were more discussions like this, people from both sides of the aisle talking about positive things and talking about individuals like Congressman McDade. But I want to admonish Congressman McDade. You do not want to inhale…

Lee has represented the ninth district of Indiana for 17 terms, 34 years. He is an extraordinary man. I happen to think that the idea of curtailing terms is a good idea, but if there ever is an excuse for not doing it, for not having term…

I am afraid we are so dug in here we are sort of getting to the point where we are not listening to one another. Both sides want to pull down the debt. Both sides want to take social security out of the spending pool and build it back. But…

I rise in support of fast track. I was not ready for the vote the last time, because I thought that there were some things that we could do as far as protection of our jobs, as far as the environment, but I voted on it. It may not be the…

so many people have talked so eloquently about these two brave men that I am not going to try to do that. However, in less than an hour and a half we will be having this service in the Rotunda which the President, the Vice President, the…

there is not a single piece of legislation, no matter how good, that cannot be picked apart with the technical arguments. I am not going to do that. I am going to get away from emotions and the words and all the negative aspects. I think…

I think he said we could say as almost a general statement, ``When you take something away, you must be able to put something in its place.'' Now I do not consider this a political argument at all. I consider this an argument of technique…

I respect the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Bishop). He has talked eloquently about a very, very sensitive subject. There is no question that this amendment improves the bill. However, it does not change the basic premise of it, that is, a…

I have not had a single letter from anybody other than Washington or New York who has espoused this. None from overseas.

I just come out on a different side of this thing. I talked a little bit about this last night, so therefore I will not go into all the sort of philosophic background here. I just would like to make a few points. First of all, there is not…

I think we all sort of feel that we walk in the shadow of John Lewis. We can reconstruct history. We can read about it. But to be part of history with a man like John Lewis, who was there and who suffered all the humilities and the…

I do not have any great words of wisdom on this that have not already been expressed. I just can talk from my own experience. On the negative side, there is always the worry that this will put some of our textile people out of business…

I feel very uncomfortable supporting this measure. I do not know whether the actions of the German Government in relationship to the Church of Scientology are right or wrong. I have a sense, and this is probably presumptuous for me to say…

I have been there. I understand what the Eximbank can do. It is a little bit like the Olympics. It used to always be amateur, and then all of a sudden it changed, and then people said, gee, maybe we ought to change, too. Commercial banks…

we are really talking about title X. Title X goes back to 1970. This is something that George Bush was very much involved in, and President Nixon signed into law. It has been very successful, as Members know, not only in terms of the…

Mr. Speaker, this is a sad resolution in a way because it was barely a year ago that we stood here and talked about the great strides toward a free and democratic government which the people of Sierra Leone had made. This really was the…

Mr. Speaker, my friends, I would like to talk just a second about the bipartisan retreat. It was a wonderful experience. I am not going to duplicate the comments that my bosses, the gentleman from Colorado [Mr. Skaggs], the gentleman from…

my remarks will be very brief, and they specifically hone in on an extraordinary citizen of this country, Warren Christopher. Warren Christopher has held one of the most important jobs that any administration can offer, the Secretary of…

But a very distinguished person will be leaving this Chamber. I just wanted to say a word about him, a man called William Clinger from Warren, PA. He is the type of person that represents the finest this Chamber has to offer. He is a…

Mr. Speaker, we really are in trouble here. This is not just a debating society. We are reflecting the feelings of the people in this country, and when you are in trouble, you talk. People say we can talk on the House floor. Why go away…

Periodically, we sort of get off base here. Seriously, this is an opportunity to do something for the country, not just for this Chamber.

I have only asked for 30 seconds because I think this is a very straightforward message. We can wring our hands, analyze, reanalyze, and re-reanalyze why Romania should not get annual MFN status. But the facts are that this is a 23-million…

I rise to oppose the Kolbe amendment. I do so reluctantly because I have respect for the gentleman from Arizona [Mr. Kolbe] and for the position which he is taking. However, we can argue the legalities endlessly here in terms of whether we…
