The only state that is being added is Saudi Arabia. The other ones were already in the bill.

One of things that came up frequently on the floor among the opponents of the resolution was that we have to foster an environment where the moderate Arab nations could help a peace take hold in the Middle East. Perhaps the gentleman could…

We heard similar language throughout some quarters of the Arab world in reaction to September 11, is that this is what happens if you do not have an energy policy we like or a foreign policy or an agricultural policy, we send 15 suicide…

Let me give an example and the gentlemen in their most recent visit, I am sure, visited some victims in the hospital. I had the opportunity to visit a 15-year-old girl who was the victim of a homicide bomber. She was not killed, thank God…

One thing that I would hope we would be able to agree upon is there is no moral underpinning for sending one's child out to go to a pool hall and then have them blown to bits by a suicide bomber. Those 16 young people who were killed in…

In this great House, we have always stood shoulder to shoulder from all parts of this country, Democrat and Republican alike, strongly allied with the democracy in the Middle East, Israel, and with God's good graces, I hope we stand with…

I would point out that many housing authorities around the country have a similar situation where drug elimination funds appear not to be spent because a large number of those dollars are used to recruit and hire police officers. As the…

I can provide the gentleman with the numbers, of the number of sheep and goats being farmed in this country. 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 we lost during every one of those years. But we lost less during the years there…

I will be glad to provide it for the gentleman. But one thing, and I would yield to anyone, since I have a couple of moments left, anyone that can point to a year the subsidy was in place that it did anything to reverse the trend. The…

Unfortunately, the problem with that reasoning is that they hemorrhaged worse during the last wool and mohair subsidy program.

If the gentleman would indulge me then in his experience with the last program. We had a subsidy that he supported. He said earlier in his statement that as a result of the victors in eliminating the program, there has been a dramatic…

That should narrow it down. No, anything after 1993 obviously did not come from that study. Anything after 1993 came from the Agricultural Statistical Service, sir.

I will be glad, reclaiming my time, to give the gentleman the source for that. That was the 1993 National Performance Review performed by the office of Vice President Gore, which was the rationale for a bill that came to this floor…

I would have to answer no, but that is true of most of the food products I eat every day. I have not visited where they were farmed either.

Mr. Speaker, here is the difference. This is not a question about whether or not we are interpreting whether someone's speech is abridged. This is taking an inherent constitutional congressional obligation which is deciding these questions…

I represent an area in Brooklyn and Queens that has one of the largest urban national parks in the Nation. We have come to appreciate it. It is not all that we would like it to be, but we do see it as our little corner of the national park…

We live in cynical times. We live in times when reams of newspaper are printed about our foibles, individual and collective; but there is scant recognition of the greatness of our country and its great people. Today we pay tribute to a…

Let us not forget that these are real people in Brooklyn who are awaiting simple justice. I have to tell my colleagues that they are, in many ways, the classic American immigrant group, in that they came here freeing persecution. When they…

I commend the gentleman's words. I think that there is legitimate disagreement about how to encourage these moderate voices that we have heard about to emerge. One thing we do have to keep in mind, though, as the gentleman points out, is…

I want to observe that the grants under the bill have to pass through the States to get to the localities. The great success of the COPS program is that it takes police departments, even the smallest police departments, for example, and…

Would the gentleman from Arkansas tell me at what point in all of that deliberation did the House express the notion that we should not even meet in conference; that we should not even discuss these items? There seemed to have been, I…

Consider: just three dollars a year could allow thousands of Americans to become parents.

In fact, in Massachusetts a study shows that the cost for HMOs actually went down when they started providing coverage.

Studies completed by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine have shown that providing comprehensive infertility coverage will add only three dollars per member per year.

This is unfair, and the Family Building Act of 1999 will put a stop to it.
