I rise to strongly protest the shortsighted decision made by anonymous bureaucrats at the Pentagon to shut down our air operations against the drug lords of South America. Stopping our surveillance in the Andean nations is unwise…

Mr. Speaker, when we began this bill, I introduced this bill a year and a half ago, and if anything has happened since then, we have seen the need for it. First I would say that FACE has the overwhelming support of the House. On the last…

I thank the gentleman, and first want to thank our chairman for his fairness, and my colleagues on that side of the aisle, for what I consider an excellent debate on both sides of the aisle. Let me say to my colleagues that as I have…

Mr. Chairman, despite my great respect for the gentleman from New Mexico [Mr. Schiff], I must strongly disagree with his amendment. No State in the country has enough prison resources to deal with all of those who commit crime. We know…

I appreciate not only the chairman of the subcommittee's hard work but the way he has put together this bill. I have to oppose the McCollum amendment. Let me say that it is one thing to support the concept behind the McCollum amendment. I…

OK; reclaiming my time, it is simply that the jury would not be able to do that, and that is my point. We want to give the jury the flexibility there because otherwise they would not find, they are not going to find, for a capital crime…
