Today the Bronx is really proud of the Bronx Bombers, of the New York Yankees, who once again are the world champions in baseball. They are truly the team of the nineties, the dynasty of the nineties. As we enter the new millenium, the…

I think it is ironic that I have 20 seconds. The Republican majority wants to give us no time limit on an impeachment inquiry which will turn into an open-ended fishing expedition, but I have 20 seconds here. They want to severely limit…

Let me say also, I think we could probably cut back on waste, fraud and abuse in the Medicare system and find the money to finance what the gentleman just described.

I want to say that Betty Shabazz was truly a woman of valor, truly a woman who was color-blind and cared about all Americans, regardless of race, creed, color, or religious origin. Her life personified, I think, what makes this country…

I supported President Bush in Operation Desert Storm. I think that was one of the times we utilized the United Nations, and we utilized the international community to further U.S. foreign policy interests. It was good for this country and…

Mr. Chairman, after years of repression, the humanitarian situation in Kosovo is very grim. Recent reports by respected international relief groups spell out the seriousness of the situation. According to O. Terry Heselius, Country…

Certainly nothing is more obscene than those Holocaust revisionists who try to claim that it did not happen or that it did not happen to the magnitude that we know it happened. They include, unfortunately, leaders of countries. Even a…

The administration has also lobbied this Congress against lifting the arms embargo and this Congress has voted overwhelmingly on a couple of occasions to lift the arms embargo. I do not think that the administration is proposing effective…

I just find it incongruous that we are being denied, for whatever reason; I am not blaming anyone, but the way it is working out, it seems that Mr. Hoyer will not be allowed to put forth his amendment which would call for an end to the…

But, I think what this legislation also does is, if something is not fully funded, it makes it very, very hard to do. Frankly, I am not afraid of unfunded mandates. I am afraid that the ruse of unfunded mandates is going to be used to…

Can I ask the gentleman why then he does not embrace the Moran bill, because I think what the gentleman from Virginia [Mr. Moran] is doing is frankly giving you everything that you feel needs to be done.
Feb 1, 1995
The options may be there, but the threshold is much more difficult than what the gentleman from Virginia [Mr. Moran] is proposing. That is why I think what he is saying is to give us maximum flexibility. Frankly, I do not understand why we…

Mr. Chairman, it is said that Nero fiddled while Rome burned. For the past 2 years, we have been fiddling while the people of Bosnia have burned. I do not want to know about diplomatic niceties. I know 2 years ago we should have been doing…

I hope we will have the opportunity in the very near future to vote on it, and at least it is some small positive step. The frustration, of course, now is that we are dealing with small steps that at this stage of the carnage does not have…

Today we had a House-Senate conference on the State Department reauthorization, and the resolution was passed to call upon the President to lift the arms embargo so we finally have hopefully the weight of the House of Representatives and…

And, you know, I know you would agree with me, because I know of the great work that you have done in this Congress with regard to the Western Hemisphere, with Central America; we do not believe that the United States can or should be the…

Mental health benefits should not be a second thought; mental health benefits must be on a par with any other benefits that we offer in any final bill that passes this legislature. It ought not to be phased in years from now; it ought not…
