the gentleman knows under the rules of the House and under the leadership of our very good and respected chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, the gentleman from Kentucky, Mr. Natcher, the gentleman always insisted that these…

Mr. Chairman, I offer this amendment for a separate vote because I believe the gravity of the situation with regard to the North Korean nuclear program demands that Congress make its voice heard--this week. Mr. Chairman, North Korea may…

Amendment offered by Mr. Solomon: At the end of title X (page 277, after line 2), add the following new section: SEC. 1038. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS CONCERNING THE NORTH KOREAN NUCLEAR WEAPONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. (a) Findings.--The Congress…

I hope every Republican, and all Democrats who care about due process, will vote to defeat this previous question; that will allow at least one major amendment cutting ill-conceived Russian aid by $52 million and using those funds to stop…

it is nice to hear the other side finally heaping praise on Ronald Reagan for bringing down the Iron Curtain, for putting an end to communism in Central and Eastern Europe. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to this new entitlement…

I yielded myself the remaining 30 seconds just to say one more time: You know, recruiting is where readiness begins. We depend on an all-voluntary military, and recruiting is the key to all our voluntary military has accomplished over the…

Mr. Chairman, the ongoing controversy concerning international inspection of North Korea's nuclear program has clearly reached the watershed point. On May 14, engineers began the removal of spent fuel rods from the Yongbyon Reactor, North…

Ladies and gentlemen, I rise in the strongest opposition to the amendment offered by the gentleman from California which would eliminate, no questions about it, eliminate the Selective Service peacetime registration program. Mr. Chairman…

The court decision ruled that the State University of New York would be in violation of the Governor's executive order if it continued to allow recruiters on campus. All the Governor has to do is to live up to what he said he was going to…

Mr. Chairman, I have a very worthy opponent on this amendment. During the recent congressional hearings, Congress has been made aware that military recruiters are being denied access to educational facilities, preventing recruiters from…

I do not think, as I read the court decision--because it is based on that executive order--I do not believe that they are going to be penalized. Certainly by the time this bill reaches the conference, I am sure that we can iron that out. I…

If it is modified, and the Governor says his intent is to do so, then certainly he is not going to see that SUNY loses $21 million in jobs and financial aid. I have a lot of faith, and I do not agree with Governor Cuomo on a lot of things…

I could not help but smile a little at that list of special interest groups that oppose this. You know, every veterans organization--and there are hundreds of them in America in your district and mine--support this down the line. They are…

let me just say to the distinguished gentleman, I went out of my way in my opening remarks to praise the gentleman from California [Mr. Dellums], the chairman of the Committee on Armed Services, because he certainly does believe in free…

But I recently received a letter from Joseph C. Burke, interim chancellor of the State University of New York, outlining his concern about the possibility of losing many millions of dollars in Federal funding and also the loss of many…

The fact is that under this rule, no specific budget waiver is included. We are giving a blanket waiver but there is nothing in here that is going to waive the Budget Act specifically. Mr. Speaker, Members are entitled to know that and…

Mr. Speaker, in no way do I want to criticize the chairman of the Committee on Public Works and Transportation, the gentleman from California [Mr. Mineta]. That is my old committee, and the gentleman from California does an excellent job…

I rise in opposition to this rule and the bill it makes in order. This bill is misguided because it penalizes good law-abiding American citizens, not the criminals who are the cause of the problem. The criminals will ignore this law. The…

I rise today in opposition to the conference report on the budget resolution. In 1816, Thomas Jefferson in advising the American public wrote ``To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must…

Mr. Chairman, the courts have upheld similar legislation of mine in the past, such as the 1982 amendment that denied Federal education funds to students who failed to register for the draft and also prohibiting draft evaders from…

during recent congressional hearings, Congress has been made aware that military recruiters in various educational facilities across the country were being denied access to educational facilities. Preventing military recruiters from…

Mr. Chairman, the claims that this bill will save the taxpayers billions of dollars is total nonsense. According to CBO, the mandatory minimum sentence provision already in the bill will only save the Federal Government $15 million. Not…

this next vote may be the most important political vote we cast this year, so I advise the Members to listen up. Mr. Chairman, the amendment I refer to is the Hayes-Solomon amendment, which was denied in committee, in the Rules Committee…

I can say to both my respected friends I refer to your committee report where you say it, and I refer to the March 17 New York Times article where they said it. Those are two pretty credible organizations.
