The whole point of this debate is that when the Internet Moratorium Act was passed 22 years ago, the commission was charged with recommending a fair and equitable and nonburdensome way of giving equal taxation for the Internet and non…

There are two questions, sir: One, the question of the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Doggett), is it not true that the effect, if not the intent, and the point of the bill that even if a company, manufacturer, knows its goods are injuring or…

Mr. Speaker, the gentleman was incorrect in his statement to the bill. The bill says the determinations, identifications, findings, and designations made pursuant to, et cetera, shall not be subject to judicial review. Designating an…

Yes, but the NSF research at $246 million allocated for this, earmarked for this program, so it comes from this earmark and from nowhere else, and therefore the figures that I just gave, which is that this earmark out of that total…

No one claims that public housing or Section 8 solves poverty. What Section 8 does, which is what we are talking about here, is to enable people, working people for the most part who are making minimum wage and who cannot afford decent…

I do not think I would call the work of the staff sloppy. I would think in view of the haste it was hasty because of the committee schedule.

Monica Lewinsky testified that no one asked her to file a false affidavit. There is no evidence that the President asked her to file a false affidavit, and the President did not see or ask to see the affidavit. There is no evidence to…

Again, referring to the last gentleman, repeatedly saying an untruth does not make it true. I will remind the gentleman, the judge ruled that the Monica Lewinsky affair was not material to the Paula Jones case, and the President…

It is a coup d'etat when you impeach a President for allegations that even if true the overwhelming majority of constitutional scholars say are not impeachable offenses. It is a coup d'etat when most of the prosecutors who testified in…

The Republicans say we are not contesting any fact allegations. The fact is there were no fact witnesses brought before the committee, there were no specific perjury quotes, no specific alleged lies cited in the articles, and I ask the…

On the provision that this House voted on the instructions to conferees, we said that the bank should not be able to cancel the credit card for the sin of the cardholder having paid on time, and they should not be able to charge an extra…

I just want to observe that I was elected to represent 600,000 citizens or residents of the city of New York, not to represent the city government of New York, which is interested in squeezing money out of people it should not be able to…

We are talking here about people who pay their debts on time every month and for whom the credit card companies now want to say they cannot get credit because they pay their debts. That is what the subject of this motion is. So let us not…

The 40 percent of credit card holders who pay their bills on time should not have their credit withdrawn for that or be discriminated against in other ways.

Mr. Speaker, the 1990 amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act created two new Visa categories, O and P, which provide for the temporary entry of aliens who have extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or…

I just want to point out two points. One, this highway was not on the priority list submitted for the ISTEA act or the T.E.A. 21 act by either the city or the State. Neither the governor nor the mayor submitted it. The second thing I would…

I would like to explain that. First of all, I offered the amendment for the first time 3 years ago, and we have adopted it 3 years running. These organizations have supported my amendment. They recognize the wisdom of it. I appreciate…

I would again implore the gentleman to accept the amendment because it will not affect the space station, 21 million, it is so tiny a percentage of it, but it will really affect HOPWA.

The fact is we have great unmet needs for housing for people with AIDS. The committee made an intelligent decision, and now to cut the budget by $21 million, by almost 10 percent for veterans needs which are also there, I do not understand…

Let me just suggest if the gentleman would accept the amendment, I would support his amendment. If he does not, I have to oppose his amendment. I think the space station, regardless of how colleagues voted on the Roemer amendment, $20…

I just want to say, I do not doubt for a moment the integrity and the word of the gentleman from Illinois, the chairman of the committee. I am sure that he did exactly what he committed to do and asked the Committee on Rules for an open…

I have always feared that this might lead to some witnesses not coming forward. The gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Chabot) suggested a way out of this dilemma, and I am delighted to join him in offering this amendment.

I rise today to oppose the removal of the name of the father of our country from Washington National Airport. While there are many people in American history deserving of recognition in their role in the development of our country, I do…

It is a very simple bill. It does something we certainly should do, to enable those American veterans who served in the Armed Forces after February 28, 1961, when the first American troops accompanied South Vietnamese troops on patrol, but…

Mr. Speaker, this bill will impose stiffer penalties for thefts and acts of vandalism that involve a national cemetery. When someone desecrates a gravesite or steals a headstone, that is an especially vile crime, especially vile when it is…
