Is causing a miscarriage murder of a two-celled zygote or not under this bill? Yes or no.

Reclaiming my time, the bill by its terms says that the lockbox ends whenever Congress includes in a bill the words ``we are saving Social Security,'' whether we have or not.

With all due respect, we did not get any commitment that this will be adhered to. I will predict right now, and I will say it on the floor, and, in fact, let me pose a challenge to the Republican leadership. I do not believe they are going…

Mr. Speaker, with all due deference, the best way, I do not know if it is the best way, but the easiest way to expedite the process of the bill is to walk out with a bill, have the majority members of the conference committee sign it, and…

I simply want to ask the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Gekas), chairman of the subcommittee, since he assured us a moment ago that this House has voted on this bill, can he assure us that the bill that we are going to see is the same…

I believe the only real purpose of this bill is to trap the pro-choice Members into voting against it so that they can slander us and slander the pro-choice movement as being in favor of infanticide.

I believe two things: one, that this is a situation that begs our immediate attention. This amendment is in the form of a nonbinding resolution calling on the United States government to begin to address this issue with world leaders and…

I must correct the statement made a moment ago. This bill does not grant any privilege to one group. I presume the gentleman meant doctors. The bill refers to 'all health care professionals,' doctors, nurses, physical therapists, everybody…

Reclaiming my time, I am not here to defend the Administration, whatever it uses or does not use recaptured funds for. I am simply saying, 60,000 new Section 8 units, even if we could recapture some and get 10,000 more, that is little…

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…
