The Public Record
So we have to have more support services for them when they get to regular school, and then eventually they are going to have a larger percentage of the juvenile delinquents, and later on the criminals. We are just going to throw away all…
It is more reasonable to take the 5-year-old and 6-year-old as the cutoff point where the child is older and able to go to Head Start or school, kindergarten or regular school, and they are just going to overlook all of the evidence that…
We are driven by some forces that are irrational here. I said before I hope welfare reform does not become revenge on the poor where we throw away any reason because there is a scream out there by people who really do not know who the fat…
would the gentlewoman also agree that collecting from fathers who are not in the home, who do not have jobs, is almost an impossibility and so a jobs program is an absolute necessity for a large percentage of the fathers involved here?
I rise in favor of welfare reform. I am in favor of any form of reform of a Federal function or government function. Everything can be improved. But I hope the reform will go forward without hysteria, and without seeking to wreak revenge…
A program to train people for 1 year. In 1 year of training one can get certain categories of jobs: practical nurse, child care aide, and one or two others. So just to have a 1-year training, one gets trained for a job that is going to…
So 42 percent of the people do not need to be told, 2 years and you're off, because in less than 2 years they are off.
They become record clerks, x-ray technicians. There are a number of jobs where they can come out of the program and not only get a job immediately in the New York City area or the Brooklyn area, they can go anywhere in the country, because…
Is there any scientific evidence that supports their reasoning there in terms of the taking away out of the home, or they are saying they are going to cut them off in 2 years? It means a woman with a new baby, the baby is 2 years old…
I rise in support of the Unsoeld amendment. I do not want to be redundant, but this is not an amendment about values, this is an amendment about micromanaging and local control. Monstrous, monumental micromanagement would have to take…
I rise in support of the Congressional Black Caucus alternative budget. This is the most moderate budget we have ever submitted. However, we do take small steps in the right direction. We take steps in the direction of providing more funds…
today we will consider the resolution for the 1995 budget. All advanced briefings indicate that the House Budget Committee has engaged in a rubber-stamping exercise that adds very little insight and vision to the administration's monstrous…
I thank the gentleman, and would like to extend my congratulations to those members of the CBC that prepared this budget, and say that in the Congressional Black Caucus budget, we have the only budget which clearly refuses to accept the…
under this amendment, not only are the DARE funds guaranteed but the Governors' fundings are safeguarded by the fact that they will stand alone in a manner which will allow them to deal with the Appropriations Committee's criticism. This…
this substitute would separately authorize $100 million for the Governor of each State to support community-based prevention drug and violence prevention activities. I am offering it as a compromise in an effort to try to resolve this…
I rise tonight to update the situation in Haiti. I want to talk about our Haitian policy and the fact that that Haitian policy, and all of the activities surrounding Haiti presently, represent a mushrooming United States foreign policy and…
Nobody says how it should be done or, ``That's all you should do.'' We say, ``You should spend a minimum of 1 percent.'' They can argue that we have many other parent involvement activities that are not involved with expenditures of the…
Will the gentleman accept the amendment if I work with him to limit? Say we are going to go together to the Department of Education and work with them to make sure the regulation limits any reporting requirements to two or three sentences…
The question is, ``Why didn't you send a letter to the parents to come to this one important meeting per year in the mail?'' ``We didn't have the postage,'' the principal says. ``Why didn't you have the postage?'' You know, out of the…
I said it might be they spent $360 on stamps to notify parents of various meetings. Yes, that is a possibility.
Would you go with me, and, if I pledge to go with you to the Department of Education and, in addition to the language in the report which makes it clear this is no new reporting requirement, to make sure that they don't come up with…
Each local educational agency shall reserve not less than 1 percent of its allocation under this part for the purposes of carrying out this section, including family literacy and parenting skills. There is no requirement for proving…
the CIA must be downsized and disinfected. The headlines today provide us with new proof that the intelligence operations dinosaur, which devours billions of dollars, taxpayers' dollars, is corrupt as well as inefficient and out of…
in the current budget there is a recommendation to eliminate certain programs for the training of the unemployed. Programs which offer training for only 6 months have finally been declared unworkable by the Secretary of Labor. For many…
Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the technology-related assistance for the Individuals With Disabilities Act Amendments of 1994. The Subcommittee on Select Education and Civil Rights understands the urgency and importance of this…
Politicians like Major Owens
