It is essential that we defend what this country is about and what it represents so that we can indeed, counter enemies like Russia.

by number of sources- from the home office in Scottsdale, AZ, the top 10 falsehoods of 1995: No. 10, owners and players really care only about the game of baseball; No. 9, Republicans are cutting children's nutrition programs; No. 8, you can trust Connie Chung; No. 7, the protesters around here in recent days are not paid with taxpayer funds; No. 6, the media is fair and unbiased; No. 5, we need more Federal regulations, not less; No. 4, those six Democrats voted against a balanced budget amendment for principle, not for politics; No. 3, Bill Clinton really knows what he is doing in Mexico; No. 2, the President really wants to end welfare as we know it; and, Mr. Speaker, the No. 1 falsehood of 1995 we will get out early tonight.3 sources1995govinfo.gov
- I would commend to the attention of my colleagues words from the Mesa Tribune in March of this year. Mark Flatten and Chris Coppola write the article. "In Arizona, sewage must be treated to drinking quality standards before discharged so that it won't harm phantom fish in a dry river." The passage points up the challenge we face, the absurdity of regulation run amuck. For that reason, I stand in opposition to the amendment and in strong support of H.R. 961. I have good friends who sponsor this amendment. I have no doubt to the nobility and the aim and the intent of the amendment. Here is my problem, colleagues. It seems to me that though the amendment is born of a noble impulse, it assumes the worst about duly elected representatives at the State level. In other words, the assumption is that our friends in the State legislatures, that our friends in local and county government cannot move effectively to solve problems on their own. Indeed, the overwhelming sentiment and the underlying philosophy of the first 100 days of this new Congress was this concept: That those on the front lines can best fight the battles.2 sources1995govinfo.gov
- And if the gentleman would yield, I think it is important to note again for purposes of full disclosure, and again to bring some element of bipartisanship to this debate. Now I understand that Members of the new minority are taking their own fledgling steps toward coming up with a plan, and I welcome what in essence, according to one newspaper account, amounts to a, quote unquote, deathbed conversion after months of railing and ranting when we were willing to abandon politics as usual and say no. It is always better for a professional politician to try and explain away problems. No, we rather not confront this, the fact that we have come from different walks of life to serve here as citizen legislators and say to the American public this is an issue too important to play politics as usual, and so I think even though we had months and months of reticence, to put it diplomatically, from our friends from the new minority, now even they are understanding that the American people are not going to be satisfied with people sitting on the sidelines moaning, complaining, about very serious policy questions. So to their credit in fairness I am glad to see that many Members of the minority now say that they want to come up with a plan. However, it is important to remember this. Is it a fledgling step for political appearances that amounts to putting a Band-Aid across a very serious wound?2 sources1995govinfo.gov
- let me congratulate my friends from the other side for again trying desperately to shift this focus to another Member of Congress, who has endured great criticism in the media, as have other people who are not Members of Congress. The name Kathleen Willey comes to mind and many others who have been placed in a situation where, if they appear to make statements that are contrary either to the minority on this Hill or to those who now reside at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, are called into question, their character is called into question. But I think it is worth noting, if we accept for just a minute the premise that----2 sources1998govinfo.gov
