NAN A. S. HAYWORTH

I thought for a moment there he was engaged in self-analysis when he talked about playing politics and who was holding whom hostage over reasonable relief for working Americans when it comes to taxation. Again, facts are stubborn things…

It is a fact that we have paid down over $140 billion of this debt. It is a fact that the budgeteers not here in Congress, but down at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue at the White House who assessed what has transpired here with our…

I am pleased that he embraces the notion of death tax relief for family farms. I am sorry he neglected to offer us the name of the source for his analysis that smaller farms would be helped. I look forward to a response on their side on…

I am so glad, in the spirit of bipartisanship now, that others in previous Congresses so reluctant to address this commonsense reform would join with us today for this landmark legislation. Almost 20,000 seniors in Arizona, 1.1 million…

I bring this House and the American people good news this morning, because I have just come from a hearing conducted by our Committee on Ways and Means, on which I am honored to serve. The good news, Mr. Speaker, for all Americans, but…

I commend and thank my colleague, Congressman Fred Upton, for introducing H.R. 2130, the Hillory J. Farias and Samantha Reid Date-Rape Drug Prohibition Act. On December 17, 1999, Tom Gugliotta, who plays for the Phoenix Suns, suffered a…

to hear my colleagues on the left talk about it in concert with other folks at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, it is very interesting to hear all of these calls for campaign finance reform, because, in fact, mindful of these pleas at…

Madam Speaker, the best example and the latest example is the confusing dilemma in which our Commander in Chief has placed the American people because he apparently has chosen to reward terrorists. It is sad to note the President of the…

I think the preceding two speeches offer a classic contrast where we come as a free people to debate ideas because my friend from Oregon who precedes me is caught up in the politics of envy. Mr. Speaker, I would suggest that as Americans…

I think it is important to actually take a look at what the President proposed in his so-called new markets initiative. Like many programs that come from the administration, it was heavy on overhead. Indeed, the new markets initiative…

does my friend, the gentleman from Texas, actually favor sampling over actual enumeration and counting?

It is one thing to lock your windows and doors and set an alarm and go on vacation and have folks cut that alarm off, somehow circumvent that system, come into what you thought was your secured home and steal your secrets. It is quite…

But, Madam Speaker, it is worth noting that our words and observations tonight carry to the American people not a paranoia, not a panic, but a clear, strong resolve that at long last those of us who are given the constitutional authority…

Thank God that we are a constitutional republic with rights guaranteed by the first amendment. To those who would abridge those rights, to those who would turn a jaundiced eye to the abuses of others abroad, to those who would dare…

I was honored earlier today to bring to this floor a measure that deals with the educational security of rural America, and it is worth noting that there was not a single member of this House present who voted against the legislation for…

I cannot help as a student of history step back and realize how prophetic were the words of our 34th President, Dwight David Eisenhower, in his farewell address when he told us to be mindful of the military-industrial complex, of those…

You see, it is not enough to pass laws in Congress. The fact is, prosecutors and those who would uphold the law need to enforce existing laws and need to obey existing laws. Mr. Speaker, that is one of the things I heard time and again…

Mr. Speaker, today we have the opportunity to come together as Americans, not as Democrats or as Republicans but as Americans, to pass an important piece of legislation that will make it easier for economically-challenged communities to…

I would invite every member of this House, with the technological capabilities we all enjoy, to post this unanimous bipartisan report on their individual web sites so that, Madam Speaker, those in this country who are citizens, who are…

I would be remiss at the outset of my remarks if I did not publicly acknowledge a debt of gratitude to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Weldon), who has been at the forefront of explaining to the American people and many of his…

I rise this afternoon, and first let me offer a debt of gratitude to my friend from Ohio who, in very Orwellian fashion, has offered the rhetoric of fear rather than facts that we will hear in Campaign 2000. Indeed, it is very revealing to…

on a day when American men and women in uniform may go into harm's way, headlines scream of Kosovo. That is a concern, but there are also concerns this morning in North Korea. The Washington Times reports this morning, and I quote, ``Vital…

I rise this morning to bring you news from home. In my case home is the Sixth Congressional District of Arizona, a district in square mileage almost the size of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and now with the explosive growth in the…

And moreover, my colleague from Florida made mention of the fact that I am also honored to represent more Native Americans than any other Member of Congress in the United States; indeed almost one quarter of the population of the Sixth…

I just have a thought, if my friend from Florida would yield. We hear so much talk in this city about civility, and, of course, we should recognize that the first rule of civility is telling the truth. But apart from that, we also hear how…
