NAN A. S. HAYWORTH

So it is as if we had the scales and the thumb rather than, well, perhaps the heavy hand of government is going to rest on that scale to produce the desired outcome based on political pressure from the White House and the marching orders…

It is interesting because it evokes another visit to the political dictionary and the lexicon of terms that we find in vogue in our Nation's capital. We hear a lot of talk about compassion. When we stop and think about it, Mr. Speaker, how…

Let me see if this analogy works, because from time to time, the attorneys might say, there is a preponderance of physical evidence that I battle with my physique, the scale. This almost sounds like in lieu of weighing myself on a…

Well, my friend from Florida has cleared up one mystery. There are many citizens around this country that really wondered about the function of the Commerce Department to begin with. So at least now we know that the Commerce Department is…

In fact, since we are dealing with a crowd, of course, who give us different definitions for the word ``is'' and the meaning of the word ``alone,'' who tell us that China should be our strategic partner although we know now in the fullness…

As we discovered in working with Native American groups and other concerned constituencies in the field hearings in Phoenix, we have many Indian communities. While some enjoy an economic boom and take advantage of new economic…

To have this opportunity, I salute the gentlewoman from Florida (Mrs. Meek) and while there may be some questions of jurisdiction and some details to iron out with the Nation's governors and the respective States and the whole notion of…

I thank my friend the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Miller) for yielding. And I would likewise thank the chairman for his willingness to come to the youngest of the 48 contiguous States, the great State of Arizona, which did not enter this…

I commend my colleagues the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Schaffer) and the gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. Wicker) and others, including our very good friend, the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Weldon), who lead the delegation to the…

Let my say to my colleague the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Schaffer) and my friend the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Hostettler), Mr. Speaker, that we welcome this intellectual elasticity within the administration. We saw it a couple of…

Mr. Speaker, in the beautiful preamble to the Constitution, a Constitution we have sworn to uphold and defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic, there is the mission statement, if you will, to use the parlance of the late 1990s…

I wear on my lapel just above the pin signifying that this is the 106th Congress a pair of black horn-rimmed glasses representing the memory of the late great Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater. Goldwater brought a simple, plain-spoken candor…

the outrage continues to grow over the campaign cash and espionage scandal involving the Chinese and this administration. Quoting the lead editorial from this morning's Wall Street Journal, ``Bad enough that the Chinese have stolen the…

in the wake of shocking revelations of Chinese espionage, and the unlawful and unauthorized transfer of nuclear technology from our Nation to the People's Republic of China and the curious coincidence that the Clinton-Gore campaign took…

I wish that I did not have to rise this morning on this topic, and yesterday I am shocked by the emperor's new clothes mentality that engulfs our Nation's Capitol on issues as vital as our national security. For, indeed, Madam Speaker…

we just received two instances of the MO of the liberals on the Hill. It is fear and smear first, scare the elderly about Medicare, then come back and attack the new Speaker of the House. Very interesting. We have been down this road…

as my friends on the left continue to try to scare senior Americans, perhaps they should heed developments that are truly terrifying to all Americans. I speak of the unlawful transfer of technology and espionage by Communist China against…

What it should be considered at the very least is outrageous behavior that sacrifices the legitimate national and security interests of the United States to political designs, and political campaigns and of public relations effort, quite…

I would simply add, Mr. Speaker, my colleague, that those who watch around the world, Mr. Speaker, would do well to remember that ours is a constitutional republic with a Chief Executive who is, quite correctly, our commander in chief. But…

Mr. Speaker, what should be understood by the Communist Chinese is that provocative actions carry consequences. ... how else do we interpret those remarks other than a threat?

And, as my colleague I am sure will agree, Mr. Speaker, it is incumbent upon this House, if no one else, especially at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, will act as a steward of national security, it is incumbent upon this House, if…

Mr. Speaker, while it is true I did not have the opportunity to serve concurrently with Mo Udall, the fact is, evidence of his service in this institution abounds, not only in family members who have joined us in the 106th Congress and…

did you hear the one about the liberal who markets the politics of fear? I am reminded by the previous speaker that in this Chamber, 2 years ago, we heard that the elderly would be thrown into the streets and that schoolchildren would be…

Mr. Speaker, he said in Buffalo, New York, and I quote, speaking of the budget surplus, ``We could give it all back to you and hope you spend it right but,'' closed quote. There, Mr. Speaker, therein lies a major difference. It comes down…

I cannot help but remember that essentially the same welfare reform package intact was passed once by this Congress and vetoed by the President; again by this Congress and vetoed by the President; and finally, when it was sent the third…
