NAN A. S. HAYWORTH

Mr. Speaker, to expound upon the comment just made by the distinguished chairman of the committee, we must rise in strong opposition to the Rangel substitute precisely because of its method of devising a so-called lockbox, because it does…

Let us reaffirm at this time, in this place, that the offices we hold are a reflection of public trust, and our presence in those offices does not reflect the institution one way or the other. Indeed, Mr. Speaker, let us reaffirm at this…

as I hear my colleague from California recount honest policy differences, I am struck by the words of that great and good man, Dwight David Eisenhower, the supreme allied commander in Europe, and later the President of the United States…

those tactics, Mr. Speaker, are tactics of desperation and depravity, for they fail to make the moral distinction between mistakes, sins, and possible crimes. There is a clear distinction in our society, especially for the latter category…

It is important to make the distinction between charges and crimes. ... no one, no one, no prince, no potentate, no President is above the law. For in this constitutional republic, if we abandon that notion, then one should simply take a…

I would say tonight, ladies and gentlemen who join us here in this Chamber and those who watch these words coast to coast and beyond through the facilities of C-Span and other satellite networks, that sadly a scourge has descended on this…

lest there be any doubt, we come to this Chamber, and indeed in the next few trying weeks this should be our cause. This, Mr. Speaker, should be our mission not to address the impending crisis as Republicans or as Democrats, but as…

I first pay tribute this afternoon to Governor Jack Williams, a dedicated public servant who served as Governor of Arizona during challenging times from the mid-1960s on through the early 1970s, an effective leader, a true public servant…

we struggle in vain to find the right words to try and make sense of the senseless. In the final analysis, we realize that no words can compensate, no words can comfort, no words can change the reality of loss confronted by the families of…

I had occasion to visit Arizona's pleasant valley, the small town of Young, Arizona for their annual Pleasant Valley Days parade, and then Saturday evening in a neighborhood townhall meeting in Mesa. Many citizens of the 6th district…

Indeed, as my colleague from Virginia accurately points out, in having lived through the experience firsthand in 1996, as the number one target of boss John Sweeney and the other union bosses of the AFL-CIO, who took from their membership…

Mr. Chairman, I have been examining this issue for many months now and have come to the conclusion that the White House Counsel's Office continues to use taxpayer funds to pay legal staff to work on the President's personal legal issues. I…

I am proud to stand strongly and foursquare in support of one of America's most fundamental rights: The right to work. ... I believe people have a right to join a union, but I also believe people have a right not to join a union. And that…

I just was struck by the eloquence of my colleague from Virginia, and I think, again, he has pointed out quite correctly, but it bears some repeating, because we all realize sadly that there are those who would attempt to deliberately…

In view of the fact that in several markets around the country, probably including Phoenix, the AFL-CIO will start an ad campaign, does the gentleman not worry about the constitutionality of attempting to abridge people's ability to speak…

a simple question. Does the gentleman have any evidence of any Chinese arms merchants giving money to the Bush-Quayle reelection campaign?

One further question, since the gentleman advances the argument that everybody does it, and he had his suspicions. Does the gentleman have any evidence that the Bush administration took any donations from Chinese arms merchants?

Mr. Chairman, I hear some encouraging notions from the other side, but silent assent is not enough, because, you see, despite the talk of soft money, hard money and all the different slang that is bandied about this House, there is a clear…

I come to the well in strong support of this conference report and the work performed by both Chambers on this hill. Mr. Speaker, there are many provisions that have been outlined, but in addition to the provisions, we can put faces and…

I rise to support the Thomas amendment. I also rise to discuss some very interesting comments made by my friend from Massachusetts, followed up by my friend from Maine. I appreciate my friend from Massachusetts quoting the late great…

Under a lawyer's definition, that would be existing law. It makes the point that there are those following the human impulse of gaining the system for their own selfish needs.

the gentleman is making my point for me. What I am suggesting that, through previous design of so-called campaign finance reform, a large segment of this society, through coercive tactics, have their contributions undocumented. To that…

Mr. Speaker, there are three words that would bring about genuine campaign finance reform. Mr. Speaker, those three words are these: Obey existing laws. I marvel at the cynicism of the punditocracy, to coin a new phrase in this town, so…

That is as false as false can be. The Minority Leader demonstrates in that statement why he will remain the Minority Leader if, in fact, he remains in this Chamber because I believe exactly the opposite is true. Mr. Speaker, we should…

To simply respond, it should come as no surprise my two friends in the well preceded those of us here in the Congress of the United States, and we realize for 40 years, and it eventually caught up with the left, the notion of saying one…
