NAN A. S. HAYWORTH

Mr. Speaker, I heard time and again from residents of the Sixth District of Arizona how pleased they were that Congress is getting down to business and working to enact a balanced budget. As our colleague from New Jersey pointed out, the…

They defeated the Baltimore Orioles. Mr. Speaker, there are some denizens of this area. Indeed, as we look at the Speaker pro tempore, Mr. Gilchrest, tonight and realize that he hails from the great State of Maryland, that may be something…

I think that is a point well taken, and I would also add that let us give credit where credit is due. Indeed the leadership on this issue comes from both sides of the aisle. Our good friend from Ohio, [Mr. Traficant], has been insistent on…

Indeed, and I think it is very important, Mr. Speaker as we are here, to thank the gentleman from New Jersey for giving us a tangible answer of why balancing the budget is so vitally important. This is not some sort of esoteric economic…

I think that is a valuable note, but also I think the challenge is for us to find those good ideas to enact into law that can help empower educators on the local level, and I am glad my colleague from Pennsylvania, Mr. Fox, brought this…

I am struck by the energy and the enthusiasm, the creativity of those who join us in this 105th Congress: our colleague, the gentleman from New Jersey [Mr. Pappas], and also one of your colleagues, the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr…

I would also try to put at ease the mind of my good friend from Ohio who rose in support of this amendment who said he was not that fond of voting for constitutional amendments. He was somewhat reluctant. Certainly our friends in…

I hear from people of various political persuasions... there is an insistence, not born of greed but of genuine compassion and old-fashioned Yankee ingenuity, that people want to hang on to more of their money to save, spend and invest as…

I just would like to thank my colleague from California, because not only has he outlined the parameters of the problem, but he has offered a solution. Mr. Speaker, just simply to bring this home to Arizona, the Sixth Congressional…

I talked to one of my most important constituents, indeed, my most important constituent, my wife Mary. Ms. Mary's first question was this: ``How do we pay for all these programs?'' Will this lead to a greater deficit? And that is a…

In addition, as my colleague from Georgia points out, Mr. Speaker, in the process what we have done is something that is remarkably reckless and fundamentally unhelpful and unhealthful to generations yet to come, to generations who have…

it is a very important first step that we take these important steps, even as we look at broad based tax reform, that we offer tax relief and tax cuts. This is another area where there are some honest disagreements. Treasury Secretary…

And the other disturbing fact about this, and first of all let us thank the President for putting a budget on the table as a starting point, but there is a long way to go, the other disturbing fact about this, Mr. Speaker, is that 98…

Every dime appropriated at the Federal level should go to help teachers teach and help children learn. That is our challenge, that is our mission, and that is one of the things I will work on in this 105th Congress.

I think the point is well made. Again the message we want to share, Mr. Speaker, with those who join us via television is the notion that we can do a better job, use our resources in a more intelligent fashion when we focus on having…

That is what we want to work to change. We need to change drastically and, yes, even work to repeal this death tax. We need to work to change the system of taxation where people are penalized for succeeding in our economy. We need to hold…

I believe, quite candidly, Mr. Speaker, that the American people will accept nothing less than our pledge to end the IRS as we know it. One way that I think my colleague, the gentleman from Georgia, would certainly champion is to put the…

If we fail to balance the budget, that generation of taxpayers would have to surrender in excess of 80 percent of their incomes.

Mr. Speaker, I come to the well of this House today to voice my strong support for H.R. 3219. Washington has changed in a great many ways since many of us came to the Congress of the United States in January 1995. Chief in those changes…

Mr. Speaker, I would make the observation that despite the prevailing winds of what is politically correct, this is one of the few instances in official Washington where a description accurately fits the act it is describing, for this rule…

I stand in this well today simply to take note of the fact... the Committee on Veterans' Affairs serves as an example of what is possible when Members agree to rather commonsense, broad precepts such as a cost-of-living adjustment for…

because I have the utmost respect for my colleague from Illinois [Mr. Hyde], although I might have a slightly different interpretation of the events as he portrayed them in front of this body, and because I realize that there is a schedule…

$200 is a lot of money to hard-working families in the United States of America, and for people to have the opportunity to buy a home for the first time this amendment would empower those people.

I, too, rise to mourn the passing of our friend and colleague, Bill Emerson. Being a newcomer to the Congress, I reflected on the words of our colleague from Missouri, Mr. Skelton, on bipartisanship and actions speak louder than words. So…

I would suggest, echoing the comments of my good friend from Pennsylvania, when we think about the fact that this amendment would save the average FHA homeowner about $200 in savings on an annual basis and, while we are here talking about…
