NAN A. S. HAYWORTH

Indeed, if the gentleman will yield, I could not help but notice the frequent citation of alleged poll numbers, and just the inherent retail action not of sound economic policy but retail politics at work here. Again, and I know the…

It is really the game of ``Mother, may I?'' Or perhaps translated, ``Uncle Sam, may I?'' ``Washington bureaucrats, may I?'' ``May we make those changes?'' Well, a legitimate debate can continue on the role of the Federal Government, but…

I think my friend from Georgia again is absolutely correct, for it is the fundamental irony that there is a supposition or a presumption emanating largely from the liberal side of this Chamber which would purport that those with…

Mr. Clinton maneuvered to avoid military service in 1969 during the Vietnam War.

President Clinton has provoked a furor by asserting in legal papers that as Commander-in-Chief, he is in the military and a sexual harassment lawsuit against him must be postponed until his active duty is completed. The chairman of the…

But the sad fact is, by failing to end welfare as we know it, this President again has ensured that the safety net becomes a hammock for the very people who should be at work. Indeed, as the gentleman from Georgia is well aware, again in…

I would like to pause at this juncture to salute my colleague from the great State of Arizona, the dean of our delegation, the chairman of the Committee on Veterans' Affairs, Bob Stump, who is one of the workhorses here on Capitol Hill…

I just think this is a vital point to bring up, and I thank the gentleman from California in bringing it up. In all candor, Mr. Speaker, I thank the Secretary of Defense for being equally candid to tell us that today we are vulnerable to a…

Again, it begs the question, with all due respect, if it is good enough for the nation of Israel, is it not good enough, should we not be prudent enough to provide the same sort of missile defense for the people of the United States of…

And, indeed, to revise the numbers in the wake of negotiations with the Senate, indeed it has been our goal to raise Medicare spending per beneficiary beyond $4,700 this year to upwards of $7,300 in the revised plan, working in concert…

I think the observation to make to the good people of New Jersey is the gentleman from New Jersey, who fails to understand that, it is not so much that he is a product of New Jersey's system of education as much as he has adopted the old…

I believe the analogy is apt, and I believe there is a new development which we should share with the American people, reported first by our good friend from Texas, Bill Archer, chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means, a…

It is just interesting, because in other States, I could be corrected by my friend from California, that is very interesting. Legal services wanted to step in for illegal immigrants. Illegal aliens here in this country without a passport…

I believe those watching this debate tonight in the United States of America need to take a very clear-eyed, sober-minded approach to providing for our common defense and to understand that we are vulnerable to intercontinental ballistic…

Actually, all told, Government spending at all levels in the so-called war on poverty is now in excess of our national debt, $5 trillion.

Indeed, we should point out, as the gentleman from California is well aware with his knowledge of international policy, of foreign defense spending, that this President has committed to help Israel construct a defense mechanism, to put in…

And is it not amazing that for most commercial transactions, when any American citizen wants to go into a major retailer or any store, a grocery store, and wants to pay for the items purchased with a check, that that shopper must produce…

Not just allowing the American people to do so because realistically the power resides with the American people. Our system of government, our constitutional republic, provides that the power that many of us believe comes from a higher…

I would say, in fairness, I am glad that our friend, General McCaffrey, has been given charge of the war on drugs, but that does not excuse the fact that this administration has basically been AWOL in that war for the first 2 rac{1}{2}…

I think there is simply this fundamental difference. It may be a matter of degrees on the liberal side of the aisle, but essentially what our friends in the coalition are saying is this: "We can change the way we spend money, but let us…

I would simply remind my friend, the gentlewoman from Connecticut, that again she misquotes people, not only an interesting use of numbers, but with reference to withering on the vine. The full record indicates, as the gentlewoman from…

Mr. Chairman, the fact is this: that spending per patient will increase from $5,200 to $7,000 under our plan. That is no cut. There is no increase in deductibles, copayments, or premiums. And the gentlewoman neglected to admit that the…

Mr. Chairman, again today we have a graphic example of two differing philosophies: one philosophy which places its trust in an ever-expanding, ever more powerful Federal bureaucracy, a philosophy that somehow confuses the notion of…

It is time for truth, and the truth is the largest tax increase in American history, and this is a fact that my friend from Virginia, who champions deficit reduction, gets away from. The fact is the Clinton budget and the Clinton tax…

it is always with great interest that I come to the well, hearing the same old tired bromides from the liberals, including my dear friend from Ohio. No wonder there is more than a credibility gap; there is a credibility canyon. And today…
