NAN A. S. HAYWORTH

I thank the gentleman for 5 minutes, when really 10 seconds is needed. Just for the sake of pointing this out, when we talk about the extra-Constitutionality or the implication is that somehow these endeavors are unconstitutional, I would…

I watched with interest the befuddled stage business just preceding me in the well of this House, and as my good friend from Florida was flummoxed trying to make an argument for fiscal conservatism, it bears out the point that for the last…

History does not repeat itself, it rhymes.'' I am fond of that statement from Mark Twain. Our most recent history provided a continuing resolution. People may disagree as to the emphasis or the subtleties that I do not see appearing in…

I know he had a lot to say there and challenged to do it in a brief period of time. Again, before I yield to my friend from Georgia, let me respectfully suggest to my friend from New Jersey, again, as has been stated by my colleagues, this…

Our dear friend from New York truly did take a parting shot. We could go back and play historical revisionism and infinitum. The question is not who created a program, but who is willing to save and sustain it. I know no one in this…

To achieve the goal that is laudatory in the abstract, this President decided to levy the largest tax increase in American history on the people of this country. Again, good people can disagree, and the gentleman does correctly point out…

So, again, a majority of the minority here tonight did not support that budget when it was brought to the floor.

In all sincerity, I would say to the gentlewoman from New York, it is extremely distressing in a free society when the parameters of debate are agreed to, to have one party--no, I do not mean Republican and Democrat--but I mean one party…

Reclaiming my time, there is one thing that undergirds this, and that is a moral imperative for generations yet unborn and for our children, my son age 2, who will pay in excess of $185,000 in interest on our debt if we do nothing.

I find it especially objectionable, indeed, the gentleman from Florida, a fellow freshman, I suppose who is guilty of showing extremely good sense, the gentleman from Florida pointed out the fact that Federal Government, the executive…

Reclaiming my time, it is a fair question that I would like to answer. When the Chief Executive vetoes the balanced budget offered by this House and the other body, when the Chief Executive does that, then he puts upon his shoulders, if…

But let me say in candor to my friend from Florida, Mr. Speaker, that it is distressing to use partial quotes that are, in fact, the product of historical revisionism to try and score debating points. Here is the exact quote from the…

The question came, why do not we let this go, why do not we let the next election be the referendum on this, and I would respectfully suggest that again that is a postponement of what was decided in November of 1994, and we affirmed last…

At this juncture in our history, we have come, once again, to a fundamental argument as to the philosophy and purpose of government. In the preceding presentation from the minority party, I listened with great interest as time and again…

The other side will march to the well of this House and say that the new majority is trying to change Medicare to pay for a tax cut. That is just blatantly and totally false. The fact is the new majority worked very hard on a budget plan…

I always enjoy spending time of course in the Sixth District in Arizona, but I also enjoy returning to the well of this body to hear some very creative accounts of what has transpired here, and I appreciate my predecessor here in the well…

And if the gentleman would yield, I think it is important to note again for purposes of full disclosure, and again to bring some element of bipartisanship to this debate. Now I understand that Members of the new minority are taking their…

And you shan't during my time here. Although it is very good to listen to my friend, the gentleman from Georgia, outline the parameters of very important legislation which passed this House overwhelmingly, and we look forward to seeing it…

It is very difficult in the span of 9 or 10 months to reverse the inexorable trend of the previous 40 years. We are working very hard to reduce the size of government, to rein in waste in spending, to eliminate not only waste, fraud and…

We are going to keep the program intact, but the idea is we are going to move toward a better Medicare that offers policy choices like the medical savings account, like managed care through HMO's, and again, as the gentleman from Michigan…

I believe it is a point made quite well by Marvin Olasky in his book, ``The Tragedy of American Compassion.'' Somewhere along the line in this country we decided that caretaking should be substituted for caring, and so engrained has it…

Well, this is something very important because you asked me what on the minds of the people of the State of Arizona, and I can tell you that although Arizona is the youngest of the 48 contiguous States, Arizonans are very concerned about…

Let us hope for our society that we never go down the road where Government has grown so large, where it has taken over acts of kindness and charity to such a great degree that we denigrate those who would step forward through traditional…

That money is yours if you choose a medical savings account, and the notion is this. And I think we have to be very particular to restate, and restate and amplify, what is going on here. The gentleman from Pennsylvania touched on something…

Mr. Speaker, when we are here tonight speaking, we are not here to demonize those who come to these shores looking for a better life who follow the path of legal immigration, but it is summed up in the very description that I believe some…
