NAN A. S. HAYWORTH

I rise in reluctant, but vociferous, opposition to this legislation, fully named the National Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act. Mr. Speaker, I reluctantly, but adamantly, oppose this measure because it fails to deal…

As an Eagle Scout, I rise in strong support of this resolution and am heartened by the bipartisan outpouring of support for the Boy Scouts of America, as mentioned earlier, a movement that was chartered federally by this very Congress…

Mr. Speaker, S. 437, sponsored by Senator John Kyle and supported by a bipartisan group of our House colleagues in Arizona and New Mexico, represents years of negotiations among representatives of the Federal Government, the States of…

as we prepare to head back to our respective districts and likewise as we prepare to engage in the exercise that typifies this constitutional Republic, where our government operates only through the consent of the governed, I believe it…

Mr. Speaker, I think she offers ample evidence as to why she will remain the minority leader in this body unless she is involuntarily returned to the private sector where perhaps she can take up a career in writing more fiction. Although I…

I rise against the legislation, and I read the words of a young Arizonan now at war from the pages of the Arizona Republic, a letter. He writes, ``As I sit on this plane taking us to war, I can't help but think about who is with me…

Mr. Speaker, I listened with interest to my friend from Washington State not really discussing the merits of the bill, but discuss atmosphere and perception, and that is fine, as if families struggling to make ends meet are spoiled…

earlier this morning, I came to this well reflecting on the difference between holding public office and being engaged in public service. Public office is not a prerequisite for public service. Neither, Mr. Speaker, is public office a…

I rise here in support of the Social Security system and concerns about its looming revenue shortfalls. We heard from the esteemed chairman that this would only cost $500 million over 5 years. Now, the GAO says that that is not at all an…

Which is exactly my point. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 1 minute, and I would simply make the point in response that what we are dealing with here today, contrary to the comments of my friend from Rhode Island, sovereignty was not created…

Mr. Chairman, in May of 2004, the National Labor Relations Board overturned 30 years of its own precedent and ruled that it has jurisdiction over tribal government enterprises located on tribes' own sovereign lands. Where tribal law has…

Were not those negotiations conducted with sovereign tribal entities negotiating with the State of California on a government-to-government basis?

Sovereignty is not situational. The Constitution of the United States trumps the National Labor Relations Act. It trumps any treaty, and tribes, as sovereign governments, should have the freedom to determine if this should go forward…

I rise asking this House to reject this motion to instruct because when we take a closer look at what is transpiring here, we do see really a distillation, a distinction, of two different philosophies. One is the notion that the highest…

in front of the grand edifice known as our National Archives, where this Nation's records and a good bit of its written history is kept, are these words: ``What is past is prologue.'' And yet today, in the wake of last night's wire service…

Mr. Speaker, H.R. 142, introduced by the gentleman from California (Mr. Gary G. Miller), provides Federal assistance for three water projects to produce dependable water supplies in Southern California. The bill provides for the strategic…

Mr. Speaker, H.R. 3819, introduced by the gentleman from Washington State (Mr. Baird), would redesignate Fort Clatsop National Memorial as the Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, to include in the park sites in the State of…

Mr. Speaker, H.R. 1014, introduced by the gentleman from California (Mr. Radanovich), would facilitate better communication between the Secretaries of Agriculture and the Interior and those designated communities located adjacent to our…

Mr. Speaker, H.R. 2991, introduced by the gentleman from California (Mr. Dreier), provides Federal resources for two water recycling projects in southern California. The projects authorized in the bill would add an estimated 75,000…

Mr. Speaker, H.R. 4115 is a bill I have sponsored along with my friend and colleague, the gentleman from the State of Arizona (Mr. Flake), to resolve a problem affecting an Indian tribe in my district. It is basically a technical…
