NAN A. S. HAYWORTH

This is not a game nor an athletic event, nor an exercise in partisan politics. ... it is time for Washington to sacrifice so that working families can keep more.

Indeed, if we wanted to compare independent prosecutors, one need only look so far as the efforts of one Lawrence Walsh in the so-called Iran Contra affair, an investigation that continued, if memory serves me correctly, for upwards of 7…

Indeed, as my colleague from Georgia points out, how profound the gulf between the assertion of the then President-elect in late 1992 that it was his intent to have the most ethical administration in history. How wide the gulf between that…

Let me congratulate my friends from the other side for again trying desperately to shift this focus to another Member of Congress, who has endured great criticism in the media, as have other people who are not Members of Congress. The name…

I know the gentleman realizes how important our constitutional and treaty obligations are to Native Americans, and I believe with the changes that have been made, this amendment now protects the unique nature of tribal colleges, a unique…

I also appreciate the gentleman's revision of American history because the gentleman, I know, swore to uphold and defend the Constitution. Let us just simply read the first clause from article 5, Mr. Speaker. The Congress, whenever…

When our friend steps to this floor and advocates the notion of sunset, he does not imply that every bit of government will sunset. He simply asks for increased accountability. That is important. That is one of the notions behind our…

And lest anyone misunderstand, because I have a funny feeling in view of what some folks in this chamber say distinctly and want to come back and amend, and certain ad campaigns that have existed in the past to take legitimate comments out…

I do not believe too much can be said about what welfare reform means. [...] What we have seen is a change in attitude. We have changed the paradigm, in that buzzspeak of the late 1990s, to take a different outlook.

So tonight, Mr. Speaker, and my colleagues and fellow citizens, it is important to reaffirm what it is we believe, to stand and celebrate the notion that we are free in this constitutional republic to worship God according to the dictates…

And what is remarkable, Mr. Speaker, is the fact that this is recent history; this is within the last 3 years. I remember sitting here on the front row when we talked about the budget plan where we dared to dream, less than 100 Members of…

I worked with the authors of H.R. 123 to include certain sections of the bill that recognize the unique status of Native Americans under our Constitution and various treaties. Section 167 of H.R. 123 explicitly states, ``Nothing in this…

The White House agrees to a transfer of nuclear technology to the Communist Chinese in exchange for a written promise that the Chinese will not share that technology with Iran. We are not talking neckties or nectarines or notebooks. We are…

I just want to say, I thank those in the Sixth District of Arizona and those nationwide who join in this endeavor, in this crusade to make our tax laws fairer, to work to restore basic constitutional dignity and to restore fiscal sanity to…

No, indeed, to the best of my recollection, and I must confess, Mr. Speaker and to my colleagues here, I do not have a detailed history at my fingertips. It is my understanding, however, that as things changed in our society, as the 16th…

I heard a lot of what my colleagues heard back home during town hall meetings; an almost universal urge on the part of those gathered to move to sunset the current Tax Code by a date certain.

I listen with sadness to my colleague, the gentlewoman from Texas, because good people can disagree, and to impugn the motives of those who simply want to give parents parental choice, all parents parental choice.

I think, instead, that we would be better off as a country and as a Congress representing those in our country to really try to work for a restoration, a restoration of what this document intends, enumerated powers specified in the…

When Congress reauthorized the Impact Aid law in 1994 and created section 8007, it envisioned this part of the Impact Aid Program to be funded at a minimum of $25 million each year. Section 8007 has only been appropriated at $5 million…

What I am saying is that when we come to this floor through the amendments process, as my colleague from North Carolina who has served ably in this Chamber for many years understands, this is the chance for us as a collective body to sit…

Each board member of the NLRB has anywhere from 18 to 22 lawyers on his staff and yet, as I understand it, here across the street in our third branch of Government at the Supreme Court, the Justices of the Supreme Court have anywhere from…

It may be different work, but certainly an entirely separate branch of Government in the Supreme Court has work of no less importance. And yet to see the numbers of folks employed at the NLRB and to see the extravagance I think is a great…

Mr. Speaker, there is a difference between deliberation and dilatory tactics. Sadly, this Justice Department, in deciding to decide to perhaps one day to decide if there should be independent counsel to check into the alleged wrongdoing of…

People work hard for the money they earn. They ought to hang onto more of it, send less of it here to Washington D.C., and in the process as we prepare for a new century we ought to focus on the notion of transferring money, power and…

I daily give thanks for this institution where we are free to express different ideas and opinions. It is worth noting that my distinguished colleague from Texas offered precisely that: Her opinion based on spurious facts, claiming damage…
