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…

The Public Record
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…
Mr. Clinton maneuvered to avoid military service in 1969 during the Vietnam War.
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…
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…
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. 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…
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…
I offer congratulations to you and congratulations to every hard-working American taxpayer. Or should I say offer condolences? Because at long last, today, May 7, is tax freedom day. We have heard a lot of talk, a lot of playground taunts…
Let me say, Mr. Speaker, to my friend from California and also my friend from Georgia, as we talked about what in essence has become the act of extending welfare as we know it, and my friend from California especially knows this, we are…
Reclaiming my time, little wonder, then, that the so-called credibility gap of the 1960s... should expend yet $8 billion more of those dollars which we do not have, it is an incredible assertion, not something to be championed or…
Reclaiming my time, I know of no one who works from dawn to dusk to provide for their families who could do that for 20 hours a week.
No, it is not extreme to let the American people have medical savings accounts so that they can decide how to spend their health care dollars. Mr. Speaker, the fact is that will help American taxpayers and the hard-working men and women of…
The challenge for us at this juncture in our history is to ask this question: Who do we trust? Do we trust the American people, do we trust local officials, elected by the people close to home, officials elected to State government, the…
Yet at the same time I am heartened by the fact that the gentleman from Maryland, as well as my friend from Michigan and my friend from Georgia, all recognize this central theme, that it is not centralization of power or a…
The budget that the gentleman at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue now advocates to try and bring our budget into balance would be akin to me saying I need to go on a diet. I think we can all acknowledge that fact. I think I am going to…
There could not be a greater difference in Government than the difference that exists between the 103d Congress, held captive by the proponents of big Government and more and more centralized planning and more and more taxation and more…
The fact is that the rights of every American are best protected when we uphold this document, the Constitution of the United States. The fact is that the most publicized murder of this decade, indeed of this half century, involved a…
There is nothing ignoble or selfish or somehow lacking civic-mindedness for people wanting to hang onto more of their hard-earned money and send less of it to Washington. Mr. Speaker, you know something is wrong when the average American…
Imagine, a single mother with three children, $1,500 in her pocket. What would that mean? I think it would mean a lot.
I am appealing to the good sense of bipartisanship, as we have so many friends here on the other side.
I ran into a reporter who will remain nameless, from one of the major television networks. "How is it going, Congressman?" "Great." "Did you see the headlines in the paper? It says President embracing GOP agenda." This reporter said, "You…
For too long those who have come to this Chamber have always found a reason to say yes; have always found a reason to spend more and more of the American taxpayers' money. For almost a half century, it has been fact in this city, in this…
Are we willing to rob future generations to pay the seemingly endless bills of today? That is the bottom line on this issue.
I believe, as part of the Corrections Day, this piece of legislation is eminently reasonable because it resolves a problem that agricultural interests and endeavors have experienced with the Clean Water Act. H.R. 2567 will modify the way…
