In the past few weeks, thousands of doctors from the frontline in the global fight to save women's lives were here in our Nation's Capital as part of the International Federation of Gynecologists and Obstetricians conference. Many of these…

while there are still areas of this bill that need to be revised, I would like to commend the Conference Committee Members for including in this report $5 million for the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act's Interagency Working Group. This…

after nearly 5 years in Peruvian prisons, my constituent, Lori Berenson, could finally be coming home. Last week, the military tribunal that gave Lori a life sentence announced that her conviction is being overturned and her case is being…

Mr. Chairman, I strongly and firmly support his amendment, as does the mayor and the governor, and really in a bipartisan spirit, the delegation of New York State. Along with the gentleman from California (Mr. Horn), we held a series of…

Last year when my chief of staff was expecting a baby I inquired what the Federal leave policy was, and I was surprised to learn that there is no paid leave for the birth or adoption of a child. There have been many news articles talking…

once again, as I have every year that I have been a Member of Congress, it is my distinct honor and privilege to commemorate the 26th anniversary of the 1974 illegal Turkish invasion of Cyprus. Over 77 members of the Hellenic Caucus join…

I am really here to join two previous speakers, the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson-Lee) and the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Lee), who were with me today at the United Nations Security Council in New York where the United Nation's…

First and foremost, family planning helps prevent abortion. No U.S. dollars are used for abortions around the world. This amendment is about saving women's lives. It is about women dying to the tune of over 600,000 a year. Mr. Chairman…

I rise, as I have many times, in opposition to the Burton amendment, and for our continued support for the world's largest democracy. Mr. Chairman, I rise today to express my strong opposition to this ill-conceived amendment. This…

the gag rule has created a policy that increases the number of abortions and it also threatens the lives of many young women. Last year, this body added in law an international family planning gag rule for other countries that is…

I really feel that there is not a point of order to this because it really is an incredibly important crisis in our country, and I would like to have the opportunity to compliment the gentlewoman from Ohio (Ms. Kaptur) for her leadership…

I am a big fan of the census, and my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are to be congratulated for fully funding the decennial census over the past 3 years. However, the competing pressures for funds in this bill have left other…

Mr. Speaker, withdrawal from the WTO would isolate the United States from the international economy. I oppose the resolution. In today's Internet-based, lightning-fast economy, it is critical for the U.S. to have the ability to resolve…

here we go again. Every year the Majority party underfunds affordable housing in the appropriations process and every year the President and Secretary Cuomo are forced to negotiate for every last family in an omnibus bill. Unfortunately…

We are at the beginning of a new century which is more information, more wired, and technology driven. Our evermore global new economy is changing the way Americans work and communicate with each other. This conference committee report is…

In New York City alone, over 37,000 families are on the waiting list for subsidized day care. Yesterday, I joined Vice President Gore, Mrs. Gore, and Rosie O'Donnell at a day care center in my district where Vice President Gore outlined…

I am truly displeased to have to rise in opposition to this bill. As the managers have stated, this legislation carries great importance for the transportation funding needs for the country going into the future. Nowhere is there a greater…

I rise today to protest the House leadership's continued refusal to enact reasonable gun safety legislation. We are now one week from the first anniversary of the tragedy at Columbine. But instead of reasonable legislation that requires…

I think what he just said he said it beautifully. Added to his words are Senator John McCain who recently exhibited the kind of leadership all Members of Congress should emulate, when he urged all Americans to fill out the entire census…

this is census day plus 10. My message to the American people is, if they have not already filled out their form, please do so now and mail it in. Be part of this great civic ceremony. As of today, over 61 percent of Americans have…

Participation in the census may also be harmed by the political grandstanding it continues to inspire. Presidential candidate George W. Bush has criticized the long census sent to one in six American households as some sort of government…

I rise today in support of international family planning. Today international guests from Kenya, Albania, Nigeria, Colombia, and Bangladesh will be visiting offices and participating in a forum cosponsored by the Congressional Caucus on…

Mr. Speaker, from Friday's Journal Sentential in Milwaukee, ``Census too Important to Ignore'' is the headline, ``There are also plenty of members of Congress who are now in a huff, saying they sympathize with citizens threatening to fill…

this is Census Day plus three. My message to the American people is that if they have not already filled out and returned their census questionnaire, do it today. Do it this very minute. It is everyone's civic responsibility. I am very…

How harmful to this important civic exercise. How irresponsible and unpatriotic. With their thoughtless comments, they feed mindless anti-government sentiment. Do they really think they can govern better by knowing less about America? They…
