I would mention to Members a Washington Post March 31 editorial. In this editorial, they call upon all Americans to fill out their Census form. I quote, ``All kinds of harm will be done if the count is defective. A politician not seeking…

These comments are irresponsible. Completing the Census form fully and accurately is not optional; it is a civic duty that is required by law.

Census day is 3 days away, and so far, the census is going very well. The Federal response rate is at 44 percent. Everyone can go to the census Web site at census.gov and get a daily update on how their localities and States are…

I too would like to join my colleagues, the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Bilirakis) and the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Gekas) in honor of the 179th anniversary that marks the Greek's national day of independence, and I thank the…

last week, there was a hearing before the Subcommittee on Health and the Environment of the Committee on Commerce concerning fetal tissue. Though the hearing was purported to be about alleged abuses involving fetal tissue for medical…

I agree completely that the census is about people, it is not about politics, it is about getting the most accurate count possible. Because the census is so important, we must do everything we can to ensure that everyone is included in the…

Census day, April 1, may be 17 days away, but the census has begun. Almost 100 million questionnaires have been delivered by the postal service this week, and 22 million more are being delivered by the Census Bureau in rural areas. I…

I will state that they would have, but the example of the rifle in the home, the degree of probability that a trigger lock would have been on that gun is if we had passed it into law. That would have been a provision of safety. We should…

I urge my colleagues and all Americans to support and participate in the census, to fill out their forms and mail them in and finally to urge this House to let the professionals at the Census Bureau do their job so that the 2000 Census…

last session, this House passed a sound and responsible managed care reform bill with solid support from both sides of the aisle. The conference committee has finally met and the appointees are now negotiating critical provisions such as…

I rise in favor of H.R. 2086. Investment in long-term fundamental information technology research is critical to the continued evolution of the Internet and to the economy of New York City and the country. I believe this investment in IT…

a 1-percent across-the-board cut is one of the most half-baked wacky ways to balance a budget this country has ever seen. One leg of the federal government that needs no budget trimming is the Decennial Census. And I thought the House…

as cochair of the Women's Caucus, along with the gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Kelly), together we are hosting a bipartisan meeting with Queen Noor of Jordan, who is making her first official visit to Capitol Hill today, to bring…

I rise reluctantly to support this rule because it remains the only way that we will get real campaign finance reform on the floor for a vote. The underlying Shays-Meehan bill is strong, bipartisan legislation that deserves the support of…

The $1.7 billion that was added was to do door-to-door enumeration, door-to-door count because of the lawsuit that was brought by this body. That is what the $1.7 billion is. Actually to use modern scientific methods would be less costly…

what bothers me is if the bill is vetoed, as the President has said he will do, then that will put in jeopardy the time frame of getting the money to the Census Bureau on time.

no matter what we do, we must fund the decennial census, and we have to stop putting the census in jeopardy. The Census Bureau needs full funding by October 1. The administration has requested $4.5 billion in order to count everyone in…

we are 250 days away from the census and, as my good friend on the other side of the aisle, the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Miller) has pointed out, this is constitutionally mandated. We have to have a census. Whether we call it an offset…

I rise in support of the DeGette amendment. Here we go again. Today marks the 127th vote on choice since the beginning of the 104th Congress. Each of these votes is documented in my choice report which can be found on my website. Access to…

I am rising really in opposition strongly to H.R. 987. This is a needless delay to give American workers the protection that they need and deserve. Since 1995, this is the fourth delay in 5 years. And each year the standard is delayed…

I particularly congratulate the gentleman from California (Mr. Horn) with whom I have worked in a constructive way on many pieces of legislation before this body and the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Gekas) who likewise led on this…

finally I am very pleased to announce that the administration has recently said that it, too, supports the bill. This bill will bring about a common sense reform that will make a tremendous difference for construction subcontractors and…

I rise in support of H. Res. 267, the resolution congratulating NASA on its successful Shuttle Mission STS-93, commanded by Colonel Eileen Collins, the first female space shuttle commander. Col. Eileen Marie Collins, who is originally from…

last year H.R. 10 passed this Chamber by one vote. In that version of Financial Modernization, there were no privacy provisions. This year things have changed. There are privacy provisions in the base text and there is this amendment…

It is long past due that we have a bill that brings our financial services into the 21st Century. We should be able to compete with other industrialized nations where financial institutions have been allowed to merge and bring a wide…
