Sean Patrick Maloney

I rise in opposition. This is an antichoice, an antiscience science amendment. It is not just about RU-486. It is about FDA's ability to test, research, and approve any drug based on sound scientific evidence which may have as a side…

once again I rise to point out that the experts support the use of scientific methods to correct the census for undercounts and overcounts. Yesterday the National Academy of Sciences released the first report from the fourth panel to…

after the regrettably partisan fight that we witnessed here yesterday over the Census, I was tremendously pleased to read in the Washington Post this morning a statement by the chairman of the Subcommittee on the Census of the Committee on…

Mr. Speaker, I am deeply disturbed that the Committee on Rules did not issue an open rule on H.R. 472. Many of my colleagues have asked to speak on this bill and the limited time allowed by the committee will not allow for a full and open…

He said, ``The operation proposed in H.R. 472 will harm the ability of the Census Bureau to carry out its basic mission of providing the most accurate census counts for all purposes.'' And to end his quote, he says, ``It would put the…

My amendment will fix some of the underlying problems of the bill that is before us. But, in the final analysis, this is a very bad bill and should be defeated. There are three things wrong with H.R. 472. First, it calls for a repeat of a…

Mr. Speaker, the Maloney amendment enhances the role of local government in perfecting the census address list, while leaving the details to Census Bureau professionals. The Census Bureau Director Ken Prewitt has said that without the…

The record is clear. We need to defeat this bill. The U.S. Conference of Mayors in a letter this week said, ``A lengthy 1990 style post-census local review will do very little to address the persistent undercount problem. We urge you to…

Mr. Speaker, this is the civil rights issue of the decade. We know what the last Census gave us. We know that millions of Americans were missed, and that these Americans that were missed were primarily minorities and the poor from both…

Social Security is this Nation's foremost family protection plan. As the 106th Congress considers proposals to reform the current Social Security system, it is critical that we take the different circumstances of women into account. I have…

Mr. Speaker, it was not long after the Republicans took over Congress that they reached the conclusion that they did not like the use of modern scientific methods in the counting on the census. I am not sure how they reached that decision…

I never met Mo Udall. The only way I knew him was by reading about the issues that he stood for, the actions that he took in Congress, and as a leader. I always admired him. In 1976, long before I was ever elected to city, State or Federal…

I rise in support of the bill; and I applaud the hard work of the gentleman from California (Chairman Horn) and the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Turner), ranking member, in bringing this legislation to the floor. I would like to comment on…

I thank the dean of the New York delegation, the gentleman from New York (Mr. Rangel), for yielding me this time and being here with us as we all pay tribute to our dear friend and outstanding colleague, Tom Manton. It is always very good…

I rise to discuss the census lawsuits that will be argued before the Supreme Court on November 30 of 1998. Mr. Speaker, you sued the Department of Commerce to prevent it from carrying out its plans to use statistical methods in the 2000…

in my State alone over 300,000 women and teens rely on Title X for their only reproductive health care. Studies show that 80 percent of teens who currently seek family planning advice at clinics would stop going if they had to tell their…

I also rise in support of S. 2071. Extension of the authority of the Department of Commerce to conduct the Quarterly Financial Report is critical to the U.S. statistical system. This program provides financial data essential to the…

I rise this evening to clarify the status of planning for the 2000 Census. Some of my colleagues tried to give the impression that the Census Bureau is pursuing an illegal course of action by planning for a scientific census that will…

Our work here is important but it is far surpassed by the persistence that Holocaust survivors, historians, and researchers have shown in their search for the truth. S. 1379, the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act, which passed the Senate…

I rise in support of Mrs. Norton's amendment to allow the District of Columbia to use its own locally raised revenue to provide abortion services for poor women. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to put this vote in perspective. This is the 96th vote…

I rise in opposition to the Kolbe and Hefley amendment. The United States is an inclusive country. It is built upon the thoughts, beliefs, practices, of many countries. I am almost embarrassed that any Member of Congress would attempt such…

I would like to really respond to some of the statements that the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Miller) has made on this floor and in the many meetings we have had in the Committee on Census. He has often referred to a book called ``How to…

the Nation needs an accurate census, one that includes everyone. The 1990 census undercounted 8.4 million people. The count heavily disfavored minorities. Correcting the census undercount is the civil rights issue of the 1990s. The Census…

it is not only the National Academy of Sciences, it is every statistical association. We have many editorials that I would like to put in the Record from clear across the country supporting modern scientific methods. Also it was approved…

I rise against this bill. This is the first time that Congress has attempted to criminalize a medical procedure--a rare procedure used to save a woman's life and save her reproductive future. That's what it was for Kim Koster, who lives in…
