Hon. Michael G. Oxley

today I urge the House to pass H.R. 1089, the Mutual Fund Tax Awareness Act of 2000. In some form or another, 83 million Americans, or one in every other household, are invested in mutual funds. While many are invested in tax deferred…

I would again thank the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Stearns) and the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Hall) for their strong leadership on this issue. In closing, I would only point out, Mr. Speaker, that I have had two discussions with the…

I want to address the House regarding the issue of religious freedom and religious broadcasting. A little bit of background, if I could. This whole issue began on December 29 when the Federal Communications Commission in a decision based…

It is a cold day in Washington, but the chill is on religious broadcasters. A word to the Members: If one has a religious broadcaster or people who listen to religious broadcasters in one's district, their rights have been compromised. The…

I want to talk about what the brave new world of financial services marketplace is going to look like and what it is going to look like realistically as opposed to some of the scare stories my colleagues are going to hear from the…

I rise in support of H.R. 10, the Financial Services Act of 1999. This is indeed an historic occasion, something that many of us have worked on for a number of years. As a matter of fact, this is by my count the 10th time in the last 20…

let me reiterate to the Members. Under the Oxley amendment, for the first time we are requiring financial services organizations to actually have a privacy policy. It has to be printed, it has to be explained to the customer, the customer…

Moreover, the Freed Center of Fine Arts stands as a lasting tribute to his leadership abilities and the commitment he and his wife have made to the university.

Over the years I have witnessed how DeBow Freed cares very deeply for his university family.

He knows inside and out how to guide a university to academic and financial success.

Today I rise to spotlight a very special individual who has unselfishly given of his time, energy, and spirit to others in the Fourth Congressional District of Ohio.

I wish Dr. Freed and his wife, Catherine, all the best as they approach this new adventure of retirement together.

Though he will no longer work as president for ONU, he will never be far from it in mind and body.

The month of August will pose many a challenge to Ohio Northern University since it will be losing its President to a well deserved retirement.

I rise in support of the four articles of impeachment. As a former law enforcement official, I have helped put people in jail based on the strength of witness testimony. Our entire judicial system must rest on the sure and solid foundation…

I also add my voice to the chorus of sympathy being sung on this day of mourning here at the Capitol for the Chestnut and Gibson families. To them we give thanks in the memory of their fallen heroes. We pray that their grief will be…

We have reached a critical watershed in the evolution of the financial services industry. Congress has been trying for 63 years to modernize our financial markets; trying for 63 years to allow banks to diversify their portfolios, to…

let me first of all say that it has been an excellent debate. I have great respect for the gentleman from Louisiana, as he well knows, and he certainly has expressed his position exceptionally forcefully and well to this body. Frankly, I…

the LaFalce amendment would strike down any ability of a State to regulate bank affiliated insurance agents. I want to make that very clear. The gentleman from Minnesota stated quite the opposite, that this amendment would provide…

again reclaiming my time, is the committee trying to tell us that it shares our strong desire for fully funding toxic waste cleanups?

I want to be sure that my understanding of the provisions in the bill before us is correct. As I read the bill, it appropriates $2.15 billion for the Superfund program, but $650 million of that money is effectively held in reserve.

The money will only be available at that time if we enact comprehensive Superfund reform; is that correct?

I rise in support of a productive engagement with China, support of American jobs, in support of the people of Hong Kong, in support of human rights, in support of religious freedom, and against the resolution disapproval. I have had an…

We in the Committee on Commerce interpret that as the need for a comprehensive reform bill. Finally, the addendum states that the Superfund tax shall not be used as a revenue offset. Does that reflect an agreement among the negotiators…

As I read the budget resolution and the conference report, together with some additional documents that the Committee on the Budget and the administration have issued, there are three separate items concerning Superfund. The bipartisan…
