I rise to make a point of order. The Acting CHAIRMAN. The gentleman will state his point of order.

I make a point of order to the language beginning with quote, except that notwithstanding section 1452(n) on page 67, line 17 through water contaminants on line 22, violates clause 2 of rule XXI of the rules of the House of Representatives…

Mr. Speaker, a couple of quick points. The gentlewoman attacked this bill because Bush did not ask for funding for it. I would also point out that the Clinton administration did not ask for any funding for this bill either, but Congress…

Reclaiming my time, we are taking a look at that, and as my colleague knows, we attempted to do that last year, and we had a problem that sometimes occurs around here called shortage of votes; but I am hopeful that we can have an…

I am happy to see that today, after a firestorm of public criticism, we have an increasing appetite, both in Congress and the FCC, for punishing those who repeatedly flout the rules, and we have before us a strong measure, one that will…

I am very pleased to rise and ask my colleagues to support H.R. 985, which would duly honor a man who was my predecessor in this body, Congressman Del Latta. Del served for 30 years in this Chamber, and it was 30 years of distinguished…

I want to commend Chairman Tauzin, Ranking Member Dingell, and the others who have worked so hard to produce a conference committee report that certainly I am in very strong support of. In particular, I want to highlight the need to…

Mr. Speaker, I want to, in closing, just touch very briefly on this Davis Bacon question which a few groups have risen. There is no expansion of Davis Bacon in this bill. Brownfields grants are now done under section 104 of the CERCLA Act…

Today my colleagues and I bring environmental legislation before this House that we believe will make a difference in the lives of everyday Americans. This bill, the Small Business Liability Protection Act, will help to end the long…

Education is the foundation upon which the United States rests.

Defiance College, for one hundred fifty years, has prepared its students to be the leaders of tomorrow.

The coin to be issued is to honor the world's greatest inventor, Thomas Edison. The effort it took to get it minted reminds me of one of his most famous sayings, ``Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 perspiration.'' To reawaken America…

I rise today to reiterate the special and heartfelt sentiments that many of my colleagues have been making during the past several days. Last Friday, July 24, 1998, United States Capitol Police Officers John Gibson and J.J. Chestnut payed…

the amendment which the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Tanner) and I are offering would reaffirm in law a vital national interest, namely, that all Americans eligible to vote be treated in the same way by the Federal Election Campaign Act…

I rise in support of H.R. 1872. This bipartisan bill, of which I am a cosponsor, is intended to bring competition to the intergovernmental satellite organizations, INTELSAT and Inmarsat. It will also remove COMSAT's monopoly over access to…

I watched the President's speech last night. That speech and his State of the Union speech last year were the two longest I have heard in my lifetime. A thought came to me while I was listening to that lengthy speech about how we could…

the telecommunications bill we are introducing today is one of the most important bills to be considered in Congress in many years, and its passage will have a tremendous impact in America for decades to come. If this legislation is…
