section 103 reads, ``None of the funds made available in this act may be used by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to promulgate, issue, implement, administer, or enforce any proposed temporary or final standard on…

it is a buy-American amendment. It is the sense of the Congress that any money expended be used where possible to buy American-made goods, there be a notice made to the people who get this money, and after it's all over and they do the…

the World Trade Organization ruled that an 84-year-old American law duly passed by Congress, designed to stop illegal dumping was, in fact, no longer legal. The WTO sided with Japanese steel imports saying that the American law is a…

an Iranian defector said Iran was responsible for the bombing of Pan Am 103, not Libya. No kidding, Sherlock. The whole world was told that years ago, but the Justice Department turned their back. Reports said that Iran hired the Syrians…

Ronald Reagan opposed Communism with a passion. Reagan once even said about the old Soviet Union that they were an evil empire, and the Communist world was stunned. They were angered over Reagan's statement. But Ronald Reagan never…

a memo now proves that the FBI urged Janet Reno to stop investigating illegal Chinese campaign contributions to the Democratic Party. Janet Reno was told she would lose her job. Janet Reno did not lose her job. Until this day, the Justice…

military experts say that China just bought 24 cruise missiles from Russia. They now say American ships are now, quote/unquote, dead meat, dead meat. Think about it. We give Russia foreign aid. Russia builds missiles. Russia sells the…

this amendment calls for an update from our intelligence community on the effects of foreign espionage on United States trade secrets, on, in fact, our patents, our technology development, our industrial complex, our military industrial…

I believe if America would have investigated allegations in the Chinese meddling into our political system and to buying and spying on our military secrets and technology, if we would have spent as much money on that as we spent on…

there is no war on drugs or terrorism in America. There is a war on kids. There are more prisons, more police, more Federal agents, more drugs than ever. It is unbelievable. The reason is very simple. Our borders are wide open. Wide open…

I cannot even believe this debate. Is the border a national security checkpoint or not? Are we guarding borders in the Mideast? Are we vaccinating dogs in Haiti with our military; building homes overseas? I am not worried about the small…

Mr. Chairman, the amendment calls for the training of regular and reserved troops. It prohibits making arrests. They are not involved with illegal immigration. Their purpose is to support preventing terrorists from entering our Nation, and…

who is lying about Waco? Scientist Carl Ghigliotti said the FBI lied, that they did fire automatic weapons into the burning building. But Vector Data Systems of England said the FBI did not lie. Two scientific groups totally disagree. But…

Reports show that the FBI lied about Waco. The FBI denied using tear gas until a memo was found and they were forced to admit it. The FBI then confiscated all autopsy reports of victims at Waco and now claims they lost it. In addition, the…

we will be participating in building a facility in Italy that will be covered by Italian law that will limit all contractors to be Italians. My language is not restrictive. All it says is, abide by our buy American law and if anybody has…

scientist Carl Gilliotti, a contract expert for the FBI who was deemed extremely competent by the FBI said, ``The FBI lied under oath about Waco when the FBI testified that they did not fire automatic weapons into the burning building.''…

something does not add up. China is taking $80 billion a year out of our economy now in trade surpluses, and reports say that China is buying tanks, planes, submarines and missiles with our cash. There are also reports that further say, my…

Carl Ghigliotti, the 42-year-old scientist who investigated the Waco massacre, whose body has been missing for 2 weeks, was found dead. Ghigliotti is the man who flat out said, "The FBI is lying about Waco. The FBI did fire automatic…

the courts started their assault on God by banning school prayer. The courts then banned the public display of the Christmas nativity scene. The courts then banned students from writing papers about Jesus. Now, if that is not enough to say…

I would like to see that it be possible that American taxpayer dollars be spent to buy American goods and services.

China is methodically developing a powerful military presence. China is building and buying missiles, tanks, aircrafts, and submarines. What China has not built, China has stolen from Uncle Sam, no less. To boot, China is doing all of this…

on March 23 in my district a 12-year-old boy took a loaded gun to school. Thank God, no one was hurt. But guess what, Mr. Speaker. The gun had a trigger lock. The boy simply searched for and found the key and, bingo, the gun was at school…

it is a very forthright little handwritten amendment. The gentleman from New York (Chairman Boehlert), who has reserved the right to object, should make note of the fact that it is like a reinforcement that there is a Buy American Act that…

If we want the administrator to say that it is the sense of Congress to abide by the Buy American Act, I do not know why we should pass the Buy American Act. What is the use of a law if we make it a sense of Congress and they do not have…

I have evidence that certain FBI agents in Youngstown, Ohio, have violated the RICO statute, and I shall prove it. For years they were owned by the Mob; but now they have made a big mistake, Mr. Speaker. Youngstown FBI agents stole large…
