The Public Record
America was founded by revolutionaries. America has a $300 billion trade deficit. I agree with the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Gephardt), the Tax Code is designed to modify economic behavior, and that is why we have to throw it out. If…
I support the bill, and thank the gentleman for yielding me this time. I associate myself with his remarks because he is right on target. I want to put a few things down on the Record. In 1899, the Director of the Patent Office said…
The Tax Code is unAmerican. It is also so big it would give King Kong a hernia. But the bad stuff is evident. The Tax Code rewards dependency, subsidizes illegitimacy, kills jobs, and chases companies overseas. Now, if that is not enough…
Section (b) states that, even though it is the sense of the Congress that they are not mandated to buy American, section (b) mandates that the agency shall at least make notice that the Congress encourages the purchase of American products.
I know there has been some talk about possibilities of sediment, and when they start their remediation program, it will involve cleaning up those toxic polluted areas. The point I am making is exactly that, that there are some areas that…
It encourages the purchases of American-made products. Anyone who gets assistance under the bill shall get a notice of Congress intention to urge them, wherever possible, to buy American-made products. Finally, anyone who is getting these…
This China-White House business bothers me. China's trade surplus with Uncle Sam will exceed $70 billion this year and it is common knowledge that China is buying missiles with American cash and then aiming those missiles at American…
Infrared video technology has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that rapid-fire semiautomatic weapons were fired into the Branch Davidian compound after the explosive fire had ignited. Yet all this time, the Justice Department and the FBI…
The Justice Department has attacked Bill Gates and Microsoft with a passion, literally trying to destroy the company. Meanwhile, the Justice Department refuses to investigate serious allegations of crimes involving Communist Chinese…
It does add $35 million. So instead of building schools overseas and vaccinating dogs overseas, the Traficant amendment adds some money for this significant project that Speaker Hastert has identified as a need.
As sponsor of this legislation, I want to give my commendations to the National Fraternal Order of Police and its auxiliary. We will honor more than 130 law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty in 1999, 130 who put their lives…
This is a great day for the Mahoning Valley and for the City of Youngstown. Both the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. LaTourette) and the gentleman from Oregon (Mr. Blumenauer) have given many of the credits; and I will not go into those credits…
The Mexican drug cartel crossed our border and opened fire on our security forces. Reports say the Mexican drug barons have placed a $200,000 bounty on any American border guard. Think about it. If these assassins kill five American…
My amendment is right to the point, Mr. Chairman. We provide an awful lot of money around the world, and many times these nations buy product made in Japan and China. I am very concerned that some day China, with a $90 billion trade…
I will vote for the previous question and the rule. Our military has been underfunded. We cannot protect America with a neighborhood crime watch. Congress should be bolstering up our defenses. I will also notify the Congress I will be…
Once again, the Supreme Court is considering a school prayer issue. Beam me up. The founders are rolling over in their graves. The founders never intended to separate God from our schools; the founders simply intended to ensure that there…
The Census Bureau is literally out of control. Check this out: Reports now say that the Census Bureau is, quote/unquote, willing to sacrifice a true head count of American citizens for more personal detailed information. Unbelievable…
After 80 Americans were killed at Waco, the Justice Department investigated the Justice Department. When half of the Weaver family was shot down and killed, the Justice Department investigated the Justice Department. When serious charges…
Legislation should not be necessary. The President and Congress should mutually sign a letter and send the letter to the kings and monarchs of these OPEC countries and tell them the next time they are attacked call Mobile Oil in the rotary…
I was prepared to assist and help with the passage of this bill, but I believe this bill is fatally flawed. I support the motion to commit because it is bad enough, Madam Speaker, that the district of the gentleman from Nevada (Mr…
This month the Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced that American homes are dangerous and ``a hazard to workers who work in their own home.'' Now, if that is not enough to bust your subdermal hematoma, check this out…
Reclaiming my time, here is what I am trying to tell the Congress. We have 300 years of oil trapped in shale rock. If we put Americans to work, we would not be dependent on monarchs and dictators. And we are still playing around now 20…
I want to offer to this Congress a suggestion, and I am not going to challenge the ruling of the Chair when I do offer my amendment, because I have too much respect for the Chairman on transportation. He would probably kill all of my…
19 years ago, I defended myself and was found innocent of RICO violations. Forensic tests proved that the Justice Department used a fraudulent confession against me. What is even worse, at my trial the FBI admitted they had evidence that…
The border is wide open. Heroin and cocaine are coming across the border at, listen to the report, ``record volumes.'' And nobody is doing anything about it. Now, look, when a 10-year-old kid can get heroin as easily as he can get aspirin…
Politicians like James Traficant
