We all know that we have a spending problem. We all know that it has to start somewhere. Some may suggest that these amendments I am bringing up are not going to solve the problem. But I will suggest that we have got to start this process…

I think the gentleman from Massachusetts makes my point for me. Why would we be sending money to communities that don't have a plan to use it, that may not use it effectively? I would think before the decision is made to grant the funds to…

On this day 20 years ago, the Americans with Disabilities Act became law. And to the majority leader, who played a big role in making that happen, and Mr. Sensenbrenner and other Members, I want to say congratulations to all of you. And…

I think all of us realize that while Father Coughlin is here to lead us in the opening prayer or to work with other ministers who come, he is also there for our spiritual guidance--days when we're sad and, frankly, days when we're happy…
