I want to thank the gentleman for taking the time to talk about this very important section of our bill. I think we are all disturbed about the fact that the President came here and he gave a beautiful speech where he talked about all of…

It is hard to believe, is it not, I say to the gentleman from Arkansas, that we could actually have a package that has crime reform, welfare reform, health care, and incentives to business, some refunds back to the children of these folks…

Let me ask the gentleman, let us go back to the coffee shop in Arkansas. In fact, it would be fun to be there this Saturday to see their reaction. I am going to be in a coffee shop in Westerville, OH, this Saturday. If you went to the…

I do want to compliment the gentleman for what I think has been an impressive, a very impressive performance. And I do not mean performance in the sense of an actor, but I mean it in the highest sense of promoting an agenda for the Black…

Mr. Chairman, would the gentleman from Virginia say that the people across this country, the American family, would like to cut paperclips and printing and transportation of bureaucrats in part to help pay for this? Or does the gentleman…

I am delighted to engage in this debate, because I want to say to the gentleman from Wisconsin, the gentleman criticized our overhead spending, and the gentleman said that our overhead spending was a cut in these various administrations…

you know, I just find that argument fascinating about the gentleman criticizing our cuts in overhead. You know, this again is more investment in Washington, DC, and the bureaucrats as opposed to sending tax relief to families back to his…

You know it is incredible, but, when you add up the 110 programs, and the gentleman from Arizona has just pointed out that this House has even rejected some of the 110 programs, but when you add up the 110 program terminations in the…

Mr. Chairman, we enter into another chapter of the ongoing struggle in Washington to define our view of how the Federal Government ought to operate. I want to kind of go back to the beginning of the book and start at the beginning and move…

I want to thank all my colleagues for participating. I understand there have been a lot of calls coming into the offices of our colleagues from people all across America, the ones that we want to help. I hope that the public calling is…

There is some spending in that area. But I would say to the gentleman, we have not seen a crime package that is contained in this bill.

That is exactly right. And what we need is for the American people to stand up and say we do not like the Washington establishment. We want it changed. We want it fixed. We want to reduce the national debt, and how about a little bit for…

I think the comment the gentleman just made is so important. We are not trying to give away for today somebody's savings for tomorrow. What we are saying is that when the administration raised taxes by nearly $300 billion, we do not want…

You just keep running up that hill because one of these days you're going to get up on the top of that hill.

I wanted to kind of go through the process of what House Republicans did to put this budget together. Mr. Speaker, you might all remember that back last February the President came to Capitol Hill and he said that if you do not like my tax…

Part of the problem is that this administration says they are going to cut, but what they do is they cut this program and create another government program.

I would say to the gentleman, that is what makes the document so remarkable, because in every single year of the 5-year budget the Republican budget alternative has lowered deficits, every single year of the 5 years, totaling $150 billion…

There are some choices that have to be made in this bill. But what I want to say to the gentleman is if you are creative, if you are innovative, if you are not afraid of change, you can make mammoth amounts of savings, and you can use that…

I would finish by saying imitation is the highest form of flattery. We are starting to be imitated by the folks downtown. Ronald Reagan used to have on his desk a plaque that said you can get a heck of a lot more done when you do not worry…

I would say to the gentleman from Pennsylvania that in the State of Pennsylvania there are 2,322,808 children whose families would be eligible for this $500 tax credit. It would save the people of Pennsylvania, would send $1,161,404,000…

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve will still continue to exist. What we are saying is, and it is filled, we are filling it on a regular basis. We are saying, those monies that have been appropriated but not yet obligated for more oil does…

let me, first of all, again, compliment my colleagues on the Democrat side, the gentleman from Minnesota [Mr. Penny] and the gentleman from California [Mr. Condit], who have taken some heat on this, and the gentleman from Iowa [Mr…

I am trying to remain optimistic about the institution's ability to someday control spending. But I have got to tell you that sometimes that optimism tends to fade, because I have heard just a litany of people talking about how devastating…
