this morning I would like to pay a special tribute to a recently departed friend, Father Jim Willig, a dedicated and dynamic Catholic priest who was called by our Lord last month after a 2-year battle with cancer. Even while suffering from…
as we debate this bill today, I would ask my colleagues not to let partisanship cloud their judgment on this proposal. The purpose of this bill is to help people. This is not some great scheme to funnel tax dollars to religious…
The flag is the most powerful symbol of the ideals upon which America was founded. It is a national asset that helps to protect and preserve our unity, our freedom, and our liberty as Americans. As our country has grown and welcomed those…
The American flag serves a unique role as the symbol of the ideals upon which America was founded. It is a national asset that helps to preserve our unity, our freedom, and our liberty as Americans. This symbol represents our country's…
the House will today be taking up a very important piece of legislation, H.R. 503, the Unborn Victims of Violence Act. It is a very carefully constructed bill which will fill a gap which presently exists in Federal law. Right now, under…
it is an issue that clearly is a crime against unborn children and as well as the mothers.
Mr. Speaker, the Lofgren substitute amendment would provide an enhanced sentence for a violent crime that causes an interruption to the normal course of the pregnancy resulting in prenatal injury, including termination of the pregnancy…
Once again, we keep hearing the term, ``a woman's right to choose''; and I just want to say again that the woman chose to have the baby, it is the criminal that took away her right by killing her baby. And we are just trying to make it…
Mr. Speaker, we have once again heard this described as an assault on a woman's right to choose. I want to reiterate that the woman has made her choice to keep that baby. It is the criminal that took away that choice. We just want to…
this week is National Victims' Rights Week. I would like to take this opportunity to ask my colleagues in Congress to follow the lead of 32 States, including my State of Ohio, and pass a Victims' Rights Constitutional Amendment. The…
Jim and Carol Siniawski lost their little boy last month. Their son Justin lost his brother. I lost a special friend. It was an honor and a privilege to have gotten to know Jake Siniawski. Jake suffered from a rare blood disorder called…
even at a time when consumer confidence is falling and energy costs are skyrocketing and the economy is slowing, Washington is racking up huge tax surpluses. This is just more evidence that Washington is overcharging taxpayers and that we…
our current tax code is unfair. It taxes savings. It taxes marriage. It even taxes death. It is virtually incomprehensible, even to tax lawyers and to accountants. In fact it is even four times the length of the Bible. This week we have an…
I grew up in the age before Roe v. Wade. In those days, the idea of killing a baby in the womb because it was inconvenient would not even occur to the average individual. Elective abortion on demand, taxpayer funded abortions, no way…
if there were an award for the biggest government screw up of the year, the Census Bureau would win the award going away. The Census Bureau, which has been planning the 2000 census for 10 years, now sent out 120 million pre-notification…
Congress must follow the lead of 32 States, including my home State of Ohio, and pass the ``Victims' Rights Constitutional Amendment.'' This amendment will empower crime victims by allowing them to confront their assailants in a courtroom…
Cincinnati's Saint Xavier High School went to Columbus over the weekend and returned home with the Ohio State Division 1 basketball championship. Our hardiest congratulations go out to Coach Scott Martin and all the players whose hard work…
I rise in support of the Oil Price Reduction Act. Let us face it, the Clinton Administration has been asleep at the switch. Last month the administration's point man on the fuel crisis, Energy Secretary Bill Richardson, said, ``It is…
with the economy strong and our government taking in budget surpluses, the time has come to address some nagging fairness issues in our Tax Code. The House has already done that twice this year by passing relief from the marriage tax…
I rise today as both a Member of the Committee on the Judiciary and Committee on Small Business to urge my colleagues to support H.R. 2366, the Small Business Liability Reform Act of 1999, and I would like to commend my colleague from the…
Cincinnati has said good-bye to a wonderful lady and great teacher, Parma Samad, who died last month after a long, courageous battle with cancer. As a student in Cincinnati's Catholic schools, I had the privilege of being taught by many…
Mr. Chairman, despite some of the inflammatory language that we have heard this morning, I would argue that this is a very commonsense, a very modest approach to tort reform. There are absolutely no workers who will not be covered under…
On that point, reclaiming my time, the gentleman must have a very low evaluation of what most of the business owners and people in this country have in this country.
we learned a painful lesson in the not so distant past; that when the big spenders in Washington get their way, the taxpayers get the shaft. When the budget is drained to fund all sorts of pork barrel projects and special interest…
At the same time, and apparently with a straight face, the President calls for billions and billions of dollars in new spending programs.
