I think enough. We have cut budgets as much as we reasonably can. Washington must remain a beautiful world capital. It is a beautiful world capital, but there are a couple of things I would like to ask a question of the chairman about, to…

after the billions of taxpayer dollars spent to end poverty, why do the welfare rolls continue to grow? Why can't we do better than the welfare system we have in place right now? How many more families will be trapped in the current…

Mr. Speaker, the Government costs--and the Government taxes that back up those costs--are spotlighted by July 3d as Cost of Government Day. These costs and taxes are siphoning money away from family resources. They are robbing millions of…

my colleagues will recall that we have fought consistently to get decent standards for frozen chicken, which, when it is thawed and then frozen again, creates tremendous bacteria. The Department of Agriculture has a lower standard than the…

I was shocked when I read in yesterday's Long Beach Press Telegram an article that originated in the New York Times concerning the administration's shelving of rules as they concern HMO's, health maintenance organizations. For years I have…

Mr. Speaker, all of us feel the loss of Bill Emerson because he was a friend to most of us and our condolences go out not only to his family, for which it is such a loss, but for the members of his constituency who could not have been…

I commend particularly the gentleman from Arizona, Chairman Stump, and the gentleman from Mississippi, former Chairman Montgomery, for this excellent bill that they have encouraged their colleagues to report to the floor. Along with many…

the recently passed omnibus appropriations bill was a historic achievement. With it, Congress significantly reduced the Washington bureaucracy. Nearly 200 outdated Federal programs were eliminated. This was a good first step toward a…

as America rushes forward into the information age, the Federal Government is not keeping up. Instead of using new technology to streamline the application and reporting processes that individuals, State and local governments, businesses…

I believe that if you are going to save the environment, you have got to follow the fifth amendment to the Constitution of the United States, just as the Supreme Court said you have to follow it with reference to the California coast. You…

the California coast is one of the world's natural treasures, and Californians know that they must preserve these wonderful shores so that not only will Californians enjoy them but people from all over the world will enjoy them. The…

there has been a campaign of misinformation about this legislation. Americans have been told that this bill would deny them continued health insurance coverage for alternative medical treatments. This is untrue. This bill does not deal…

the American people need to support this amendment. We need to support it. It is shameful that we would bend to the special interests and not vote for the Gallegly amendment. I fully support it. Mr. Chairman, the American people elected a…

Today I want to continue the discussion of the debt, deficits, and balanced budgets. This is a true debt speech. Some of the debt you hear about is only part of the debt. We are going to get into the unfunded liabilities again and what is…

the diplomatic recognition of the government in Beijing in 1979 did not end our relationship with Taiwan. The Taiwan Relations Act of 1979 formally reiterated United States support for the people of Taiwan. Since 1979, U.S. relations have…

Senator Dirksen, without question, was one of the great legislators of the twentieth century. That is why his colleagues in the Senate named one of the three buildings of the Senate after him. I spent a good part of 1965 in his back office…

what we have is an appropriations bill not signed by the President that became law without his signature in search of an authorization bill. If we care in this Chamber about adequate pay for the military, if we care in this Chamber for…

recently I came across an excellent address which had been given by a long-time friend of mine, Mr. Eugene T. Rossides, a very distinguished lawyer, formerly of New York, now of Washington, DC. It was upon the occasion of the 25th…

the gentleman that just spoke, I am afraid, is slightly confused on who is responsible for what. This bill covers part of the Federal Government, a part of which is mostly out and not working. But if we want to change it, we need to vote…

the closure process is an attempt to be objective. By and large it has been objective. It is not a generally partisan process. However, it is an intense process within the services and between the services where there are very high…

The politics of the services seem to be overriding. This year Admiral Boorda walked into a meeting and said, ``Let's save all the nuclear shipyards.'' There is only one nonnuclear shipyard and that is the one that is the most efficient…

You are absolutely correct, because unless we do, everything we do will be called into question, when it simply is not true. I think if we treat the voters as they are, intelligent, thinking, human beings, I have always found you get an…

If you will recall, a few years ago Members in this House were able to retire and take the campaign fund they had in their bank account with them. In some cases, that meant they could take $1 million into retirement. That no longer can be…

On that very point, I mentioned the Republican bill we brought to the floor in the 103d Congress. We had a compromise bill also that we tried to get to the floor. The Democratic bill came in where they want the public to pay for their…

And they would not let us get to the floor and the Democratic-controlled Committee on Rules refused to let us have a vote on Synar-Livingston. And obviously, I think we could have passed that. I think enough Democrats who were holding out…
