as we begin contemplating the debate on the crime bill in the House, the American public should know that during the trial of the World Trade Center killers, those terrorists who killed six people, terrorized thousands, injured hundreds…

At this very moment, Pennsylvania is being hit yet again with a severe winter storm, the proportions of which are yet to accumulate in the Commonwealth. This brings us to a point where we must repeat the history of this winter thus far for…

I may agree with those who are saying that it is not our health care system that is in crisis but, rather, our welfare system that is in crisis, when I have learned and have now acted upon, as many others have, on the proposition that the…

I am hopeful that as the Members come to the floor, they will picture in their mind the following scene. A high-ranking, high-profile Member of Congress is accused of wrongdoing in one form or another, and that accusation, that allegation…

I subscribe to the statement that the gentleman made, but that does not preclude the new wave of authority that we want to put in the Attorney General to investigate wrongdoing in Members of Congress, high-profile Members of Congress, who…
