Ukrainian famine, Madam Speaker, was a tragic period of history in which the Soviet Union inflicted a brutally repressive policy upon the Ukrainian people. This policy was designed to punish the people of Ukraine for its aversion to the…

I rise to support H.R. 2560. This is certainly legislation which is bipartisan. We thank the sponsor, the gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. Thompson), for introducing the bill, certainly congratulate him for his efforts in this regard and to…

The fact is that we would not be having this happy situation of a possible tax decrease if it were not for the fact that an historic balanced budget was adopted by the Republican-led Congress which has led to reduced costs for mortgage…

The fact is we have hotlines in this country for almost every imaginable purpose, but what could be more important than have a hotline to protect our children? And the fact is if we can have more than one method to make sure we protect our…

Mr. Speaker, children are at the heart of the need for this legislation. No child should go to bed hungry, miss a medical appointment, not have adequate housing or be deprived of quality education. We have no more precious resource than…

I want to conclude by saying I appreciate the leadership of the gentleman from Georgia [Mr. Kingston], and the gentleman from Arizona [Mr. Hayworth] for helping us lead the charge here for doing the three-part goal; that is, first, tax…

The fact is, when it comes to the balanced budget, people like the gentleman from Wisconsin [Mr. Neumann], who came here to Congress has done a great job in championing reducing the deficit and balancing the budget. By balancing the…

The one I wanted to start off there was to talk about eliminating the marriage penalty. Right now, two people are discouraged from getting married because they actually will pay more in taxes if they do get married.

I like that idea of Carefree, Arizona. They probably do not pay taxes in Carefree.

I think the gentleman hit some good points. The fact is that those two individuals, the gentleman from Texas [Mr. Armey], and the gentleman from Louisiana [Mr. Tauzin] are leading the fight for a flat tax and the sales tax, respectively…

Another interesting story, if the gentleman will continue to yield, I had a CPA from Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, call up the IRS helpful hotline, and he asked the question on behalf of his client. And they said, this is only for…

I believe that both the bills of the gentleman from Oklahoma [Mr. Largent] and the gentleman from New York [Mr. Paxon] are on target. What they are going to do for the first time... we are going to have a new code. Just like it took…

What we are able to do under this new inheritance tax law is $1.3 million, I think that is the right figure, will be the exemption from the inheritance tax. So instead of having to sell the family farm to pay the estate taxes of the…

One of the related bills that I have, and I hope that would also see legislative action, and that would be what I call the sunset review of Federal agencies. It is something we did in Pennsylvania where we evaluated all of the State…

So I will continue working with the gentleman in Congress to make sure we expand educational opportunity so each person can be all they can be educationally, vocationally, and within the society.

When you talk about getting the budget in balance, two major facts: First, we have lower interest rates for cars, college, and for the home; and we also increase, because companies are doing better, more job opportunities. So we are…

People will say to us, well, this sounds good, but what happens in times of emergency, and what happens in a time of war?

Well, Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman and would just tell him that this is a takeoff of legislation I started about 8 months ago on the Lincoln bedroom. But I think the gentleman's legislation is a little more comprehensive, and I…

Perhaps we should make sure the Attorney General is aware these are the laws so that she can make that a priority while she moves forward in making sure the Justice Department is effective and efficient.

I rise tonight to speak on a very important topic, and that is to eliminate the IRS as we know it...the culture of how the investigations are conducted.

With all due respect, reclaiming my time, the fact is the momentary seconds in this Chamber to allow the curative deletion would allow the Members to vote on the motion, and then your persuasive, thoughtful arguments could win the day on…

The fact is this is not free speech, the United States is paying for it, and the Palestinian Broadcast Corporation is calling for the annihilation of the United States. I do not think we should fund agencies that call for the destruction…

I would submit that considering we are on the Justice-Commerce appropriation, the idea of having free speech move forward in this Chamber and not have a technicality rule over substance, I would appreciate it if both sides of the aisle…

The fact is, I want to make sure I get to him all of the cases where Legal Services is now going after the grantees who are not living up to the 17 restrictions, and the new one that the gentleman from Indiana and myself and the gentleman…
