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…

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…

My concern with the national sales tax is twofold. One, for those living on fixed income, many of them seniors, you are going to tax them the same as they tax you or I, and they are less able to pay if we have a national sales tax of a…

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

I think the gentleman from Georgia [Mr. Kingston] is right on target. There are three parts to this national debate and national issue that I think affect Pennsylvanians as well as they do Georgians and everyone else in the other 48…

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…

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…

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…

I have to agree with the gentleman from Tennessee when it comes to saluting the leadership of the gentleman from Wisconsin, really being a trailblazer when it comes to the deficit question, and also his work on the budget committee…

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…

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…

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.

I think, you know, you deserve a great deal of credit for being a visionary on this. You know, while some people look at one bill at a time, you are looking at it from a 4- or 5-year projection. As you are looking for your children and…

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

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.

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.

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…

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 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…

If they had come back and they had shown us that they had followed the restrictions, including the new one that my colleague, the gentleman from Indiana [Mr. Burton], will offer later, then we could consider increasing the funds in future…

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…

The fact of the matter is where the Legal Service Corp. was aware of the violations it has gone after those grantees and withdrawn the funding. In the case of Brooklyn Legal Services, I understand they are not a Legal Service Corp grantee.

reclaiming my time, I wanted to make it clear on the Brooklyn case, which obviously is an egregious situation, they are not a Legal Services grantee. It is a problem we would like to address, but it is not LSC's problem. They did not cause…

dear colleagues, I come to the House floor tonight because we have legislation which is coming up next week which is very important, the ISTEA legislation. The shorthand for that is the transportation bill. What is very important about the…
