What I am saying and what my colleagues are saying, let us have that debate. Let us have a real amendment, not a phony amendment, where we have the President's policies hidden behind the skirts and the uniforms of the men and women in this…

The Public Record
For all those naysayers, today the THAAD program had a very successful intercept. We hit a bullet with a bullet. Not only did we hit the target, we hit it right in the spot where that target would be eliminated so that the trajectory of…
Part A amendment No. 10 offered by Mr. Weldon of Pennsylvania: At the end of title XII (page 317, after line 17), insert the following new section: SEC. 1206. NATIONAL SECURITY ASSESSMENT OF EXPORT LICENSES. (a) Report to Congress.--The…
I am pleased to rise and state, as I have many times, the fact that defense in this body has been bipartisan. There are Democrat and Republican leaders who tirelessly fight for what is right for our troops. Our battle has not been within…
We came to a bipartisan conclusion that U.S. international export control regimes have actually facilitated China's efforts to obtain militarily useful technology. And, therefore, what this amendment does is, I think, go a long way toward…
In closing, the gentleman would make a fine fantasy writer for fantasy books. We are dealing in substance here. There have been serious security concerns brought before this Congress by nine of the most solid Members of this institution…
Mr. Chairman, I was not going to do this but I cannot let those comments go unanswered. Here is a chart that I prepared, starting in 1993 until 1999. This chart has been made available to every one of my colleagues; and for the past two…
Absolutely. And Democrats have been on the forefront of that in this body, as have Republicans. Our battle has not been within this Congress.
I rise tonight to continue to provide for our colleagues in the House and for the constituents that they represent across the country information relative to the Cox report and the way this report is being spun by this administration…
Mr. McCallum has been punished and has been placed on administrative leave and may lose his job. Guess who now sits on the corporate board of directors, being paid, overseeing the operation of that same facility? You guessed it, Madam…
I say to Bill Richardson, tell the truth. He has been traveling around America and this city saying that when he found out, this administration, that China stole the secrets to our nuclear weapons, the W-88 and the W-87, that he took…
I rise tonight to talk to our colleagues about what I think is one of the gravest issues to face this Nation, certainly in the 13 years that I have had the honor of serving in this body. I come before our colleagues, Mr. Speaker, as a…
I would just like to say, before we do that, that for those who say that parliamentarians should not be involved in meeting with other parliamentarians, and I think the gentleman did a good job earlier today when he gave a 1-minute on this…
And ours says, agreement on the composition of armed international forces which would administer Kosovo after the Serb withdrawal, to be determined by the U.N. five-member Security Council.
And ours says, recognizes the territorial integrity of Yugoslavia, including wide autonomy for Kosovo, a multi- ethnic population, and treatment of all Yugoslavia peoples in accordance with international norms.
And our document says, the composition of armed forces should be decided by a consensus agreement of the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council in consultation with Macedonia, Albania, Yugoslavia and the recognized leadership…
Mr. Speaker, it was actually a little bit over 4 weeks ago, the week of April 6, when Russian friends of mine who I have been involved with for the past 5 years in a formal Duma-Congress relationship called me at my home and asked if I…
We just did not use that fancy Rambouillet word, but the content of what we said is identical to what is in number six.
And we said, supports efforts to provide international assistance to rebuild destroyed refugee homes and other humanitarian assistance to victims in Kosovo.
earlier today we had a member of the Russian Duma who held a press conference in this building; and he said something that is very insightful. He said that for years and years and decades and decades the Soviet Communist party has spent…
I agree. The gentleman's suggestion was a valid one, that we go through the G-8 document and compare it side by side to what we did just so that the American people know that what we agreed on with the Russians has now, in fact, become the…
And our position on that same issue, and I will read it word for word, the stopping of NATO bombing, cessation of KLA activities, withdrawal of Serb forces from Kosovo, calls for termination of violence and atrocities. If that is not…
In fact, I would say to the gentleman that not only is that the case and that that has been our mission, I can provide for the record to any Member who would so choose, statements from former Secretary of Defense Perry, current Secretary…
In fact, the gentleman is absolutely correct. As I mentioned at the outset, this initiative was supported initially by both Speaker Gingrich and the minority leader, the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Gephardt), and has had the highest…
I would just say that we could have gone that route. We could have gone into Belgrade. We could have done that as other people have done and as people are doing right now. Jesse Jackson, I understand, is over there right now without the…
