July 20, 1997, marks the 23d anniversary of the illegal invasion and occupation of the Republic of Cyprus by Turkey. The legacy of this invasion and subsequent division of Cyprus continues to this day, making Cyprus the only country in the…

my comments today are aimed at our newer Members. I am unusual in this debate, because I have opposed MFN in the past. In fact I voted against NAFTA because I was not happy with the side agreements. In fact, I am concerned about China's…

I simply want to rise to commend the full committee chairman and the ranking member for this en bloc amendment. There are a number of very significant and important items that are covered. I would like to comment on a number of them, but…

President Clinton has assured the American people on at least 130 separate occasions that Russian nuclear missiles no longer threaten the United States. On dozens of those occasions--including his October 6, 1996 debate with Senator Bob…

I want to follow up on his point about the perception of the American people that somehow we have dramatically increased defense spending over the past several years. Unfortunately, I think part of that perception has been created by the…

Right. So all of these factors have caused us to be put into an environment where we cannot meet the needs of our military. That has resulted in a decline of morale. That has resulted in problems in terms of funding. I have been with base…

That is right, the Model T. We said as a Nation, never again will this happen to our troops. That is why the Congress gave the administration carte blanche. We said we would give them the money they needed, we would give them the…

All underground. There have been articles in the London Times and the New York Times and there have been over 30 articles in the Russian media about this project. When I was in Russia, my 10th visit to that country, 3 weeks ago, I met with…

There is a place down in Philly called Broad Street, Where opponents were once turned into minced meat, These bullies, they skated and were generally hated By all of those whom they routinely deflated; The Spectrum was home to these…

I rise to acknowledge that we have just concluded one of, if not the largest ever, conferences on the oceans here in Washington. This conference involved 3 days of intensive dialogue between 200 delegates from over 30 nations including…

I as a Republican opposed NAFTA, voted against NAFTA, and even more than that, appealed the ruling of the Chair on the bailout of Mexico... I think the loss of jobs in this country because of the North American Free Trade Agreement is very…

I rise today to discuss a situation that is an ongoing problem in this country, and that is our ability to respond to disasters and life-threatening situations. At this very moment we are witnessing nationally the response to major…

On April 24, we commemorate the 82d anniversary of the Armenian genocide, a tragic passage in our world history which observed the systematic murder and relocation of 1.5 million Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire. This tragedy, the…

once again we are on the floor of the House to discuss the partial birth abortion. Because of the political debate surrounding this important issue, advocates have been able to take a truly horrific procedure and whittle it down to a…

in commemoration of March 25, 1997, the 176th anniversary of Greek independence from oppressive Ottoman rule, I would like to acknowledge and honor the tremendous contributions that the Greek people have made to the world. The invaluable…

I got involved in the 1970's in public life probably for the same reason the President did, to serve my constituents. I was outraged at what Richard Nixon did. He was in my party. I was dismayed at my party because of what he had done, in…

What bothers me the most is that the President's wife at that time was leading the effort to uncover the President and what he had done. And now we have a situation where the President has gone far beyond, far, far beyond the coverup of a…

My point is, this is something I did not want to have to do on the last day of the session, which should not be in this mode, but, Mr. Speaker, this is it. It is the last chance for us to speak out.

I understand that comment, and I am not engaging in personalities, I am engaging in factual information in regard to comments made by the leader of this country in a national public forum where he basically allowed the impression to be…

And what the gentleman did not mention was, that verdict that came down within 2 hours was a complete and total acquittal, unlike Susan McDougal, who went on television after a jury of her peers convicted her, I believe, of four counts and…

I rise this evening, or this afternoon, to review a hearing that was held this morning in the House Committee on National Security. I think that this should be of concern to every Member of this body. The hearing this morning, which lasted…

I thank my colleague. First of all, we did not mention the President today. We mentioned a hearing with the Secretary of Defense, and the fact that we do want to find out, as the Secretary has said, who was responsible. What we are saying…

the blame game with this administration continues. It is absolutely amazing. They take the credit for anything they can take the credit for, but when it comes to taking the blame for poor decisions or for problems or failures, they run the…

I am outraged at what is currently happening here--comments being made. First of all, there is no Member of this body who does not fully support our troops. Let us make that statement known up front. In fact we on this side have restored…

And with Sam Johnson from this body, another POW. And you are to be commended for that because you have righted a terrible wrong in letting those families know that we are going to continue to persevere to force a full accounting and to…
