In 1960 my uncle, President Kennedy, in one of his remarks in the inaugural address said, ultimately, our truest test here on Earth, we need to make sure we do God's will, because God's work is ultimately our own. I find it so interesting…

I know the gentleman will. I thank him for all of his work in this area, and I thank him for his 6 years of service as chairman on the committee.

I demand a recorded vote to demonstrate this House's support for mental health services in this country. The Acting CHAIRMAN. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Rhode…

Just to answer the lady about walking the walk and talking the talk, this administration and this Congress just cut child labor enforcement around the world by 87 percent in our dollars that we contribute to the international labor…

On the evening of July 12, I missed one rollcall vote. It was my intention to vote ``no'' on rollcall 366 for H. Res. 351, Rule providing for consideration of H.R. 739, H.R. 740, H.R. 741, and H.R. 742. ____________________

In politics there are show horses and there are work horses. This process, instead of seeking a solution, only sought headlines. We had an opportunity to make real progress and address the concerns of these tribes. Instead of addressing…

Once again I would just say, as my good friend has just said, the reason that doctors are not trained in identifying mental illness is that we still are living in a country where mental illness is not regarded as part of the body. In other…

Obviously the gentleman understood what I was saying. There are hardly any. Ask any of your friends, and they will say there is a fraction of a percent in this country.

Right now we have no child psychiatrists in this country because there is no reimbursement because we have a discriminatory health care system that does not acknowledge mental illness as a health matter at all. So how we expect a very…

I believe the war is not free and there must be shared sacrifice, and for us to have shared sacrifice we do not cut the top marginal rate on the wealthiest of Americans and put the bill on the future generations to pay for this bill.

I think the point we are trying to make is we do not want those soldiers used for your agenda. We do not want your agenda to be piggybacked and attached to your special interest.

Mr. Chairman, this is part of a strategy to improve test scores and academic achievement. It has been proven to work. I know the chairman and ranking member of the Committee share my commitment to ensuring that children enter school with…

I cannot think of anybody, and I know my father feels the same way, that would better have his name on really now a landmark in Boston like the Federal courthouse than Joe Moakley. I think what a tribute it will be to have that beautiful…

Most Americans know that the cost of pharmaceutical drugs is at a record high. Prescription drug costs rose 85 percent between 1993 and 1998, and prescription drugs represent the highest out-of-pocket expense for three out of four senior…

My point was that we recognize there is an enormous crime problem on Native American reservations. It is not a matter of discriminating for or against our first Americans.

I ask my colleagues to try to reverse this horrible trend in funding for Native American law enforcement.

We won the war. Now we must win the peace. We led NATO into that war in order for us to end the atrocities over in Kosovo and now we must be part of NATO to ensure that peace is there and that it will stick. Not only do the Republican…

My argument is with the delay. With their delay, they are effectively delaying the numbers being reported, which in essence means we cannot get an accurate count.

The parliamentary inquiry for the Clerk is for the delegates who represent American citizens. Where does that vote come today? Will they not be allowed to vote for Speaker of this House? The Member from Puerto Rico represents 4 million…

Today I will cast the most important vote of my whole time here in the United States Congress. And if we are not going to listen to each other, then I would like us to listen to the eminent scholar, Lawrence Tribe, on what we are doing…

In conclusion, once we know what impeachable offense is, then we need to ask another question. Is it the kind of offense in which the President's remaining in office is far worse for this country than what will happen to this country if we…

But the point of my remarks holds true, because what I am talking about here is the voice of democracy, whether that is TV or radio. The issue here is making sure the message gets across to the people of Cuba, and that is what is so…

Let us just make it clear here, the idea is, the Attorney General still has discretion to reject these countries based upon any concerns that she may have with respect to these issues that, I might say, are ancillary. You are talking…
