The alcohol industry's veiled attempt to use health claims as a marketing scheme has gone on long enough.

My legislation will give the labeling authority to the Department of Health and Human Services and its subsidiary the Food and Drug Administration which have more experience in these matters.

The revenue generated by this tax will be used specifically for the prevention and treatment of alcohol related problems such as heart disease and birth defects.

on January 9, 1913, I was living in rural Edgefield, SC, and was a month into my 11th year. It was on that day, in the rural southern California agricultural town of Yorba Linda, that Richard Milhous Nixon was born. Little did anyone know…

I rise today to offer an amendment to S. 540 to clarify an ambiguity in the Bankruptcy Code which has led to confusion, conflicting judicial decisions, and unfair outcomes in many cases. This amendment relates to bankrupt debtors who own…
