The Public Record
why do many of us object to the stringent control of our forces under the U.N.? First of all, I take a look at Bosnia. We have men and women committed to war, and committed and executed that war, and the President of the United States, the…
the gentleman is mistaken. I was in charge with fleet core group of all the troops in Korea. There is a four-star Air Force General that is in charge with a brick over all forces, and any Navy force that goes into that gulf is in charge…
The gentlewoman says no one wants to do this. In our committee, she is well aware, it was 43 to 13. It was a bipartisan bill that came out of the committee. Those that are upset are those that have tried to defund defense for the great…
I would ask the gentleman, everyone has said that the Soviet Union is gone. Is the gentleman aware of how many Typhoon-class nuclear submarines Russia built last year and what they plan on doing with those nuclear tubes? They built five…
I also would like to speak to the issue of what the minority talked about as far as the majority not supporting national defense. I can remember being on this floor, Mr. Speaker, when the majority, or the now-minority, turned their backs…
I want to tell you, those 13, their politics would go good only in a small island off Florida. I would also like to remind the Members, Mr. Speaker, that the contract talks about not having U.S. troops under U.N. control. Very, very…
I myself am not sure it is that bad of an amendment. Let me tell you what some of my heartburn might be, if I understand it right. In education or law enforcement, one of the problems we have is too much paperwork. I know when I was in the…
the San Diego Chargers were picked in their division, but then the season started; our Bolts pursued a vision. Often they would fall behind. They bested the toughest teams in the AFC. In the playoffs they beat Pittsburgh and Miami. Then on…
my amendment requires the Attorney General and the Commissioner of the INS to develop and implement a program for interior repatriation. This amendment is in line with recommendations of the Jordan Commission which concluded, In the case…
Since the higher costs come along with Davis-Bacon, under construction under Davis-Bacon, I think it ought to seriously be looked into.
one of the ways in which we can do, I think, both and not even have to build prisons in the future: In the State of California we have got 16,000 Federal felons that are illegal immigrants. There are 84,000 nationwide. That is a lot of…
Say Elton Harris, who admitted to his guilt after 14 years and said that he admitted he was guilty, and all of a sudden it proved that he was not guilty. You are telling me there is no way that if we had DNA evidence or if someone admitted…
If you can demonstrate there is newly discovered evidence which you couldn't have easily and reasonably discovered the first time around, and if it's clear and convincing evidence that if it goes before a court would result in innocence…
Mr. Chairman, I just heard my good friend, the gentleman from New York [Mr. Schumer] talk about that they do not make it up. In California, we had a judge named Rose Bird who was opposed to the death penalty and found every single thing…
I would like to say one thing: I see my distinguished colleague, the gentleman from New York [Mr. Owens], here, and even though in many of the economic issues we disagree, I want to point out something, that on the floor, when the…
What we are trying to do is the Presidents, the early Presidents, had the right of a two-thirds majority to control that, that a bill came to them as a single bill. Now we have got hundreds of bills wrapped up into one. Jefferson and…
However, I would like to reiterate this is a Democratic amendment, the amendment of the gentleman from South Carolina [Mr. Spratt], an amendment in the committee. The only thing that I would say, we are being chastised for coming up with a…
Reclaiming my time, they begged us to take them, too, right after the S&L, and no one would take them.
I cannot tell the Members the disdain I have for some of my colleagues for not supporting the San Diego Chargers. I rise today to pay tribute to the new champions of the American Football Conference, the San Diego Chargers. It is no secret…
Mr. Chairman, I have thousands, tens of thousands of flight hours both in the military and civilian aircraft, and in the future I plan to get thousands of more flight hours. Mr. Chairman, the gentlewoman is correct that we have lost a lot…
Mr. Chairman, 2 weeks ago I was elected to represent the Committee on Economic and Educational Opportunities with the Republican Governors on welfare reform. The No. 1 issue among the Governors, Republicans and Democrats, was unfunded…
Politicians like Joe Cunningham
