I will ride in on that and yes, process safety and especially in the development of new facilities is the best time to implement safer technologies or new technologies that you have in place.

We believe changes to CFATS that require implementation or enhance scrutiny of any single-risk reduction option such as the mandatory consideration or implementation of inherently safer technology are unnecessary and would be overly…

We are not in support of mandating any single risk-reduction tool.

The chemical industry is critical to our National economy as well as the quality of life of our people.

I don't think we should mandate any particular tool, especially IST.

I think we are not at the point where we can mandate that particular topic or that particular tool or any other particular tool.

We definitely should not start over. I mean, we have made a lot of progress.

When you think about the repeal of the national health care bill, is that not a savings of $2.7 trillion, at least the elimination of a $2.7 trillion hole or an abyss on an entitlement program? Does it not reduce the debt by $700 billion…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Question for you: Is it the first time since 1974 that the House has operated without a budget?

Finally, the seventh point, we've heard lots of rhetoric about what we're doing to senior citizens and women. What we are facing is an opportunity to stop robbing future generations, to stop the unnecessary impact, the intergenerational…

The performance standards are very clear, and a security program that started off with a gaping hole in the fence, the plan would not be approved, and the site would be sent back to square one to come up with a better plan.

Mr. Speaker, I would just point out that some of the cases, some of the situations that would be covered by this would be crossing State lines from Washington, D.C., to the Commonwealth of Virginia for the purposes of committing…

Much of what is in the bill is already covered by present law. Obviously, conspiracy, kidnapping, and murder is already covered. There are some provisions that are helpful; there are also some that I think are very loosely drawn. For…

Tom Downing was a good friend to everyone on the Peninsula. He represented part of what is now the First and Third Congressional Districts, and part, at one time, of the Second. He is highly respected, and I look forward to participating…

I wanted to point out that any program that can get funded under H.R. 7 can be funded today. There is no discrimination against religious organizations. Many religious organizations get money today.

I did not say that we wanted to keep children in the classroom. If children have committed a serious offense, maybe they do need to be taken out of the classroom. What this amendment will do, if it passes, it will put those children out on…

I think through my grandmother at 77 when she passed on April 29, 2001. She had both Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.

I ask for this time just to thank the Speaker for the distinguished manner in which he has presided today and on previous days. Much has been made about the acrimony of the House of Representatives, and I can say that if more Members…

Under my reservation, I would want to express my appreciation as I did the last time we were here with what we thought was the last piece of legislation that we would be considering. The gentleman and I have worked together on the…

Earlier today in the Arabian Peninsula the U.S.S. Cole was rammed by a small boat in an apparent suicide terrorist attack. Our prayers go out to the families of the sailors, especially the families of those sailors who were killed…

To show that he was not there, he was not within 100 miles, and the fact that he has AIDS becomes a matter of public information.

I ask the gentleman, how do they keep it private if the victim gets information, the defendant gets information, the attorneys for the victim, the attorneys for the defendant, the prosecuting attorneys, the judge, and the information can…

Does the gentleman acknowledge that somebody could be factually innocent and could prove it by conclusive evidence, but does the gentleman disagree or will he acknowledge that that would become public?

Mr. Speaker, the information is also given to the judge presiding at the trial, and it provides that if the results are positive, such facts may, as relevant, be considered in the judicial proceedings conducted with respect to the alleged…

When I was in the State Senate of Virginia, we dealt with the issue and gave the defendant an opportunity to be heard so that we are not imposing this test on innocent individuals. The gentleman mentioned that there is confidentiality…
