I want to rise very briefly in opposition. I share the same concern that we all share about these unexploded ordnance sites. The safety of our citizens is important, and I think our subcommittee has recognized that by stating very clearly…
I think it is going down, and that is the good news, because the economy is growing.
I know this year there will be a deficit in terms of our overall budget and spending this year.
And you have heard of the ``bridge to nowhere''? That was about $300 million, and that kind of made its way through the process on to the President's desk. And I think if the President had had a line item veto, he might have said, You know…
We raised the debt ceiling twice. And the economy is roaring, and we lowered taxes, and people are back at work, and the deficit is going down, down, down. And that is good news.
in the days after 9/11, the United States took the last action that our enemies thought we would take, we took the fight to them. They believed that our partisan bickering would provide them with the protection they needed to continue to…
this is really just a question of whether you solve a problem the right way or you solve it the wrong way. Now, we ought to adopt this amendment, we ought to leave the moratorium in place while the Resources Committee, which has been…
this morning the President announced some very good economic news: Our economy continues to grow and our deficit continues to shrink. That is good news. Why is that happening? Number one, we gave tax relief to the American people so they…
I rise to lend my voice to the cause of remembrance. Today is Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. This is a day aside on the Jewish calendar to remember the murdered Six Million of the Holocaust and to remind us all what can happen…
let me just say, over the last 4 years our economy has faced some pretty serious challenges; but, today, the consensus of both the private and public forecasters is that our economy is in a sustained expansion, with solid growth of real…
reclaiming my time, it is clear from what we have heard tonight the great esteem in which Tillie Fowler was held in this House. We have heard about her service in the community, we have heard about her service in local politics, and we…
Mr. Speaker, I rise to remember a warrior, Tillie Kidd Fowler, wife, mother, friend and patriot, died 6 days ago and left behind her a legacy of service all will admire but few will match. She was as good a friend as she was a politician…
last Wednesday we announced on the floor of this House that our former colleague, Tillie Fowler, had passed away that day. She suffered a stroke on Monday and went to the hospital and never recovered from that. It was a sad day for all of…
Tillie was a remarkable woman. She was a rare combination of passionate drive and dedication coupled with just a warm and caring feeling for all the people around her, and she will be missed by not only her family, but her friends in this…
It is fitting that this new Federal courthouse, which stands 15 stories tall in my hometown of Jacksonville, Florida, and casts such a shadow over our city, it is fitting that it is going to be named after Judge Bryan Simpson who, while he…
on this third year since the tragic terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, I think it is appropriate for Americans to reflect on what we have learned since that fateful day, what we have done to make our homeland safer, and what we as a…
This is money, Mr. Speaker, that will go to help people who are hurting right now, and, believe me, there are a lot of people in Florida who are hurting. Even in my area in northeast Florida where we did not suffer any direct brunt of the…
there are a lot of good reasons to support this legislation, but let me just touch on one, the Millennium Challenge Account. It is a new way to deal with foreign aid and foreign assistance. The old way has run its course. We would…
this week our Nation lost an individual who had an enormous impact on our country and the world. Ronald Wilson Reagan, our Nation's 40th President, had a great and positive impact on our economy, our security, and our national pride. I…
the way the other side shapes this debate, you'd think keeping money in Washington is going to boost the economy, create jobs, and give business owners the incentive to hire more workers. Nothing could be further from reality. But that's…
You can tell a lot about a family by looking at their checkbook. The same is true of our nation. This budget reflects our priorities by investing in Defense, Homeland Security, the economy, and programs supporting our most vulnerable…
sports have been traditional vehicles for teaching important life lessons, but today, sport, at its highest levels, is played in an atmosphere where we have a preponderance of athletes who deny they have responsibility to be role models…
