Pete Sessions

I say with regard to what has just taken place, these are complex areas, and we need to be careful about protecting our free speech rights. Nobody denies that. But you have to be careful, too. I was thinking that if a spy comes into our…

Here is Professor Harry Holzer at the same committee hearing, three out of five witnesses, most of them pro-immigration witnesses. He is an associate dean and professor of public policy at Georgetown. He says: Now, absent the immigrants…

I would, briefly. I think it sort of confirms what you are saying. We had a subcommittee hearing on this, and the second professor, Dr. Barry Chiswick, the head and research professor at the Department of Economics at the University of…

I am for it. I know Senator Dorgan's time is limited. I would ask for maybe 3 minutes.

Once again continuing, the majority side, to present a fair and balanced rule with the substance of the bill, I yield 4 minutes to our next speaker, the gentlemen from Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania (Mr. Dent).

Once again articulating this balanced rule and fair and wonderful legislation, we continue to talk about what the legislation stands for without attempting to scare people but rather to give the substance of what the bill is about. Mr…

I spoke about this fair and balanced rule. We have also spoken about how great the legislation is. Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased at this time to yield 3\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman who is the chairman of the Committee on Homeland…

Satchel Paige was denied the right to fully participate in American baseball until the very end of his career. That was a tragedy. It was really a tragedy. It is something our Nation cannot take pride in and should feel great sadness over…

If I may ask a question of the Senator. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Ms. Murkowski). The Senator from Alabama.

I thank Senator Talent for his leadership on this important issue. As a person who lives in Mobile, AL, I am proud of Satchel Paige. I assume he will be in the museum.

In effect, it would not continue as an addition on top of the expanded immigration provisions in the committee mark?

I ask the Senator, isn't that in fact what happened in 1986? We passed the amnesty bill, and the American people were told this would be a one-time thing, it would solve this problem, and we are going to have enforcement on the border…

I believe Senator Kyl has the floor. I was asking a question. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Allen). The Senator from Arizona, Senator Kyl, has the floor and has yielded for a question.

That is the committee you serve on, Judiciary, the authorizing committee, and that I serve on.

That is good. I wanted to follow up because the Senator mentioned methamphetamine. I had an opportunity today to meet with the executive director of the Alabama District Attorneys Association. Through Alabama laws and the Federal law we…

One more question because I think this is very important for all of us here who strive to be responsible to the citizens we serve, and that is, we have had some amendments, some of which were accepted that I offered, that would increase…

Today, by an overwhelming vote, we passed the lobbying bill. We now have turned to another important piece of legislation, the border control bill. We will be working on this bill for the remainder of the week and into next week. Under an…

I express my strongest disapproval of the propriety of this resolution. ____________________

The opportunity to hear from the vice chairman of the Committee on Government Reform about this important issue today, about ONDCP, is important. Today we have an opportunity to hear from the youngest member of the Republican leadership…

The Senator from New Mexico should be congratulated for his leadership on this issue. He has understood it from the beginning. He warned us about the dangers of surging natural gas prices for years and years. As a matter of fact, I can…

Thank you, I say to Senator Specter. You put your heart and soul into this effort. Nobody should think the effort you have gone forward with, and that Senator Hatch and Senator Leahy and Judge Becker and others have gone forward with, is…

I conclude with these words: He is not doctrinaire, but rather open to differing views and will often change his mind in light of the views of a colleague. This is the man who has been nominated and who is entitled to confirmation by the…

I will not object. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered. The Senator from New York is recognized.

I thought the leaders agreed not to ask for additional time. Otherwise, I would not have an objection. I don't know what Senators Reid and Frist said. They have the time set for an 11 o'clock vote. So I am inclined to object unless---- The…

I was just curious about what the unanimous consent agreement was that was just entered. I was not on the floor at that time and would be interested in having an opportunity to speak later. Was there unanimous consent on procedure?
