I want to ask and urge my colleagues to vote against this rule so that military families across the country can receive improved housing that they so desperately need and so much deserve. At a time when our men and women in uniform and…

In closing I would like to remind our colleagues that Members on both sides of the aisle were exasperated many, many times because if we did not ask the right question or just the exact question, we were not provided the information that…

I am somewhat disappointed, Mr. Chairman, that even though the bill contains $10 billion for various ballistic missile defense programs, no amendment was made in order to allow for legitimate debate and a vote on important policy issues…

I am here to support and endorse this bill to congratulate the Air Force Academy. The academy, I think, symbolizes the best that this country has to offer through its national defense and its military. I also, if I could, would like to…

I have a long been a strong advocate for an affordable, comprehensive Medicare prescription drug benefit, but I am opposed to this bill. I am opposed because the bill before us tonight would harm, rather than help, more than 77,000…

I am proud to be here to rise in strong support of the National Defense Authorization Act. While I am concerned that this bill contains a few very dangerous provisions, especially related to civil service reform, I believe that this bill…

Mr. Speaker, I stand today before the House not only as a Member of Congress but as a former member of the United States Armed Forces, and also as a proud citizen of this great country of ours. As we all know too well, our country is…

I would ask him, since when is hunger a good thing? Since when is the fact that there are children going to bed hungry and going to school hungry a good thing for this country? It goes contrary to everything that we stand for. But today…

Mr. Speaker, I also want to tell my colleagues, I had intended to offer an amendment that would have added $5 million to the Food and Nutrition Service for a program that would target outreach to expand the feeding programs in the colonia…

I would ask my colleagues that are so intent on protecting the neighborhoods, does that mean that they are willing to deploy United States military resources to the neighborhoods in Washington, D.C. and Florida and Kansas and Illinois and…

Again, in summary, and again concluding as to the perfecting amendment that I have before this House, I hope that this body understands that there is a reasonable way to address the problems that we face against narcotics trafficking and…

I rise in opposition to conference report on H.R. 629 because, as I mentioned earlier, I do not believe that we should be considering a conference report that ignores the will of the House and the Senate. I do not believe we should be…

They do not. And therein lies the liability, not just for the people of Sierra Blanca, not just for those of us who live in west Texas, but literally for communities throughout this country that this waste material would be transported…

And the potential exists that this waste disposal site in Sierra Blanca, Texas, could conceivably become the only site where nuclear waste could be disposed of and could be stored. That is a very real concern for those of us that live in…

As a point of reference, that is one of the major concerns that we have. That once the site is in place, it will become a profit-generating venture that would accept waste material not only from Texas, Maine, and Vermont but literally from…

I just want to clarify that today, in the Immigration Naturalization Act that the government has already passed that is in effect, it provides that kind of authority. There is a section that provides the authority to the President to…

I can tell my colleagues as a ex-immigration officer, as an ex-border patrol chief, the gentleman from Michigan [Mr. Conyers] is absolutely correct. If we shut down the southern border, guess where they are going to smuggle from? Guess…
