I think the failure of this institution is that we are not prepared to do what is necessary for them.

I think you have to have all of the major emitters involved.

China is a dictatorial country that is persecuting its people.

Well, that would be disastrous. We lose our triple A bond rating, according to Moody's, in year 2012.

I think, though, frankly, there may be some exceptions, but my sense is most Congressmen do not know what to do either.

It is my recollection it was a $150 million increase in aeronautics, which in effect doubles the research budget of the aeronautics program of NASA.

If those numbers are accurate, and I am going to ask my staff to check it out and we will put them in the record, that is very bad for our country.

I think as a nation we are just disregarding some of the fundamentals.

This is the most political, partisan institution. I have served for 28 years that I have ever been in.

I wanted to publicly identify myself and appreciate the gentleman's courage and his willingness to be the conscience of this Congress on this issue. There are people being slaughtered and, at a minimum, we ought to lift the arms embargo. I…

I wish to speak today to honor the Armenians who suffered and died during the genocide of 1915 to 1923. April 24 is a day that will be forever remembered by all Armenians. For it was on this day in 1915 that the Ottoman rulers, fearing…

Mr. speaker, we are ready to face the question of granting or not granting MFN to China. Let me just express disappointment for the business community in Beijing--that is, the American business community--the way they treated Secretary…

I rise in support of the Stenholm balanced budget amendment. Many members have predicted doomsday scenarios if the Federal budget were actually balanced. These are mere scare tactics. We have also heard about the problems this Nation faces…
