Today it begins: the process of turning the rhetoric of hope into the reality of change. Today we will enfranchise 4 million children with health insurance, many of whose working-poor parents have had to watch their children suffering in…

It seems if she is that good, we ought to make an attempt at hiring her and not contracting out, if she is that good. Make her an offer she can't refuse, if she is that good.

The gentleman's wit is deeply appreciated by the Member from Virginia. I don't think we have a current problem with being overtaken by wild horses in Northern Virginia; but I appreciate your support as well for this humane approach in…

I wish to thank you again, Mr. Chairman, for your help in clarifying these points and for your willingness to address this in conference to ensure more humane and effective management of our treasured wild horse herds, while maintaining…

The so-called global war on terrorism cannot be won by military might alone. It is a war of ideas and philosophies. Terrorism is the tactic used by people who seem to hate what the U.S. stands for more than they love life itself. But it is…

Reclaiming my time. My only point is that this is so much about the message we send, and I think the message that we want permanent bases is the wrong message.

Did he suggest that he thinks that the Iraqis have read this amendment? I'm not entirely sure you would agree that all of our colleagues have read this amendment. But do you really think the Iraqis have read this amendment?

First of all, it is six tribes. The Governor of Virginia recognizes them, and the Commonwealth of Virginia has recognized them since it did away with the Racial Integrity Act. Senator Allen when he was Governor recognized them because they…

The fact is that they have tried for 8 years to get recognition. But when you say that they are bypassing the process, the reason the process doesn't work is, in this case, the Commonwealth of Virginia made it legal to destroy all of the…

I didn't use the term ``outrage,'' but I do I think it is unfair. If I were a Native American member of any of these six tribes, I would feel badly that I wasn't treated the way other Native American tribes have been treated. It is a…

In this case, we are recognizing six. There was one tribe in the 1990s, the Narragansett Tribe, a similar prohibition against gambling was instituted. They don't gamble. This is about recognition.

And I am reserving because I have so little time left, as the gentleman knows, so I am trying to be strategic with my time.

In the first place it is not some other panel. It is the U.S. and Oman, and we have the right to determine what is in our security, but having said that, I reserve the balance of my time.

It is no longer legal to use such a tactic. It is not used. That is the kind of progress we are wanting to achieve, and I thank Mr. Pascrell's help in achieving that. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from New York (Mr…

Yes, I am, because the fact that a government takes your passport, any number of governments do that. The German Government used to do it. I don't know if they do it now. That doesn't mean that is forced labor. They hold your passport, but…

I will shortly. I am about out of time. If you can refute that, I will yield 15 seconds to the gentleman.

It's been argued that, if we redeploy, that it might hurt our credibility around the world. As has been said, our approval ratings around the world are the lowest they've ever been.

As the Department proceeds with the site selection for the mirror data services center, we feel it is important that all appropriate GSA site selection procedures be followed and that an RFP be issued clearly stating objective criteria for…

I thank my good friend. I rise in support of this amendment. As I suggested in addressing the last amendment, we need to be driven by people with expertise, not by fear and prejudice. What Mr. Sabo is suggesting is that we get the facts on…

I thank the very astute gentleman from Washington State. And now we have our very diligent, conscientious member of the Budget Committee from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Ms. Schwartz.

Unbelievable charts. So for all of those Presidents since Herbert Hoover who had a net loss of job creation because of the Great Depression, Presidents Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan and the…

I thank the gentleman for illuminating those misplaced priorities, and I thank him very much for his extraordinarily illuminating set of charts and numbers. Mr. Scott, do you have one further thing you wanted to share with the American…

I support this amendment not just for the compelling reasons of the gentleman from California (Mr. George Miller), but because if it is allowed to stand as a precedent, it will cost the American taxpayer tens of billions of dollars in…

I cannot understand why, without passing the Maloney amendment, we punish millions of women throughout the Third World. Our annual $34 million contribution could prevent 2 million unintended pregnancies; 800,000 induced abortions; 4,700…
