The reason why the amendment is necessary is because the Congressional Budget Office determined that any new Federal mandates in the area of entitlement programs are not subject to the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act's point of order…

Mr. Chairman, in addition to having an opportunity to pass an amendment that I thought should have been passed back in January of 1995, that I had offered then, I think probably it helps in a Republican Congress to have a Republican…

I thank my two friends and colleagues for expanding the battlefield upon which this amendment might be considered, but again let me just say that without this amendment the bill would have created a situation where some banks can continue…

This amendment would sunset, that is, repeal after 5 years the requirement that any bank that is not currently selling insurance products would not have to purchase an insurance agency that has been regulated within their State for at…

This could be a very good bill, but only if the Watt/Rothman amendment does pass. People who have had their land taken clearly should have it resolved in one court. But that court is not the Court of Federal Claims, it is the U.S. District…

I have no problems with this bill. I have everything positive to say about it. It is a terrific bill. It is exactly what we need to do. One of the even more compelling parts of it is the fact that our ranking Democrat and our chairman are…

I daresay it would probably be unanimous. What a fitting tribute for President Reagan to have a unanimous vote of this body. It would be fully accepted by all the people and the businesses that are located in Northern Virginia. This is a…

Mr. Chairman, I would ask, as I read the amendment, this would add $1 million to the U.S. Trade Representative's office to continue the good work they are doing in terms of representing us and furthering the globalization of our economy…

This is the bill that says that it only applies if the life of the woman would be in danger. This is the bill I was given, and it does not apply to rape.

First of all, as the gentleman from Massachusetts suggested, there are some issues that need to be cleared up. My two friends and colleagues on my side have entered a good deal of rhetorical information into this debate. Some of it was not…

No seniors would be affected, no people who are disabled, no one who would have difficulty in achieving an income. There are a lot of people in assisted housing that simply do not have the ability to support themselves because of…

I would say to my respected colleague, the chairman of the Committee on Armed Services, that he deludes himself if he thinks that this Nation can maintain a pacifist stance in light of the unlawful aggression that we see in Bosnia. You…

Very few people realize that anybody can write down the license plate number of your spouse and daughter and find out where they live and their name and their Social Security number in many States; it should not be allowed to continue. The…
