let me say that I think the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Sessions) has spotted a loophole in our current law and the vulnerability for aircraft that are not passenger aircraft in nature. An aircraft that is brought down by a laser will kill…
I ask unanimous consent claim the time in opposition, even though I am not opposed to the amendment. The Acting CHAIRMAN. Without objection, the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Sensenbrenner) is recognized for 10 minutes. There was no…
I support this amendment. I do not think that there should be a delayed notification warrant excuse for unduly delaying a trial, but we have heard an awful lot about delayed notification warrants here. Let me again repeat the fact that…
reclaiming my time, yes, that is an accurate reading of the bill. I further yield to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Schwarz).
further reclaiming my time, again, that is an accurate reading of the bill. I further yield to the gentleman from Michigan.
the points of order that the gentleman from Wisconsin has been raising have been pursuant to House rules, and we should not be waiving the rules relative to the germaneness of motions to recommit. Should the gentleman from Mississippi…
this motion is also not germane under House rule XVI, clause 7, because it is one individual proposition attempting to amend another individual proposition. The base constitutional amendment relates to flag desecration. The amendment…
the motion to recommit is not germane to the original text of the House Joint Resolution 10. House Joint Resolution 10 proposes an amendment to prohibit the physical desecration of the flag of the United States. The material proposed to be…
the material that is on page 20 relates to a clarification of the ban on possession of hand guns by juveniles. It appears to me that the clarification does not clarify the statute. The best thing to do is to completely remove the…
I am pleased to yield one of those minutes to my friend, the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Waters).
I am sure the President of Honduras would have loved to have kept the person who killed the 26 people in his country there and tried him and punished him there; but the fact of the matter is, the borders are leaky. Some of us have been…
another good amendment has been offered, and I would urge the Committee to adopt that, and I thank the gentleman for offering it.
I am pleased to support the gentleman's amendment. It provides an authorization for a program that already has been funded by the Committee on Appropriations. It is a good amendment. It helps the bill out. I urge Members to vote for it.
I offer an amendment made in order under the rule. The Acting CHAIRMAN. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Amendment No. 1 offered by Mr. Sensenbrenner: Page 4, lines 13 through 14, strike…
I yield myself 15 seconds. Madam Chairman, I am sure that a social worker would have been able to convince the person who murdered the 18-month-old not to do it. If my colleagues believe that, vote ``no.'' If not, vote ``yes.'' Madam…
I yield 4 minutes to the principal author of this bill, the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Forbes).
I would refer the gentleman to the statement made by the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Chabot) that is on the bottom of page 84 which talks about the potential of sexual predators.
I would like to take issue with the characterizations that the distinguished gentlewoman from New York has made about the committee report and about my actions in two respects. First of all, every committee report that is filed in the…
I am the only speaker on this amendment, and I will reserve my time so I can close.
I yield myself the time given to me in opposition to the amendment. Mr. Chairman, first, both sections of the bill do provide an exception for incest, and all of the arguments that have been made to the contrary are simply not correct…
what the two proponents of the motion to recommit are arguing is something that simply is not going to happen. If the father of a young girl impregnates her as a result of an incestuous act, filing a lawsuit will expose that crime and the…
H.R. 1038, the Multidistrict Litigation Restoration Act of 2005, reverses the effect of a 1998 Supreme Court case commonly referred to as ``Lexecon,'' which has hampered the Federal court system from adjudicating complex, multidistrict…
pursuant to House Resolution 211, I call up the Senate bill (S. 256) to amend title 11 of the United States Code, and for other purposes, and ask for its immediate consideration in the House. The Clerk read the title of the Senate bill…
I yield myself a minute and a half. Mr. Speaker, once again the opponents of this legislation are not correct. My friend, the gentleman from Massachusetts, says that someone who is injured in Iraq and comes home is not going to be…
I yield by myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of S. 256, the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005. This legislation consists of a comprehensive package of reform measures pertaining…
