Shelley Moore Capito

I want to see this investigation go forth quickly and reach a conclusion.

It is now my honor and pleasure to yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Ginny Brown-Waite).

Reclaiming my time, after the fact I cannot cite you one example, but I don't think the gentleman would deny that fraud occurred and has occurred under this.

The gentleman asked for examples? I have an example here of a study that was done by the Johns Hopkins University computer science students that found 1,500 dead people listed who had voted in past elections. Now, you want to talk about…

I would like to make a point of clarification. If this goes into effect, and somebody does arrive at the polling place without their photo ID, they would be given a provisional ballot and be permitted to vote with the caveat that they…

I think the perspective of a chief election officer of a State is one that can shed great wisdom and knowledge concerning this bill, so it is my honor to yield 4 minutes to the gentlewoman from Michigan (Mrs. Miller).

I would be for keeping the tax cuts in place, letting them grow for their maturation. I think a lot of them do not kick in for full force until 2010, because the trend that I am seeing is this 11.1 percent more collections, more people…

Okay. To draw a contrast here in our two positions, you would be for eliminating the tax cuts.

I guess my question to you would be, in looking at your chart, as just a point of clarification for me, the hand chart, the red is the interest payment. Is that correct?

Your solution that you are advocating would be to raise the taxes from where they are right now to pay and meet this obligation. Is that basically correct?

So I think that the effect of these policies has been for us to be able to have higher tax collections to be able to afford and to be able to cut the growth of the deficit. We were projected that the deficit was supposed to grow by…

Twelve miners alive.

Yes. This is the identical amendment that was considered last year in October, and it was also passed in the House Intelligence Reauthorization Act that we passed. So this amendment has been considered several times in this House.

Due to my attendance at a meeting with BRAC Commissioner Chairman Anthony Principi at the 130th Airlift Wing of the West Virginia Air National Guard in my district, I missed roll call votes 308 through 321 on June 24. Had I been present, I…

I think the standard for inappropriate on the airwaves has been established by the FCC, and they are the ones. This bill does not speak to that. This bill speaks to raising of the fines.

In terms of the death penalty, I think that is definitely at the discretion of the prosecutor, and there are two sets of offenses there. One is a 20-year and one is a 30-year minimum, and I think that is also at the discretion of the…

I think there is a lot of prosecutorial discretion in the bill, and I think that would probably be left up to the prosecutor.

I would like to say briefly that everyone's passion is personal. My personal passion is the mother-in-law I never had, who died from breast cancer at a very early age. My children never met their grandmother or their great grandmother or…

October is recognized as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month; and as the women of the caucus come today in this hour to talk about its importance, we also know the importance of funding; funding for education, funding for early…

Mr. Chairman, I thank all three gentlemen for their great comments in support of coal gasification and clean coal technologies. I am enthusiastic about this. I agree with the chairman when he says it is a win-win-win. I believe it is not…

I see the new energy plan much in the same way. For the past 20 years, America has coasted blindly into the future, naively trusting that our sufficient resources would be ready and available whenever we would need them. But we know the…

When you lose that many jobs, it not only guts the community in terms of the economics, but also the local involvement, the church, the Little League teams, school fund-raisers, all of these things start to fall apart when you lose a large…

Yes. Over the last several months we have lost an enormous employer in Roane County, in Spencer, West Virginia, which actually had a factory for clothing and textiles sewing. So we would have liked to have had that business in Spencer…
