The Public Record
Mr. Speaker, this bill would establish the National Historic Trails Center and Interpretive Center in Casper, Wyoming. H.R. 2186 was introduced in an effort to preserve and interpret several historic trails which crossed western America…
I do want to speak very briefly to rebut the argument by the sponsor of this amendment when he said that maintaining and repairing roads would not be possible. Well, if we read the amendment, we will see that in fact what I said is true…
Mr. Chairman, I find the Smith amendment to be very good for one of our most precious natural resources; that is, our forests and our ability to use them. And I find the Boehlert amendment to be radical and extreme. The Boehlert amendment…
after weeks of soul-ing, hearing from the people of Wyoming, and a thorough review of the evidence, I have reached a painful decision which I realize will severely impact our country and bring humiliation to another human being
Jackson Hole, WY is one of the most beautiful and unique areas of our Nation. Over 3 million visitors per year come to hike, camp, ski, and sightsee amidst the grandeur of the Teton range and the winding Snake River in Grand Teton National…
I am proud to say that I am an original cosponsor of the ban on partial-birth abortions. This bill, which is identical to last year's legislation, prohibits medical doctors who perform abortions from utilizing partial-birth abortion…
I support the chairman's substitute to H.R. 3579, which will transfer property known as Ranch A to the State of Wyoming. The changes that are incorporated in this amendment directly reflect those changes brought to me by the U.S. Fish and…
you all have seen the Nike ad with the words ``Just do it?'' That should be the slogan for the Democrats in Congress. They talk about a balanced budget. I say: Just do it. They talk about welfare reform. I say: Just do it. They talk about…
I have been misled. I thought that Members of Congress were supposed to hold themselves to a higher standard. I thought that they were supposed to conduct themselves in a respectful manner. I was even naive enough to believe that male…
today we will end months of intense negotiation with the administration on the omnibus appropriations bill, which provides funding for the Departments of Commerce, Interior, State, Labor, Justice, Housing and Urban Development, Veterans…
I want to talk about a very serious issue in our country today--crime. With all of the freedoms we enjoy in our country today, if we as citizens do not have confidence in our judicial system to keep the criminals off the streets, we do not…
while President Clinton claims that he is doing everything he can do to fight the war on drugs, I would like to respectfully give some examples refuting that claim. If President Clinton was doing all he could, he would not have issued the…
President Clinton and his administration have turned a blind eye to the alarming rise in youth drug abuse. Marijuana use among 12- to 17-year-olds rose from 1.6 million in 1992 to 2.9 million in 1994. Between 1992 and 1994 the number of…
H.R. 994 will improve the Federal regulatory system and is the first step toward ending the Clinton crunch. For too long small businesses have been subjected to a flood of regulation and compliance costs. It is estimated that for the…
I do have to take exception with the previous speaker. As it was pointed out earlier, there were 19 hearings held in order to put this bill together, so there was plenty of input, there was plenty of negotiation. This is a result of hours…
I have to go back to the remarks of the gentlewoman from Ohio when she said this is an argument between multinational corporations and small farmers, and she is exactly correct. This is like David versus Goliath. The only people that are…
the gentleman from Maryland who just preceded me said that this impasse has occurred because of the Republican Party, the majority in Congress, wants to give tax breaks to the wealthy. That is simply not the truth. The truth is this…
many of these places have not been surveyed. Many of these sections have not been surveyed. So it requires a professional to know what is private land and what is public land. Again, there are thousands and thousands and thousands of…
it is a personal disappointment and affront to me that Members of the minority party persist in their attack on our plan to provide nutritious meals to the Nation's schoolchildren. They claim that by block granting the nutrition programs…
I find myself compelled to rise and speak once again on behalf of truth and against the untrue accusations from the other side of the aisle. In no uncertain terms, the Republicans in Congress do not intend to deprive school children of…
Politicians like Barbara Cubin
