| 00:00:00 | IN THE COUNTRY? |
| 00:00:02 | IS ANYBODY GOING TO BE ABLE TO TRUST OUR COUNTRY? |
| 00:00:05 | BECAUSE WE CAN SAY IF WE DON'T LIKE SOMETHING, WE GO IT ALONE. |
| 00:00:08 | IT IS VERY WISE TO SUPPORT THE LEE AMENDMENT. |
| 00:00:10 | IT IS A GOOD LOOK BEFORE WE LEAP. |
| 00:00:11 | THANK YOU. |
| 00:00:13 | THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: THE GENTLEMAN'S TIME HAS EXPIRED. |
| 00:00:14 | THE GENTLELADY FROM CALIFORNIA. |
| 00:00:16 | MS. LEE: YES. PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY, MR. |
| 00:00:22 | SPEAKER. |
| 00:00:23 | AND I UNDERSTAND THE GENTLEMAN FROM ILLINOIS HAS THE RIGHT TO CLOSE. |
| 00:00:27 | THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: CORRECT. |
| 00:00:28 | MS. LEE: SO I WILL BE THE LAST SPEAKER ON OUR SIDE. |
| 00:00:31 | THANK YOU. |
| 00:00:32 | THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: THE GENTLELADY IS RECOGNIZED. |
| 00:00:35 | MS. LEE: THANK YOU, MR. |
| 00:00:36 | SPEAKER. |
| 00:00:37 | MY ALTERNATIVE GIVES THE UNITED NATIONS A CHANCE TO DO ITS JOB WHILE WE THINK THROUGH THE RAMIFICATIONS OF OUR ACTIONS. |
| 00:00:44 | HOW MANY LIVES WILL BE LOST? |
| 00:00:45 | WHAT WILL THIS COST OUR ECONOMY? |
| 00:00:48 | IT PROVIDES A VERY PRAGMATIC OPPORTUNITY TO STEP BACK AND EXPLAIN TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THE IMPLICATIONS OF AUTHORIZING A WAR. |
| 00:00:56 | IT WILL GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHAT OUR OWN INTELLIGENCE AGENCY MEANS -- LET ME QUOTE THIS, OUR INTELLIGENCE AGENCY SAYS, SHOULD SADDAM CONCLUDE THAT A U. |
| 00:01:11 | S.-LED ATTACK COULD NO LONGER BE DETERRED, THE PROBABILITY WOULD BECOME MUCH LESS CONSTRAINED IN ADOPTING TERRORIST ACTION. |
| 00:01:22 | OUR ACTION TODAY COULD CAUSE A REACTION OF CATASTROPHIC PROPORTIONS, NOT ONLY IN TERMS OF SADDAM HUSSEIN, BUT IN THE DESTABILIZATION OF THE MIDDLE EAST AND THE SETTING OF A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT. |
| 00:01:35 | I PLEAD WITH YOU TO OPPOSE THIS RUSH TO WAR. |
| 00:01:38 | IT IS MORALLY WRONG. |
| 00:01:40 | IT'S FINANCIALLY IRRESPONSIBLE. |
| 00:01:41 | AND IT'S NOT IN OUR NATIONAL SECURITY INTERESTS. |
| 00:01:45 | WE MUST WAIT. |
| 00:01:46 | WE MUST ASK THESE QUESTIONS. |
| 00:01:48 | WE MUST KNOW WHAT THE ECONOMIC IMPACT IS. |
| 00:01:51 | WE MUST KNOW WHAT THIS DOES IN TERMS OF THE LOSS OF LIVES OF OUR YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN. |
| 00:01:57 | THIS IS A DAY THAT WE MUST URGE REFLECTION, WE MUST URGE THIS BODY TO BECOME ATTENTIVE TO THE UNANSWERED QUESTIONS THAT ARE OUT THERE, MY FRIENDS. |
| 00:02:15 | IF OUR OWN INTELLIGENCE AGENCY -- AGENCIES SAY TO US THAT AUTHORIZING THE PRESIDENT'S RESOLUTION TO GO TO WAR, THAT SUPPORTING THAT EFFORT TO WAGE WAR COULD BE A PROVOCATIVE ACT AGAINST OUR COUNTRY, THAT IT COULD DESTABILIZE THE REGION, THAT IT COULD LEAD TO POSSIBLE TERRORIST ACTION, THAT'S VERY TERRIFYING, MR. |
| 00:02:42 | SPEAKER. |
| 00:02:43 | I BELIEVE THAT THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES MUST SAY NO TO ESTABLISHING THIS DANGEROUS PRECEDENT. |
| 00:02:51 | WE MUST NOT RUSH TO WAR. |
| 00:02:53 | WE MUST GIVE THE UNITED NATIONS TIME TO DO ITS WORK, INSPECTIONS WORKED IN THE 1990'S. |
| 00:03:03 | WE MUST USE THE TIME THAT THE UNITED NATIONS NEEDS, USE THAT TIME FOR US |
