AND WROTE THAT THE CLAIMS MADE TO JUSTIFY THE AMERICAN INVASION OF IRAQ WERE BASELESS, THAT THERE WERE NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION, THAT IRAQ POSED...
|
| 07:29:24 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
TO SURGE, THAT IS THE WRONG QUESTION. JUST SAYING
|
| 07:29:29 |
MR. SAXTON, -
NO IS SIMPLE OBSTRUCTIONIST. WHAT WE NEED IS A NEW WAY FORWARD TO REPLACE THE OLD WAY THAT ISN'T GETTING
|
| 07:29:37 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
US ANYWHERE. IT'S BECOME
|
| 07:29:39 |
Petri, Thomas "Tom" - U.S. Representative, [R] Wisconsin
CLEAR THAT TRYING TO ESTABLISH A MULTIETHNIC IRAQI DEMOCRACY, WHILE LOTTABLE, SIMPLY CANNOT BE ACCOMPLISHED BY NON-IRAQIS. THE FACT IS THAT IRAQ HAS...
|
| 07:33:34 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
WHEN OUR NATION HAS FACED ITS MOST SIGNIFICANT DEBATES OVER MATTERS OF WAR, THERE COMES
|
| 07:33:37 |
Reyes, Silvestre - U.S. Representative, [D] Texas
A TIME WHEN VOICES, PUNDITS AND POLITICIANS MUST DROP AWAY AND ALLOW THE VOICES OF THE PEOPLE TO BE HEARD. OUR TROOPS ARE BRAVE AND
|
| 07:33:47 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
CAPABLE. THEY HAVE FOUGHT
|
| 07:33:50 |
MS. SUTTON, -
HEROICALLY. AND THIS RESOLUTION MAKES
|
| 07:33:53 |
Sutton, Betty - U.S. Representative, [D] Ohio
IT CLEAR, THAT THOSE OF US WHO FEEL INCUMBENT TO OPPOSE THE PRESIDENT, NONETHELESS SUPPORT OUR TROOPS. ALL OF US, AND ALL AMERICANS, SUPPORT OUR TROOPS....
|
| 07:39:13 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
LIKE TO YIELD TO THE GENTLEMAN
|
| 07:39:16 |
MR. SAXTON, -
FROM MICHIGAN, MR. EHLERS FOR FIVE MINUTES. THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: THE GENTLEMAN IS RECOGNIZED
|
| 07:39:22 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
FOR FIVE MINUTES. MR. EHLERS: MR. SPEAKER,
|
| 07:39:25 |
MR. RYAN, -
I RISE RELUCTANTLY IN OPPOSITION TO THIS RESOLUTION. I SAY RELUCTANTLY BECAUSE I HAD
|
| 07:39:33 |
MR. SAXTON, -
HOPED TO BE ABLE TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF SOMETHING POSITIVE. A FRESH PERSPECTIVE, A NEW IDEA, A NEW
|
| 07:39:41 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
PATHWAY TO SUCCESS, ANYTHING TO ENCOURAGE AND FOSTER A POSITIVE
|
| 07:39:46 |
Ehlers, Vernon J. - U.S. Representative, [R] Michigan
OUTCOME IN THE IRAQ CONFLICT. BUT THIS RESOLUTION OFFERS NONE OF THESE THINGS. IT IS A SIMPLE, ALMOST MEANINGLESS, NONBINDING STATEMENT OF DISAPPROVAL...
|
| 07:44:12 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
THE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION. THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: 30 MINUTES OF DEBATE WILL BE ADDED ON THE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION TO EACH SIDE.
|
| 07:44:21 |
Hoyer, Steny H. - U.S. Representative, [D] Maryland
MR. HOYER: FOR THIS EVENING. THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: THE GENTLEMAN FROM MARYLAND. MR. HOYER: MR. SPEAKER, I ASK UNANIMOUS CONSENT THAT WHEN THE HOUSE...
|
| 07:44:35 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: IS THERE OBJECTION TO THE REQUEST? NO OBJECTION, SO ORDERED. MR. HOYER:
|
| 07:44:43 |
MR. HOYER, -
MR. SPEAKER, CONTINUING ON
|
| 07:44:45 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
MY UNANIMOUS CONSENT, I WOULD TELL THE
|
| 07:44:47 |
Hoyer, Steny H. - U.S. Representative, [D] Maryland
MEMBERS THAT WE DO NOT INTEND TO HAVE ANY ONE-MINUTES TOMORROW, SO WE WILL BEGIN DEBATE
|
| 07:44:56 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
AT 8 A.M. ON THIS RESOLUTION AND DEBATE WILL CONCLUDE
|
| 07:45:03 |
Hoyer, Steny H. - U.S. Representative, [D] Maryland
AT 1:00 A.M. AND WE WILL HAVE CONTINUING COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE MINORITY WITH REFERENCE TO THE BALANCE OF THE SCHEDULE FOR FRIDAY. AND I YIELD BACK...
|
| 07:45:37 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
MOAN: MR. SPEAKER, I RISE --
|
| 07:45:39 |
MR. REYES, -
MR. MAHONEY: MR. SPEAKER, I RISE TODAY WITH A CONVERSATION FOR MOTT ON
|
| 07:45:46 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
MY COLLEAGUES BUT MY CONSTITUENTS. -- FOR NOT ONLY MY COLLEAGUES BUT MY CONSTITUENTS. I HAVE OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS HEARD MANY ARGUMENTS AS TO THE
|
| 07:46:01 |
Mahoney, Tim - U.S. Representative, [D] Florida
WISDOM OF THE PRESIDENT TO DO SO. BUT THE ONE MESSAGE THAT ALL I'VE SPOKEN AGREE WITH, DEMOCRAT, REPUBLICAN, LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE, IS THAT OUR...
|
| 07:50:48 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
NONBINDING RESOLUTION. I CANNOT SUPPORT IT FOR IT
|
| 07:50:51 |
MR. SAXTON, -
NEITHER SUPPORTS OUR TROOPS NOR OFFERS US AN ALTERNATIVE PLAN. IT'S SYMBOLIC, IT'S PARTISAN, IT'S CYNICAL AND IT'S
|
| 07:50:59 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
MEANINGLESS. THE LEADERSHIP OF THIS BODY IS TAKING THE EASY
|
| 07:51:02 |
Biggert, Judy - U.S. Representative, [R] Illinois
ROUTE, CRITICIZE THE OTHER GUY'S PLAN BUT DON'T OFFER THEIR OWN, CALL UP YOUR OWN NONBINDING RESOLUTION BUT DON'T ALLOW VOTES ON RESOLUTIONS THAT ACTUALLY...
|
| 07:56:20 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
STRATEGY IN IRAQ, WE ALL AGREE THAT THE THE OUTCOME IN IRAQ WILL
|
| 07:56:24 |
MR. REYES, -
AFFECT OUR NATIONAL SECURITY AND THE SECURITY OF STABILITY OF THE MIDDLE EAST FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. I WAS NOT A MEMBER OF
|
| 07:56:31 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
THIS DISTINGUISHED BODY IN OCTOBER OF 2002, WHEN
|
| 07:56:34 |
Mitchell, Harry E. - U.S. Representative, [D] Arizona
MANY OF MY COLLEAGUES WERE FACED WITH THE DECISION OF WHETHER TO AUTHORIZE THE PRESIDENT TO GO TO WAR IN IRAQ. BUT FOUR YEARS LATER, I WAS ELECTED BY...
|
| 08:00:15 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
NON SENSECAL POLITICAL STATEMENT. IT WILL DEPRIVE
|
| 08:00:18 |
MR. SAXTON, -
OUR TROOPS OF THE REINFORCEMENTS THEY SO
|
| 08:00:22 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
DESPERATELY THEY NEED. LET'S GIVE THEM THE
|
| 08:00:24 |
Smith, Lamar S. - U.S. Representative, [R] Texas
REINFORCEMENTS THAT THEY WANT. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU WERE AN AMERICAN SOLDIER IN IRAQ AND CONGRESS PASSED THIS RESOLUTION? IT'S LIKE TELLING YOU...
|
| 08:02:19 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
MR. LEVIN: MADAM SPEAKER, I RISE IN STRONG SUPPORT OF THIS
|
| 08:02:23 |
Reyes, Silvestre - U.S. Representative, [D] Texas
RESOLUTION BEFORE THE HOUSE. WE NEED TO SEND A CLEAR BIPARTISAN MESSAGE TO THE WHITE HOUSE. THERE IS LITTLE SUPPORT IN THIS CONGRESS FOR DEEPENING OUR...
|
| 08:02:36 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
COMMITMENT IN IRAQ BY SENDING AN ADDITIONAL
|
| 08:02:41 |
Levin, Sander Martin - U.S. Representative, [D] Michigan
21,000 TROOPS INTO THIS CONFLICT. THE DEBATE WE ARE HAVING TODAY IS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF OUR NATION'S POLICY IN IRAQ. SO MY MAIN FOCUS WILL NOT BE TO...
|
| 08:07:21 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
TO THIS NONBINDING RESOLUTION. THIS ISN'T A DEBATE. WE DIDN'T HAVE AN OPEN RULE. THIS IS THE WRONG RESOLUTION
|
| 08:07:28 |
MR. HUNTER, -
AND SENDS THE WRONG MESSAGE TO OUR TROOPS, TO OUR ENEMIES, TO OUR ALLIES. TODAY, LIKE
|
| 08:07:35 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
MANY MEMBERS OF CONGRESS DO ON A REGULAR BASIS, I VISITED
|
| 08:07:39 |
Musgrave, Marilyn - U.S. Representative, [R] Colorado
WALTER REED. WHILE I WAS THERE, I VISITED WITH A YOUNG MAN FROM MY DISTRICT. HE HAD SEVERE INJURIES. AND AS I SAT AND TALKED TO HIM, HIS EMPTY EYE SOCKET...
|
| 08:10:57 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
NOVEMBER 7 IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THIS WAR IN IRAQ,
|
| 08:11:00 |
MR. REYES, -
DIRECTLY RELATED IN THE PRESENCE OF A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE NOW IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE WILL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO
|
| 08:11:08 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
END THIS WAR, WHICH NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN STARTED. FACT IS, THE STRATEGY TO ESCALATE
|
| 08:11:14 |
Ellison, Keith - U.S. Representative, [D] Minnesota
THE TROOPS IS NOT NEW. IT HAS BEEN TRIED AT LEAST FOUR OTHER TIMES. WON'T WORK THIS TIME AND DIDN'T WORK THOSE TIMES. THE THING TO DO NOW IS TO...
|
| 08:17:18 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
THAT I UNDERSTOOD THE DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP OR MEMBERS OF THAT LEADERSHIP STATED
|
| 08:17:22 |
MR. HUNTER, -
THEY WOULD USE D.O.D. MANAGEMENT POLICIES TO CUT OFF THE SENDING
|
| 08:17:26 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
OF
|
| 08:17:28 |
Hunter, Duncan Lee - U.S. Representative, [R] California
EITHER REINFORCEMENTS OR SUPPLIES TO THE WAR FIGHTING THEATER. AND THAT I WOULD OPPOSE THAT VERY STRONGLY. MY FRIEND, MR. REYES, EXPRESSED DOUBT THAT...
|
| 08:18:37 |
MR. HUNTER, -
A FEW MINUTES
|
| 08:18:40 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
AGO. IT APPEARS THAT STATEMENT MAY
|
| 08:18:43 |
Hunter, Duncan Lee - U.S. Representative, [R] California
BE MADE. MR. REYES: DID I HAR YOU SAY YOU SPOKE WITH MR. MURTHA. MR. HUNTER: I WILL YIELD AN ADDITIONAL MINUTE TO YIELD TO MY FRIEND. WHAT IS MY...
|
| 08:19:06 |
MR. REYES, -
THEY GET IT WRONG. SO I WOULD WAIT UNTIL WE TALK TO MR. MURTHA. MR. HUNTER: LET ME JUST SAY TO
|
| 08:19:13 |
MR. HUNTER, -
MY FRIEND I HOPE THIS IS A MISQUOTE, BUT CERTAINLY THERE WAS A PRESS CONFERENCE AND THIS IS -- THESE ARE THE QUOTES THAT
|
| 08:19:21 |
Reyes, Silvestre - U.S. Representative, [D] Texas
ARE REPORTED IN THE TRANSCRIPT BY THE PRESS. SO LET'S HOPE THAT IS NOT ACCURATE. IF IT'S NOT ACCURATE, I WILL BE VERY
|
| 08:19:32 |
Hunter, Duncan Lee - U.S. Representative, [R] California
HAPPY. IF IT IS ACCURATE, THAT WILL RECEIVE ENORMOUS OPPOSITION FROM THIS MEMBER OF CONGRESS. AND AT THIS TIME I WOULD LIKE TO YIELD FOUR MINUTES...
|
| 08:20:06 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
MEMBER OF CONGRESS OR POLITICAL
|
| 08:20:08 |
Whitfield, Edward "Ed" - U.S. Representative, [R] Kentucky
PARTY HAS A CLEAR CUT SOLUTION TO THE COMPLEX PROBLEMS OUR NATION FACES IN IRAQ. AND I EXPECT THAT EVERY MEMBER OF CONGRESS WILL SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS...
|
| 08:25:32 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
FOR YIELDING TO ME, THE CHAIRMAN OF THE
|
| 08:25:34 |
MR. REYES, -
HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE. MADAM SPEAKER, IT'S BEEN A LONG AND PAINFUL FOUR-YEAR JOURNEY FOR THE PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTRY SINCE THIS ADMINISTRATION...
|
| 08:25:45 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
PREEMPTIVELY AND UNILATERALLY TO INVADE AND OCCUPY
|
| 08:25:49 |
Eshoo, Anna G. - U.S. Representative, [D] California
IRAQ. POLICIES WHICH I BELIEVED THEN AND I STILL BELIEVE TODAY WOULD NOT AND COULD NOT STAND BECAUSE THEY SIMPLY ARE NOT IN OUR NATIONAL CHARACTER. ...
|
| 08:31:01 |
MR. REYES, -
THAT'S WHAT THIS DEBATE IS ABOUT. WE PAY TRIBUTE TO AND HONOR
|
| 08:31:07 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
OUR TROOPS WITH THEIR
|
| 08:31:09 |
MS. ESHOO, -
SERVICE. WE SAY AS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE SAID, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I URGE MY COLLEAGUES TO VOTE FOR THIS RESOLUTION AND YIELD BACK. THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE:...
|
| 08:31:45 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
A REGION OF STABILITY AND PEACE TO CREATE A MORE SECURE WORLD FOR
|
| 08:31:50 |
MRS. WILSON, -
OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN.
|
| 08:31:54 |
Herger, Walter "Wally" - U.S. Representative, [R] California
AL QAEDA SEEKS A REGION OF TERROR AND BLOODSHED. THE PRESIDENT BELIEVES VICTORY IN IRAQ IS KEY TO VICTORY ON THE WAR IN TERRORISM. AL QAEDA BELIEVES...
|
| 08:36:41 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
TODAY IS VERY CLEAR. CONGRESS AND THE AMERICAN
|
| 08:36:43 |
MR. REYES, -
PEOPLE SUPPORT OUR TROOPS WHO SERVE BRAVELY IN IRAQ AND CONGRESS DISAPPROVES OF PRESIDENT BUSH'S DECISION TO SEND AN ADDITIONAL 20,000 TROOPS TO IRAQ....
|
| 08:36:56 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
OUR NATION'S SUCCESS IN IRAQ AND IN THE GLOBAL WAR ON
|
| 08:37:00 |
Ruppersberger, C.A. "Dutch" - U.S. Representative, [D] Maryland
TERROR. OUR BRAVE SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN HAVE PERFORMED IN IRAQ WITH VALOR AND HONOR. THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THAT A GRATEFUL NATION HAS ASKED OF THEM...
|
| 08:42:19 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
RESOLUTION. MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE
|
| 08:42:21 |
MRS. WILSON, -
26 FAMILIES THAT HAVE LOST LOVED ONES IN THIS WAR AND OVER 3,000 AMERICAN CITIZENS THAT HAVE PAID THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE.
|
| 08:42:31 |
Porter, Jon - U.S. Representative, [R] Nevada
I CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN THE WAR ZONE TODAY AROUND THE WORLD AND FOR THE FAMILIES HERE AT HOME. YES, A LOT OF MISTAKES HAVE BEEN MADE....
|
| 08:47:29 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
PRESIDENT'S PLAN TO SEND ADDITIONAL TROOPS
|
| 08:47:32 |
MR. REYES, -
TO THE PRESIDENT'S PLAN -- TROOPS TO IRAQ. I RISE AS THE CONGRESSIONAL MAJORITY REPRESENTING MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WHO VOTED
|
| 08:47:41 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
FOR A NEW DIRECTION IN RUKE. I RISE REPRESENTING MY OWN
|
| 08:47:46 |
Roybal-Allard, Lucille - U.S. Representative, [D] California
34TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA WHOSE CONSTITUENTS OVERWHELMINGLY OPPOSE THIS ESCALATION. PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANTLY, I RISE AS THE PROUD STEPMOTHER...
|
| 08:52:51 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
|
| 08:52:53 |
Unidentified Speaker, -
MR. REYNOLDS: WE HAVE CONSTITUENTS WHO HAVE SERVED BRAVERY IN IRAQ AND SOME HAVE
|
| 08:52:59 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE FOR THIS SERVICE AND WE ARE FOREVER GRATEFUL
|
| 08:53:03 |
MR. RENLEDS, -
FOR THAT. THESE MEN AND WOMEN PUT
|
| 08:53:06 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
OUR FREEDOMS AP OUR COUNTRY BEFORE THEMSELVES. IT IS THIS FREEDOM THAT AFFORDS US THE ABILITY TO UNDERTAKE THE DEBATE ON
|
| 08:53:14 |
MR. RENLEDS -- MR. REYNOLDS, -
THIS SHALLOW, SHORTSIGHTED RESOLUTION. IF THE PURPOSE OF THIS RESOLUTION IS SCORING POLITICAL POINTS AND PLAYING POLITICAL GAMES, THEN BRAVO TO THE DEMOCRATIC...
|
| 08:58:20 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
QUESTION RAISED BY THIS RESOLUTION IS WILL WE YIELD. AS
|
| 08:58:25 |
MR. REYNOLDS, -
WINSTON CHURCHILL SAID REFLECTING ON THE DARKEST DAYS ONE THAT PITIED THE HOPES OF FREEDOM AGAINST THE IDEOLOGY OF HATRED, NEVER GIVE IN, NEVER, ...
|
| 08:59:04 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
EXPRESS MY STRONG
|
| 08:59:06 |
MR. REYNOLDS, -
SUPPORT FOR MY -- FOR OUR NATION'S MILITARY. I'M A PROUD VETERAN.
|
| 08:59:12 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
I KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO SAY GOODBYE TO LOVED ONES AND BE GONE FOR A YEAR OR 13 MONTHS
|
| 08:59:17 |
MR. REYES, -
AS IN MY CASE WHEN I SERVED IN
|
| 08:59:20 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
VIETNAM. I VOTED AGAINST AUTHORIZING
|
| 08:59:23 |
Reyes, Silvestre - U.S. Representative, [D] Texas
THE USE OF FORCE AGAINST IRAQ BECAUSE I DID NOT BELIEVE THAT THE EVIDENCE PROVIDED BY THE ADMINISTRATION PARTICULARLY THE INTELLIGENCE DATA WERE SUFFICIENT...
|
| 09:04:36 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
FOR THEM. AND
|
| 09:04:37 |
MR. REYES, -
OTHERS FEEL THE SAME WAY. I AM NOT ASKING YOU TO CHANGE THE WAY THINGS ARE BUT RATHER VOICE YOUR OPINION AND RAISE A FLAG FOR THOSE OF US THAT CANNOT....
|
| 09:05:51 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
THEATRICALLY DEBATING THIS NONBINDING, THAT MEANS, PRETEND RESOLUTION. WHILE THE OTHER CHANNELS SHOWED AN AMERICAN CHOPPER HIT BY ROCKET AND BILLOING...
|
| 09:06:03 |
Unidentified Speaker, -
FALLING IN THE GROUND KILLING ALL AMERICAN SOLDIERS
|
| 09:06:07 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
ABOARD. TONIGHT, OUR SOLDIERS
|
| 09:06:09 |
Unidentified Speaker, -
FACE REAL BULLETS AND REAL EXPLOSIVE DEVICES. WE DEBATE A PRETEND RESOLUTION. I WISH I COULD SAY THIS IS A WASTE OF TIME BUT IT IS FAR MORE THAN THAT....
|
| 09:11:11 |
MS. GIFFORDS, -
TO A SPORTS STADIUM WITHOUT BEING TORN APART IN EXPLOSION. IF WE BELIEVE THE PRICE OF WAR
|
| 09:11:16 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
IS HIGH, WAIT UNTIL WE ENDURE
|
| 09:11:19 |
Brady, Kevin - U.S. Representative, [R] Texas
THE PRICE OF TERROR HERE IN AMERICA. OUR SOLDIERS ARE GIVING THEIR BLOOD. WHAT ARE WE GIVING THEM, A RESOLUTION? I YIELD BACK. THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE:...
|
| 09:11:50 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
AND VOTED AGAINST GIVING THE
|
| 09:11:52 |
Unidentified Speaker, -
PRESIDENT AUTHORITY TO WAGE WAR IN IRAQ. AND I
|
| 09:11:55 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
DID SO BECAUSE
|
| 09:11:57 |
Rodriguez, Ciro - U.S. Representative, [D] Texas
I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT CONGRESS SHOULD NOT -- SHOULD NOT ADVOCATE THE WAR POWERS. AND I ALSO RECOGNIZED, HAVING SERVED IN THE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE,...
|
| 09:16:40 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
THE TERRORISTS AND
|
| 09:16:42 |
Unidentified Speaker, -
DEPRESS THE MORALE OF OUR SOLDIERS WHO
|
| 09:16:49 |
McCaul, Michael - U.S. Representative, [R] Texas
ARE CARRYING OUT THEIR MISSION AS WE SPEAK. AT THE SAME TIME GENERAL PETRAEUS WAS CONFIRMED BY THE SENATE THIS PLAN WAS INTRODUCED. NEVER IN OUR...
|
| 09:22:02 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
DIED, 23,000 AMERICAN SOLDIERS HAVE BEEN
|
| 09:22:05 |
Unidentified Speaker, -
INJURED. $532 BILLION HAVE BEEN APPROPRIATED BY CONGRESS OR REQUESTED BY THE ADMINISTRATION. YOU ONLY NEED TO TALK OR READ LETTERS FROM RETURNING...
|
| 09:22:16 |
Tierney, John - U.S. Representative, [D] Massachusetts
IS UNCLEAR AND THE GOALS REMAIN UNDEFINED. OUR MEN AND WOMEN ARE NOT CERTAIN THEY ARE FIGHTING SUNNIS OR SHIITES AND IT DEPENDS WHERE THEY ARE TO DETERMINE...
|
| 09:27:37 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
I'M ONE OF THE
|
| 09:27:39 |
MRS. WILSON, -
54 NEWLY ELECTED MEMBERS THIS CONGRESS. WE DID NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE ON THE
|
| 09:27:45 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
USE OF MILITARY FORCE IN IRAQ. I WANT TO
|
| 09:27:48 |
McCarthy, Kevin - U.S. Representative, [R] California
HAVE AN HONEST DEBATE. NOT FOR POLITICAL GAIN AND NOT ONE THAT QUESTIONS ANYONE'S PATRIOTISM. I BELIEVE EVERYONE IN THIS BODY WANTS TO MOVE THIS COUNTRY...
|
| 09:31:47 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
AND IMPORTANT STEP TOWARDS THE END OF THE IRAQ
|
| 09:31:49 |
Unidentified Speaker, -
WAR. A WAR
|
| 09:31:52 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
SO ILL-CONCEIVED, SO
|
| 09:31:54 |
MR. UDALL, -
ILL-PLANNED FOR AND SO ILL-EXECUTED THAT IT
|
| 09:31:57 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
HAS COST OUR NATION
|
| 09:31:59 |
Udall, Tom - U.S. Representative, [D] New Mexico
ALMOST $400 BILLION. IGNITED A CIVIL WAR AND FURTHER DESTABILIZED AN ALREADY FRAGILE MIDEAST REGION. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THIS WAR HAS RESULTED IN THE...
|
| 09:36:59 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
RESOLUTION. THE ISSUE THAT WE ARE
|
| 09:37:01 |
MRS. WILSON, -
HERE DEBATING NOW IS WHETHER OR NOT WE SUPPORT THE REINFORCEMENTS THAT
|
| 09:37:05 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF HAS
|
| 09:37:07 |
Diaz-Balart, M. - U.S. Representative, [R] Florida
SENT TO IRAQ. AT THE REQUEST OF THE COMMANDERS ON THE FIELD, THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF MADE THE DECISION TO SEND THE REQUESTED REINFORCEMENTS TO IRAQ....
|
| 09:39:40 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
NO MATTER WHERE WE STAND ON THIS WAR, NO MATTER WHERE
|
| 09:39:43 |
MR. SPRATH, -
WE VOTE ON THIS RESOLUTION, WE ARE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE BRAVE
|
| 09:39:48 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN THAT COME
|
| 09:39:50 |
Filner, Robert "Bob" - U.S. Representative, [D] California
HOME GET ALL OF THE CARE AND SUPPORT THEY NEED FROM A GRATEFUL NATION. WE WILL SHOW WHAT SUPPORT OF THE TROOPS MEANS WHEN THEY DO COME HOME. NOW THOSE...
|
| 09:44:23 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
TERRORISM TO STOP. OVER THE LAST FEW
|
| 09:44:25 |
MRS. WILSON, -
WEEKS, MANY OF MY CONSTITUENTS TOLD ME
|
| 09:44:28 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
THE SAME FEELINGS
|
| 09:44:29 |
Murphy, Timothy "Tim" - U.S. Representative, [R] Pennsylvania
AND THEIR STRONG FEELINGS IN SUPPORT OF OR AGAINST THIS RESOLUTION. I HEAR YOUR CONCERNS. NO ONE CAN DOUBT YOUR LOVE OF YOUR COUNTRY. LIKE YOU, I...

THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
MR. SPRATT: I YIELD FIRST TO TRGE SOUTH CAROLINA, MR. CLYBURN. THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: THE DISTINGUISHED MAJORITY WHIP IS RECOGNIZED.

Unidentified Speaker, -
2 OF HOUSE RESOLUTION 157 AND AS THE DESIGNEE OF THE MAJORITY LEADER I DEMAND THAT THE TIME FOR DEBATE ON THE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION BE ENLARGED BY...
|
| 09:49:47 |
Clyburn, James E. - U.S. Representative, [D] South Carolina
LEADERS OR THEIR DESIGNEES. THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: UNDER THE RULE, THAT WILL BE THE ORDER. MR. CLYBURN: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MADAM SPEAKER. I YIELD...

|
| 09:50:17 |
MR. CLYBURN, -
BEFORE US TODAY. IN
|
| 09:50:20 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
CLEAR AND SUCCINCT LANGUAGE IT SAYS WHAT MUST BE SAID ABOUT THE WAR IN IRAQ THAT AMERICA
|
| 09:50:26 |
MR. SPRATT, -
IS ENGAGED IN BY THE CHOICE OF PRESIDENT BUSH. I SUPPORT OUR MEN AND WOMEN ON
|
| 09:50:30 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
THE FRONTLINE WITH THE TRAINING, BODY AND VEHICLE
|
| 09:50:34 |
Olver, John W. - U.S. Representative, [D] Massachusetts
ARMOR AND EQUIPMENT THEY NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL AT THE TASK THEY HAVE GIVEN. I SUPPORT THEM AS THEY RETURN, SAFE AND SOUND OR SCARRED BY GREVOUS...

THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
WAR IN

MRS. WILSON, -
IRAQ. A COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW OF THE CURRENT SITUATION AND I WOULD LIKE TO ASSOCIATE MYSELF WITH HIS COMMENTS.
|
| 09:55:00 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
I HOPE MY COLLEAGUES AND THOSE
|
| 09:55:02 |
Hobson, David "Dave" - U.S. Representative, [R] Ohio
FOLLOWING THIS DEBATE WILL TAKE A MOMENT TO READ HIS REMARKS. LIKE MR. SHAYS, I RISE IN OPPOSITION TO THIS RESOLUTION. THIS IS THE WRONG RESOLUTION TO...

| 09:59:19 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
FOR THE QUAGMIRE OUR NATION
|
| 09:59:21 |
MR. SPRATT, -
FINDS ITSELF IN IN IRAQ, BUT I DO FIND IT CURIOUS DURING THIS DEBATE THAT
|
| 09:59:26 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
THE OPPONENTS OF THIS RESOLUTION WANT US TO BELIEVE THAT THE HISTORY OF
|
| 09:59:31 |
Grijalva, Raul - U.S. Representative, [D] Arizona
THE IRAQ WAR BEGINS TODAY, THAT IT HAS NO PAST, THAT IT HAS NO CONSEQUENCES, JUST A DOUBTFUL FUTURE. THIS HEAD IN THE SAND ATTITUDE WHILE POLITICALLY...
|
| 10:04:51 |
THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
SIGNIFICANCE -- OPPOSITION
|
| 10:04:52 |
MRS. WILSON, -

AND BRINGING OUR MEN AND WOMEN HOME, I REGRET
|
| 10:05:01 |
Hall, Ralph M. - U.S. Representative, [R] Texas
TO SAY THAT THIS BILL BEFORE US TODAY WILL NOT LEAD TO THAT GOAL. NOBODY WANTS THIS WAR TO END THAN THOSE FIGHTING IN IT. AND WE NEED TO DO WHAT IT...

THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -

THE PRESIDENT'S ILL-CONCEIVED ESCALATION PLAN, REVERSING OUR PRESENT COURSE
|

SEARCHING FOR A WAY OUT, THE PRESIDENT PROPOSES TO DIG DOWN DEEPER, PLUNGING FURTHER INTO A DARK ABYSS, BLINDED BY IDEOLOGY, THE PRESIDENT'S SOLUTION...

THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -

| 11:57:53 |
MR. BUYER, -
SAID, BECAUSE I REMEMBERED SOMETHING THAT WAS VERY CURIOUS

THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, -
