As speaker of the House, I have a national obligation to all my members to be in their districts and go out and spread the message,
Today I have reached a difficult personal decision. I will not be a candidate for Speaker of the 106th Congress,
It is not my habit to answer questions posed to me when I am halfway out the door with my back turned ... The speaker and I continue to work as effectively as we have for the last four years.
All they have left is to smear the speaker because they can't solve Medicare, they can't solve welfare and they can't balance the budget. This is the last pathetic thing they've got,
We're going to try to find everything we can to get the bill signed, and I have every reason to believe they'll be signed,
Isn't that the complete clear implication of that tape? And shouldn't somebody at the White House have a law enforcement responsibility to find out did the White House, in fact, threaten her job. Shouldn't that person be fired summarily?
I spent 40 years of my life getting us here, ... The idea that I would be the excuse to cannibalize the majority is so sickening I couldn't risk it.
I urge my colleagues to pick leaders who can both reconcile and discipline, who can work together and communicate effectively.
I urge Saddam Hussein to save the people of Iraq from violence, ... I urge him to take a step toward ultimately someday lifting the sanctions, I urge him to comply with United Nations resolution, and I want him to know that.
Every year that we wait, the risk increases. I would hope that the administration would decide to do something decisive. . . . We have the military power in the region if we need it. It's a question of whether we have the will.
President Mubarak has been a leader in trying to bring peace to the Middle East.
puts into question all of the Homeland Security and Northern Command planning for the last four years.
People can walk out, but what I'm saying is a fact about a crime,
We have every reason to believe that this terrorist organization will try to hurt other Americans,
