From the webmaster: The lame-stream Republicans can infiltrate the Tea Party Movement, but they cannot hijack Ron Paul’s Campaign for Liberty if members adhere to the words of Ron Paul. In all Ron Paul and C4L discussions, consult and cite Dr. Paul’s words frequently.
Ron Paul Quotes
Unfortunate Passage Of Foreign Affairs Conference Report


  Congressional Record

27 March 1998



(Mr. PAUL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.)

1998 Ron Paul 29:1
Mr. PAUL. Madam Speaker, yesterday the foreign affairs conference report was unfortunately passed without a recorded vote. For weeks, arms had been twisted because the votes were not available to pass it. This surprised some and pleased many who preferred not to be recorded on this crucial issue.

1998 Ron Paul 29:2
But, unfortunately, the process only adds to the cynicism that many Americans hold for the U.S. Congress. Nearly a billion dollars were appropriated for the controversial back dues to the United Nations, which for many of us was not owed.

1998 Ron Paul 29:3
It was argued by many right-to-life advocates that the bill was worth passing because the antiabortion language was stronger than ever and would now be codified. Unfortunately, the antiabortion language was weaker than ever with a convenient, huge loophole for the President to continue funding countries and groups that perform and promote abortion, language now to be codified.

1998 Ron Paul 29:4
Events surrounding the passage of the foreign affairs conference report occurring yesterday should not make any of us proud.
Note:

Ron Paul urged opposition to this measure, see 1998 Ron Paul Chapter 28.
