Mr. CRENSHAW

Mr. CRENSHAW. I thank the gentleman for yielding me this time, Madam Speaker; and I rise in strong support of this rule. I think that the underlying legislation is much needed and long overdue. I have been working to help reform the United Nations since I first came to Congress, and I have not found anybody yet that disagrees with the fact that we very, very direly need to reform the United Nations. This once-utopian organization has degenerated into an institution that is largely dysfunctional and on the verge of becoming irrelevant, and that is why we need these reforms and we need them now. There are a lot of areas that this legislation deals with, whether it is cronyism, corruption, or financial mismanagement. But I just want to stress one that relates to budgetary reform and the way that people vote on that. Right now, the United States contributes about 22 percent of the general budget of the United Nations and 28 percent of the peacekeeping budget. If you take the last 128 nations that contribute dues, if you put all their dues together, that adds up to less than 1 percent; yet they have the same vote. Those 128 nations have the same vote as the United States. In fact, if you take the top three countries, they contribute over half the dues, and yet everybody has the same vote on budgetary matters. Imagine a family, if you will, where the dad goes out and works all year and provides income for his family. And at the time to decide how to spend it, the four kids get up and say, this is what we want to do, this is where we want to go on our vacation, this is what hotel we want to stay in. Well, that is the way the United Nations works, and that is why we need the Henry Hyde U.N. Reform Act we are considering today. One of the reforms in this act would say that when you vote on budgetary matters, then you weight those votes. That would do two things: number one, it would mean that the countries that contribute the most money would have more leverage in making sure that the money gets spent where it is supposed to be spent and in making sure that they get the results they want to get. And it also would encourage some of the other countries to contribute more money to the dues of the United Nations. One of the areas we often hear criticized is this area of cronyism. It is unbelievable, but the United Nations, if you count the full-time and the contract employees, they have over 43,000 employees. To put that in perspective, a lot of multibillion dollar corporations do not have that many employees. Ebay, people have heard of that, is a company worth $52 billion, and the United Nations has five times as many employees as they have. Anheiser Busch, which makes and sells beer around the world, the U.N. has a third more employees than they have. So I think it is time that we got a handle on how the money that American taxpayers send off to the United Nations gets spent, and this haphazard budgetary process can be changed by weighted voting. There is no doubt in my mind that the time is now for reform at the U.N. This organization has become a shadow of its former self and likely bears little resemblance to what its founders had envisioned. Amid charges of cronyism, corruption, and financial scandal in recent months, the relevance and reputation of the United Nations has deteriorated drastically. What's more, the U.N. appears to engage in anti-American sentiment for sport, promoting it around the globe. This is a true slap in the face to the United States. After all, we are going to contribute 22 percent of the U.N.'s general budget and 28 percent of its peacekeeping budget this year. This means a funding request for Fiscal Year 2006 of $439 million by President Bush. The top 10 contributors of U.N. dues account for more than 76 percent of all dues paid while the 128 countries with the lowest dues account for less than 1 percent of dues paid. However, among the 192 member countries, everyone's vote is worth the same. Imagine this scenario: parents agreeing to fund the family vacation, but allowing the children to dictate where the family goes, what hotel they stay at, and what activities they do. That's what is happening at the U.N. right now and that is why we need to support the Hyde Bill. H.R. 2745 calls for weighted voting on budgetary matters. Weighted voting on budgetary matters would give the U.N.'s biggest contributors more leverage to ensure that their money is achieving the purposes for which it is intended. Weighted voting would encourage other countries to increase their contribution to the organization. The State Department said the U.S. paid nearly $3.9 billion in contributions to the U.N. system in 2004. And who knows where that money went? Some of it likely went to fund patronage jobs of which the U.N. has many. Between full-time employees and contract workers, the U.N. employs almost 43,000 people. Let me put that in perspective: 43,000 workers is more than five times more the total employed by eBay, a company worth almost $52 billion. Another kicker: total U.N. employment is nearly one third greater than that of Anheuser-Busch, another multi-billion dollar company. As elected officials, we have an obligation to be good stewards of the taxpayers' money. It is our responsibility to bring reform to the U.N.'s haphazard budget practices and the Henry Hyde U.N. Reform Act of 2005 is a step toward accomplishing that goal. The American people deserve nothing less. Madam Speaker, I urge adoption of the rule and the underlying bill.

Mr. CRENSHAW

Mr. CRENSHAW. Mr. Speaker, I rise to lend my voice to the cause of remembrance. Today is Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. This is a day aside on the Jewish calendar to remember the murdered Six Million of the Holocaust and to remind us all what can happen when bigotry, hatred, and indifference are allowed to permeate a society. It has been 60 years since the end of the Holocaust. We mark this passing of time because while the Holocaust serves as a vivid reminder of the worst mankind has to offer, we must remain vigilant so that all might learn its lessons. Its horror demands that we fight tyranny. Its victims show us the dangers of ignorance. Its lesson is that we must never embrace indifference if we are to advance in peace. Yom HaShoah is the occasion to pay tribute to the lives lost and a time to rededicate ourselves to work together toward greater understanding so that this unspeakable horror never visits our societies again. Mr. Speaker, I have been to Jerusalem. I have been to Yad Vashem and the Western Wall. The emotional power of these places moved me to a greater belief in two things that the power of faith is unbreakable and that hard work and patience can achieve the goals of peace. Let us today allow Yom HaShoah to remind us of both faith and peace.

Mr. CRENSHAW

Mr. CRENSHAW. Mr. Speaker, let me just say, over the last 4 years our economy has faced some pretty serious challenges; but, today, the consensus of both the private and public forecasters is that our economy is in a sustained expansion, with solid growth of real GDP and payroll jobs, unemployment rate at its lowest point in 4 years, and inflation remaining relatively in check. Let me give some highlights of this economic success. Real GDP has increased for 14 consecutive quarters, including the first quarter of 2005 when it grew at 3.1 percent and, last year, the average growth was 4.4 percent, and that is the best it has done in 5 years. As my colleagues know, homeownership has continued to be at an all-time high, 69 percent. Housing construction continues at record paces. New home sales are up again in March, over 12 percent, another record high, and the unemployment rate is down to 5.2 percent. That is lower than the decade average in the 1970s, the 1980s, and the 1990s. These figures are not just abstractions. They represent something real that is happening in our economy: real growth, real job creation. And this budget that we are going to pass today ensures that we are doing everything that we can do to support the sustained growth in job creation which is so critical to our Nation and its people. This year's budget is not an easy budget, but the steps it takes to keep taxes and spending down are critical to a strong economy and a better life for all Americans.

Mr. CRENSHAW

Mr. CRENSHAW. Mr. Chairman, I thank the chairman for yielding me time, and want to commend him for his hard work in crafting this fiscally responsible budget which fulfills Congress's commitment to protecting American citizens. As the chairman just stated, the driving force of this budget is to make sure, first and foremost, that our most critical priorities are met, and there is no greater priority in this budget than making sure that America's continued strength and security are intact. Our number one commitment to the American people continues to be the protection of their security. Five years ago when I decided to run for Congress, I decided because I looked at our military, I saw that it was underfunded, I saw that it was overdeployed. In fact, in the late 1990s, the service chiefs had warned Congress that our Nation was on the brink of a hollow military, with inadequate funding for troop training and maintenance of equipment. This became painfully clear when we were attacked on September 11. Our Nation had severe defense and homeland security deficits that had to be addressed immediately. Since that day, Congress has shown that we are more than willing to spend whatever is necessary to protect and defend our Nation and support our troops. Since September 11, we have spent $1.9 trillion, almost $2 trillion, to provide for the defense and homeland security of this Nation, and that does not include the supplementals that we have already passed, which add up to $248 billion. So we have done a whole lot of very necessary and very costly building, rebuilding and across-the-board updating to correct those deficits, and we acted quickly, deliberately, and in a bipartisan way to address those needs. I am glad to say that this year's defense and homeland security budget builds on the substantial progress we have already made. Our national defense base budget continues the multiyear plan to enable the military not only to fight the war against terrorism today, but to transform our military to counter some of the unconventional threats that will come in the future, and Congress has shown that we are more than willing to do whatever it takes. I am going to show you a chart, and this shows that since 2000 we have increased spending for the military by 66 percent. You can see it goes from $287 billion to $476 billion these last 5 years. So that is quite a commitment. Now, this budget accommodates the President's request for the Department of Defense and increases our spending this year up to $419.5 billion, almost $420 billion. That is an increase over last year of 4.8 percent. It also proposes a sustained average increase of 3 percent over the next 5 years. I think we all know that the most important part of our defense funding is for the people, the men and women who serve our country, the finest military personnel in the world. To support them and to allow the Department of Defense to continue to recruit and train first-rate forces, this budget builds on the critically needed funding increases of the past few years for military personnel. Since President Bush took office, we have increased spending in military personnel accounts by approximately 40 percent, providing such quality of life advancements as, number one, an increase in military pay of 21 percent. We have reduced the average out-of-pocket housing expenses for military people from 18 percent down to zero. They do not have to pay on average any out-of-pocket expenses for their military housing. And we fully funded the health benefits for active duty members, for retirees and their dependents as well. We spend money in operations and maintenance. That is the core of our readiness to fight this global war on terrorism. This budget provides for increases in training and education, operations and support for the military forces, maintenance of field weapons systems and equipment, and operation and maintenance of facilities. In total, operations and maintenance has gone up by 20 percent over the last 4 years. To continue our effort to replace worn out or obsolete equipment, we provide for procurement of new ships, aircraft and vehicles, as well as the purchase and initial fielding of weapons systems, ammunition and other combat-related systems. Over the past 4 years, funding for procurement has increased 25 percent. Also, as the chairman noted in his opening statement, we have included in our budget $50 billion to fight the ongoing War on Terror. Mr. Chairman, the number one responsibility of the Federal Government is to protect American lives, and I am proud to say that this budget does just that. I urge its adoption.

Mr. CRENSHAW

Mr. CRENSHAW. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the right honorable gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Ros-Lehtinen).

Mr. CRENSHAW. Mr. Speaker, reclaiming my time, it is clear from what we have heard tonight the great esteem in which Tillie Fowler was held in this House. We have heard about her service in the community, we have heard about her service in local politics, and we have heard about her service here in the United States House of Representatives, as well as when she left this place. So I would simply say in closing that we all loved Tillie, we all will miss Tillie. One of the things was, in spite of all the honors and accomplishments that came about in her short life, she was always just a great friend. As I said, I never had a chance to serve in this body with her because I took her place when she left, but knowing her for 35 years and watching her in the community, seeing how hard she worked, observing all the things that people have talked about tonight, it is just so clear the legacy that she leaves behind. I can remember just a couple of occasions, once when she came to see me when she was going to run for the city council. She said, What do you think? I lived in that particular district; my brother had represented that area. I said, Tillie, it would just be magnificent if you would do that. You have been involved in the community; you have done so much. What a great service you would be. I said, You are going to be a star, I can just tell. I know you. She became one of the first women to serve on our city council, the first Republican president of the city council, the first woman to be president of the city council. Then she went on to serve in this body. I think most people know she left in 2000 after serving for 8 years, not because she would not have been reelected overwhelmingly, but because she made a promise to the people in her district that she would only serve for four terms. It would have been very easy for her to decide that people needed her. She would have won overwhelmingly. But, true to who she was, she made a commitment and she kept it. It was as simple as that. When I decided to run in 2000, I will never forget the night that I called Tillie to say, in a strange set of circumstances all this kind of came about, I said, I have decided to run in the seat that you are going to vacate. You could feel this sense of excitement and enthusiasm over the telephone, that somebody that she had known for 35 years, and I am honored to say she believed in me, not only just helped me in the campaign, but paved the way for me in this body, to bring me up, introduce me to her friends, her colleagues, many whom you have heard tonight, just went out of her way to go above and beyond. That is just the kind of person she was. She did everything wholeheartedly. She came to see me the last Friday, the following Monday is when she had the stroke, but true to form, she came to see me just to visit, to talk about things. She was almost like another Representative from the fourth district. She never stopped serving the people. We talked about issues that were important, and how she could help and ``here are some ideas.'' Always, always on the go. So, tonight we are sad. We will miss her. She will be missed. She will be missed not only by her family, she will be missed not only by her friends, not only by the people of Florida, but she will be missed by the people of this Nation whom she so proudly served.

Mr. CRENSHAW. I yield now to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Putnam).

Mr. CRENSHAW. I yield now to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Davis).

Mr. CRENSHAW. I yield now to the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Harris). (Ms. HARRIS asked and was given permission to revise and extend her remarks.)

Mr. CRENSHAW. Mr. Speaker, I yield now to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. DeLay), the distinguished majority leader of the House.

Mr. CRENSHAW. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to join with my colleagues in celebrating the life and accomplishments of former Congresswoman Tillie Kidd Fowler. Ms. Fowler passed away suddenly last week but leaves a proud legacy of achievement and integrity. Tillie Fowler was born in 1942 and grew up in Milledgeville, Georgia. Her father, state Senator Culver Kidd, was a legendary Democratic political figure in the Georgia Legislature for over 40 years and her mother, Katherine, was active in the community. She received both her bachelor's degree and law degree from Emory University. After law school, she moved to Washington, DC and worked as a congressional staffer for Representative Robert Stephens (D-GA) and later as Counsel in the White House Office of Consumer Affairs under President Richard Nixon. In 1968, she married attorney L. Buck Fowler and in 1971 moved to Jacksonville, Florida. Shortly thereafter, she put her professional career on hold to raise her daughters, Tillie Anne and Elizabeth. During this time she served as the President of the Junior League of Jacksonville (1982-83), chaired the Florida Humanities Council (1989-91) and was active in a number of other charitable organizations, including the American Red Cross and Volunteer Jacksonville. She returned to political public service when she was elected to the Jacksonville City Council in 1985. She became that body's first Republican and first woman President. Tillie Fowler was elected to Congress in 1992, winning a seat that had been held by a Democrat for 42 years. She secured an appointment to the House Armed Services committee, the only Republican woman on that committee at the time. Her subcommittee assignments included Readiness, Personnel and Military Construction. In 1997, she was appointed by the Speaker of the House to a task force created to investigate allegations of sexual harassment and abuse at U.S. military training bases. She also served on the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, and in the 106th Congress she was named Chairman of the newly created Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations and Emergency Management. In 1998, she was chosen by her Republican colleagues to be the Vice Chairman of the Republican Conference, making her the highest-ranking woman in the U.S. Congress when she retired. She also served for six years as a Deputy Majority Whip. A year and a half before the terrible events of September 11, 2001, she drafted the Preparedness Against Terrorism Act of 2000 (H.R. 4210). Her bill would have centralized the Federal government's anti-terrorism efforts by creating the President's Council on Domestic Terrorism Preparedness within the White House. Many of her proposed reforms were enacted in the legislation creating the Department of Homeland Security. Her reputation as a knowledgeable and articulate U.S. Representative resulted in her appointment to several boards outside of her committee responsibilities: U.S. Naval Academy Board of Visitors; Stennis Center for Public Service Board of Trustees, Vice Chairman; Defense Department's Centers for Security Studies Board of Visitors; and the House Page Board, Chairman. Upon her departure from Congress, Representative Fowler's extraordinary efforts to ensure a strong United States military were recognized by the Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary of Defense. She received the Navy's Distinguished Public Service Award and the Department of Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service. These are the highest civilian awards given by the Navy and the Department of Defense. Shortly after leaving Congress, she was appointed by the Speaker of the House to the Commission on the Future of the Aerospace Industry which was created by Congress to assess the aerospace industry in the global economy, particularly in relationship to the national security of the United States. The Center for Strategic & International Studies also named her to its Distinguished Congressional Fellows panel. She was appointed to the Defense Policy Board Advisory Committee by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld in 2001. In May of 2003, the Secretary named her as Chairman of the prestigious board which advises the Secretary of Defense on issues central to strategic planning for the department. She is the first woman to serve of Chairman of the Defense Policy Board in its 20-year history. She also serves on the Chief of Naval Operations' Executive Panel whose purpose is to advise the CNO on questions related to national seapower. In the spring of 2003, she was appointed by the Secretary of Defense to lead the seven-member panel created by Congress to review sexual misconduct allegations at the U.S. Air Force Academy. The panel conducted a 90-day study of the policies, management, organizational practices and cultural elements of the Academy that may have been conducive to alleged sexual misconduct. The panel's final report was delivered to the Secretary of Defense and the Congress on September 22, 2003. When allegations of prisoner abuse by U.S. military personnel at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq surfaced in May 2004, the Secretary of Defense again turned to Representative Fowler. The Secretary appointed her along with two former Secretaries of Defense and a retired four-star general, to a blue-ribbon panel charged with providing the Secretary with independent, professional advice on issues related to the allegations of prisoner mistreatment. And finally, Mr. Speaker, this House was a better place for Tillie Fowler's service. She was a remarkable woman with a rare combination of passionate drive and dedication for what she believed and a caring spirit for the people around her. She made people feel at ease and she always did anything she could to help others. During lifetime of service she exhibited a striking presence of personality, integrity and intellect that will be sorely missed. Mr. Speaker, I would like to yield to our conference chairman, the gentlewoman from Ohio (Ms. Pryce).

Mr. CRENSHAW. Mr. Speaker, last Wednesday we announced on the floor of this House that our former colleague, Tillie Fowler, had passed away that day. She suffered a stroke on Monday and went to the hospital and never recovered from that. It was a sad day for all of us, and there were so many Members that served with Tillie that wanted to honor her life and her achievements that we asked for this time tonight to celebrate her life, to celebrate the contributions that she made not only to her community, not only to the State of Florida, but to the Nation as a whole; and so that is why we are here tonight. Tillie Fowler was one of those unique individuals that could balance so many things in her life. I never had the chance to actually serve with Tillie because we were from the same hometown and while she served on the city council at the local level, I was serving in the State government; and when she left the Congress in 2000, I ran to take her seat. But I knew her as a friend for 35 years, and I watched her involve herself in the community, and I watched her get involved in local politics; I watched her become a United States House of Representative representative from the Fourth Congressional District. Through all of that, I saw the way that she loved her children, the way that she loved her husband, Buck, and the way that she loved her community. I can remember so many times, as we would come back, because she was in Washington working with a large law firm, that we would ride a plane here and ride a plane back to Jacksonville and her husband, Buck, was always there at the airport to greet her and give her a big hug. So I just think there are so many people here that cared so much about her, because not only was she tough in what she tried to do but, more than anything, she just liked people. She cared about people, whether they were important people or just people she would see on the street. She had a way of making everybody feel at ease. So, Mr. Speaker, I am saddened by her death, but I am proud of the legacy that she leaves behind her; and I know that Members here tonight share in that.

Mr. CRENSHAW. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend their remarks on the subject of this Special Order.

Mr. CRENSHAW

Mr. CRENSHAW. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Tillie had an awful lot of friends in this Chamber. And for those of you that will not be able to go to Jacksonville for the funeral service on Friday, next Tuesday night we have reserved a time of Special Order to celebrate her life and her service. And so if you would like to be part of that celebration, if you would please contact my office. Tillie was a remarkable woman. She was a rare combination of passionate drive and dedication coupled with just a warm and caring feeling for all the people around her, and she will be missed by not only her family, but her friends in this Chamber, by the people of Florida, as well as the people of this Nation whom she so proudly served. So I am sure you all join as we send our thoughts and prayers to her husband Buck, and her two daughters in this difficult time.

Mr. CRENSHAW

Mr. CRENSHAW. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding me this time. I join my colleague as an original cosponsor of this resolution in urging my colleagues to support this. It is fitting that this new Federal courthouse, which stands 15 stories tall in my hometown of Jacksonville, Florida, and casts such a shadow over our city, it is fitting that it is going to be named after Judge Bryan Simpson who, while he served for 50 years in our community, was a giant of a man who cast his own shadow all across our community. My colleagues have heard a little bit about his background and some of his professional career, but I had the good fortune of knowing Judge Simpson. I had the good fortune of being a friend of his son, Bryan Simpson, Jr. My dad and Judge Simpson practiced law together as young lawyers in Jacksonville, and the one thing about Judge Simpson is that as the father of Bryan Simpson, Jr., and he had five stepchildren, Joe, Tim, John, Eve, and Franklin, above all, he had this underlying belief in the dignity of every human being, and he lived out that belief in everything that he did. Maybe that came from the life experiences that he had growing up in a little town in central Florida. His mother was the U.S. Postmistress of the U.S. Post Office there in Kissimmee. He went to Osceola High School and then went north to school to Gainesville, Florida, about 50 miles up the road. Often he would hitchhike, catch a ride up to Gainesville, and he would stop in a little town called Orlando and have lunch because there was a park there where people would kind of gather, and he would always find a friend there and share lunch together. He finished school in 6 years. He got an undergraduate degree and a law degree. It usually takes 7 years, but Judge Simpson was part of a special program. He finished in 6 years, which was good for him, because he worked his way through law school, and it only took 6 instead of 7 years. He often waited tables at a little place called the Primrose Grill. Then he moved to Jacksonville, Florida, to start his law practice. He worked in a firm where my dad also worked as a young lawyer, and he always was a man of great humor. As a young lawyer, my dad used to tell me that he made about $40 a month. Judge Simpson was a little older, so he might have made $45 a month, but on one of his applications, it said, List your hobbies and your interests. And Judge Simpson wrote, Polo and international yacht racing. So when one of his senior partners came in and was a little upset and said, What is all this; what does this mean? Judge Simpson said, I am interested in polo and international yacht racing, but on my present salary, I am not really able to participate in those activities. But be that as it may, he continued his career. He wanted to be a judge, so he ran for judge. In those days you could be a State judge by running for office. He had two uncles that had served in the United States Senate. He knew a little bit about politics, so he ran for office and became a State judge. Then, World War II came along, so he went to Europe to serve his country. His job there was to go around after the battles took place, his job was to go into communities and try to rebuild the government. And he used to kid people that his limited French was learned in World War II. He could say, ``Ou est la maire?'' which meant, ``Where is the mayor?'' Because that is the first thing he would do when he got to the community, find out who the old mayor was and try to build this new government. He came back from the war, back to Jacksonville, continued his work as a State judge and then, as has been pointed out, was appointed to the Federal bench by then-President Harry Truman. Fifteen years later, then-President Lyndon Johnson appointed him to the appeals court, which is one step down from the United States Supreme Court, and he served as the Chief Judge on the Fifth and the Eleventh Circuit. So he had kind of a broad-ranging career, up until the time he went to Federal court. And as has been pointed out, he was a real leader in stepping forward, being fair, being compassionate in a difficult time in our Nation's history when not all of the judges, particularly in the South, were fair and compassionate. In fact, it was kind of the way, in those days, for Federal judges who did not believe in what was going on in the civil rights movement to simply delay their decisions and just delay and delay and delay. Judge Simpson was known not only as a man of courage and conviction, but someone who made his rulings firmly and decisively and quickly. So I think it is fitting that we honor him today. As I said, he lived his life in a way that brought dignity to all the people in his courtroom. I think he certainly deserves this kind of recognition, and I am proud to support this resolution, and I urge my colleagues to do so as well.
