Raising a question of the privileges of the House. 
Whereas United States soldiers and personnel in Iraq are 
fighting to protect innocent Americans from being at-

Whereas on October 18, 2007, in debate on H.R. 976, Chil-
dren’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act, 
the Member from California, Mr. Stark, stated: ‘‘You 
don’t have money to fund the war or children. But you’re

get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to

Whereas the Member from California, Mr. Stark, engaged in 
personally abusive language toward the President and 
Members of the House, including the use of language

Whereas the Member from California, Mr. Stark, dishonors 
not only the Commander-in-Chief, but the thousands of 
courageous men and women of America’s Armed Forces 
who believe in their mission and are putting their lives 
on the line for our freedom and security; and 
Whereas the Member from California, Mr. Stark, has failed 
to retract his statement and apologize to the Members of 
the House, our Commander-in-Chief, and the families of 
our soldiers and commanders fighting terror overseas: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the Member from California, Mr. 
Stark, by his despicable conduct, has dishonored himself 
and brought discredit to the House and merits the censure 
of the House for the same. 
Resolved, That the Member from California, Mr.
