Seite 144 - Such motion shall be made before the trial, hearing, or proceeding unless there was no opportunity to make such motion or the person was not aware of the grounds of the motion.
Seite 4 - Dear Mr. Chairman : Pursuant to Section 403 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the Congressional Budget Office has prepared the attached cost estimate for HR 1100, the Prisoner of War Health-Care Benefits Act of 1981.
Seite 118 - If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this ; you must first enable the government to control the governed ; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.
