The greatest gift we can give to their friends and family is to bring their killers to justice.

over the past decade, we have seen a horrifying increase in terrorist attacks around the world.

One of the worst terrorist attacks in the 1990s was the bombing of the AMIA Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

I rise today to honor the memory of the victims of the AMIA bombing; to pay tribute to the families of those victims, who have carried on with tremendous strength and courage; and to join them in their call for justice.

I can upon our own government and the Argentine government to do everything in their power to close this horrible chapter in our fight against terror.

the perpetrators of these terrorist attacks have not yet been brought to justice.

The absence of swift and sure justice for the terrorists who carried out these attacks is a tragic mockery of the memory of those who lost their lives.

A terrorist attack anywhere in the world is a threat to all of us.

By eliminating our nuclear weapons arsenal, the United States can realize an additional, 'peace dividend' from which to fund critical domestic initiatives, including new programs proposed in the Administration's FY 2000 budget.

These men gave selflessly of themselves in our Nation's most brutal war for the right to be recognized as civilized men.

I'm proud today to honor the memory of these soldiers, and recognize their accomplishments during the Civil War and to the future direction of our Nation.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate and remember the contributions of the 54th Massachusetts regiment.

On one hand, I am always eager to express my great appreciation for the significant impact my friend and colleague, the Honorable J.C. Watts, Jr., has had on the direction and legislation developed during his tenure on the Transportation…

Nearly 50 years ago, President Eisenhower recognized the need for a massive effort to build the infrastructure system of this great nation.

As a member of the Committee J.C. provided critical support to legislation that impacted his congressional district, the state of Oklahoma, and the nation.

I have assured my friend that, although he may have accepted a leave of absence from the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, he will continue to play a significant role on legislation impacting infrastructure issues.
