Well, thank you, Mr. Chairman. I believe I will.

Not only does this bill create a major hurdle for families already facing the insurmountable fight against asbestos-related disease, it also violates their privacy by publicizing sensitive information about claimants.

Just since President Obama started these secret negotiations with the Castro regime, since June 2013, there have been reportedly 15,000 political arrests.

Cuba has increased the number of politically motivated arrests by 70 percent.

Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as she may consume to the distinguished gentlelady from Indiana (Mrs. Brooks), the former chairman of the Subcommittee on Emergency Preparedness, Response, and Communications.
