It is time for us to do justice for these people.

the purpose of this bill is to allow survivors and heirs who believe that they may have claims against European insurers because of unpaid policies from the Holocaust to sue those insurers in U.S. courts.

this is pretty typical of most of our launch contracts.

And I bring that attention to that subject because many people have missed that very good piece of news of what is happening on board the Space Station where six humans are right now.
