Brad Sherman

I want to thank the administration for recognizing the importance of the sanctions bills that Congress has passed.

We thank the House for its support and are pleased to see that similar legislation has been introduced in the Senate.

NAFCU applauds Reps. Peter King and Brad Sherman for introducing bipartisan legislation, the Capital Access for Small Businesses and Jobs Act (H.R. 719)...

I am concerned that successive administrations have not taken steps to return the land expropriated from Hindus under the law.

We have fewer than 200, we need 17,500. I yield back.

What have we done to make it clear to Maliki that he has to put back the T-WALLs and provide the defense or will he keep the people there subject to attack and then disclaim any responsibility when they are, in fact, attacked?

Now I would like to join with Mr. Wilson and others in focusing on Camp Liberty.

Please get me information on that.

But it is still well over $1 billion?

The State Department has issued a statement saying, well, the Iraqi Government had nothing to do with it, which to me is an incredible indictment.

So if something is working, why would you do less?

Those sanctions, at least tougher than we had before, brought Iran this far. They are clearly better now than they were 6 months ago.

If you don't escalate sanctions through the passage of that Senate bill, then greed will override fear.

Our sanctions program for the last 3 years is one of the very few things that our Federal Government is doing that works.

I want to commend the State Department for classifying both Boko Haram and Ansaru as terrorist organizations.

If a terrorist attack occurs on U.S. soil, that will be regarded as a failure of American antiterrorism policy.

We will be as generous as Monty Hall.

If the event occurs Congress is going to pass the supplemental appropriations bill.

This House passed 402-22 just last month a bill that would create a special envoy to promote religious freedom of religious minorities in the Near East and South Asia.

The impression has been left, and I think Ileana Ros-Lehtinen made this, that we didn't criticize Morsi's departure from democracy but we are criticizing Morsi's departure.

Morsi was elected but he was elected in a way that gives credence to the view that when you elect the Brotherhood or similar organizations you get one person one vote one time and that is the last free election in that society.

It's clear that the new government in Egypt is better for the United States as a nation state, more consistent in its policies in the Middle East with regard to national security.

The Pakistanis are hated in Afghanistan by all sides to a remarkable degree

I would hope that if Congress wants to bring its approval rate above its current levels that we would instead authorize you to continue your program for high-cost areas.

I don't think the FHA is on that list, but I know Congress is.
