Thank you, Representative Deutch. You are not just a friend but a great colleague. Before she leaves the Chamber, I just want to associate myself with Congresswoman Berkley's remarks. The gentlewoman from Nevada has been a stalwart for the…

Given the grave importance of this issue and literally millions of lives at stake, I extend to the Vice President an open invitation to testify at a hearing at his convenience.

we have a duty, I believe, to raise human rights with dictatorship and not lose that opportunity.

Mr. Deutch, thank you for putting together this Special Order this evening. As you all know, the Palestinian Authority has stated that it will submit, or it's intending to submit, to the U.N. Secretary General Ban ki-Moon a resolution…

Not a word about any of this. Secretary Clinton said she didn't know; she refused to answer the question, but would get back to us.

how could you delink human rights and throw the people of China, who aspire to freedom and democracy and human rights, under the bus?

You are absolutely correct, Mr. Deutch, and the visions of those scared mothers talking to us in their community by the bus stop, a shelter that has to be reinforced by concrete so that they can somewhat protect their children on the way…

I see great acceptance of the standards in California. The product is more nutritious, and I am a huge fan of increased standards.

the MILC Program is a prime example of government programs that pick between winners and losers, in my opinion.

Producing our own food is vital to our national security. It is imperative that we protect our domestic food production industry, especially the dairy industry.

It is also essential that this Congress enact dairy policy reforms that lift up the industry and lay the foundation for the future of dairy production.

Mr. Chairman, I will tell you simply that the HUD programs have not worked for the central valley of California. The foreclosure programs by HUD have not worked for the United States people. Many of us in Congress warned the administration…

I will just ask my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to join me in sending a strong message to the Department of Housing and Urban Development that the foreclosure programs they have put in place have not worked for America. They need…
