In the spirit that Mr. Meeks articulated there, we Americans who cherish religious liberty and all people of goodwill who value the rights of conscience cannot remain silent in the face of this rising regional intolerance. I think, as he put it, and as Mr. Wolf and Ms. Anna Eshoo put so eloquently, I think it is time to bring about this Special Envoy to deploy in the Middle East. I thank Mr. Wolf for his leadership and certainly urge passage of H.R. 301. I yield back the balance of my time.
