Ed Royce

I would explain to my colleagues at the outset that I, frankly, think we should voice vote this amendment without objection. I think it is misguided to oppose it because this amendment is not part of this fight over Ex-Im. What this fight…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 1032, after line 4, insert the following: SEC. ___. PROHIBITION ON AID TO STATE-SPONSORS OF TERRORISM…

I thank Congresswoman Karen Bass in particular.

I just want to recognize Mr. Engel's commitment to conservation on this planet and to his work on this legislation as well. I yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Poe), chairman of the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Terrorism…

Part of the tragedy of this can be seen in what happened in Garissa National Park in Africa. The jihadists hit that park in order to take those tusks, in order to get that hard currency and trade those tusks for weapons and for bullets…

Israel has the right to defend itself and its people, plain and simple, and we know what the Israelis are up against.

If you take away that flexibility, you will take away the capacity of these housing authorities to do as much as they can do with respect to their properties and their tenants.

House Res. 293 reflects many of the concerns we have discussed this morning, an escalation of violence against Israelis...

These attacks, mainly stabbings, have been driven by a deliberately misleading message.

Chairman Royce and I are circulating a letter to President Abbas imploring him to repudiate this wave of violence and to stop the PA's incitement of this brutality.

This is terrorism at its core when anyone who steps outside could be next.

The best option for stopping these attacks would be for Palestinian leaders to demand an end to the violence and bring those responsible to justice.

We need to hold Abu Mazen and the PA accountable for their actions to date and let the PA know in no uncertain terms that it needs to stop fueling the violence and start working toward peace.

Terrorism is not the answer. And I support a two-state solution. But the Palestinians will never get their state on the backs of terrorism.

the Moving to Work program has largely been a success.

Sadly, those warnings fell on deaf ears here on Capitol Hill.

Palestinian President Abbas regrettably has joined the hate speech.

It just seems that the balance is out of skew given what is at stake and given the magnitude of the human rights abuses.

Many are looking at Burma's upcoming elections to gauge the progress in that troubled country. But a better yardstick in my view is the country's abhorrent treatment of the minority Rohingya Muslims, probably the most persecuted minority…

For over three decades now, the Government of Burma has systematically denied the Rohingya even the most basic of human rights.

I want to thank Representative Cicilline for introducing this resolution and for his commitment to the people of Ukraine.

Before I close, Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Poe), the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade.

May I inquire as to how much time is remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from California has 2\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from New York has 17\1/2\ minutes remaining.

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, consider the case of Anne Dammarell, a USAID worker who was posted in the U.S. Embassy in Beirut in 1983. At 1 p.m. on April 18, a suicide bomber in a delivery van drove 2,000 pounds…

The administration is arguing, Mr. Speaker, that although the Iranian regime has access to over $20 billion and that this judgment is $43 billion, there isn't enough money there to make payment. In addition to the 20-some billion, Iran is…
