“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I thank my good friend, Mr. Deutch, for his eloquent proposals time and time again in our committee, on the House floor, and in every public gathering on behalf of Bob Levinson's family. I am sure that the Levinson family feels a great sense of relief that they have such a tireless advocate by their side. I hope that the administration continues to press the Iranian regime to do more to assist with the Bob Levinson case, and it needs to continue to raise the issue with the Iranian regime at the highest level and at every opportunity. As Mr. Deutch pointed out, the community in south Florida will be rallying in support of Bob and his family this coming Saturday, March 5. It will be held at the Center for the Arts in Coral Springs at 2 in the afternoon. What a powerful message it would send to the family were the House to adopt this resolution without dissent. It will also send a strong message to the Iranian regime that we will not relent until Bob is home with his family and Iran has honored its commitments and its promises. I commend, again, my good friend and south Florida colleague, Ted Deutch, for authoring this resolution, and I am honored to be his Republican lead. I have worked alongside Mr. Deutch for so many years in support of Bob and his family. Bob, a south Florida resident, as you heard, is a constituent of Mr. Deutch's district.…”
