Thank you very much Representative Garamendi for a powerful statement that will be made a part of the record.

Thank you so much, Mr. Deutch, and thank you for your leadership role.

We shouldn't just focus on the Jewish victims of the World War II era but all those whose families were destroyed and whose insurance was never known about and never paid.

Well, any secrets that I have about my insurance policies I give to the world when I hit age 150.

Why should Holocaust victims, why should victims of the Armenian genocide, why should the Roma victims of the Nazis not get this same benefit of a list?

The fact that companies would continue to hold the money knowing that the insured have probably died over 50 or 60 years ago raises the question is this the kind of company that American consumers should be allowed to do business with.

I will be calling you. One of the things that is brought to my attention is The Washington Post today indicated that Chevron has halted drilling off the coast of Brazil because of an underwater oil leak.

should we not be looking at incentives then to shorten these lease times and to move the production forward quickly?

But in response to my question, wouldn't it be to the oil companies' benefit to speed up their completion of these steps if they wanted to begin producing more quickly?

I thank my good friend from New Jersey for the time. I rise in strong support of this Coast Guard reauthorization bill that is being considered on the floor today. I have the unique pleasure of representing over 265 miles of pristine…

I would like to support the bill which, again, a hearing was taking place yesterday for H.R. 2121, the China Democracy Promotion Act.
