opponents of the Homeowners' Defense Act suggest we should not get caught up in the emotion of the moment. But, Mr. Chairman, our Nation is suffering from a property insurance crisis that desperately demands Federal action. Millions of…

Thank you, Mr. Lantos. Mr. Speaker, President Bush stubbornly refuses to end the war in Iraq. It is up to Congress to step forward and mandate that our troops return home. Congress must deliver to the American people what they voted for in…
