I thank Ranking Member Engel. I thank Ranking Member Engel and Chairman Royce for moving forward with this critical piece of legislation to reauthorize the Iran Sanctions Act, which I am proud to introduce with the gentlemen. By extending…
I appreciate, Director Comey, your confirming that the FBI would treat these potential violations of law both seriously and urgently.
I thank my friend, Mr. Engel. Mr. Chairman, the goal here tonight, I think, is to both simultaneously ensure that we don't take any action that would make it difficult for Americans to bring claims to the Iran-U.S. Claims Tribunal that…
I thank the chairman, and I thank my friend, the ranking member. I have to oppose the amendment of my friend from Kansas. I oppose the amendment not because of what my friend is trying to accomplish, but because of the way that we are…
I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted rollcall No. 524, ``nay.'' The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Fortenberry). The question is on the resolution. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that…
Is it illegal for a nonprofit group to make political gifts such as the Trump Foundation's $25,000 contribution to the Florida attorney general's reelection campaign?
Since 1976, Commissioner, every Democratic and Republican candidate for president--every one--has released his personal tax returns.
Releasing tax returns, as we have just been discussing, provides transparency.
The treatment that Baha'i receive in their own country is deplorable. It deserves to be condemned by all responsible nations.
I thank Ranking Member Engel for his support of this resolution and his outspoken and unwavering support for the U.S.-Israel relationship. I also thank Chairman Royce for his support of this as well. And to my friend and partner…
I thank my friends, Ranking Member Engel and Chairman Royce, for their efforts. A sincere thanks to my dear friend, Chairman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, for her partnership on this effort, her unyielding commitment to seeing that there is…
Through his writing, his work, and his life, Elie Wiesel helped the world know what transpired when Hitler tried to annihilate the Jews; and he lifted up the world in committing himself, and now all of us, to doing everything we can to…
It is my honor to yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Israel), my friend and the author of this resolution.
I just returned after a weekend in south Florida where people wanted to talk about two things: remembering 9/11 and wondering why Congress can't figure out how to find the necessary funding for Zika. This morning, Dr. Fauci of the NIH said…
When we left Washington 7 weeks ago, there were 311 Zika cases in Florida, and no local infections. Now there are over 600 cases, including 56 local infections, and the number of cases in pregnant women has doubled. Rather than meeting the…
I thank the gentleman. Madam Speaker, I thank my Republican colleagues for joining here on this vitally important issue. I rise to call for a vote on a Zika funding bill that is free of partisan hot button issues and that is free of…
I thank my friend for yielding. Mr. Speaker, this week we approach the 1-year anniversary of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the JCPOA, the agreement negotiated by the P5+1 countries over Iran's illicit pursuit of nuclear weapons…
I thank my friend. Mr. Speaker, we have to maintain immense pressure on the Iranian regime so long as it violates human rights, supports terrorism, and tests ballistic missiles; but failure by the United States to uphold the deal will only…
What will we tell American families when their child is born with microcephaly caused by the Zika virus? It is not a hypothetical question. Families in Puerto Rico are already answering it. Over 276 travel-related cases of Zika have been…
That can be done by anyone, regardless of whether it serves the interest of the United States or disservices them, and that is what I think is objectionable.
Thanks to you and Ranking Member Engel for, again, working in the spirit of bipartisanship.
Today marks 1 month since the worst mass shooting in our Nation's history. This week, we learned that the House majority will not bring a bill to the floor until after the 7-week recess that starts this week. The majority claims that it…
It's the same way we pay for shipping cargo in this country, and any retailer will tell you that it pays to ship in bulk.
No matter their crime, they deserve better than the way that these transport services are treating them.
This is a simple amendment. It strikes a highly partisan policy rider that would bar the SEC from requiring disclosure of political spending by corporations. Since the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United, we have seen an explosive…
