The responsibility of Congress to make adjustments, the leadership of Congress, the role that Congress plays...

Congress needs to weigh in and make these decisions and make it the law of the land. I mean, that is our responsibility.

ECPA was written to protect privacy of individuals. That is the purpose of the law, why it was written.

I just want to urge you to continue to press with the utmost, the greatest sense of commitment and urgency to bring Bob home to his family.

I want to commend Mr. Castro and Mr. McCaul for the Global Development Lab Act and the innovation developed by that Lab which will be enhanced and expanded.

Bob must come home now.

Many of you have heard me speak of my constituent, Bob Levinson, many times over the past 6 years.

When you run for public office, you get to meet amazing people passionate about politics at every level. But the best ones, the ones who inspire you, are the ones who remind you why you got involved in the first place: to help others…

I hope that it's not going to be a broader reversal of what has been U.S. policy, to not recognize any interest in confiscated property.

Shouldn't we clearly bar the recognition of any sort if the mark was used--if the mark that's used was used in connection with a confiscated business and the original owner hasn't consented?

there's been broad recognition, widely discussed, that confiscated and disputed property claims have to be resolved, and I absolutely agree with that.

We have got to keep talking about this case.

Bob dedicated his life to serving this country, spending 28 years with the FBI and earlier with the DEA.

I just would encourage Members of Congress to consider the broader game here, which is the pursuit of the claims of U.S. nationals, worth in the billions of dollars, against a government that will not necessarily go easily into recognizing…

Your family deserves to feel the same elation and relief as the families of those other Americans who were released.

I want to thank the many members of the subcommittee who have co-sponsored this resolution.

The United States does not forget about its own people.

I don't understand it, and if we are going to talk about reckless endangerment that is something that this Congress ought to be doing.

I just can't emphasize strongly enough how important it is for us, for the American people, and for you specifically to be unrelenting in your efforts to bring Bob home.

it is impossible for me to understand how after this entire hearing that single step that is logical that has the overwhelming support of the American people has yet to be done.

I thank my friend, the ranking member, Mr. Engel, for his leadership today. I deeply appreciate the bipartisan way that he and Chairman Royce have run our committee when it comes to the goal that we all share of preventing Iran from…

I thank my friend. We should be looking for bipartisan ways to ensure that it is enforced with vigor and with the most stringent verification and compliance. If a violation occurs or if Iran continues to engage in illegal activities that…

I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Line 6 on the first page, strike ``No'' and insert ``Except as provided in subsection (c), no''. After line 18 on…

We know the intentions behind the bill before us today, H.R. 1927, the so-called Fairness in Class Action Litigation Act. The goal of this bill isn't to protect consumers. The goal of this bill is to wipe out class action lawsuits and to…

I demand a recorded vote. The CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Florida will be postponed. Amendment No. 5 Offered by Ms. Moore The CHAIR. It is now in order to…
