I thank the gentleman from California, and I rise today in strong support of House Resolution 568, a resolution making clear that the United States' policy towards Iran is not one of containment but is one of prevention. I'm pleased to…

In Congress, it's our job to help protect the American Dream. We have to remain the land of opportunity where anyone willing to work hard and stay focused can secure a brighter future. If Congress fails to act, 7 million college students…

When the doorbell rang at 5 a.m., Kimberly Metcalf of Boynton Beach, Florida, knew her worst fear had come true. Her only child, 22-year-old Michael Metcalf, U.S. Army private first class, died in Afghanistan on Sunday following an IED…

Today is Israel's independence day, Yom Ha'azmaut, and I recognize our great ally's many achievements over the past 64 years. Israel has endured against all odds, against border attacks, against deniers of a right to exist, against…

The winners are the American people. Tens of thousands of jobs and 10 to $20 billion of private sector investment, that is a winner for the American people.

Extending the production tax credit will continue this incredible progress and is vital to the industry's continued success.

If we were foolish enough to abandon this initiative, the great progress we have made towards a competitive wind market will come undone.

Wind means lower cost for consumers, new jobs in every field imaginable, enhanced national security, and a healthier environment.

The truth is the PTC has made it possible for wind energy to be relevant for communities all across the country, like the one I represent in South Florida.

Just the possibility of the expiration of this incentive is freezing projects and costing jobs.

The credit had made investments in domestic renewable energy production a cost effective venture.

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum time for any electronic vote on passage. The vote was taken by electronic…

This debate has revealed deep differences between the majority and minority when it comes to how to grow our economy. We object to how Leader Cantor's bill borrows $47 billion from China for tax cuts designed to benefit millionaires…

I am opposed. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Deutch moves to recommit the bill H.R. 9 to the Committee on Ways and Means with instructions to report the same back to…

Today I rise to recognize the White House's first-ever Rotary Day. Tomorrow, Americans from Rotary Clubs across the Nation will be honored as champions of change in their communities. Many of us in this House frequent Rotary Clubs…

As you begin work on the Fiscal Year 2012 Energy and Water Appropriations bill, we respectfully request you to include language with the Army Corps of Engineers enabling at-risk, multi-county regions impacted by rising sea levels to…

It's no surprise that I am disappointed with the content of this bill before us today. I join with my colleagues who have expressed their disappointment, but I'm also disappointed with the process behind it. Yesterday, for a totally bogus…

These companies should be bending over backwards to ensure that Holocaust survivors receive the funds they are owed.

This legislation is not asking anyone to bend over backward. It would simply enable Holocaust survivors to exercise the same right as all Americans seeking justice in our court system.

Let me set the record straight. Contributions to reparations agreements are not a substitute for addressing the breach of contract.

I applaud my colleagues for supporting this legislation on behalf of Congressman Lantos.

This bill is the last hope for Holocaust survivors to obtain justice.

Madam Chair, I have had to wait a while to speak, but I have not had to wait nearly as long as the Holocaust survivors have had to wait for justice.

For the survivors in Florida's 19th District and throughout the country, time is of the essence.

This bill is about justice, plain and simple. It is about giving survivors the opportunity to pursue justice for the wrongs of the past.
