I have always believed that if the United States stands for anything, we need to stand out loud and foursquare for human rights.

If people are traveling--the Chinese are traveling here; Americans want to and should be traveling to Tibet--and we should have a consulate.

Freedom House's latest freedom index ranked Tibet second least free place on the planet, slightly better than Syria but less free than North Korea.

And the show must go on.

I urge my colleagues to cosponsor this important legislation as well.

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I urge passage of my bill, H.R. 3893, which renames the post office in Interlachen, Florida, to honor a great American hero, Robert H. Jenkins, Jr. Robert H. Jenkins, Jr…

I would like to see it do double that amount.

We will not allow ourselves to be supplanted from the world stage.

They didn't do anything to build that sustainability, to help Thailand build--and that is a fundamental difference in how we engage in the world and how the Chinese engage in the world.

By losing those markets, it doesn't mean those jobs are coming back here.

I have to give a shout out to Mr. Engel, the ranking member.
