Thank you for your powerful words, Congressman Duffy. The report that you mentioned is right here. Again, it is a 280- page report submitted to the State Department just recently. The cover shows that moment where these Coptic Christians from Egypt, who are guilty only of the crime of going to Libya to try to work and earn enough money to sustain their families, were captured by ISIS and then beheaded. This report lays out the facts. It is not the opinion of the House of Representatives. It is not my opinion or yours. The fact is that this is a genocide. I am grateful not only to the Knights of Columbus and the organization called In Defense of Christians for producing this, but it basically is a thorough documentation of what has happened that adds further credibility to what we already know and so many people around the world have called genocide. Thank you very much. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Tennessee (Mrs. Black), my good friend. Thank you for being here tonight.
