U.S. policy has long maintained that direct bilateral negotiations are the only path to peace in the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Today, this offensive against Israel is unparalleled in its intensity and absurdity on the international stage.

I have known the new Secretary-General for quite some time now and I know that he would agree that we can and must do better.

Too many countries see the United Nations for what it is supposed to be--not for what it truly is--unwilling to come to the hard realization that we need to take a drastic new approach if we are to salvage the mission of the United Nations.

This is why I intend on reintroducing legislation that would address the need for reforms at the United Nations because it is clear that engagement with the U.N. over the past several years has only served to legitimize its anti-Israel…

I think many of us could agree that it makes sense to have a uniform definition of refugee, and that all refugees should be under the auspices of a single agency.

The textbooks and all of the other anti-Semitic activity that occurs there has to stop; $359 million is just far too much without getting a commensurate tolerance policy out of that organization.

I thank the gentleman so much for his leadership. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Franks).

I thank the gentleman so very much for his kind remarks, but also his very eloquent concern for post-abortive women and those who may be contemplating abortion. You know, the Pregnancy Care Network, 4,000 strong throughout the United…

I appreciate the gentleman from Iowa's leadership, which has been over many decades. I want to thank him for his eloquence and his steadfastness. The day will come when the unborn are protected, and he will be a major part of that. I would…

I thank the gentleman from Michigan for his eloquence, for his commitment, his passion, and for that steadfastness that will one day yield the result when the unborn are protected in our laws against the violence of abortion. I thank the…

I thank the gentleman from Arizona for his leadership in the legislature before. As the gentleman so aptly pointed out, the numbers of abortion come down when even modest restrictions are passed. The law is a great teacher. We are so happy…

I want to thank the distinguished chairwoman of the Education and the Workforce Committee for her kind remarks and again thank her for her leadership for so many years. I now yield to the gentleman from Arizona, Congressman Andy Biggs…

I thank my good friend for his remarks. I now yield to the distinguished gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. Foxx), the chairwoman of the Education and the Workforce Committee, who has been outspoken for years on behalf of the innocent…

I thank my friend for yielding. Madam Speaker, my distinguished colleague said ``prove it'' about the 2 million. Well, there is a very extensive study done by Michael J. New. The Review of Literature done in June of 2009 by the Guttmacher…

I want to first thank the distinguished gentlewoman, my good friend Diane Black, for her extraordinary leadership. I also want to say to my colleagues--and I hope this really is accepted for the profound change that it underscores--the…

I will just remind Members that, in order to gain votes of several pro-life Democrats needed for passage of the Affordable Care Act, President Obama issued an executive order on March 24, 2010, and it said: The Affordable Care Act…

I thank the distinguished gentlewoman for yielding, and I want to thank her for her leadership, for being one of the prime cosponsors of the bill, H.R. 7, along with Mrs. Black, Ms. Foxx, Mrs. Wagner, Mrs. Blackburn, Mrs. Noem, Mrs…

It is vague, as Chairman Royce has so eloquently said, and it also, I think, could have a chilling effect.

If this were being offered and Hillary Clinton was the President of the United States, I can tell you my opposition to it would be just as strong.

I would not vote for this if this were going to lodge against a Hillary Clinton administration or Barack Obama's administration.

I especially appreciate Mr. Perlmutter's efforts to move this legislation forward.

I urge my colleagues to support it.

With gratitude for Molly Fromm's skills and with excitement for her next step

That's as good as it gets.
