Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Our colleagues have been very eloquent this afternoon, and I agree with everything that has been said here, along with what the chairman has said. Mr. Speaker, every year we lose more and more of those who lived through the Holocaust, and it is unthinkable that many spend their last days in poverty with no support network. Nobody wants that. With this resolution, we are simply saying that this should not be the case. We are saying that these survivors should never go without assistance and resources and that it is time for the Government of Germany to work with its partners and correct this problem. So for all the reasons that were mentioned, I support this measure. I urge my colleagues to do the same. I yield back the balance of my time.”
