Eliot Engel actually said...

"It is a tragedy and it is an emergency."

"I know and hear regularly from my constituents who complain about poor cable service, high bills and being forced to pay for bundled programming that they don't really want."

"We need to update our Government's policies to prevent violence and I ask all members to join me in supporting the bill."

"Global levels of violence are at a 25-year peak, and when a region faces violence the effects are felt far and wide."
