Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume, for the purpose of closing. Mr. Speaker, it is an outrage that, after all these years, there still hasn't been justice for the AMIA bombing victims and their families. This resolution today is a message to the Argentine Jewish community, and to marginalized, victimized communities around the world, that the United States will not forget them and will continue to push for justice. I am glad my colleague mentioned the prosecutor, Alberto Nisman, because what happened to him, to be murdered a day before he was to present his work, is absolutely a disgrace. Some in the government even tried to say that it was a suicide, but we know it was not. I hope that we get to the bottom of the truth and that Mr. Nisman is honored, which he should be. It is just an absolute disgrace that he was murdered. Again, I thank Mr. Deutch for authorizing this important resolution. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting it, and I yield back the balance of my time
