Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

the best thing we can do right now is to maintain our leading voice at the institution, the IMF, that is going to be at the heart of the assistance effort.

I am a firm believer in multilateralism in a multilateral way and I think it is vitally important for the United States to do that.

Mr. Speaker, let me first thank Ranking Member Waters and my good friend, Michael Grimm, for working collectively to make this bill happen. You see, it was just 17 months ago that residents in my congressional district, the Fifth…

I come here deeply concerned about what is taking place in Venezuela.

We have an obligation, I do believe, when we see people dying in the streets simply because they want to express themselves.

I want to thank Ranking Member Engel who has consistently and constantly been working very hard to work in a bipartisan manner.

I also think of my good friend who is looking down from heaven, Donald Payne, who had worked so hard and so tremendously for a long period of time on working on Africa.

Karen Bass, who in her vision, says that we are going to work and she was going to work just as hard as Donald did.
