Gregory Meeks

Indeed, my Congressman, Gregory Meeks, a Democrat said putting a tent city in FBF was a terrible idea, even inhumane.

The migrant camp would not happen because housing on a national park is against the law.

Putting a tent city in Floyd Bennett Field was a terrible idea, perhaps even inhumane.

I have no further speakers. I yield myself the balance of my time to close. I think it is important for me to say, Mr. Speaker, at the outset that I really do appreciate the efforts that were made to make this legislation bipartisan…

Let me just say this really quickly. One of the speakers before him said Democrats and terrorists are against Israel. That just shows how political this is. Democrats and Republicans have always been with Israel. To try and distort it and…

To correct the record, President Biden never said, as I hear my colleagues saying, that he is suspending all weapons to Israel. He said specifically the 2,000-pound bombs that cause death to innocent Palestinians are the only things that…

The consolidation of the banking industry is very concerning to me. Community and regional banks play an essential role in a district like mine.

I generally believe that bank mergers should be assessed on the merits, particularly the individual application put forth.

The Treasury opposes this amendment because they believe the reporting time is so short, and the requirements are so onerous. They believe it is so onerous that they will have to pull people away from doing the important work on finding…

I think everyone has heard by now how important diplomacy is. I think that we should show it in our budget. I am a firm believer in diplomacy. The fact of the matter, the direct quote from General Mattis was: ``If you don't fund the State…

I am prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Carter), the chairman of the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Environment, Manufacturing, and…

The 10-word slogan ``from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free'' means different things to different people. For many well-meaning supporters of the Palestinian cause, it is a slogan calling for future Palestinian statehood and…

Once again, it is overdue for the EU to designate the IRGC as a terrorist entity. They are nothing but that. By shutting the IRGC out of both the American and European markets, we will be starving them of important resources of funding…

The United States designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or the IRGC, as a foreign terrorist organization, an FTO, in April 2019 because of its record of terrorism, violation of the laws of armed conflict, assassination…

And I rise in strong support of H.R. 6603. This past weekend, Mr. Speaker, Iran launched more than 350 drones and ballistic missiles toward our ally Israel, an attack largely thwarted by the Israeli Defense Forces, alongside American…

I sponsored and introduced a bipartisan bill called the Countering Economic Coercion Act of 2023 to support our partners that are victims of the PRC and economic coercion.

The Biden Administration's Indo-Pacific economic framework is critical for keeping America engaged economically.

Republican budget cuts will only tie our hands, undermine our ability to compete with China.

The world must view the United States as a credible partner of choice.

That's not leading. That's not competing.

We do have one party that campaigns on a smaller government. We are not doing so well.

I think it is great that we are having this hearing, and it is important that we address just the growth of government.

At this time, I am pleased to offer this bipartisan amendment with my friend from Missouri (Mrs. Wagner) along with the support of my colleagues Mr. Scott and Mr. Nickel. This amendment would provide opportunities for enhanced exposure to…

For the purpose of closing. With growing instability in the Indo-Pacific and freedom under threat globally, the Quad is more important than ever for upholding regional rules and helping maintain stability. Regional rules, high values, and…

A 20-year war deserved comprehensive and bipartisan oversight.
