Number one, they can be segregated in Federal prisons in the United States, and maybe they should be. Number two, some of them are indeed great terrorists and some aren't. Number three, they may have been captured in war zones, but they…

This amendment is another amendment in a series we have seen today to prevent any movement toward closing the Guantanamo Bay facility, obviously, and it would prevent the expenditure for any officials who are trying to do that. A number of…

I claim the time in opposition to the gentleman's amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from New York is recognized for 5 minutes.

This amendment would prohibit the Department of Defense from even reviewing locations in the U.S. to hold Guantanamo detainees. It would obviously make it much more difficult to close the prison, which is obviously its purpose, which…

I have spoken on this floor many, many times against amendments--so far, futilely--against amendments to bar the transfer of prisoners from Guantanamo or to prohibit the expenditure of funds to move them here or anywhere else. This…

I have long supported the Iron Dome weapons system to defend Israel from short-range missile attacks. I voted to authorize the United States to assist Israel in procuring the weapons. I voted for massive increases in funding for the Iron…

The bill we are considering today represents the culmination of over 2 years of negotiations with various stakeholders and has strong bipartisan support, with 164 cosponsors in the House and 65 in the Senate. This is good legislation that…

It seems to me very questionable why you would have... one body can issue decrees... that flout the normal equitable considerations.

I appreciate his enlightenment of the district attorney's views of this dilemma that we all face.

We're all certainly very condemning of the terrorist attack in San Bernardino, and we all--our hearts go out to the families and victims of that.

Thank you. Since we've gone a little far afield here, let me do so again very briefly to point out that, among others, Thomas Jefferson, who, among his minor accomplishments, was the Founder of the Democratic Party, was also a graduate of…

Right now, the largest construction project in the United States is in my district.

EB-5 funding has been essential to financing important public-private projects in my district.

The EB-5 program has been a tremendous job creator and economic development tool throughout the country.

Do I have 1 minute remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from New York has 1 minute remaining.
