The Public Record
Joseph Crowley is a former Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives, representing New York's 14th congressional district from 2013 until 2019. Prior to that, he served New York's 7th congressional district from 1999 to 2013. Crowley was known for his work on issues such as healthcare, education, and economic development.

I think we in New York have nothing but sympathy for what the people in Israel are going through, and we believe only the people of Israel can make the decisions about their own safety and the personal safety of their families. That is why…
I think more of that information needs to be told to the American people. I think they need to understand exactly what the size of the state of Israel is and the type of pressure that they have been under for the past 18 months. I think…
Last year Congress and the President agreed to fund UNPFA, the United Nations Population Fund, at $34 million. Now the administration has said they will not spend the funds appropriated by Congress in accordance with the bipartisan deal…
who are we kidding? We are not kidding the American people. They get this. They know that if we pass this substitute or any of 10 amendments by the majority, that, for all practical purposes, we will have killed Shays-Meehan and true…
As we celebrate Catholic School Week, I rise today to express my support for H. Res. 335, honoring the contributions of Catholic schools to our children and our country. For centuries Catholic schools have been a gift to the nation as well…
I stand up to say, enough is enough. I rise in strong support of this resolution, and I am proud to be a cosponsor. I commend the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Hyde), the chairman, and the gentleman from California (Mr. Lantos), our ranking…
I appreciate the good gentlewoman for placing into the record the fact that the Mayor of the city of New York and the Governor said we do not need the money right now. Maybe the gentlewoman can explain to us why it is, then, that the city…
On September 11, a dagger was struck into the heart of the city of New York that has left a gaping wound for the last 2 months. That wound has not healed; has not even been bandaged. It is bleeding. New York City is still bleeding today…
there are certain days whose importance in American history enable every American to know their importance by heart. July 4 and June 6 are days of heroism commemorating the bravery of our Founding Fathers and declaring their independence…
less than a week after the September 11 attack on America, this Congress passed a bailout package bill for the airline industry overwhelmingly, despite objections from this side of the aisle. We were told to have faith in the leadership of…
I rise today to speak with a very heavy heart and a tightened throat. Our Nation has suffered a terrible blow. Yesterday, I, along with my colleague, the gentleman from New York (Mr. Weiner), as mentioned before, visited the epicenter, or…
I want to rise in strong and full support of the Victims' Tax Relief Act of 2001. This is just, I think, the beginning of what we are going to have to do to help to provide for many of the victims of this terrible tragedy. In first blush…
yesterday, September 11, 2001, the most horrific terrorist attack in the history of the world was perpetrated against the people of the United States of America. Some have compared this attack to Pearl Harbor, but I do not. While Pearl…
I rise as a co-sponsor of H.R. 2603, the United States-Jordan Free-Trade Agreement. This legislation, as approved, would implement H.Doc. 107-15 as it was submitted to Congress on January 6, 2001 by former President Clinton, and would make…
The Crowley-Royce-McDermott amendment seeks to provide sorely needed funds to the U.S. Agency for International Development Office of Foreign Disaster Relief, the Kathmandu office, so that it may work with the governments and communities…
I rise today in firm support of the transportation appropriations bill for fiscal year 2002. I would like to commend Chairman Rogers and Mr. Sabo for crafting a bill that addresses the unique transportation needs in this country. Though…
I am greatly dismayed to see that desperately needed earthquake assistance to both India and El Salvador are missing from this supplemental appropriations bill. We have shortchanged the many men, women and children who lost their homes…
I rise in strong support, in favor of the Investor and Capital Markets Fees Relief Act. These SEC charges are user fees and not taxes, and they currently bring in almost six times more than are needed to operate the SEC. It is fair to…
I rise in firm support of the amendment introduced by the gentleman from California (Mr. Lantos). One year ago, the Israeli government put its own security at risk in the name of cooperation and reconciliation. Israel unilaterally withdrew…
Mr. Chairman, I rise in firm opposition to the amendment offered by the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Tancredo). When the United States withdrew from UNESCO in 1984, I believe we did so for the right reasons. Mismanagement and corruption…
Seventy-five years ago, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, a noted African American historian and scholar, founded Negro History Week. He wanted to create an occasion for African Americans to remember, honor and celebrate the accomplishments and…
today I rise opposed to the Commerce- Justice-State conference report. I am opposed to this conference report because it fails to include the Latino and Immigrant Fairness Act, also known as LIFA. I am greatly disappointed that the…
Mr. Speaker, the devolution of power from Westminster to Belfast and its related components have been difficult endeavors for all parties involved. The terms of the negotiations demand sacrifices by loyalists and nationalists alike in…
Mr. Speaker, the people of Serbia have spoken. They want change for their country and for their people. Our patience has certainly paid off. We have waited a long time for this. Mr. Milosevic has declared war over and over again against…
I could not think it more apt that we Democrats begin our special order on prescription drugs just after hearing the Republicans finish their remarks on the very same subject of prescription drugs. I was most interested to listen to the…
Politicians like Joe Crowley
