“I thank the ranking member and my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for their passionate advocacy on behalf of this important issue. Listening to my colleague, Gregory Meeks, I will remind everyone, as he heads toward the back of the Chamber, I represent the greatest congressional district in New York, the First Congressional District of New York. We as New Yorkers, but really all of us in this Chamber as Americans, Republicans and Democrats, have worked together and need to continue to work together. Ranking Member McHenry has had a great open door for Republicans, to hear our feedback and concerns on this important issue, to make sure there is not a lapse. Mr. Speaker, I am rising in support of H.R. 4634, the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2019, which builds on our continued efforts to keep our promise to the victims of terrorism through the Never Forget the Heroes Act, which was signed into law earlier this year. The U.S. continues to face one of the most challenging threat environments, and terrorists will try to find any way to instill fear and destroy the American values and way of life that we hold dear, love, and cherish. For the terrorists, their efforts include destabilizing our financial markets and economy. We must combat terrorism through every means possible.…”
