Nita Lowey: “I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Waters), the dynamic chairwoman of the Committee…”

I urge this Subcommittee to continue its longstanding support for critical people-to-people and peacebuilding programming.

It is my honor, on behalf of the New York Congressional delegation, as the co-dean along with Chairman Eliot Engel, to welcome our newest member, Chris Jacobs. Or perhaps I should say welcome him back, since Mr. Jacobs began his career…

I claim time in opposition to the gentleman's amendment. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from New York is recognized for 5 minutes.

I am delighted to yield 1 minute to the distinguished gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi), the Speaker of the House.
