Nita Lowey: “I am pleased to yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Carolyn B. Maloney), chairwoman of the Committee…”

We cannot allow a return to a familiar and unstable status quo which repeatedly increases violence and animosity while rendering a final resolution of the conflict impossible.

I am delighted to yield 1 minute to the gentlemen from Illinois (Mr. Garcia).

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

I am very pleased to yield 5 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Pallone), the chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, a member of my class in the Congress.
