Nita Lowey: “I have been in this Congress and on this Committee for a long time, and sometimes I feel like a broken record on this…”

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 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.

I am delighted to yield 5 minutes to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Waters), the chair of the Committee on Financial Services.

We must address this situation head-on.
