over the past decade, we have seen a horrifying increase in terrorist attacks around the world.
One of the worst terrorist attacks in the 1990s was the bombing of the AMIA Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The greatest gift we can give to their friends and family is to bring their killers to justice.
I can upon our own government and the Argentine government to do everything in their power to close this horrible chapter in our fight against terror.
the perpetrators of these terrorist attacks have not yet been brought to justice.
The absence of swift and sure justice for the terrorists who carried out these attacks is a tragic mockery of the memory of those who lost their lives.
I join with the residents of Scarsdale in applauding Mr. Cederbaum's commitment to our community and I am proud to officially recognize this remarkable civic leader for his many years of service.
Mr. Cederbaum's commitment to a successful professional career has always been balanced with an unyielding dedication to voluntarism.
Today, I would like to recognize a resident of my district who, through nearly three decades of tireless community service, perfectly embodies the spirit of this award.
