This week, the world laid to rest in the Egyptian desert a holy and wise spiritual giant, Pope Shenouda III, the 117th Pope of Alexandria and the patriarch of all Africa of the Coptic Orthodox Church. He passed on March 17. His Holiness…

I have a little difficulty with the amount of money being requested in this budget.

First, I join with my female colleagues in supporting full health coverage for every single woman in our Nation. I also rise to condemn the actions of Syria's Assad government, which are truly appalling. America and this House should not…
