Reading the papers and listening to television news reports, however, one would have the sense that the only barrier to prosperity for Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza is Israeli intransigence.
Steve Chabot
The Public Record
Steve Chabot is a Republican politician from Ohio who served multiple terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. His first term began in 1995 and he served until 2001, returning to Congress in 2003 and remaining until 2021. During his time in office, Chabot was known for his focus on fiscal responsibility and social security issues, often advocating for budgetary restraint and the importance of maintaining a balanced federal budget. He has been a vocal supporter of conservative economic policies and has emphasized the need to control government spending.
For years, however, concerns have mounted about deep and widespread corruption within the Palestinian political establishment, including potential fraudulent use of U.S. financial assistance.
Since taking office, President Obama has repeatedly emphasized his belief that a resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of America's core interests in the Middle East.
I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act…
This Nation cannot continue spending money it doesn't have. It is imperative that Congress end the borrow-and- spend mentality that created our staggering national debt and that we put our Nation on a sustainable path to a balanced budget…
On June 13th, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, SCAF, reauthorized the use of military tribunals in cases involving Egyptian citizens.
On June 14th, the Supreme Constitutional Court ruled that one third of the Egyptian Parliament was elected illegally.
This prompted the SCAF to declare the entire Lower House of Parliament invalid.
Unfortunately, as the last year has illustrated far too well, freedom rarely marches steadily forward in a straight line.
I thank the gentlelady from Tennessee for yielding. I also want to thank her for organizing this Special Order this evening on such an important issue. None of us knows for sure what the United States Supreme Court is going to do in the…
The trial against civil society NGO workers is still ongoing and perhaps most disturbingly recently, measures implemented by the SCAF appear to have the effect of actually rolling back democratic progress.
I do. The Acting CHAIR. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from Ohio? There was no objection. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Ohio is recognized for 2 minutes.
I will be brief. Mr. Chairman, I have the utmost respect for our distinguished chairman. He speaks with great wisdom on many, many occasions, and I'm sure he did on this occasion as well. However, I would just reiterate a couple of things…
I think I reserved. The Acting CHAIR. Does the gentleman seek unanimous consent to reclaim his time?
I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Ohio will be postponed. Amendment Offered by Mr. Reed
I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 47, line 22, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $75,317,000)''. Page 48, line 14, after the dollar amount…
I introduced this amendment because it is high time that we take our debt and our deficit seriously. We no longer can afford to go on with politics as usual and continue to subsidize wasteful spending programs and policies that…
May I ask how much time I have left of my 5 minutes? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman had 2 minutes, but yielded back his time.
I would argue that you all know a whole lot better how to spend your money than the federal government does.
This is a matter of national security. This amendment would force the United States to be 100 percent reliant on the Russian and European suppliers of enriched uranium, a compound critical to America's energy and national security needs…
I am deeply disturbed to hear that the administration is even considering offering the regime in Tehran the ability to enrich domestically.
I remain very skeptical about the administration's current policy which continues to be a combination of engagement and pressure.
I will not be holding my breath for a breakthrough, at least not a real one,
Allowing Iran to enrich on its own soil even with the appropriate safeguards would allow the regime to continue to stockpile low-enriched uranium
