Tony Hall: “The bill expresses the support of Congress for expanding the number of members of the North Atlantic Treaty…”

On the recordNovember 7, 2001
The bill expresses the support of Congress for expanding the number of members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It recognizes the importance of admitting seven specific nations in Central and Eastern Europe. This legislation is in keeping with the vision expressed by both President Clinton and President Bush. I want to take this opportunity to express my sadness at the loss of former House Member and Committee on Rules chairman Jerry Solomon, who died last month of heart failure. Jerry and I often found ourselves on different sides of the issue, but we were fully united in our respect for the House of Representatives and our role in leading the Nation. Jerry was a man of honor and integrity. He spoke his heart and he stood up for his beliefs without hesitation.
