Tom Wolf said "reclaiming my time, just in closing, the gentlewoman has been very good, and I appreciate the work of Mrs. Lowey on a lot of the issues. As Mr. Shays said, there are a lot of good things in the bill. This, in closing, deals with the whole issue of demining, human rights training, criminal justice, rule of law and human rights. None of these things really ought to be controversial for anybody, whatever their position. Also they fit into the recommendations of the Iraq Study Group. I think to offer an opportunity to heal and to build the private sector, the civilian sector in Iraq on these issues of human rights training is important, so when the United States is out, there will be respect for human rights, there will be criminal justice, there will be rule of law. Mr. Chairman, I urge an ``aye'' vote." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
