Frank Wolf
The Public Record
Frank Wolf is a former Republican member of the United States House of Representatives, representing Virginia's 10th congressional district from 1981 to 2015. During his tenure, he was known for his work on issues related to transportation, education, and human rights. Wolf served on several committees, including the Appropriations Committee, where he played a significant role in shaping federal funding priorities. He was also a strong advocate for religious freedom and international human rights, often focusing on persecuted minorities around the world.
I fully understand the important role of the Commission in informing United States decision makers.
I pledge to use my energies and the range of diplomatic tools to strengthen international religious freedom issues.
Since we knew that there were 40 Tiananmen Square and other convicts laboring in that place we got an import ban on it.
The House passed H. Con. Res. 75, authored by my good friend and colleague, Jeff Fortenberry.
Although the administration made the right determination, a long time coming but they did, the question arises now, now what?
Thank you, Mr. Smith and Ms. Bass, for this hearing and to really kind of shine the light on it.
To have a special envoy, one stop. Also, for counseling of the girls, to say we are concerned about them.
I hope that this country... will renew its moral conviction, and even its political will, to combat Boko Haram.
It is just another disgraceful chapter in the administration's shameful response to the spread of terrorism throughout the world.
I will be really brief. One, the IDPs are not getting assistance, and the camps are some of the worst camps that I have seen.
If Nigeria unravels, or if part of it unravels, it is an existential threat to Europe.
I believe that the United States and other Western nations have a vested interest in confronting one of the worst crises of the current day.
There needs to be in-depth training of the military and police, but there is an awareness of it but not the compliance.
Frank was right at the forefront of that in Romania and so many other countries.
This hearing will light the spark that is needed to elevate this crisis to the place that it deserves.
China continues to rank up there with Iran, Vietnam, and Saudi Arabia in terms of the sheer misery it inflicts on members of its diverse religious communities.
Because religious freedom conditions are deteriorating globally, I introduced HR 1150, the Frank Wolf International Religious Freedom Act.
Chinese authorities are frightened by the simple proposition that individuals have the right to live out their beliefs openly and peacefully.
The purpose the Commission, according to the bill, was to provide policy recommendations to Congress and the Agriculture Secretary on how to more effectively use existing Agriculture Department programs and funds to combat domestic hunger.
Now, such changes will not work miracles. They will not work overnight. But without steps like this, and without the commitment of the President, the Secretary of State, the Congress, and the Ambassador-at-Large, the remaining Christians…
Thankfully, we have the author of that law, the International Religious Freedom Act, Frank Wolf, who back in 1998 authored that landmark legislation.
