Gerry Connolly actually said...

"This is a good example of coming together and legislating, and legislating to create some common good."

"I am also proud to cosponsor this legislation, and I thank you and the ranking member for bringing it up this morning."

"We want to help. This is an important part of Government that doesn't get sufficient attention."

"I am not arguing for a forceful, you know, armed conflict, but I am arguing for much tougher enforcement and teeth with it than has occurred heretofore."
