On the recordMay 1, 2003
today at 12:30 I, along with my Democratic cosponsor, the gentleman from New York (Mr. Israel), and Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman will introduce our legislation to help Holocaust survivors and their families collect on Holocaust-era insurance policies. Mr. Speaker, I am fed up watching insurance companies thumb their noses at Holocaust survivors. I urge the Supreme Court to rule in favor of the survivors and their heirs in a case pending before the Supreme Court. Holocaust survivors and their heirs are being denied what is rightfully theirs. This is nothing more than white collar theft, and it is morally reprehensible. These heirs and survivors deserve what is rightfully theirs, and we will not give up until they are fully compensated.
