Of all the rights we enjoy as Americans. our right to worship as we choose is among the most cherished. Any infringements on our freedom of religionwhether by the Government or by private groups or individualsattacks not just that religion. but the principles on which our Nation was founded. Countless immigrantsmyself among themhave come to America to escape religious persecution in other countries. Our Government must be determined to keep the ugly scourge of religiously motivated violence out of this Nation. I believe this bill will play an important role in accomplishing this. and I urge my colleagues to support its passage.
