Nearly 2 years ago I cosponsored House Resolution 515. condemning persecution of Christians worldwide. Since that time I have been closely involved in trying to craft better policies for us to address religious persecution worldwide. I wholeheartedly support the attention that this bill has brought to the issue and a number of its provisions. particularly in training our foreign service and immigration officers. Still. we have more progress to make to reach our goal of the most effective. comprehensive legislation possible. We must address. report on and respond to religious persecution not only at its most violent stage of rape. murder and torture as defined in this bill. but before it escalates to such terrible levels.
