I rise in strong support of this resolution which I introduced. along with Representatives RosLEHTINEN. CROWLEY and FERGUSON. I am proud to stand alongside of them. as well as Chairman BERMAN and Representative ACKERMAN. who have been strong leaders on the issue of Jewish refugees from Arab lands. In this historic moment of recognition of these refugees. I would also like to take a moment to commend the leadership of our late chairman. Tom Lantos. whose leadership on this issue and on all human rights issues has been critical to opening this debate and to recognizing the rights of refugees throughout the world. This resolution is not just about a forgotten chapter of history. For centuries. long before the advent of Islam and long after it.
