Congressional Record entries

Entry Title Date
Commemorating The Armenian Genocide April 24, 2012
Henry Waxman, D-CA
"Mr. Speaker, today, we gather to remember the genocide against the Armenian people. Although the generation that experienced these atrocities has passed, their suffering has been prolonged by the continued efforts to silence their cries and deny that a genocide occurred."
The Holocaust April 19, 2012
Henry Waxman, D-CA
"Mr. Speaker, today is Yom Hashoah U'Gvurah. It is a day to remember the Holocaust heroes and martyrs--those who fought and those who resisted; those who survived and those who perished."
Honoring Toni And Bruce Corwin February 28, 2012
Henry Waxman, D-CA
"Mr. Speaker, it is my great pleasure to congratulate my dear friends Toni and Bruce Corwin as they are honored by Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills at the 5th Annual Beverly Hills Purim Ball where they will be presented with the synagogue's Humanitarian Award on February 29, 2012. I cannot imagine a more deserving couple to receive this award. For decades the Corwins have worked tirelessly within the Los Angeles Jewish community and our community at large. In addition to admiring their remarkable work, my wife, Janet, and I are personally grateful for the many years of friendship we have shared with Toni and Bruce."
Sense Of House Regarding Any Final Measure To Extend Certain Expiring Provisions December 20, 2011
Henry Waxman, D-CA
"Mr. Speaker, this has been a terrible year in Congress. The intransigence of the Republican leadership and the Tea Party Republicans has brought us to the brink of crisis again and again. And now we're playing another game of chicken with the lives and well-being of millions of American families at stake."
Conference Report On H.R. 1540, National Defense Authorization Act For Fiscal Year 2012 December 19, 2011
Henry Waxman, D-CA
"Mr. Speaker, I will vote for H.R. 1540, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, because it contains a number of important advancements. I am extremely disappointed, however, that we were unable to achieve more in our effort to change U.S. policy on the treatment of detainees."
