I rise today to strongly oppose the december 17 announcement by president obama on policy changes toward the cuban communist regime. The cuban regime from day one was planning on using alan gross as a pawn to receive concessions from the Obama Administration and their strategy worked. In april, 2013 when asked about a possible swap for mr. Gross secretary kerry testified before congress that, quote, we have refused to do that because the
President sarcoys of france. Chancellor merkel of germany and president calderone of mexico. It was initiated by congress but agreed to by all four leaders. So it is out of the ordinary that the speaker would decide that he would be inviting people to a joint session without any bipartisan consultation. And of course, we always our friendship with israel is a very strong one. Prime minister netanyahu has spoken to the joint session two times already. There are concerns about the fact that as i understand it from this morning, this presentation will take place within two weeks of the election in israel. I dont think that is appropriate for any country that the head of state would come here within two weeks of his own election in his own country. The more serious part of your question is about the sanctions.

Define a leader with four characteristics to have a soul, to have a heart, to have brains and to have good nerves. Leaders, by and large, dont get to choose the challenges they face.

So as i turn the podium to you, let me paraphrase clause schwab in thanking you formakering all the personal sacrifices that Public Service requires at such challenging times and using his words, salute
Question as to what policy and how they felt about the vietnam war and the question is, did you beat your wife lately. I want you to come in and answer the questions of the philosophy. You talk about angola. You dont talk about angola how during the Eisenhower Administration we were for the very people that later on that nixon was opposed to. You dont say anything about that or things of that nature. Very interesting. My personal opinion is this, you deliberately stood in that well before an empty house and challenged these people and you challenged their americanism and its the lowest thing that i have ever seen in my 32 years in congress. Mr. Speaker, if i may reclaim my time. Let me say first of all mr. Speaker, i move we take the speakers words down. Find more highlights from 35 years of coverage.
