GO YANKEES, GO METS--BUT WHO TO ROOT FOR?1999-10-14

Mr. ENGEL

Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, this is an exciting time for baseball fans in New York. For the first time since the 1950s, we have a very real chance to have a subway series. In the 1950s, the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Giants baseball team routinely played the New York Yankees in the subway series, and now we have a real chance for the New York Mets and the New York Yankees to play each other in the subway series. I know there are some naysayers out there who are saying well, the Mets lost the first two games, so things do not look very well. But I want to remind everybody that in 1986, the world champion New York Mets also lost the first two games of the world series. As a Bronx boy who represents the Bronx, who grew up within walking distance of Yankee stadium, I am very, very proud of the Yankees; and I have a bet with my good friend, the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Markey), on the Boston-Yankees playoffs game. We are very, very happy in New York. We look forward to a World Series between the New York Yankees and the New York Mets, and I will worry about who to root for when that happens. Go Yankees; go Mets. 1999 is the year.

HONORING EMILY SANCHEZ1999-10-06

Mr. ENGEL

Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, certainly one of the most important things we can do for our children is to pass on our knowledge to them. Emily Sanchez is someone who has done that. She has been a member of Community School Board 11 for 16 years, twice in that time serving as president of the Board. She also served as Board Secretary and chair of the budget, finance, curriculum and continuing education, personnel and zoning committees. She hit the ground running at the School Board by leading the fight in her first term to keep I.S. 180 open when the Central School Board wanted to close it. She did not limit her activities to the School Board. She is also a member of Community Advisory Boards of the Jacobi Medical Center and chair of the AIDS and Support Services Committees, a member of Montefiore Medical Center as well as a member of the Co-op City Democratic Club and the Hispanic Society of Co-op City. She did not run for re-election to the School Board and this is a loss we will feel for a long time. I want to wish her, her husband and their two sons the very best in the future and say that I and the community will dearly miss her ability and her leadership.

HONORING BEN DiGREGORIO1999-10-06

Mr. ENGEL

Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, Ben DiGregorio is that rare individual, someone who has devoted his life to the service of his country, his city and his community. He came to the Bronx when he was a year old and has lived here ever since. He joined the Navy as a young man and when he was discharged, joined the New York City Police Department. He has a marvelous 34 year career and was named the first commanding officer of the 49th Precinct when it opened in 1985. He retired three years later but was not finished. Captain DiGregorio was elected to Community School Board 11 and he has served in that capacity for 11 years. But he not only served on the Board but would go to schools to give career counseling and read to the students. He was honored by the Forum of Italian American Educators with their Community Service Award for his work on the School Board. Ben and his wife Virginia have a daughter, Donna, and two sons, Steven and David. He is retiring from Community School Board and I want to join his friends and colleagues in wishing him and his family all the good that life has to offer. He has certainly earned it.

BIPARTISAN CONSENSUS MANAGED CARE IMPROVEMENT ACT OF 19991999-10-06

Mr. ENGEL

Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Chairman, every day I hear from my constituents enrolled in HMOs who are crying out for help. Most Americans want guaranteed access to emergency room care, and so do I. Most Americans want to be able to see doctors who are specialists, and so do I. Most Americans want the ability to choose their own doctors, and so do I. Most Americans want doctors, not accountants or bureaucrats, to make decisions about their medical health care. So do I. Most Americans want protection of the doctor- patient relationship. So do I. Most Americans want the ability to sue their HMOs if they are injured by deficient medical care, and so do I. It is ludicrous that in New York City if you were injured in a taxicab, you can sue, but if you are injured or killed by deficient medical care, you would have no right to sue. That cannot continue to happen in the United States. The Norwood-Dingell bipartisan bill is the only one which guarantees these consumer rights. It is the only one which will ensure that Americans will have quality health care. It is the only one that will ensure that Americans who understand the needs of health care get access to quality health care. I commend the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Norwood) for his courageous stand, and the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Dingell) as well. Americans will not be fooled. Americans want quality health care. So do I. Support Norwood-Dingell. It is the only bill that assures them that quality.

WAIVING POINTS OF ORDER AGAINST CONFERENCE REPORT ON H.R. 2606, FOREIGN OPERATIONS, EXPORT FINANCING, AND RELATED PROGRAMS APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 20001999-10-05

Mr. ENGEL

Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman, and I really do not think that the Chamber needs to be lectured by the Republican majority about fiscal responsibility. They cannot even come up with a budget. We still have not passed a budget. Every budget they come up with raids the Social Security Trust Fund. They came up with an irresponsible huge tax break for the wealthy, which would have destroyed the Social Security tax fund, which would have dipped into the Social Security tax fund. Then they get up on the floor and attempt to portray themselves as the party of fiscal responsibility. They have busted the budget caps. They have just been devious about it and have gone around it by declaring the census an emergency when we all know that this country has had a census for hundreds and hundreds of years. That was a way they could bust the budget caps and go around it. Perhaps by the same nonsense, we could declare foreign aid an emergency. So let us not be lectured by the Republicans about fiscal responsibility because the tax break for the rich that the President was courageous enough to veto would have killed Social Security for us, for our children, and for our grandchildren for many, many years to come. Now, I am a big supporter of foreign aid, and I am embarrassed by this bill. I am embarrassed by it because there is an isolationism bent in the Republican Party where, every year, we provide less and less monies for foreign aid. Now, we can all get up and give a great speech about how we need the money for home and we need to build housing and build schools, and we need all that. But the United States is also the leader of the world. We used to say the leader of the free world when we had the Soviet. Now we say the leader of the world. Unfortunately, our friends on the other side of the aisle, the minute the Soviet Union collapsed, most of them saw no further need for the responsible foreign aid. The fact of the matter is, no one made us the leaders of the world. We chose to pick up and take the mantle. With leadership comes responsibility, and we do not have enough money to fulfill our foreign aid obligations in this bill. I have gone around to foreign capitals and seen our embassies and seen our hard-working Americans do the best they can with what they have had, and I am embarrassed by it. Because there is not enough money to have embassies and to have fully staffed embassies and to have the types of programs that the United States as the leader of the free world needs. This bill is $1 billion less than last year. It is $2 billion less than what the President asked for. It has no money for the Wye Accords. We talk about a fight with the Soviet Union. We won the Cold War. Now we are going to throw it all away. Developmental funds for Africa are cut. All these emerging Nations, we say we want them to have democracy and free market economy; and then we do not put our money where our mouth is where a little bit of money would just go a long, long way. Foreign aid, 75 to 80 percent of the foreign aid that we give comes back to the United States in terms of purchasing American goods and services. So it stimulates our economy, and it is good as well. Now, this is such a terrible bill that the Republican leadership prepared for days and days and weeks and weeks have been putting this bill on and pulling it back. They do not have the votes to pass this bill. I say we should let them go back to the drawing boards, come up with a responsible bill that we can be proud of so America can lead again.

EXPRESSING THE SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING BROOKLYN MUSEUM OF ART EXHIBIT FEATURING WORKS OF A SACRILEGIOUS NATURE1999-10-04

Mr. ENGEL

Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding me this time. Mr. Speaker, I am not from Brooklyn. I am from the Bronx, just a little bit away. But I am from New York City, and I know politics when I see it. This House has not done its business this year. We have not passed the budget. There are so many things that we have not done. What are we wasting our time on? We are wasting our time on politics. This is all about who will be the next Senator of the State of New York. The Republican leadership ought to get its act together. They ought to pass the budget. They ought to make sure there are votes to pass the budget instead of trying to vote on these knee-jerk issues so that they can play to their right wing base. That is what this is all about. Once we start going down this slippery slope of Government telling museums what they can or cannot do, where does it end? Sure this exhibit is offensive. Sure this exhibit is disgusting. But I do not think that we in Government ought to sit and judge as censors and say that we will not pay for this museum or that museum or whatever it is because we are offended. That is not what we should be doing. Let us do our business. The Republican leadership wants to put their smoke screen up because they have not done their job. The American people know that they have not done their job. So let us not talk about not giving Federal funds to the Brooklyn Museum. There are no Federal funds that go into this exhibit. There are Federal funds that go to the Brooklyn Museum for other things, targeted things, specific things. This is all about politics. Mayor Giuliani gets up, and he starts talking again and again. If he had kept his mouth quiet, nobody would even know about this exhibit. He has given it more publicity than it ever could have gotten. But, again, he wants to move to the right, play to the Republican base, maybe get the conservative party line in New York. That is what this is all about. So this Congress, again, should do the job that the American people elected us to do. We ought to pass the budget. We ought to do things on time. We ought not to talk about these knee-jerk base kind of gut reactions. The Republicans want to play to their corps. They want to get their members enthused. They want to show that one person can out-right wing the other person. That is really a disgrace. Let us pass the budget and not waste our time on this nonsense.

SUPPORTING THE ETHNIC AND MINORITY BIAS CLEARINGHOUSE ACT OF 19991999-09-24

Mr. ENGEL

Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of greater diversity in our national media. If we learned anything this past year, it is that the media has a tremendous influence in our day-to-day lives. The impact of this ``Information Age'' influence needs to be examined because it does not always promote accurate images. To address this important issue, I introduced H.R. 125, the ``Ethnic and Minority Bias Clearinghouse Act of 1999.'' While this legislation will shed a good deal of sunshine upon our media, it will not attempt to place any mandates upon broadcasters. H.R. 125 will direct the Federal Communication Commission to begin compiling data on complaints, grievances and opinions regarding radio and television broadcasters depiction of ethnic and minority groups. This information will be released to the public on a yearly basis and will be discussed in an annual conference to examine our nation's perception of the media's depiction of our great ethnic diversity. In support of my legislation I submit for the Record a letter that was sent by the National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) to the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences which illustrates the need for my legislation. September 7, 1999. Ms. Meryl Marshall, Chairwoman and CEO, The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, North Hollywood, CA. Dear Ms. Marshall: The National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) is pleased to note that a large number of Italian Americans have been nominated by The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for their contributions to primetime television. Your September 12th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards has nominated NIAF supporters such as Stanley Tucci for Outstanding Lead Actor In A Miniseries Or Movie; Joe Mantegna for Outstanding Supporting Actor in the same category; and Tony Danza as Outstanding Guest Actor In A Drama Series. Italian Americans are also up for awards in comedy, drama, direction, editing, hairstyling, makeup, and music. These nominations confirm the tremendous contributions that Italian Americans have made in the fields of art and entertainment. However, NIAF is greatly concerned about the amount of attention and acclaim which has been given to the Home Box Office series, ``The Sopranos'', and how it relentlessly focuses only on Italian Americans in organized crime. NIAF appreciates and recognizes the acting skills and hard work of Emmy nominated performers like James Gandolfini, Lorraine Bracco, and Edie Falco, as well as the work of the rest of the cast and crew. But NIAF agrees with writer Bill Dal Cerro, who wrote in the June 20th Chicago Tribune that the show ``not only exploits popular prejudice about Italian Americans, but allows the audience to giggle at such images guilt-free.'' This past year has seen an open season assault by the entertainment industry on people of Italian American heritage. Whether it be a Pepsi television ad featuring a little girl speaking in an Italian American ``Godfather'' voice, derogatory films such as Spike Lee's ``Summer of Sam'', or TNT's despicable ``Family Values: The Mob & The Movies'', your industry has reinforced the stereotype that all Italian Americans are losers, or mobsters, or both. The stereotyping is also insidious: type in the phrase ``Italian Americans'' in the internet search box of HBO's parent company, Time Warner, and you get a glossary of terms from ``The Sopranos'' with words like ``Stugots'', ``Ginzo gravy'' and ``Wonder Bread Wop.'' These words are offensive to Italian Americans and should not be glamorized on the world-wide web in so careless a fashion. Clyde Haberman of the New York Times, wrote the following in a July 30th article entitled ``An Ethnic Stereotype Hollywood Can't Refuse'': ``In this age of correctness, other groups have managed to banish the worst stereotypes about them. How often these days do you see shuffling blacks, grasping Jews or drunken Irishmen on the screen? . . . (but) Among major ethnic groups that have formed the country's social bedrock for at least a century, Americans of Italian origin may be the last to see themselves reflected in mass culture, time and again, as nothing but a collection of losers and thugs.'' A study by the Italic Studies Institute, Floral Park, New York, bears out Mr. Haberman's assertion. The Institute analyzed 735 Hollywood films that featured Italian Americans from 1931 to 1998. It found 152 films were positive and 583 were negative towards Italian Americans. NIAF agrees with Bergen, New Jersey Assemblyman Guy Talarico, who recently said that Italy has produced some of the finest artists, scientists, athletes and other professionals. Mr. Talarico introduced a resolution condemning the film industry's negative portrayal of Italians and warned that ``it is inaccurate and insensitive to insinuate that a small number of people (in organized crime) represent an entire ethnic group.'' Or to put it another way, Energy Secretary Frederico Pena told a conference last year that stereotyping ``is the package in which racism finds a home.'' And if allowed to continue, Pena said ``we depersonalize each other and we see not the faces of the personal stories we can all share but the face of an impersonal group.'' In fact, because Hollywood has been reluctant to reduce harmful stereotyping of Italian Americans and other minorities, NIAF has given its full support to ``The Ethnic and Minority Bias Clearing House Act of 1999.'' The bill, HR 125, sponsored by New York Congressman Eliot Engel, would create an office, probably within the Federal Communications Commission, to collect and analyze the media's portrayal of ethnic, racial and religious minorities, with an annual report on such portrayals in the industry prepared for Congress. NIAF has begun a major effort to ``Stamp Out Italian American Stereotyping,'' and we need the help of influential people in the entertainment community like yourself to help us achieve success. We have enclosed NIAF's report, ``Fact Sheets On Italian Americans In US History And Culture'', and ask that you review it and distribute it to all members of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. The 37-page document contains a listing of significant contributions Italian Americans have made to the US in such fields as politics, education, entertainment, sports and law enforcement. Academy members who read this document, which is also available on NIAF's web site, www.niaf.org, would get a fuller representation of Italian Americans which could lead to depicting our people on television and in the movies in a more positive fashion. We also ask that the Academy consider for next year's awards the Arts and Entertainment (A&E) film ``Italians in America'' and the History Channel film ``Ellis Island.'' Both will be shown in October and both document Italian American history and achievements. Finally, we would ask that the Academy agree to participate in an NIAF-sponsored workshop on ``Italian American Stereotyping'' which will take place in the second quarter of the Year 2000. Your participation will convince others in the entertainment industry that this is a problem which needs to be addressed if 20 million Americans of Italian descent, the nation's fifth largest ethnic group, are to be fairly depicted, as honest, hard-working individuals. I have designated Dona De Sanctis, head of the NIAF's Media Institute Board, as your direct contact on these issues. Please contact her at NIAF headquarters, 1860 19th St., NW, Washington, DC, 20009, telephone: (202) 387-0600. Sincerely, Frank J. Guarini, NIAF Chairman.

House of Representatives1999-08-05

Mr. ENGEL

Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Chairman, I move to strike the requisite number of words. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong support of the Hall amendment. I come from the old school. I believe that if one wants to do something, one finds a way to do it. If one really does not want to do it, one makes excuses as to why it cannot be done. We have in this Congress, for the past several years, nitpicked to death our arrearage question involving the United States' dues that are owed to the United Nations. I am embarrassed and ashamed that the United States has not paid its dues, and I am embarrassed and ashamed that we use every other issue as a rationale as to why somehow or other the United States cannot pay its dues. Everyone here says, oh, yes, we think that the United States will pay its dues and can pay its dues, and we are still in negotiation and still doing this and we are still doing that. But here we are year after year after year after year, and nothing changes. We have the United Nations working group here, co-chaired by myself and the gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Lowey) and the gentleman from Iowa (Mr. Leach) and the gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Shays). We did not think that month after month, year after year, we would still be fighting for the same thing. So a time has really come for us to put up or shut up. The United Nations arrearages should not be mixed in with abortion language or Mexico City or any other issue or any of the reforms or any of the things, the negotiations between the Senate and the House. We owe that money, and that money ought to be paid. It is an embarrassment that it is not paid. Poll after poll has shown that anywhere from two-thirds to three- quarters of the American people support our paying the dues which we owe. Do my colleagues know that every former Secretary of State that is living, Republican and Democratic serving in Republican and Democratic administrations, supports the paying of the U.N. dues? Every one, Republican and Democratic, supports it. Now, the U.N. has undergone reforms. It needs more reforms. But let us not pretend they have not tried and made great strides in reforming themselves over the past years. The U.N. has an inspector general. They have reduced their peacekeeping costs substantially. These are all things that we have demanded they do. They have responded. They have had a zero growth now for 6 years. There are 900 positions cut in the United Nations. So they are responding to what we are saying. They ought to respond more. But as was pointed out by several of my colleagues, will they respond more if we pay our dues, or will they respond more if we do not pay our dues? If we do not pay our dues and we have this arrogant attitude and we are thumbing our nose at the world body, well, why should they respond to our demands for reform? But if we are paying what we owe, then we have a right to be influential, and we have a right to say what we feel, and then there will be a response; and there has been a response. But it seems to me that we cannot talk out of both sides of our mouth. What really upsets me and has not come out in this debate is that there is sort of an underlying feeling amongst many colleagues here, particularly on the other side of the aisle, underlying feelings of hostility towards the United Nations, that somehow the United Nations is there to tell us what to do or to dominate us or not act in the interest of the United States. I think it is quite the opposite. I think the United Nations does work in the interest of the United States and in the interest of peace throughout the world. We have seen in crisis after crisis, in incidents such as in Kosovo and in Iraq and all over the world that we can utilize the United Nations to back up United States policy. But are we again in a better position to do that if we do not pay our dues or are we in a better position to have the United Nations back up U.S. foreign policy if we do pay our dues? I think it is quite evident that if we pay our dues we will have more influence in that body. So I think what the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Hall) is trying to do, and he is showing the frustration that all of us feel, is that simply the United States ought to pay its dues and this Congress ought to have an up or down vote on the paying of the dues, not mixed into any other issue, not blown away because we are having a fight with the Senate or some people here do not like the administration or some people here feel strongly about other issues. We owe the money, we ought to pay the money. The United Nations is an important organization, the United States is the leader of the world, and we ought to do what is right. And what is right is to pay our dues, and what is right is for this Congress to unequivocally say let us stop bashing the U.N., let us stop bashing other nations, let us act like leaders for a change. We are the leaders, we ought to be the leaders, and we ought to pay what we owe. Support the Hall amendment.

HONORING THE ALBANIAN AMERICAN WOMEN'S ORGANIZATION1999-08-05

Mr. ENGEL

Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the Albanian American Women's Organization (AAWO), ``Motrat Qiriazi.'' The AAWO is a nonprofit group committed to the advancement of Albanian Women within their families, communities, and society. The Albanian American Women's Organization was founded in 1993 by a small group of Albanian immigrants in New York City. ``Motrat Qiriazi'' is named for sisters Qiriazi, the first Albanian women educators who dedicated their lives to the empowerment of Albanian women. The organization is composed entirely of volunteers and numbered more than 1,200 in 1998. When the situation deteriorated in Kosova, the AAWO began to focus its attention on helping the people in crisis. In 1999, the AAWO raised $54,000 and developed strong ties with organizations like the International Rescue Committee. The leadership of the AAWO met with First Lady Hillary Clinton at the White House on August 2, 1999. They are currently involved in giving support to recent immigrants and refugees, including providing host families and job placement. Once again, I offer my most heartfelt commendation to the AAWO for their hard work and commitment to helping people both in the United States and throughout the Balkans.

Mr. ENGEL

Mr. ENGEL. I yield to the gentleman from New York.

Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Chairman, I rise today to engage in a colloquy with my colleague from New York (Mr. Serrano), ranking member of the subcommittee, along with the gentleman from Kentucky (Chairman Rogers). Mr. Chairman, today I wish to express my support for the New York Botanical Garden. The district of the gentleman from New York (Mr. Serrano) and mine encompass a large portion of the Bronx in New York. The New York Botanical Garden has been located in my district. It is currently located in the district of the gentleman from New York (Mr. Serrano) which borders mine. Mr. Chairman, those who have been to New York know that the Botanical Garden is considered by many to be the jewel of the Bronx as well as an institution renowned for its support and development of advanced research and graduate studies in plant biology. I, along with 17 of my colleagues from New York, have urgently requested that $5 million be appropriated for construction of a new plant studies research laboratory at the New York Botanical Garden. The Botanical Garden is currently recognized as a premier institution in botanical research in the United States. The facility which houses advanced botanical studies laboratories, however, has become obsolete. A new facility is desperately needed to continue to attract top scientists and researchers from around the world. As I am sure the chairman and ranking member are aware, $1 million has been included in the Commerce-Justice-State appropriations bill of the Senate. I urge them to maintain or increase this level of funding during the conference committee.

Mr. ENGEL. I yield to the gentleman from Kentucky.

AMERICAN EMBASSY SECURITY ACT OF 19991999-07-21

Mr. ENGEL

Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 2\1/2\ minutes. Mr. Chairman, after the allies won the war in Kosovo, when the Serbian forces left Kosovo to go back to Serbia, they kidnapped anywhere from 1,800 prisoners, Kosovar Albanian prisoners, to up to 5,000 Kosovar Albanian prisoners, and took them back to Serbia, away from their homes, and jailed them. The Serbian justice minister mentions a total of 1,860 Kosovar Albanians jailed. But I have from a very respected newspaper, Koha Ditore, a list of 5,000 ethnic Albanian prisoners who are now detained in jails in Serbia. This amendment simply would call on the International Committee of the Red Cross to be allowed to visit these prisoners to call for an accounting of these prisoners and to give the International Committee of the Red Cross access to all Kosovar Albanians detained in Serbian prisons. It also asks for the release and return to Kosovo of all these people and is virtually identical to a resolution that was passed by the OSCE recently which contained the same provisions and was the European parliamentarians' same request. We cannot allow Slobodan Milosevic to capture these people and to keep them there as virtual prisoners. It is absolutely important that the world community stand up and say that we will not tolerate the continued Serbian aggression. Mr. Chairman, I include for the Record the list of prisoners and two articles, one from the Washington Post and one from the Los Angeles Times, which highlights this problem and the problem of the Kosovar Albanians who are captured and kidnapped in Serbian prisons. The List of Kosovar Prisoners Held in Serbia Taken From Koha Ditore City Prison-Pozharevc (Serbia): Lutfi Xhaferi, Muhamet Bajrami, Fadil Salihu, Naser Osmani, Rijad Begu, Isak Abazi, Xhemshit Ferati,

Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment.

Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Moran).

Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Chairman, as I mentioned before, the Parliamentary Assembly of the OSCE, Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, passed a resolution similar to our amendment. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Cardin), the author of that resolution.

Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent for an additional 2 minutes.

Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Olver).

Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Chairman, I just want to thank my colleagues. This obviously is supported on both sides of the aisle very strongly. I want to thank the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Smith) for his wonderful work on human rights and the gentleman from New York (Mr. Gilman) and all the people on both sides of the aisle who have supported this. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.

THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO KENNEDY FAMILY AND BESSETTE FAMILY1999-07-20

Mr. ENGEL

Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I just wanted to take this opportunity to express my thoughts and prayers to the Kennedy and Bessette families during this time of terrible tragedy. As a New Yorker, I can tell my colleagues that John F. Kennedy, Jr. played a special role in our city. The way he conducted himself through the years with grace and dignity is something that we shall always remember. Who can ever forget the little boy, John John, who saluted his father's casket on his third birthday. I just felt that, at this time, I wanted to express the feelings of millions upon millions of Americans who really extend our grief and wishes and sadness to both the Kennedy and Bessette families. The Kennedy family has given so much to this country. It is very, very difficult for all of us during this time. I know that I express the feelings of all my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, and I just felt it was very appropriate at this time to extend my heart and my hand to both families during this time of grief.

AMERICAN EMBASSY SECURITY ACT OF 19991999-07-19

Mr. ENGEL

Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of the en bloc amendment and my two amendments contained therein. In the United States, people know that in the event of an emergency they can always count on the American Red Cross to come to the rescue. Other countries' Red Cross or Red Crescent societies perform similar functions. The Israeli counterpart to the American Red Cross is the Magen David Adom (MDA) society. MDA carries out all of the traditional roles of a voluntary medical aid society, such as emergency medical services, maintenance of blood supplies, first aid, and disaster relief. Unfortunately, unlike the American Red Cross and every other nation's ICRC component organization, MDA is not accepted as a member of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. The Magen David Adom Society is excluded from full membership in the International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement solely because the Red Shield of David, the organization's emblem, is not officially recognized by either the Geneva Conventions or the Statutes of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. I have the fullest respect for the religious traditions represented by the red cross and red crescent, but I also respect the decision of Israel, as a Jewish state, to choose a sign more in line with its religious tradition. With peace slowly but surely coming to the Middle East and Israel developing progressively more relations with its neighbors, it is time that the ICRC accepts the Magen David Adom as a full member. The amendment, which I offer with my friend, the gentleman from New York, Mr. Weiner, seeks to shine light on this problem and presses our government to seek a solution. Specifically, it urges the President to work with other nations to achieve recognition of MDA as a full member of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement at the forthcoming 27th International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent. My second amendment, Mr. Chairman, conditions exports of crime control equipment--such as batons, hand cutts, or tear gas--to the Royal Ulster Constabulary on independent investigations into the murders of defense attorneys Patrick Finucane and Rosemary Nelson. Section 408 of the underlying bill already conditions FBI and police training of the RUC on independent investigations of these suspicious murders. My amendment adds to that section by restricting exports of police items. I share the fear of many members of Congress and human rights groups that the RUC will white wash these investigations. My amendment and the bill, itself, are designed to send the signal that we will no longer stand for bungled investigations and cover-ups of politically-motivated killings. It is time that peace and justice came to northern Ireland. I would like to thank Chairman Gilman, Ranking member Gejdenson, and Subcommittee Chairman Chris Smith for their exceptional cooperation and support during this process.

APPOINTMENT OF CONFEREES ON S. 1059, NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 20001999-07-01

Mr. ENGEL

Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Skelton) for yielding me the time. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of this motion. I certainly commend our brave United States Armed Forces, their families. I believe that President Clinton ought to get all the praise possible for the conduct of this war. Secretary Cohen, Secretary Albright, all the NATO allies, the front-line states, Albania, Macedonia, Romania, and Bulgaria, this was truly a united effort. I very much regret that we needed this vehicle to put forth this resolution commending our Armed Forces. The Senate, as the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Skelton) pointed out, unanimously adopted a resolution several weeks now. We have been trying to get the Republican leadership to allow us to have a similar resolution on the floor, but they have denied it. This is the only vehicle. What, frankly, really bothers me is that the same critics in this House who were calling the war ``Clinton's war'' and were saying that bombing would never work and the war would never be won and this was a tragedy and this was a travesty now will not give credit where credit is due. The fact is we won this war. We ought to be proud of winning this war. The President was right. The President did the right thing in Kosovo. I co-chaired the Albanian Issues Caucus, and we have been yelling for years and years about the ethnic cleansing that is going on in Kosovo, the lack of human rights, the fact that the ethnic Albanians there were denied for years and years the basic rights. I am proud of our country for stepping in and standing up for human rights. I am proud of our President for taking a stand. It would have been politically easier for him to just sit back and say, what can we do? This is not our war. Ethnic cleansing and genocide, as abhorrent as it is, there is nothing we can do about it. But the President did not say that. The President took action, and thank God he took action and saved thousands upon thousands of lives. The fallacy that ethnic cleansing somehow was not happening and that the bombing caused it is nonsense. It is what I have been calling for years ``quiet ethnic cleansing'' or ``slow ethnic cleansing.'' And we put a stop to it and we allowed ethnic Albanians, who constituted 90 percent of the population of Kosovo before the war, to be able to live normal lives. So I think that our Armed Forces ought to be praised. The President of the United States deserves all the praise there can be. And my colleagues on the other side of the aisle that were calling this ``Clinton's war'' ought to be calling it ``Clinton's victory'' because the President deserves the credit. I am very, very proud of what we did. I want to say, I hope that there will be autonomy and self-governing. But, as I have always said, I believe, long range, the solution for Kosovo is independence because those people have the same right of self-determination and independence that the other people of former Yugoslavia when the former Yugoslavia broke up and Croatia and Bosnia and Macedonia and Slovenia all had the right to self-determination. The ethnic Albanians in Kosovo, in my estimation, ought to have that same right. So, again, I commend the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Skelton) for this. I think we all ought to go on record as praising the Armed Forces and commend President Clinton.

WARTIME VIOLATION OF ITALIAN AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES ACT1999-07-01

Mr. ENGEL

Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with my colleague from New York, Congressman Lazio, to introduce the Wartime Violation of Italian American Civil Liberties Act. This legislation brings to light a tragic episode in our nation's history when Italian Americans were considered enemy aliens. The civil liberty abuses that Italian Americans suffered during this time period are not well documented and are not well known, but they did occur and the truth about this story, Una Storia Segreta-- the Secret Story, must be told. December 7, 1941 is a date that is very well known, it is the day that the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. What is not so well known is that on that day Italian Americans became enemy aliens. FBI agents, military personnel, and local police began rounding up Italians labeled subversive and dangerous. Ironically, some of those labeled dangerous aliens had fought alongside the United States Armed Forces during World War I. Even more ironic is the fact that many Italians deemed enemy aliens had sons in the United States Armed Services fighting to protect the freedoms that were being taken away from their parents. Such is the case with Joe Ardent. Joe entered the service and did not know until he returned home that his father had been restricted, fired from his job, and considered an enemy alien. Mr. Speaker, during World War II, 600,000 Italian Americans were classified as enemy aliens, more than 10,000 were forcibly evicted from their homes, 52,000 were subject to strict curfew regulations and hundreds were shipped to internment camps without due process. These civil liberty abuses stretched from coast to coast as California fishermen had their fishing boats confiscated and were either interned or forced to relocate, while on the east coast, Ellis Island, the world renowned symbol of freedom and democracy, became a detention center for enemy aliens. No Italian was exempt from these injustices. Ezio Pinza, the star of ``South Pacific'' and the singer of the signature hit ``Some Enchanted Evening'' was detained at Ellis Island. Pinza was accused of altering the tempo of his voice in order to send messages to the Italian government. Although these charges were clearly ludicrous, it took several high powered attorneys and two hearings to prevent him from being interned. We must ensure that these terrible events will never be perpetrated again. We must safeguard the individual rights of all Americans from arbitrary persecution or no American will ever be secure. The least our government can do is try to right this terrible wrong by acknowledging the fact that these events did occur. To that end, this legislation calls on the Department of Justice to prepare a comprehensive report detailing the government's unjust policies and practices during this time period. Included in the report will be an examination of ways in which civil liberties can be safeguarded during times of national emergencies. This report is essential in order to ensure that our history is well documented as those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Mr. Speaker, this legislation also calls on the President, on behalf of the United States government, to formally acknowledge our government's systematic denial of basic human rights and freedoms to one of the largest ethnic communities in the United States. As we begin our Fourth of July recess, let us take this opportunity to reflect upon the debt we owe the Italian American community and ensure that the American public recognizes these injustices of the past in order to prevent them in the future. Sixty two of my colleagues have joined me in cosponsoring this bill, and I ask you Mr. Speaker, and the rest of my colleagues to support this important legislation.
