mr. lance: thank you very much, mr. speaker.today in strong support of the justice against foreign terrorists act sponsored by mr. king of new york. as we approach the 15th anniversary of the horrific terrorist attacks of september 11, 2001, it is appropriate that we in congress are finally authorizing the victims from that terrible day have the right to pursue full justice in our courts of law. i'm a lawyer and i have worked with constitutional and statutory issues. this legislation does not convict any one person or any one nation. but it gives the loved ones of those who died recourse for full justice and compensation. new jersey lost more than 700 residents in the attacks. 81 of them from communities i represent here in congress. i know some of those names and i know all of those communities. they deserve their day in court and they deserve the assistance of the federal government in being as transparent as possible with the evidence and the intelligence. the truth is the truth and it is time that we all know it. this measur

burgess, mr. lance. really appreciate it. and, of course, the committee chair, fred upton, and ranking member frank pallone. mr. speaker, you'd be glad to know we worked pretty hard to be bipartisan and productive in the energy and commerce committee. it takes a good deal of effort on both sides. but you know, this legislation is really an acknowledgment about this new technology. the application of the internet to activities that are just cutting across the entire economy. everything from agriculture to medicine. and it's an acknowledgment by congress this is a private sector-led entrepreneurial-led range of opportunities that has the potential to increase sufficiency and productivity. for instance, on farms, you have g.p.s. planting done by g.p.s.-guided tractors, and it results in much better planting with fewer seeds. it saves money and increases crop yields. n medicine, as you know, the telemedicine is being tremendously helpful to folks in vermont where we're a very rural state and it's tough for folks to make a 60 or 70

mr. lance: thank you, mr. chairman. i have an amendment at the desk. the chair: the clerk will designate the amendment. the clerk: amendment number 3 printed in house report 114-778 offered by mr. lance of new jersey. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 876, the gentleman from new jersey, mr. lance, and a member opposed, each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from new jersey. mr. lance: thank you, mr. chairman, and my thanks to chairman hensarling and my thanks as well to congressman poll quinn for their tremendous leadership -- poll quinn for their tremendous -- poliquin for their tremendous leadership on this issue. this is not about the iranian nuclear amendment and nothing in this bill will change that agreement. obviously there is significant debate about the underlying agreement. i am a strong opponent of that as was the majority in the house of representatives. however, the other chamber did not reach a conclusion on that issue. on this amendment, it's in our national sec

speaker -- mr. lance: thank you, mr. speaker. and thank you, chairman royce, for your leadership on this extremely important issue. i rise in strong support of h.r. 5931, prohibiting future ransom payments to iran act. it is a sad day when the american people see their tax funds being given to the world's most notorious financer of international terrorism. this legislation puts an end to it. and it is taxpayer funds because that was the original purpose in the 1970's. since then the iranian regime has sponsored state terrorism across the globe. the total now stands at $1.7 billion that this administration has handed over to iran. despite weeks of denial, denial after denial, the administration has finally acknowledged that these cash shipments to iran were leveraged for the release of four innocent americans unlawfully held by tehran. i translate the term leverage to mean ransom. we already know that the world is less safe based upon the nuclear agreement with iran. and that we are catering to iran's demands. nd i believe that th

mr. lance: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today in strong support of overriding the president's veto of the justice against sponsors of terrorism act. this is our constitutional prerogative. we in congress can override the veto of a president and in this case a strong bipartisan majority disagrees with the president. earlier today, the senate of the united states voted 97-1 in favor of an override. if is right and just that the victims of the horrific terrorist attacks of september 11, 2001, be able to pursue full justice in our courts of law. i also represent a congressional district in new jersey that lost 81 people on 9/11. opposing views fear repercussions against the united states if this legislation becomes law. but the united states does not support, finance, or condone international terrorism. we're the nation that historically has helped rid the world of evil and we have nothing to fear from truth and justice. nations around the world should recognize the fundamental justice in legal remedies against a terrori
