U.S. Rep. Gregory W. Meeks Sponsors Resolution on Dominican Republic Constitutional Court Decision
Excerpt: This agreement is far from perfect, but it prevents Republicans from holding our economy hostage again. However, it fails to eliminate the threat of potentially more irresponsible Republican brinksmanship in the near future over the debt ceiling and allowing our government to pay its bills.

Memorial Services of Nelson Mandela
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Gregory W. Meeks (D-NY), Senior Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee released the following statement on the passing of President Nelson Mandela:
Excerpt: This historic understanding is a diplomatic breakthrough that enhances the value of multilateral cooperation, and directly advances the security interests of the United States and our allies.
Excerpt: If the financial crisis taught us anything, it is that we cannot afford to retreat on consumer rights protection. I therefore applaud my democratic colleagues on the committee for staying united and voting "NO" on all these attempts to weaken the CFPB.
Excerpt: I urge the Senate to vote on the president’s nominees to judicial courts, Jeh Johnson to be Secretary of Homeland Security, and Congressman Mel Watt (D-NC) to head Federal Housing Finance Authority.
