                        A RISE IN ANTI-SEMITISM

  (Mr. GARAMENDI asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, today I rise in support of Senator 
Schumer's address on anti-Semitism in the Senate.
  I echo Senator Schumer's concerns. Anti-Semitism is on the rise in 
our country, and it is simply unacceptable.
  As Americans, we have the responsibility to condemn bigotry and hate 
in all of its forms, including anti-Semitism.
  To quote my friend and colleague in the Senate, ``We are stewards of 
the flames of liberty, tolerance, and equality that warm our American 
melting pot, and make it possible for Jewish Americans to prosper 
alongside Palestinian Americans, and every other immigrant group from 
all over the world.''
  I thank Senator Schumer for his powerful words. As we watch the 
events abroad and here at home unfold, I urge Americans to remember 
that our shared humanity, commitment to equality, and tolerance are our 
greatest strengths.
  Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record Senator Schumer's remarks.
