  INTRODUCTION OF LEGISLATION TO HELP HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS COLLECT ON 
                           INSURANCE POLICIES

  (Mr. FOLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FOLEY. Mr. Speaker, today at 12:30 I, along with my Democratic 
cosponsor, the gentleman from New York (Mr. Israel), and Minnesota 
Senator Norm Coleman will introduce our legislation to help Holocaust 
survivors and their families collect on Holocaust-era insurance 
policies.
  Mr. Speaker, I am fed up watching insurance companies thumb their 
noses at Holocaust survivors. I urge the Supreme Court to rule in favor 
of the survivors and their heirs in a case pending before the Supreme 
Court.
  Holocaust survivors and their heirs are being denied what is 
rightfully theirs. This is nothing more than white collar theft, and it 
is morally reprehensible. These heirs and survivors deserve what is 
rightfully theirs, and we will not give up until they are fully 
compensated.
