                     ANTI-SEMITISM AROUND THE WORLD

  (Mr. WOLF asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WOLF. Mr. Speaker, I rise to submit for the Record a statement on 
my concerns about the troubling increase in anti-Semitism in the Middle 
East, Europe, and, I regret to say, here in the United States, 
particularly on college campuses in recent years.
  Some have likened the freedom and safety of the Jewish people to 
``the canary in the coal mine'' of a nation's religious freedom and 
tolerance, meaning, if the Jewish population is threatened, so too will 
others in time.
  For the religious freedom and safety of all people, we must speak out 
against these disturbing trends and anti-Semitic acts around the world.
  I am also calling for the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights to update 
the 2006 report on anti-Semitism on college campuses to review recent 
trends and look at what recommendations, if any, have been implemented.
