National Security and Foreign Policy

Washington, D.C. – Today, Reps. Curbelo (FL-26), Bonamici (OR-01), Stefanik (NY-21), Boyle (PA-13), Lamborn (CO-05), and Higgins (NY-26) introduced H.Res.318, to condemn policies that call for a boycott of Israeli academic institutions or scholars by institutions of higher learning or scholarly associations.

Washington, DC- Today, Congressman Brendan Boyle (D-PA-13) introduced a bill that would prevent the federal pension system from investing in companies that boycott Israel.
"This is an important statement of principle and act of fiscal responsibility," said Congressman Boyle. "It's time we take a stand and say we will not invest taxpayer dollars, the hard-earned pension dollars of our dedicated federal workforce, in companies that disinvest in our close ally and trusted friend, Israel. This is a simple but important, overdue step toward addressing this issue."

"The US-UK relationship is an important one. Today Britain is voting in what appears to be the closest election in decades. Unlike all past elections, a multi-party government is likely to emerge. Whatever the British public decides, I hope a strong and stable government will emerge that continues to value this relationship. Together, our two countries must continue to work closely on important issues, such as combatting the rise in terrorism, fighting poverty in the developing nations, and promoting peace and justice in Northern Ireland.

Washington, DC– Congressman Brendan Boyle (D-PA-13) urges his Republican colleagues in the House to approve a "clean" long-term bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security.

"Enough is enough," said Congressman Boyle. "The clock is ticking and the time to act responsibly is now. Our Homeland Security Department cannot afford three more weeks of Republican uncertainty, now is not the time to kick the can down the road. The country needs long term funding for DHS passed now."
