Congressman Bilirakis: "The Bulgarian government's report is yet another example of Hezbollah's deliberate use of terror across the globe. Contrary to some European opinions, Hezbollah is not merely a political organization and is actively involved in terrorist activities. As I have requested many times, the European Union must finally recognize Hezbollah for what it is: a terrorist organization. I commend the Bulgarian government for their thorough investigation and call on the members of the European Union to examine these findings closely."

"Today marks the 40^th anniversary of Roe v. Wade – a heartbreaking judicial action, which has cut short the lives of millions of children. As a father of four and a U.S. Congressman, I believe strongly in the sanctity of human life – both born and unborn – and it is with great thought and prayer I continue to oppose this decision today. I am privileged to be in a position which affords me the opportunity to stand up for the innocent and unborn, and I promise to continue to support pro-life legislation, as well as the morals and values on which they are founded.

"The Improving Transparency of Education Opportunities for Veterans Act provides a one-stop shop for our veterans, ensuring they have the resources they need to pursue a quality education, and ultimately, best position themselves for their future career goals," said Bilirakis. "As our veterans make the transition from the battlefield to civilian life, we must continue to make them a top priority, and I am proud our Veterans Service Organizations, educational institutions, and my colleagues in the House and Senate came together in support of this shared goal."
