the united nations mandates separating jews from palestinians in the west bank is segregation. mr. speaker, segregation is not democratic. united states and the u.n. have no legal business telling a sovereign nation where people should live or shouldn't live in that country. who in the world do we think we're? would we approve of the u.n. telling us that one race or ethnic group could not live in one region of the united states? absolutely not. thankfully this state department will soon be clearing their desk at foggy bottom and good ridens. it's time for a new -- ridans. it's time for a new state that sports america's friends and not our enemies. that's just the way it is. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlelady from new york seek recognition? without objection, the gentlelady is recognized for one minute. mrs. maloney: residents in new york city had a special reason to celebrate as this new year began. the very first new subway in over 60 years and the largest subway in the country opened its doors and carried passengers at 12:00 noon on new ye
