美国国会“台湾事务议员团”新任共和党共同主席、佛罗里达州共和党众议员林肯-迪亚斯-巴拉特(Lincoln Diaz-Balart) 出席了新闻发布会并发言。他在发言中表示，神韵演出让他受到很大启发，他并由此得出结论：法轮功的反迫害抗争必将取得最后胜利。

以下是林肯-迪亚斯-巴拉特的发言全文：

我今天来到这里，首先是要表示我与法轮功共同站在一起。我知道这场镇压是残忍的和持续不断的，但是我想要让那些受到镇压与迫害的男士与女士们、他们的朋友、家人和同情支持者们知道，在美国国会有支持他们的朋友，在美国国会有他们的钦慕者。

你们知道，我最近看了一场演出，这场演出让我受到很大启发，演出是由一个叫神韵艺术团的团体表演的。我非常喜欢这场演出，因为演出提醒我们，真理、公义和爱必胜；而残暴、仇恨和压迫必败。这场演出在极大触动我的同时，也在提醒我们，法轮功正在反迫害抗争。他们是真正的中国人民，他们必将取得最后胜利。

因此，本着这种认识，我要到这里来并加入这个重要的时刻。在我们纪念这个镇压与迫害10周年之际，我们要记住那些被杀害、被囚禁在地牢里、被酷刑虐待的人，以及他们那些因此而蒙受巨大痛苦的家人们。

在此，请接受我对你们最全心全意的支持，以及我对主办方组织这个重要纪念会的感谢。

谢谢！　

I come by and first of all is to express my solidarity with Falun Gong and I know that the repression is brutal and it is incessant, but I want those men and women who are being repressed, oppressed and their friends, families, and sympathies to know that they have friends in the U.S. Congress. And they have admirers in the U.S. Congress.

You know, I saw the performance recently, that inspired me very much. It was by a group called Divine Performing Arts. One reason why I enjoyed that performance so much was because it reminds us that at the end the Truth, Fairness and Love triumph, and Brutality, Hatred and Oppression at the end fail. So I was very moved by that performance but it also reminded us the struggle of Falun Gong. They are really the people of China; they are the one that automatically will prevail.

So with that spirit, I want to come by and join this important moment, When we take note of 10 years of oppression and persecution and we remember those who have been killed, those who are in the dungeons, been tortured, as well as their families who are suffered so much.

Please receive my fullest, most heart-felt solidarity at this moment and my thanks to you, the organizers, who put this together for this important commemoration.

Thank you.
