Senate bill would speed recovery of art lost to Nazi looting

The bipartisan legislation backed by the Senate Judiciary Committee on a voice vote would extend statutes of limitations for the recovery of that art.

"For the families of those who lost everything at the hands of the Nazis, hopefully today serves as an important and symbolic step to reclaiming not just artwork, but familial legacy," said Texas Sen. John Cornyn, who sponsored the legislation with fellow Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
