I think that Russia needs to understand that we are going to boost Ukraine so that ultimately the Russian aggression will prove a detriment to what they think they have done rather than give them a plus because of the stealing of territory…

I disagree with him tremendously in trying to say that there is any kind of analogy between what happened in Crimea and what happened in Kosovo.

This legislation stands up to that and says there is bad faith by Russia.

I don't believe that every separatist movement claiming some kind of referendum should be allowed to form either an independent country or to be part of a power grab.

I think you are right on the money with that one, absolutely.

I want to commend Mr. Poe. I support his amendment. I think it's important.

Thanks to all of you for what you do for kids and what you do for education in America.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlelady for first hosting this Special Order tonight, and I appreciate you recognizing me to speak here tonight. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in defense of our First Amendment rights and in support of the millions…

Mr. Speaker, I join my colleagues with the Congressional Black Caucus in this Special Order in recognition of Women's History Month. I want to offer a special mention for the U.S. House of Representatives women firsts: Congresswoman…

It is this American ingenuity that discovered there is enough natural gas to use domestically and to export to our allies around the globe.

There is no question that American LNG exports would be great news for our allies in Europe as well as other nations around the world that want to buy our LNG.

The mere signal that America is serious about natural gas exports would immediately strengthen their negotiating position.

Our European allies expressed a strong interest in being able to import LNG from the U.S.

Federal policy has not yet adjusted to the new reality of American energy abundance, and in fact Obama administration red tape often stands in the way of the potential benefits of the energy boom.

the current process for approved LNG exports is very slow and unpredictable

the export of liquid natural gas, not only would it be beneficial to our allies in Europe who find themselves dependent on expensive natural gas coming from Russia, but it would also be beneficial to our own economy

It is a false dichotomy to say that we must choose between allowing for the sale of natural gas to other nations or keeping it here.

I am in favor of LNG exports, but I have four concerns.
