I am hoping that in your position you can push back and encourage that those cuts not happen.

We shouldn't just throw everything out if there is a single program--a lot of women are going to suffer.

So can I get your assurances that you will look at these programs as opposed to just zeroing out and eliminating these programs?

I do have concerns, as I think Mr. Chairman Smith mentioned, that that money gets out of the door as quick as possible and that money not be rolled over into fiscal year '18 because that blows the entire point.

I want to congratulate your leadership in your short tenure and definitely register that I appreciated your bringing the Security Council to Washington, DC, and including Members of Congress.

Let's get back to reality and continue our strong support for these high-value research programs.

The proposed cuts are just absolutely puzzling. They just make no sense.

I voted against permitting the government to have more spying on American citizens, all right.

I mentioned that the ranking member and I, Mr. Keating, went to Russia and we met with the head of their renamed KGB--FSB, I guess they call it--and they were very generous with us with information.

we need to be working with Russia to defeat radical Islam because that threatens their people and it threatens our people.

I think it is highly likely, and I am not getting into details right now but probably behind closed doors, that we are conducting extensive and then listening and hacking, if you will, overseas and we are sharing that with our European…

Our partners and our allies in Europe have suffered terribly at the hands of violent Islamic terrorists.

We are cooperating with Europe, correctly, are we involved in spying on European citizens in order to track down these terrorists that we wouldn't be allowed to do in our own country?

With all due respect, saying that only 3 percent of the terrorists come from the migrant camps or have migrated in totally distorts the view of what we are really talking about.

Leon Panetta was assigned to moderate--mediate, if you will--between the fishing industry and the sanctuaries.

The resilience of the British people, however, is inspiring and reminds me of why America is fortunate to call the British people our friends.
