A Congress that sought greater unity with President Obama would help to strengthen our country for the struggles that are inevitably ahead with Iran.

I think the critical issue here is with the parties that were involved.

Unfortunately, my home state of New Mexico ranks 47th among states when it comes to the availability of download speeds greater than 3 megabits per second.

Tackling the digital divide is critical for promoting economic opportunity, healthcare access, and education.

It is holding the coalition together that is tremendously important.

I think there should be geographic limitation. I do not think we should allow the administration to go into Libya or a number of other countries surrounding this area.

I would really encourage you to do that. And I appreciate that you're trying to answer. And I want to make sure that, with my limited time, I get as much out as possible.

I appreciate both the leadership of the chairman and the ranking member to assure that we get feedback.

And I share many of my colleagues' concerns that we should be doing the very best to protect information.

I would like your assurance, based on your independent review of the state, to make sure we are addressing hunger in New Mexico.

We appreciate their efforts and hope that this committee will act on the legislation before the end of this Congress.

I appreciate the subcommittee's willingness to hold this important legislative hearing on H.R. 5176, a bill I have sponsored with Representative Cynthia Lummis.
