It is ironclad as long as they do what we tell them to do.

Nobody has said anything to me. I turned on TV set. And there it is that somebody has made a decision that countermands the agreement that we made.

It is ironclad as long as they do what we tell them to do.

I am really disappointed in what I have heard today.

I have never agreed with every decision made by any Administration since I have been in the U.S. Senate on every issue.

We are all full of hope. But unfortunately, the history that we have had with these two countries is very, very discouraging.

the Biden administration has been very open in its communications with us, and I think respects greatly the legislative branch of government.

you are being too tough on ITAR. ITAR is really, really important when you are trying to withhold secrets from Russia, and China, and others.

Ma'am, you are living in la-la land. They are not coming back to the table.

Hope is not a strategy.

I am tired of the Department slow walking key reforms that would improve its efficiency and effectiveness.

We cannot help but conclude there is an orchestrated effort to obscure the facts from Congress.

I respectfully disagree.

It appears to many of us that the Department under President Biden is more concerned with pursuing its own arbitrary DEI goals than results focused efforts to modernize its operations and work force.
