Tweets from the President accusing South Korea of appeasement are counter-productive and unwise and rash.

For me, the brutal treatment of Otto Warmbier by North Korean authorities that ended in his death is an especially poignant reminder of the brutality of Kim's regime.

Mr. President, at the outset, I say to the Senator from Oklahoma that I agree with his statements with respect to the threat posed by North Korea, its nuclear weapons program, both the development of nuclear bombs and the most recent…

Mr. President, I came here to the floor to talk about the Dreamers, and I do think that it is important to start by making the point that many of those Dreamers are serving in our Armed Forces today. They have put their lives at risk for…

Yes, indeed. I think that that is exactly right. We have 28,000 American soldiers in South Korea and about 50,000 in Japan. ____________________

I just really first want to underscore how important it is for us to timely reauthorize the CHIP program.

I would point out that I was proud of Maryland in that all of our carriers included pediatric dental within the prime contracts.

One of the side benefits of the CHIP program and oral health for children is that we now have dentist access in communities that did not have that access before.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent, in order to carry out the Speaker's expressed intent, to bring up H.R. 3440, the DREAM Act, to protect DREAMers like Jean, who studies at the University…

Mr. Chair, let me say to my colleagues, this is not the way to do it. John McCain gave a compelling speech on the floor of the United States Senate as he was challenged with a brain tumor and thinking deeply about what we ought to do. And…

Mr. Chair, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Initially, I want to say that I hope that very soon, in a bipartisan way, we will bring a DACA bill to this floor. Let me quote what President Trump said last night. Trump tweeted that he…

I think it is important, when senior officials travel to Turkey, to continue meeting with those who are fighting for democracy.

I think that the private diplomacy that we conduct and whatever public criticism we have leveled against the Government of Turkey in the past--the effect has been the same.

You think there were other options for ground support effectively dealing with the Raqqa campaign other than doing it with the YPG?

The people of Turkey deserve leaders who will protect their democratic institutions.

Turkey is a critically important partner of the United States.

Turkey is a democracy, and yet when you look at how they have recently conducted their constitutional referendum, it does not meet the standards of a democratic country.

I am disappointed we do not have the people in the administration who can appear before this committee.
