We face a tough circumstance in that we are withdrawing from Iraq.

I think it would be a terrible mistake to slash our economic assistance to Pakistan.

This behavior must stop.

I am deeply concerned about our rapidly deteriorating relationship with Islamabad and how that impacts our efforts in Afghanistan.

I support the administration's decision to pause security assistance to Islamabad until Pakistan shows real progress in combating terrorist groups.

America cannot afford a course of isolation and retreat.

I continue to have reservations about efforts to reconcile with the Taliban and al-Qaeda-affiliated groups.

I support the President's decision to withdraw all combat troops by 2014.

I would hope that we would do all we could for rural Sindh that is suffering from this year's floods.

What is our strategic interest here?

The previous administration low balled the cost of Iraq and Afghanistan and here we are well in excess of $1 trillion later.

The decision by the President to dispatch 100 military advisors to assist in the effort to address that threat is consistent, it seems to me, with congressional intent in the passage of previous legislation.

I think it's very important that we have a clear mission.

If the price goes up, the number of purchases will go down and potentially result in less revenue.

I happen to be one, too, that buys multiple duck stamps.

I think it is regulating farm dust.

I am the author of this legislation that would continue to allow hunters to electronically purchase the annual federal duck stamp required to hunt migratory waterfowl.

I want to compliment the lead cosponsor of the bill, Congressman Ron Kind (Wisconsin), for his leadership, commitment and passion for sportsman's issues and waterfowl conservation.
