Do not hold UNFPA responsible for what a sovereign country does, as obnoxious as it is, unless you have an allegation of advocacy and support that has not yet been presented.

We cannot turn our back on this important work that stands up for women's rights and helps protect women's lives.

This is nothing short of a smear campaign against an international organization of which we are a member that promotes and protects the health of women and their children all over the world.

A human rights violation is a human rights violation, irrespective of status.

President Obama is President Bush on steroids.

opening statement

I think our country needs us working together to find every penny that we can find that would help with our national debt and deficit situation.

I discovered a 1970 law that says when we take horses off Federal lands, we can't humanely euthanize them.

I thought that is what reauthorization was, that if you ran out of authorization, that was a sunset.

We have got to take a look at the role of government.

I have learned here, at least what I have been told, is that if we have a law on the books as a result of these rules, we have to fund that whether we have the money or not.

I am always reminded, Mr. Chairman, that every budget, whether it be a person's budget or a business budget or a State budget or a Federal budget, every budget eventually balances.

The challenge here that we are trying to deal with is: are we as a country going to balance our budget by wise policy or are we going to allow cataclysmic financial failure to balance it for us, and that is, indeed, the question.

I believe he is correct. That is why we are here today because the Congress has ignored every other mechanism, and the most powerful mechanism we have is a constitutional amendment.

But let me also suggest to you that if had not been for Federal meddling and for Federal policy related to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, there wouldn't have been a real estate bubble in Arizona.

it's not just peace and stability in the Straits, it is explicit in the statutory commitment to the defense capability of Taiwan?

That's ridiculous. And as I said before, it's insulting to the Taiwanese people and that ought to be changed.

I can say with certainty that you are much admired in Taiwan for your friendship and your tireless support of democracy in the region and around the world.
