Exactly. So the point we are trying to make to the President and the Members of this body is that Iran is on a rampage without a nuclear weapon. Clearly they are not a moderate regime trying to live peacefully with their neighbors. They…

Let me not only say why I agree, but here is what is about to happen in the Mideast. Because of our lack of leadership, the Iranians have gone on a rampage. My colleague had a very august group of people today--some of the smartest people…

Well, all I can say is it would be like telling a North Korean to speak up. That may be a bit of an extreme example, but not too much. The point we are trying to make to President Obama is that if he believes there is a moderate element in…

If I could give my best answer to that, No. 1--and my colleague from Arizona has been more right than wrong for the last 4 years about what was going to happen in the Mideast if we made the choices the President made--No. 1, my colleague…

Thank you, Chairman Price, for your extraordinary leadership. Mr. Chairman, I am grateful today to join with my House Armed Services Committee colleagues and speak in support of Chairman Price's defense alternative budget, Price 2. As the…

I am grateful to celebrate the strong relationship between Taiwan and the United States. With the 70th anniversary of the ending of World War II this year and the 36th anniversary of the Taiwan Relations Act on April 10, we can reflect how…

I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 216. I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. President, I raise an issue before the body. I don't know how accurate the press reports are, but apparently the Chief of Staff of President Obama, Mr. McDonough, today spoke in town to a group called J Street, which is an organization…

Mr. President, Sanders amendment No. 323 is pending, and Senators should expect a vote in relation to that amendment at 12 noon tomorrow, with at least one additional rollcall vote in the stack before lunch. I ask unanimous consent that…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate be in a period of morning business, with Senators permitted to speak therein for up to 10 minutes each. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The Senator from…

Thank you, Chairman Kline, for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the chairman's leadership on this important issue, and I am grateful to be a cosponsor of this legislation. As a member of the House Education and the Workforce…

Yesterday, as cochairman of the French Caucus, I had the opportunity to escort French Ambassador Gerard Araud across South Carolina, where he met enthusiastic citizens of French heritage along with business leaders who appreciate our…

I was hosting French Ambassador Gerard Araud in South Carolina where we visited French business investments across the Second Congressional District creating thousands of jobs. Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye'' on H.R…

I often refer to this Hall as America's classroom. I do that because I do believe that, as we conduct ourselves here on this floor, it is to set an example for all citizens, especially our young citizens, who look in on our proceedings and…

Mr. President, just to sum it up, our foreign policy is in a free-for-all. It is incompetent at its core. No one can feel good about Shia-led groups going into Tikrit with Iranian command and control. If we know anything about Iraq, the…

All I can say is to the soldiers and to the military personnel who participated in the Iraq fight, you did your job. President Bush made mistakes. To his credit, he adjusted. He made a lot of mistakes upfront, but he did adjust because the…
