It's a big enough issue for us to have a policy discussion and not be tied into the funding discussion.

It is foolhardy for the Obama administration to tie the hands and so firmly rule out the possibility of air controllers and special operators on the ground.

I think the barbarism and the threat that ISIL poses really became real for people in this country...

I certainly intend to support the request for funding to train-and-equip vetted opposition groups in Syria.

We know how to prevent it from spreading.

The chances of an Ebola outbreak here in the United States are extremely low.

Ebola is now an epidemic of the likes that we have not seen before.

Every outbreak of Ebola over the past 40 years has been contained, and we are confident that this one can—and will be—as well.

Our strategy is predicated on four key goals: Controlling the epidemic at its source in West Africa; Mitigating second-order impacts; Engaging and coordinating with a broader global audience; Fortifying global health security…

H.R. 2 runs contrary to the Administration's commitment to promoting safe and responsible domestic oil and gas development.

The bill would impose other unnecessary requirements on agencies that would seriously undermine their ability to execute their statutory mandates.

I am fully in favor of auto-enrollment pension plans, but less-educated workers are less likely to be offered pensions on the job.

So, really, it's mankind against ISIL, it's just not us against ISIL or Sunni Arab states against ISIL.

I'm a very robust Article 2 guy, but I think this is a pretty robust reading of the current AUMF.

Do you agree with me this is probably our last best chance to put these guys in a box and keep them there?

What does it mean to the world if we take on ISIL and they defeat the people we send in to take them all? That's a bad day for us, do you agree?

You take all the territory they hold, you take Mosul and Fallujah away from them.
