A lot of us are troubled at the ATF's process and intent regarding this proposed ban.

I believe it is time to reverse this trend.

I believe that we can all agree that community banks and credit unions play a vital role in our local economies.

I hope this Committee will produce that sort of movement.

If a regulation's costs outweigh its benefits, I believe it should be thrown out.

the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs has adopted rules governing its procedures for the 114th Congress. Pursuant to rule XXVI, paragraph 2, of the Standing Rules of the Senate, on behalf of myself and Senator Brown, I ask…

The Iranian threat to walk away from the negotiations if deadline-triggered sanctions are imposed is, in fact, counter-historical.

the Administration seems to be chasing this deal, in other words, wanting a deal perhaps more than Iran wants a deal.

we cannot answer all those questions today, but I appreciate the panel today.

the phrase is batted around a lot by this Administration and others that it is unacceptable--whatever that means--for Iran to have nuclear weapons.

I cannot imagine a higher risk versus reward scenario than this agreement.

I am concerned that Iran, which is designated by the State Department as the world's leading sponsor of terrorism for so many years, continues to derail negotiations based on its so-called right to develop nuclear technology.
