The military's decline in effectiveness in Nigeria is really traced to fear that the political leadership has to military coup.

I have introduced legislation, the Future of America Innovation and Research Act, the FAIR Act, which allows the owner of a trade secret to bring civil action in Federal court against the person who stole the trade secret if the bad actor…

We appreciate the effort by Senator Flake to highlight the continued problem of trade secret theft that occurs abroad.

I do not see American travel as some kind of a reward for good behavior on behalf of the Cuban Government.

Let us simply allow Americans to travel to Cuba, and we would achieve in my view--and this is not your call to make.

I applaud this administration for doing that, much better in my view than the last administration.

I could not agree more. And that is why I have opposed our policy on Cuba for so long.

Thank you for, in both your written and oral testimony, talking about the carbon footprint, if you will, for every African and how much lower it is.

There's no question that we have to be able to demonstrate that this is the right way to go forward.

Unilateral sanctions rarely work.

We need our P5+1 partners, and others, to participate with us here.

If there is no other way to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon than for us to engage in military action, hopefully with others, I am going to vote yes on that.

I have not signed on to the new sanctions bill, here. I believe that, if diplomacy can work, we ought to allow it to work.

One of the most difficult questions I face at home from constituents and others is about this new legislation.
