John McCain

Do you think this is acceptable?

This committee and this Chairman are tired of the way that Congress, in general, and this committee is treated by this administration.

I do not believe rushing to separate the dual-hat in the final months of an administration is appropriate.

I have heard this song before about, well, other people are going to do it. Therefore, we should not do it. I do not accept that argument.

We set the pace, and we are the ones who dictate the terms because we happen to be the largest market in the world.

If we did a commission, it would be at least a year, at best. The point is this issue is not so complicated.

I know it when I see it is one of the phrases that was used.

I want to emphasize to you, sir, that I view this issue as one of the most compelling for a whole variety of reasons.

We made the mistake of inaction once before; we must not make it again.

I hope he will reconsider in the future so that this committee can benefit from the widest possible variety of perspectives.

If we do not drive the rules, they will.

Who's been bombing the moderates? Is it--this stuff, you can't make up. It's staggering.

I think we should continue to support our membership.

I'm confident that, with American leadership and persuasion, we can shape this alliance.

NATO functions best when the United States provides leadership.

There is a need for greater U.S. leadership in NATO.

I disagree with those that say NATO is obsolete. It is imperfect, but it is also capable of innovation.

This hearing is a very timely one, given the President and Secretary of Defense's departure for Warsaw for a NATO summit.

NATO cannot be reactive in the 21st century.

American leadership is important to convince our allies to take on a greater share of the security burden.

Parts of the North Fork of the White River will be reduced to a trickle by 2020.

I want to invite Senator Barrasso and Senator Tester out to visit the White Mountain Apache Tribe, which is one of the most beautiful parts of our State, far more beautiful than anything in their States.

The bill would amend provisions of the Tribe's Indian water settlement, the White Mountain Apache Tribe Water Rights Quantification Act of 2010.

We need to ensure that federal policies support the self-determination of tribes.

It is very clear here that we need to get this dam built if your Tribe is going to have the lifestyle which is dictated by an adequate supply of water.
