"I don't think Congress should surrender this role, because Congress has been right, and three administrations have been wrong."

"The fact is that we are told by the administration we can adopt new sanctions in a nanosecond, should we decide that that is important."

"I would point out that if we lose this game, it is not because of who was calling the plays in the final quarter. We didn't field a team for the first three quarters."

"From 1996 to 2010, although this committee did everything possible to pass new sanctions, they were stopped by three successive administrations."
