But the fact is that what you need to do if we are going to have peace is to stop going with that belligerent attitude and try to find solutions.

I would like to thank our chairman, Mr. Royce, and Mr. Engel for calling this hearing.

Neither one of those countries is going to succeed as long as there is violence and force.

This is the 20th anniversary of the fall of communism in the Soviet Union. Let me note, I spent my entire life trying to reach that day.

I see that as an institution that could serve us well in trying to find solutions or trying to find compromises when we are in a conflict situation.

I think just shipping more weapons into Ukraine is going to make things worse.

A lot of the issues that we talk about in foreign policy... is more sometimes practical, but it has to be practical mixed with what is moral.

I think that what we have here is, after the fall of communism in Russia, things for whatever happened, whatever reason, over the years, instead of trying to help Russia become part of Western Europe...

I think trying our hardest to bring peace between Ukraine and Russia, that type of approach is going to do much more in the long-term.

So what we have to do is find a way for a compromise where they can actually end these hostilities.

We need to have discussions like this on basics, and your leadership is certainly making sure that we get that type of discussion.

I think that the--it doesn't really make sense for us to be funding big companies to help them move through the licensing process, which is basically a federal process, so we're giving grants to people to help them deal with the federal…

What also deserves attention as far as I'm concerned is the future of nuclear energy in this country.

Instead of going about the regulatory and trying to stamp out the use of CO2, we're going to find it's much more effective for mankind to find useful purposes for CO2.

I would hope that--again, I think the Moon is close by and whatever we can actually get a benefit of going back there, we should before you take the next step.

It indicates that there hasn't been a real finding out of what priorities we need.

The fact that we can actually provide a fuel for something that far away indicates that maybe we have some knowledge that's going to really help us here.

I believe those two space projects have inspired generations of Americans now, and who knows how much more productive our people are.

Well, we know now people are trying to frighten us and others not to meet with people and not to talk to people. I wonder why. As far as I am concerned, I don't have just a blind trust in whatever our intelligence agencies give us. Let me…

I am sorry that my two colleagues refused to yield any time when they are talking, especially when they are using phrases like naked partisanship. That is very interesting, isn't it? We could have had a nice dialog here. I was asking for a…

I am the chairman, as I mentioned, of the Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia, and Emerging Threats. I am a senior member also of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee. I am here, basically, to discuss emerging technology that is…

It seems to me that that is what is being said: because those people are so sinister, you don't listen to them; or, the whole act is sinister, it may be legal. In reality, we are talking about one person meeting with another who may have…

One of the reasons that their countries are poor is because they have oppressed women.

Well, let's just note--Mr. Chairman, thank you. And we note here that on Capitol Hill it was a female police officer that saved the lives of several Members of Congress who were under attack.

If you oppress women you are oppressing one half of your population and thus you are cutting yourself off from a lot of economic activity.
