Dana Rohrabacher

it is quite disconcerting that our own President can't use the term 'radical Islamic terrorism.'

We are not going to correct the situation. It won't get better unless we are willing to step up and basically let the American people know who is the bad guy and who is the good guy in this age of terrorism.

I say that the Saudi royal family has made itself clear that they do not deserve the benefit of the doubt because of all of their actions they have been involved in.

I very much appreciate Chairman Thornberry's acceptance of my amendments No. 100 and No. 125. The first recognizes the heroic efforts of the Pakistani doctor, Dr. Afridi, who helped us bring to justice Osama bin Laden, the prime mover in…

We are in a country where we do respect each other when we have disagreements and that is one of the things that makes our country great.

I think that this is a murky issue. It is not cut and dry.

Amendment to S. 284 offered by the Honorable Dana Rohrabacher, a Representative in Congress from the State of California.

Shouldn't we actually be getting those jobs done before we spend billions of dollars to try to get to Mars to plant our flag and come back?

we should be very proud that we are setting an international standard and not confuse it by adding one case.

I do disagree with you on a couple of things but let me note that's good. That's what these hearings are all about is to get different points of view out.

I have always been a proud supporter of human rights measures throughout my career.

I think it is time we reclaim our honor, and I support this resolution, H. Res. 650.

What we should be talking about is basically, when we are talking about whether this title is appropriate, what are our standards of truth in this case?

the fact is this bill isn't just about Russia. It is about setting an international standard.

the name of the bill should be, instead of that, should be Human Rights Accountability Act and not anybody's name.

my amendment is very simple. I mean, it would change the name of the bill simply by removing the word 'Magnitsky' from the bill.

If we had time. That's the big 'if.'

I hope that we make sure that we don't waste dollars on things that we don't accomplish anything with.

It has been a black mark on our country on many occasions when we did not stick by the people who stuck by us.

I rise in support of the legislation and what it is trying to accomplish.

I believe that would--what we are talking about would dramatically expand the employee ownership and--of their own stock and their own companies.

This would encourage that type of broad ownership, help working people, help our companies have stable employment with good employees.

Honest people can disagree with that, so thank you.

I am a bit concerned maybe not about specifics as about as much as your admirable optimism.

What I consider to be aggression--aggression of the world order because you had no sovereignty over the Spratly Islands.
