What happens when the United States remains silent? What happens is repression and torture and the expansion of dictatorship, and, in the end, it makes the United States vulnerable. We have sat back and permitted the Chinese to take…

Sensitive information not given to the people elected by the voters of this country is an insult to the people.

Today I rise to draw the attention of my colleagues and, yes, the American people to a legislative threat to the safety and well-being of the American people. We dodged a bullet in the last session of Congress about this very same issue…

We are supposed to stand for other things rather than simply corporate profit and making money.

Had he been President at the time, there would have been a phone call... that would have said, 'I am sorry, if you destroy the democracy movement in China, the deal is off.'

We let ourselves down because that cowardice that we showed in not confronting the Chinese leadership was something that we are now beginning to experience the negative side of that decision.

As Americans we should lead the way and hold out basic values so that the world... would like to have their freedom.

Let me suggest that in terms of--you heard it from our colleagues on the other side of the aisle, that the pipeline--in the past we heard--when talking about exaggerated claims, we heard the pipeline in Alaska was going to eliminate the…

I certainly disagree with the idea that CO2 is causing any change in the climate, especially manmade CO2.

Your disregard for that is arrogant and disruptive.

We're talking about a microscopic impact if there is any impact on CO2 at all on our climate.

I, and I believe science, rejects that notion, that CO2, plugged as--by the way, CO2 does not itself have a health impact on human beings.

Ninety percent of the kids who get leukemia today are cured from leukemia after a period of time. They actually will live through this. Only 40 years ago, 90 percent of the kids who got leukemia died. We have had different advances in…

At the very least if we are going to use nuclear energy, let's focus on those very promising technologies that we have not invested in yet rather than trying to perfect something that we've been basically researching for 40 and 50 years.

Focusing our limited research dollars on light water reactors is a terrible waste and misuse of limited dollars

I have appreciated working with you over the years on issues--human rights issues in Vietnam but throughout the world.

Your work and your efforts have changed many lives including thousands of Vietnam refugees in other humanitarian programs that you sponsored over the years.

When are we ever going to learn? They are Communists who control Vietnam.

It didn't work in China and it is not going to work in Vietnam.

I want to make sure that I get your advice as to what we should be doing about expanding our economic openings to Vietnam and America and whether that will help or whether that extra wealth will bolster the strength of those who oppress…

This could be an historic threat to Western civilization.

There was no excuse for them to come in with their troops.

I think that while we all--who would disagree with some very positive thing called environmentalism--what is good for the environment--there are distinct debates as to what is in the long run the best direction to go in terms of renewables…
