We should have learned our lesson and you do not negotiate with the Iranian mullah regime as long as it is holding the hostages.

I don't think that they pay any attention to the expressions of sympathy and solidarity that we have heard today.

My amendment calls for a study analyzing our approach to third-party liability with regard to spaceflight participants. The study will identify issues, options to address those issues, consequences of those options, and the potential cost…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 14, after line 12, insert the following new section: SEC. 106. INDEPENDENT STUDY OF INDEMNIFICATION…

Let me note that the commercial space industry has not cost us taxpayers' money. The commercial space industry has generated billions and billions of dollars worth of income to honest citizens who then pay their taxes--who wouldn't have…

I thank the gentlewoman for giving us the idea for this study in the first place, and I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Smith), the chairman of the committee.

Are we being as supportive as we should be to President al-Sisi in his efforts to, number one, create a stable Egypt, and, number two, make sure that Egypt has the weapons and the equipment necessary to play a positive role in that region?

What happens in Egypt will determine the future not only of the Middle East but of the world.

I believe it is just that historic an event that we are looking at that if we do not do what is right could lead to a historic catastrophe in the sense of the instability and the bloodshed that it could create on a global scale.

There is only person and one regime and one government that stands in the way of that, and that is President al-Sisi of Egypt.

I guess we have to look closer to home to find gerrymandering, don't we? Not very far.

I think it was wrong, it was the wrong message, and it was kind of breaking, breaking the solidarity and the unity of our alliance.

I think the way in which we have singled out Hungary and gone after areas where we do have some disagreements has actually caused more anti-Americanism inside Hungary.

So a government without checks and balances like the United States is itself more authoritarian.

The relationship between Hungary and the United States is vital to both nations.

The United States and Hungary are allies and friends, and that will not change.

Congress should look more closely at Russian influence throughout the region and the pernicious effect that that has had on human rights.

Let us just put it this way, they wouldn't be coming to you with customers if they were not benefitting?

I believe that that is encouraging dictatorship and the worst kind of a situation.

We should be careful in pushing the American agenda, whatever that is, on other countries, whether they are friends or not friends.

We want to stop Putin from disrupting Europe, imposing authoritarianism at home, invading neighboring countries, tearing up Ukraine.

They are more traditional Catholics, and they were elected by a huge majority so they would pass laws that reflected the culture and values of their people.

I think that people shouldn't raid NGOs.

That is not the choice of the United States, nor should it be the choice of the United States what type of government, either left of center, far left, right, right of center should be made.
