Ed Royce

Amendment to H.R. 4314 offered by the Honorable Edward R. Royce, a Representative in Congress from the State of California, and chairman, Committee on Foreign Affairs.

The nuclear deal was a bad deal, and we don't need to make this deal worse by lifting sanctions in unrelated matters.

The administration told us while pursuing a nuclear deal that it would not let up the pressure on Iran's ballistic missile program, nor would it let up the pressure on terrorism that was supported by Iran.

And, again, we need to move this forward. And I think it will literally save many lives, not around the world only, but in this country as well.

Since the Obama administration completed the Iran nuclear deal, Iran has taken a series of steps that I think were unanticipated by most of us.

I support the Counterterrorism Screening Assistance Act because the foreign-fighter problem is not a problem we can solve by ourselves.

Last year, the horrific terrorist attack in Paris, I think, showed us how easy it has become for terrorists and for foreign fighters to move across open borders.

The situation is such that these violations of U.N. sanctions are coming at the same time when, in a few weeks, Iran is going to receive out of escrow tens of billions in sanctions relief.

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of this measure. In particular, I want to thank the gentleman from North Carolina, Mr. Mark Meadows, for being an early leader on this issue, focusing on…

I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Ros-Lehtinen), the chair of the Foreign Affairs' Subcommittee on the Middle East and North Africa.

Wouldn't Pakistan be better served addressing this issue of shutting down these 600 schools?

We have the National Action Plan that has been set up by the government. I asked the Congressional Research Service about that particular plan.

Again, it was revealed yesterday that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security actually prohibited immigration officials from reviewing the social media postings of all foreign citizens applying for U.S. visas and only sporadically began…

Beijing needs to understand we're going to keep our commitment with respect to the Taiwan Relations Act.

I believe Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter have a responsibility to make sure that their platforms are not used by terrorists.

I am recently back from London, where I had an opportunity to speak to British authorities about the challenge that Europeans find themselves in at this point in time. There are literally 5,000 Europeans who have gone to fight in Syria and…

You are too stove-piped.

With safe haven, terrorists have the time and space to indoctrinate, plan, and strengthen.

I think that would be helpful. I think it is very clear that as the Federal Housing Finance Agency says, at the end of the day, there is a clear benefit in getting credit risk transfers to get more private capital back in here for this…

It is time for a broad, overarching strategy for Syria and beyond Syria.
