Our President will be meeting with heads of state in Europe to discuss next steps, but this would give the President the ability to freeze those assets.

I think we have taken a decisive step to create those second thoughts, to create that leverage.

This bipartisan legislation which currently has over 60 co-sponsors reinforces our nation's unwavering support for Taiwan.

This is Putin's power base. Expropriation, corrupt government contracts, bribery, it is all rampant and it is all despised by the Russian people.

The IMF, I believe, is absolutely vital to our national security because a strong U.S. economy and a strong U.S. global economic leadership is critical to our strength around the world and to our national security.

Let's seek peace with these people and seek cooperation, and it will make it a better world.

Failure to pass IMF reform legislation more than 3 years after we helped design the reforms is undermining our international credibility.

H.R. 494 affirms the importance of the Taiwan Relations Act.

Implementation of the 2010 IMF reforms preserves the U.S. veto power and our leadership position without increasing our overall financial commitment of the IMF.

If you are well connected to the prior President in the Ukraine you could get loans at 3 percent.

I want to thank the gentleman from Virginia for his suggestion, and I will recognize him in a moment to explain the language.

I believe the reason the Russians cooperate with us on nonproliferation is because they perceive that as being in their own self-interest.

It is possible for Taiwan to be free and independent. It is possible for us to make that happen, and I think that we should continue to do so.

Either we're talking to them or we're not talking to them, and we're not talking to them by shutting off our conversation with them.

I want to make certain that Taiwan is part of that agreement.

America's support for Taiwan is now more important than ever, and it is vital that we speak with one voice.

It is my sincere hope that the administration will take a more proactive stance on Taiwan, including working with Taiwan so that it can join the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

To us, the Asia-Pacific region is vitally important.

I strongly believe that Taiwan should be included in the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

It is going to serve as a strong symbol of American support, and that is why I strongly support this.

As the author of this resolution, I rise today to honor the life of a rather extraordinary man, Vaclav Havel. As we watch the crisis unfolding in Ukraine, I think it is important to reflect upon the life of the man who led the people of…

Havel's zeal for liberating oppressed people did not diminish in later years, when he continued to advocate for democratic reforms in places such as Belarus, Burma, Cuba, and Iran. In reference to his role as a democratic activist, Havel…

I would like to begin by thanking the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Keating) for his work on this resolution, as well as our ranking member of the committee, Eliot Engel of New York, and also recognize the long, hard work that…

I believe this is a critical moment. The U.S., our European allies and the international community must stand up for Ukraine's unity and territorial integrity.

And the best way to do it is what is in this resolution, calling for an election in which everyone goes to the polls, and a legislature which is representative.
