I do have a few more speakers. I am now pleased to yield 1 minute to the ranking member of the Europe and Eurasia Subcommittee of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the gentleman from New York (Mr. Meeks).

I am pleased to yield 3 minutes to my friend from Oregon (Mr. Blumenauer).

I am very pleased to yield 1 minute to the gentlelady from Maryland (Ms. Edwards).

I am very pleased to yield 1 minute to the Delegate from American Samoa, the ranking member of the Asia and the Pacific Subcommittee of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Mr. Faleomavaega. (Mr. FALEOMAVAEGA asked and was given permission…

I am pleased to yield 1 minute to the gentleman from New Jersey, an individual who knows a lot about this subject, Mr. Holt. {time} 1810

I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the minority whip, my friend from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer).

I thank the gentlewoman for the inquiry. The President is the Commander in Chief. There is no authorization for the use of force. Contrary to what was said earlier by my friend from Ohio, whatever one thought about the decision to go to…

I am pleased to yield 1 minute to a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, my friend from Florida (Mr. Deutch).

Absolutely not. This resolution is no way intended and in no way can it be interpreted as an authorization for the use of military force. It is a nonbinding resolution that endorses a diplomatic resolution to the Iranian nuclear program…

I yield myself an additional 30 seconds. In fact, we have no choice but to stop Iran's nuclear weapons program before it ever reaches that point. Mr. Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues to support this important resolution. I reserve the…

I thank the Speaker. I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the other expert from New Jersey (Mr. Andrews). (Mr. ANDREWS asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)

I am not worried that somehow China is going to beat us out.

I am very pleased to yield 2 minutes to my friend from New York (Mr. Israel).

I am very pleased to yield 3 minutes to the very distinguished member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, the ranking member of the Western Hemisphere Subcommittee, on a resolution that does not affect--well, it does affect the Western…

I am very pleased to yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), the other main cosponsor of this legislation, our Democratic whip, a leader for so many years on the issue of the U.S.-Israel relationship.

I yield myself 30 additional seconds. And reinforcing that commitment to Israel's security, this bill extends for 4 years a loan guarantee program for Israel that was initiated in 2003, an extension based on legislation that Chairman Ros…

We've had a group of speakers come down to the floor, including the majority leader, the Democratic whip, the chair of the committee, and a number of other Members to talk about our solidarity with Israel, the U.S.-Israel relationship, the…

When you look at cyber space... it is a field that advantages asymmetric actors.

Iran has an overabundance [of intent], because unlike the scenario in our foreign policy that we have with China, and with Russia now where conflicts do exist, where we have a stable diplomatic relationship.

This does remain one of our objectives there, I take it?
