I cannot support this rushed amendment that allows the U.S. to wade back into another conflict without a serious, informed discussion of the United States' military role in combating ISIL. We need to fully debate and discuss actions we as…
I want to add my thanks to the work that has been done up to now. I became an original cosponsor of the USA FREEDOM Act because I was disturbed about the revelations of surveillance programs. The bill was a good step toward balancing…
I would think the American people would recognize that services rendered to the United States should be paid.
I believe it is particularly important that the report incorporates both excellence and equity.
I think there is a lot of communities under Asian Americans, AAPI, are still in great need and should be subject to considerations such as affirmative action enrollment.
The administration's effort to close that wage gap by prioritizing pay equity for women and minorities is laudable.
Isn't there a way that we can fund a process where local law enforcement can be trained and then the kits can be uploaded to CODIS?
My sense about your stance on due process is that you want to do the best that you can, and that is costly.
This is about saving people from indescribable pain and bringing to justice people who would visit that pain on innocent victims.
I support this process, and I hope my colleagues will support my efforts to make it the permanent solution to the debt crisis. I urge a ``no'' vote on the resolution, but I support this process that allows it. {time} 1815

The Republic of Korea embraces its role as one of the world's wealthiest nations with the capacity and the responsibility to contribute to resolving global problems.
The U.S.-Republic of Korea comprehensive strategic partnership is based on our common values, our shared interests, and trust built up over decades of cooperation.
We are committed to the de-nuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, but we also remain deeply concerned about the dire human rights situation in North Korea.
How can anyone be convinced that a problem does not exist or current prevention policies are working if there is no method of monitoring or evaluating it?
I believe that the U.S. military has fallen into a culture that is blind to the damages that hazing and harassment cause to our own service members.
The crucial issue of hazing and harassment in the military must be addressed immediately and the culture that tolerates them must be reversed.
We must act now to ensure that the Department of Defense has effective and continuous training for all ranks.
I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from California will be postponed. Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Chairman, I move that the Committee do now…
