I have raised with High Commissioner Guterres on several occasions the unavailability of UNHCR personnel to assist Montagnard and others who seek protection.

It is kind of ironic, I guess. Many years ago I was a company commander, spent a long time, as I said, as a leader of troops and marines, 1st Battalion, 8th Marines, which happened to be the unit that was blown up by Hezbollah in 1983, and…

I am more worried, quite frankly, about what comes about on March 27th. That is the appropriations process.

Quite frankly, that is our job. That is Congress' job. It is not the President's job.

As I've stated before, I voted against the Budget Control Act because I knew we would be here today discussing these types of harsh consequences that I just covered, and I have been working aggressively with my colleagues on this committee…

Americans want Washington to tighten their belt. And to do that, we need to find waste.

I am looking for actual suggestions which would be a major policy initiative to improve the efficiency of the procurement forces.
