Russia used very familiar cyber espionage tactics to try to manipulate France's recent national election, tactics that we saw employed here in the United States in 2016.

I think that our way forward is to work openly with the governments, to work openly with democracy and governance.

Flexibility would be tremendously helpful.

President Trump cheered on Britain as they left the European Union and has put a U.S.-EU trade deal on ice.

I think it is difficult to overestimate a morale crisis at the Department of State today.

I think that would be an enormous strategic mistake. If Europe is to disintegrate, the responsibility for it will lie at the feet of this administration.

Diplomatic engagement is absolutely essential to ensure that we have a durable and stable status quo in Yemen.

I hope you are right, that we are going to get that trade agreement restarted.

I think it is probably in the purview of NATO. It is also in the purview of the EU.

I hope that all of your answers would be the same as Mr. Sales, that if you felt that you did not have the resources, that notwithstanding the decisions that have been made by the White House, you would argue for more resources.

I was concerned and disappointed that President Trump did not explicitly support a two-state solution in his remarks yesterday.

We have added functional bureaus, for example, as issues have arisen, but we have not integrated our approach to this new world.

So what is the best course of action to try to address insufficiencies that the administration has identified?

This is a trying time for the United States and Europe.

I just do not want us to normalize this moment.

I hope that I can convince them that they need to change their policies and they need to be more vigilant and serious about protecting intellectual property rights.

I appreciate Senator Alexander's kindness in allowing me to say a few words in support of this bill on behalf of myself and Senator Murray. I wish to congratulate Senator Alexander for once again showing how the Senate can work properly…

In his request for a Federal probe in to this mounting, appalling problem, your colleague, U.S. Senator Chris Murphy, described some of these tragic outcomes in a letter to OIG Inspector Daniel Levinson.

All this demagoguery may have made for effective electoral politics, but it will undermine our security in far-reaching ways.

I wish to thank Senator Cassidy and Senator Alexander for being such amazing partners in bringing this legislation from its introduction last summer to the floor of the House and soon to the floor of the Senate. I will say a little bit…

If these communities feel that the authorities are not on their side, then there will be fewer tips and, of course, more radicalization.

The principal danger will remain from homegrown extremists, especially those who operate alone or in very small groups.

We must not only pursue a whole-of-government approach to counter terrorism but a whole-of-government perspective as well.

I ask unanimous consent that Dr. Laura Willing, a health fellow in my office, be granted floor privileges for the remainder of the calendar year. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________
