Now is the time for us to play the role that the War Powers Act provides, because this is not an immediate short-term emergency situation. It has gone on for much longer than 60 days. It should not go further. Now, 208 Members of this…

We will soon vote on an amendment which I offered last night. It simply says that none of the funds in this appropriations bill can be used in contravention of the War Powers Resolution, which is the law of the land, Public Law 93-148. The…

I had the Clerk read the whole amendment because it's just one sentence, and it's very simple. It says none of the money in this act can be used deliberately by the President to violate the law-- in particular, the war powers resolution…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: At the end of the bill, before the short title, insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act…

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. Amendment Offered by Mr. Gosar

I represent both airports in question. This is a principled amendment that deals with all airports that had curfews in effect in 1990. To say that Burbank should appeal, having spent $9 million on a dead- end rigged process, is not a…

I am so very grateful for your friendship, your support, your wonderful words, and for your leadership and service to all of us who are Marylanders and to all Americans.

I never doubted his love for our country, and he never doubted mine, either privately or publicly.

I know that there is a desire in both countries to move forward, as difficult as their domestic politics sometimes make that.

I think that's important, not only for India, but for all of us in terms of the security of the region.

If confirmed, I will continue to criticize where criticism is warranted.

I share your deep concern about delivering justice to the families of the victims of the Pan Am 103 bombing.

In 1993 the chairman was Senator Claiborne Pell, who always carried a copy of the United Nations Charter in his pocket, proudly pulling it out and reminding us all how we must all work for peace and prosperity.

I want to begin by thanking President Obama and Secretary Clinton for their confidence and, with your support, for the opportunity once again to serve our country.

I certainly understand. I do believe, Senator, that there is an absolute commitment to justice.

The pace and scope and character of it is up to, of course, India and Pakistan and we can't prescribe for them exactly how to proceed.

We think that was a mistake. We urged them to remain and we urged them to continue to participate.

This is a very important issue and if confirmed it will be one of my top priorities.

The political change in Libya is an opportunity for the Libyan people to start anew and for the successor government to embrace democratic reforms.

I think that the administration is heartened by the fact that there have now been three very significant meetings between India and Pakistan.

It makes no sense to have talks just for the sake of talks. North Korea must keep its commitments that it made in 2005 to really move forward to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

I was relieved yesterday when doctors said that they were confident that the assassin had not taken Gabby's life. And I am confident that that assassin did not take from our people the right to peaceably assemble and to tell their elected…

We come together today as a Nation to mourn those who died in Arizona and to pray for the full recovery of those still lying in hospital beds in Tucson. Gabby Giffords has captured the love and admiration of this entire country as America…
