I have been very impressed with Vice President Biden's persistent, engaged, effective leadership on the issues in the Northern Triangle, and it is my hope that that will be sustained into the next administration and by members of this…

I am looking forward to the second panel where we are going to hear, frankly, about U.N. suppression of whistleblowers and the real likelihood that these abuses are far more widespread than has so far been reported.

I could not agree more. And as someone who has fought for the appropriations for peacekeeping, I am ashamed that we have been supporting peacekeepers who are doing horrible things.

I think accountability matters first before training.

Thank you, Chairman Corker and Ranking Member Cardin, for both convening this hearing and for your persistence...

So just to be clear, Chairman Massad, cops on the beat, surveillance staff, IT, looking at the crude oil market, and futures and swaps, one.

Both your agencies were granted under Dodd-Frank whistleblower capabilities. And you've had some significant success here that's led to some critical information.

Market users, financial investors, and the U.S. economy all rely on vigilant oversight by your two agencies in today's fast-paced, evolving, and often volatile, global marketplace.

Our economy has made notable progress in emerging from the financial crisis, but just because we're recovering doesn't mean we've let down our guard by allowing a return to the same practices that led to the crisis in the first place.

Short-changing your two agencies, in my view, would be exceedingly irresponsible.

I wouldn't expect you to take sides. I would expect you to enforce the rules.

You're asking for increases, but you are not just deficit-neutral, you actually return money to the Federal budget.

Thank you, Chairman Boozman.

And I'm just amazed. I'm actually cast back listening to you all today.

U.S. leadership, I think is critical in organizing to do these things; to bring international public and private sectors together.

We're talking about failed states, governance issues, and so on.

I would like to thank Senator Leahy and Senator Graham for your tremendous leadership.

Thank you, Chairman Flake and Ranking Member Markey, for convening this important hearing and for staying engaged and being such leaders on this important issue.

We have been doing this since the time of PEPFAR. And we seem to like disease-specific earmarks.

I agree totally, there should be a global health czar that has power over the interagency and the budgetary tools needed to assure that all the agencies are moving in the same direction.

Well, thank you, Doctor. And thank you for your particularly brave and persistent and powerful work, along with Paul Farmer and the Partners in Health.

I do think, Dr. Knight, the establishment by the U.S. Public Health Service, which has been sort of an unsung hero of this, of the treatment facility out at Robertson Airport, was especially critical, because it allowed international…

Ebola is not over, the conditions that create it have not gone away, and, if anything, we need to double down on the investments we are making, and make them count.

We commend President Sirleaf for her terrific work in leading the effort to deploy community health workers across the country

We should also be investing, simultaneously, in a response to Zika
