I think this was a great example of how the rapid response capability that you were given makes it possible for you to indeed effectively and rapidly respond.

Does the United States stay the course? Do we address not just immediate or emergent humanitarian crises, but do we remain engaged in a leadership role?

I am deeply disappointed by the senseless violence, by the widespread humanitarian challenge, and by the rapidly expanding political challenge in South Sudan.

We have cautioned Ugandan friends that they do have to be careful and need to be conscious of their actions.

Admirable. It would be great if this institution was also thorough and prompt.

I strongly endorse Senator Blumenthal's leadership on suggesting that we would strengthen transparency in the performance of the FISA Courts by having a public advocate.

Thank you for your tireless work on keeping us safe from the cyber threat.

I come to the floor once again to talk about manufacturing jobs. This week, under Senator Amy Klobuchar's leadership, the Joint Economic Committee released a report that thoroughly and thoughtfully lays out why manufacturing jobs have such…

If we could dedicate six years to getting the AIA right, I think we could dedicate a few more months to making sure that we get this topic right and that we find a narrowly tailored solution to address what I think is a real challenge with…

If we were to adopt all the provisions that are in the House bill--fee shifting, discovery limitations, customer stays--in your view, for your company, the ability to the raise the capital to continue with innovation would be significantly…

I would like to thank Chairman Leahy for convening this, and I would like to thank our panel.

Thank you, Senator Feinstein, and I want to thank Chairman Leahy for holding this important hearing.

I have heard concern... from a number of small inventors, and from some very large players in medical devices and pharmaceuticals.

One of the things that has failed, in that broad review of the many things that have failed, is the state, the entire mechanism of the state.

I want to thank you in particular for your great testimony today on the evolving humanitarian crisis in CAR.

Is he a figure we should be particularly focused on and concerned about?

Supporting the political transition... will have to occur by February 2015, but that is going to be an enormous challenge.

Are we at real risk of this spiraling into a dramatically larger conflict within CAR or regionally?

My hope is that there are lessons learned here, both by the American Atrocities Prevention Board and by the United Nations.

How do you see the political trajectory here in terms of pulling apart the forces and continuing with some stabilization?

CAR is going to need significant international support for the political transition, governmental institutions.

The CAR Government, the transitional authorities, are desperate for resources for reconstruction, for transitional tasks.

Let us focus, if we might, on the U.N. role and where it might go in terms of security.
