All right. Thank you.

We believe is the greatest threat that we face.

I think, if I were giving them advice, it would be to be vocal and brave in speaking out against the kinds of abuses that we see perpetrated by ISIS.

this is a fight that we are going to win--the fight against ISIS.

Here, in the United States, we are, as you probably know, people of many different religions.

I applaud folks of the Islamic faith--I really applaud those who are speaking up, in some cases, at risk--at real risk to your own personal safety.

The thousands of Syrian refugees... have been instrumental in the fight against ISIS.

one of the reasons why our country was established was because of the concept and the nature of freedom of religion

there are some people in this country--some political leaders--I do not know that they have read Matthew 25

I think our President has made it clear that he believes this kind of rhetoric is dangerous, it is patently false, and it plays directly into the hands of ISIS.

the United States--and our coalition forces, which now number about 60 nations--have recaptured almost 50 percent of the land that ISIS once held in Iraq and in Syria.

If all of us would sort of abide by that, since that is part of the fabric of all of our religions, we would all be a whole lot better off on this planet.

Ultimately, it has been successful.

I think it is un-American not to accept refugees.

I think we have a moral imperative here.

We need to be welcoming to them.

it is good to see the Presiding Officer this afternoon. This past weekend, Saturday, my wife and I went to New York City at the invitation of one of our sons. We visited the 9/11 Memorial in New York, literally erected on the site of the…

These provisions would have resolved this technical oversight.

Compromise is going to actually be good for our environment and be good for the health of our citizens.

I just want to start off today welcoming all of our witnesses. It is good of you to come.
