On rollcall No. 369, I mistakenly voted ``no'' when I intended to vote ``yes.'' Amendment No. 5 Offered by Mr. Gosar The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business is the demand for a recorded vote on the amendment offered by the gentleman from…
I applaud this committee for their work on them. They get directly to the heart of the most important issues for this committee.
Do you foresee turning a blind eye if Russia were to invade any other sovereignty?
I want to thank the chairman for yielding me time, and the ranking member, both of the gentlemen, for their leadership, and also our Senator from Florida, Senator Rubio, for his leadership on this bill. This is a great bill, and that is…
I would not expect that President Trump has any intent to do anything other than to try to restore this relationship to something that is in the interest of the American people.

I rise on the heels of Memorial Day to discuss what we must learn from those we specifically remember on this and every Memorial Day going forward. All among us, every single person in this Chamber, every single person that visits here, we…

we constantly point to Iran using the phrase 'the largest state sponsor of terror,' and ask ourselves, what does that really mean?
A few weeks ago, I spoke in this Chamber about the threats made against Jewish community centers across this country. I rise today because, this week, we have taken bipartisan action to address these threats. As Members of Congress, we…
