We have a responsibility in the Congress to work toward ensuring Americans have every opportunity to compete in the world marketplace.

I think if we get both right, we would see that rising tide lift all boats.

Are you aware that the Russians are developing new weapon delivery systems to overcome any missile defense system that we would employ?

The verification component seems to be weaker than in the previous START treaty.

I am concerned that as Iran continues to export Islamic extremism and terror throughout the world they will develop relations that undermine our operations in Afghanistan.

Iran's nuclear program and developing ties with other rogue nations like Venezuela is an extremely destabilizing force.

Do you expect that the amount of troops fully deployed by August will be a sufficient complement to what you need to accomplish the mission?

Just as oil and water do not mix, neither do tar balls and tourism.

I believe the President was poorly advised.

Everything must continue to be done to stop the oil spill, but right now the States in the Gulf need money.

I want to focus specifically on a rogue state that we know, or at least we believe, is trying to arm itself with a nuclear weapon and that's Iran.

I think the challenge we have is that, as we progress in the modern world for some of these rogue states, having the capability of nuclear power even is a marquee; it is something that brands them in the higher echelon of states around the…

We cannot talk about the future of nonproliferation without discussing our U.S. policy towards Iran, which is focused primarily on preventing Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

There is significant concern of an arms race in the Middle East with countries like Saudi Arabia and others who wanted weapons.

China is not going to be a Russia at all, but we are working with them on these things that are so important, like nuclear smuggling.

The time of mutual assured destruction is over. Whether we admit it or not, the world has accepted a nuclear North Korea, and I fear we are prepared to accept a nuclear Iran.

I think we all would like to see meaningful sanctions. Up until this time, that has not been achieved.

I want to say, as a prefacatory remark, that I'm supportive of your efforts, and the administration's efforts, to reduce the amount of weapon-grade nuclear material in the world.

It seems that despite the administration's overtures to have a diplomatic solution to this, that Tehran has snubbed its nose at us and is proceeding on the path of developing a nuclear weapon.

The proliferation of nuclear, biological, chemical, or radioactive material to rogue nations or terrorist organizations is perhaps the greatest single threat to global security.

If you look at the flight paths of these trafficking planes, they're all flying over Venezuela.

I can't stress enough how much this worries me.

We see that the Government of Iran, the supreme leader, the president, the parliament, is being supplanted, and that Iran is moving toward a military dictatorship.

What specific measures has the administration taken in the last 12 months to ensure Iranian ties with the Venezuelan Government do not facilitate operations by Hezbollah and Hamas in South and Central America?

In addition to the moral support we lend activists working for civil rights in Iran, we continue to quietly help Iranians acquire the tools to create the space--on the Internet, in journalism, and in the arts--where free thought and…
