I am very pleased that you are here to talk about--it is a little change of pace; let's put it that way.

I personally don't believe this is going to be settled by the military.

We won't be able to defeat ISIL over the long term without a more forceful U.S. policy toward the Assad regime.

As South Florida residents, you couldn't have asked for a better and more determined representative for your cause than Ted Deutch.

We will not give up the fight to bring Bob home to you and all of his loved ones and friends.

As we know, the U.S. has been negotiating in secret with this sadistic dictatorship for now 20 months, because it is still secret.

What is the point of negotiations, then, if we say we are negotiating, we have no illusions, let's see where this leads us?

How will I explain to my three little girls that their U.S. Marine Vietnam veteran grandfather was denied the only justice for his murder when Gerardo Hernandez was set free, pardoned, and returned to Cuba?

I hope that when you are negotiating with the Castro regime you keep in mind U.S. law.

How can Marlene Alejandre explain to her daughters why their grandfather who was killed by the Castro regime, his life meant nothing?

It was a false impression because you were never going to do that.

Only in Castro's Cuba could the arrest of 178 people in 1 month be considered a victory.

I am proud to join my south Florida colleague, Congressman Ted Deutch, in a resolution commemorating today, the International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi extermination camp at Auschwitz…

the first sanctions that the U.S. began imposing against Iran were terrorism related.

For years, Iran used a secret facility at Fordow, built into the side of a mountain to advance their nuclear program.

I support Speaker Boehner's invitation to Prime Minister Netanyahu to address this body to discuss the Iranian threat and the growing instability in the Middle East due to the rise of global jihadist networks. A nuclear-capable Iran will…

Iran support for terror has not waned, has actually increased.

Tehran calculates that President Obama is more willing to blame Congress for the talks failing.

Even if we are successful in delaying nuclear capability for Iran to a year or 2, will that be enough to assuage other countries in the region like the Saudis, the Emiratis, from seeking their own nuclear capability?

I thank the gentlelady for yielding. I also want to thank Mr. Smith and my colleagues and all who are in Washington, D.C., participating in the March for Life for their unwavering commitment and support to fight on behalf of those who have…

As an 8-year-old child, I was forced to flee Havana, Cuba, with my family for the shores of the United States of America, this shining city on a hill and a beacon of hope and freedom to the world. The Cuban American Members of Congress are…

It is truly astonishing that President Obama is asking Congress and the American people to applaud and reward the Castro regime for releasing 53 innocent people from its gulags today while ignoring the fact that over 1,000 were arrested…

Thank you so much, Mr. Diaz-Balart. You so eloquently stated that. We have so much to say, and we have run out of time. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair will remind Members not to refer…

Thank you so much, Mr. Rohrabacher. And you so rightly point out that hours after President Obama announced, in a shocking way, that we would resume diplomatic relations with Cuba and the Castro regime does not have to change, Raul Castro…

Thank you so much, Mr. Mooney. We are a better Congress for you being a part of it. Thank you so much for being proud of your American heritage and your Cuban American ancestry as well. So, welcome to Congress, sir. Mr. Speaker, I am about…
