This is an important amendment so that every American understands that mental health is health and that we need to care as much about the health of our bodies from our shoulders up as we do from our shoulders down. That is what people need…

The amendment is a technical amendment to address a drafting error so that it is conforming and so there will be no problems going forward.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 45, line 24, strike ``and''. In section 202(a)(2)-- (1) redesignate subparagraph (B) as subparagraph…

I thank my Florida colleague, Representative Castor, for her leadership in protecting access to high-quality healthcare in our State and across the country and for her authorship of the ENROLL Act to help more Americans shop for and sign…

I would encourage my colleagues to join me in a letter that I am putting together reiterating the changes we would like to see to allow for Zimbabwe to head to a place that embraces human rights.

Our point is there are two odious pieces of legislation which have been on the books: One, specifically prevent public assembly, freedom of assembly; The other one is on freedom of expression.

It is important for us to discover the truth. It is our job to protect democracy here and to promote it abroad.

I commend you for the work that you are doing and the sacrifices that you are making and the risks that you are taking both for you and for your family.

When we do not protect our brave journalists, such as Mr. Khashoggi, we move closer to tyranny.

I humbly suggest this committee send a similar bipartisan letter to the White House asking for an immediate clarification of U.S. policy on Libya.

The Attorney General came out in front of the American people and claimed transparency that the President didn't hold any documents back.

the D.C. Circuit decided this exact issue when it held that the White House waives its claims of privilege in regard to specific documents that it voluntarily reveals to third parties outside the White House.

There has been a lot of discussion about the confusion surrounding the President's phone call with Haftar.

The President's decision to use it as a cover-up has thrown this system of checks and balances out the window.

The White House provided unfettered access to campaign and White House documents, directing senior aides to testify freely, and asserting no privilege claims.

The blanket protective privilege claim wasn't grounded in the law. It was payback because the White House and DOJ didn't want to comply with the subpoena.

This hearing will come to order.

I think the United States has a unique role as a relatively neutral broker.

the President waived executive privilege over these materials when he gave them to third parties and allowed them to be published publicly.

Do you remember when you graduated from high school? Do you remember how big the world felt? Do you remember your dreams, what you wanted to learn, whom you wanted to meet, and how you wanted to change the world? You had those dreams…

Thank you very much, Dr. Exum.

I think we have to rethink what our role in the Middle East is, what are our tools, and how do we make ourselves vital to governments.

Yet, these ties have endured.

I think it is critical that we do everything we can to try to end that rift.

In his 1980 State of the Union Address, President Jimmy Carter articulated the Carter doctrine, which stated that the United States would use military force if necessary to defend its national interest in the Gulf.
