I deeply appreciate the commitment that you and the ranking member share to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
The terrorist attacks in Paris reminded us that ISIS recruits fighters from across the globe and even here at home. Already, the FBI has arrested over 60 Americans connected with ISIS. The terrorists who attacked Paris got their guns from…
I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill, add the following new title: TITLE VII--MARINE HYDROKINETIC SEC. 7001. DEFINITION…
We are moving forward under this deal, and there is a long list of individuals and entities who will see sanctions relief under the JCPOA.
But if we are serious about stopping Iran from supporting terrorism, have any of you looked at that list and identified the individuals and entities who support terrorism and who should not be considered for sanctions relief at all?
Shouldn't we go through all of them, determine which ones should still be sanctioned for their support for terrorism?
The terror related sanctions were never meant to be a part of the deal. That is what we were told throughout.
shouldn't we scrub that list now, before sanctions relief is granted, to any of those individuals or entities
I've served, Madam Attorney General, on this House Judiciary Committee for over 5 1/2 years, and, in that time, gun violence has claimed the lives of over 150,000 Americans.
Every day, dangerous individuals in the United States buy guns without completing any background check at all.

What do the mayors of cities like Houston, Texas; Tallahassee, Florida; and Portland, Maine, have in common? They all support closing loopholes in our background check laws, loopholes that let convicted felons and those with severe mental…
Today marks 3 weeks since the mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg that cost nine innocent Americans their lives. As that tragedy fades from the headlines, the daily tragedy of gun violence in America drums on. Last week…
If officials within the Palestinian Authority never publicly acknowledge the benefits of the cooperation that is taking place between the Palestinian security forces and Israeli forces to calm the situation...
How does he get away--how is it somehow acceptable to make an assertion about the religious sites that is patently false?
Well, Director Comey, I would invite representatives of your task force and the DEA to come to south Florida.
Let me be clear. All violent attacks on innocent civilians must be condemned, regardless of whether the perpetrators are Palestinians or Israelis.
We spent all this money providing assistance that contributes to security for Israelis and Palestinians that keeps Hamas out.
When President Abbas himself says, 'We welcome every drop of blood spilled in Jerusalem,' that sends a dangerous message that violence is the only way to preserve Muslim sites.
