We can't afford, as a country, to allow psychic numbing to overcome the way we view the tragic deaths of thousands and thousands of people at the hands of a brutal dictator.

The suggestion that Assad is part of any solution or that he is a protector against ISIS is, quite frankly, ridiculous.

I applaud the President's willingness to take action against ISIS and we are seeing some successes from that air campaign in Iraq.

I believe that we still think that human rights matter and that a regime that brutally kills over 200,000 people cannot be allowed to stand.

I think requires us to fairly compensate them, ensure that they are fairly compensated for the work that they do.

the Register would be in a better position--significantly better position if it gained more independence through Copyright Office modernization.

I would also probably recommend that if we were to have roundtables, that we get of Washington a little bit, go somewhere where people make from a living from writing songs at their kitchen table.

Thus, Mr. Chairman, we would find ourselves in a situation where we would be curtailing the rights of individuals to pursue their 7th Amendment rights, at the same time that they are pursuing those rights to uphold other constitutional…

Class actions are also an essential feature of our legal system because they allow individuals in similar situations to file lawsuits.

Thank you for your leadership, your thoughtful, very thoughtful, analysis of these issues and the tireless efforts that you and your staff put in in really strengthening the intellectual property of our country.

I want to see a deal that ensures Iran doesn't walk away in a few years with an industrial-sized nuclear infrastructure.

There is ample opportunity for Iran to build out a nuclear energy program without enriching the uranium.

The fact that Fordow remains open is still a concern.

Perhaps the best thing that they could do now will be to ensure that Amir Hekmati, Saeed Abedini, Jason Rezian and my constituent, Bob Levinson, return home to their families.

The question is what scope of congressional action will stop these abuses without also endangering America's innovation economy?

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security considers al-Qaeda and the Arabian Peninsula the affiliate most likely to attempt transnational attacks against the United States.

Our goal must be to address the abuses of bad actors without undermining the work of all the good ones.

Thank you, Madam Chairman, for calling today's hearing and allowing us to address the recent troubling events in Yemen.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thanks to you and the Ranking Member for continuing the Committee's efforts to address abusive practices in patent litigation.

There are obviously supplies that have been coming from Iran, he said.

Hadi's government remained a partner in counterterrorism cooperation and operations.
