What kinds of other products?

I understand. And here is what I am trying to figure out.

Once the genie is out of the bottle on sanctions in Iran, that is it.

I think that there is, for all of the discussions about what has happened during the term of the JPOA and the levels having been frozen, distinguishing between crude oil and petroleum products when, I think most of us had always expected…

the intent here, when we talk about 1 million barrels, we are talking about crude, condensate, whatever is typically included.

The deal between Israel and Jordan is the first time that Israel is going to be an exporter to an Arab country.

the administration eased the sanctions on the regime and effectively allowed it to breathe life back into its faltering economy.

The Congress did in fact go after petroleum products in the sanctions.

The JPOA modified that so that instead of requiring the ongoing significant reduction, it froze the levels.

I hope that we can get an explanation on this today, as well as hearing how U.S. policy is adjusting to the changing landscape of the Middle East.

Well, I understand. We can discuss that further as well, but I appreciate your being here, and I think that the next discussion will be fruitful as well as we go forward.

If we were rewriting the sanctions bill now, should it be crude and condensate?

Our goal has got to be to fix the system so that everyone has an opportunity to succeed together.

I thank you, Madam Chairman. I also would like to extend my condolences to the five troops who were killed yesterday in Afghanistan.

After the United States has given so much in blood and treasure, what do we have to show for it?

Maintaining different performance rights standards for terrestrial radio and digital and its digital competitors seems unfair both to the innovative digital services and to the performers whose music is no less valuable when played over…

The system that we have now, it seems to me, is very efficient. It is efficient at putting an awful lot of songwriters out of work.

So what is the total amount? As you analyze it today, what is the total amount spent by this country on Afghanistan?

Holding that music recorded before 1972 should be treated differently than more recent music is disrespectful to the classic artists who have contributed so much to America's musical legacy.

the status quo there is sacrosanct, so we shouldn't change it.

I would really urge you, for all of the analysis that has been done it would be immensely helpful for us to have a conversation not just about going forward, but if we can't acknowledge that we have spent $100 billion and we know billions…

After almost 13 years, trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives lost, this news was met with the mixed reactions that we have come to expect when we talk about Afghanistan.

the fundamental principle behind copyright is that intellectual property rights enable creators to learn a return on their investment and incentivizes them to make it available widely so that that return grows.

There are tremendously innovative approaches that provide all kinds of access while at the same time protecting the copyrights of the creators and the innovators who provide this content.

There are plenty of people who everyday are working hard to make a lot of money by making counterfeit copies.
