I am deeply saddened Congressman Young, a man who put all others before himself, has passed--he will be sorely missed.

I just can't find--until we change the government and the way--I don't want to change the government.

It is the government, the corruption that has been there for the last 30, 40 years that has kept those people repressed.

If we are going to go in there, we should have American workforces in there.

I agree 100 percent with that. But giving to foreign aid, I disagree with that, especially if our money is going, and it is not accountable, it is not being held accountable.

I agree with the Congressmen on my left, or to the left over here, Engel, Meeks, and Connolly, that we should focus on making our Embassy and personnel safer around the world.

Reports also stated that Ambassador Stevens had requested increased security on more than one occasion, correct?

We can win this, and it can be done and won with diplomacy and not with guns and bombs.

This is a moment in time, in history, where we, America, can lead in a new direction.

I implore you guys and the administration to find a diplomatic solution.

I and the people I represent said not just 'no' but something like 'heck, no,' don't get involved in this.

Our action would be one of attacking a sovereign nation, a nation that did not attack us, an act of war.

I cannot, I will not, nor shall not support intervention in this conflict.

What I see as our foreign policy is a circle. It is like a tiger chasing its tail for the last 25 to 30 years.

The fact that we still have not brought to justice those who attacked us is a travesty.

My goal today is to find out why Abu Dhabi was chosen, the criteria that went into the decision and if there are better uses with our resources.

It's just not acceptable that we're spending this money there and then we go back to our taxpayers and say, hey, guess what, you got to send more money in and we're borrowing 43 cents on every dollar to send over here.

I'd hate to see our young men and women go overseas. They need to stay here and build America strong.

The American people are tired of that. We've got to change our foreign policy and what we do.

If insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results, let's hope by having hearings like this...

I appreciate you being here. Korea to me is an amazing story about where it came from 60 years ago to where we are now.

In today's fiscal and technological climate, I want to make sure that we are maximizing the use of the hard-working Americans' tax dollars.

I have a healthy respect for the history of the Voice of America's related programs from World War II to the fall of communism.

I think that is a great idea, and that goes back to your idea of accountability.
