There are a lot of dead American soldiers as a result of Iran's intervention in Iraq.

It is better, from my perspective, to do an arms control agreement with a country that is an adversary of ours, like we did with the Soviet Union, and then retain our capabilities to go after them for all of their malign activities in the…

My constituents and the American people need not just answers but they want assurances that they are not going to be financially ruined by this.

This is obviously a huge issue, 145 1A\1/2\ million people affected by this data breach.

I think that idea that people are not harmed in this is ludicrous.

I think bombs and guns are important in the current fight, but I think we have to look at that next generation.

I think State and USAID are sometimes the unsung heroes of conflict mitigation.

I think that is essential.

How do you tell Iran that they can't have a nuclear weapon when the JCPOA is up, actually fairly soon, when, in fact, you have just given North Korea de facto access to a nuclear weapon?

In order to actually achieve our objectives--and we have almost accepted defeat even prior to actually going about these objectives, in some circles.

You cannot do diplomacy with an adversary without a big stick to use, whether that is military, whether that is economic, whatever.

If we are ruling out a credible military option, I think it is going to be unsuccessful ultimately.

I want to commend the President, frankly, for finally taking a tough perspective on North Korea; I think, being very open about this is the challenge of our generation.

I intend to work with my colleagues to ensure that we uphold our end of the bargain.

The incentive auction has proven to be a unique and innovative way to bring additional spectrum to the broadband market and additional revenues to the Federal Government.

But I believe that when you put 535 Members of Congress into the Commander in Chief seat and you state you have an enemy--we have an enemy right now, which is terrorism.

It is really important.

Our job through the construct of the War Powers Act... is to give the President the authority to declare war on our end.

I do support a new AUMF in the current construct where we are at, but I don't think there can be any time limit on it and there can be no limitation on what the President can do because that makes us Commander in Chief.

I am also pleased to see the FCC Process Reform Act included in the bill that I cosponsored with Chairman Walden in the past few Congresses to improve transparency and fairness.

What Mr. Connolly was saying, I think it is essential to remember that I think when our Founders were writing the Constitution they understood that you cannot have 535 commanders in chief because we never agree with anybody.

no plan survives the first contact with the enemy.

I am pleased to see the FCC reauthorization discussion draft includes provisions from legislation I introduced last Congress that would require the FCC to publish the draft of any item that is circulated on vote at the Commission.

we are at war not with a nation but an idea

I think, you know, when you make the case on Syria for instance, people often point to Libya as a disastrous result.
