I believe that when America retreats from the world that chaos fills that vacuum.

We can't yield to Assad. This man has blood on his hands in the most awful way.

I am unapologetic about American strength and American power around the globe.

We must never tire, we must never waver and we must never forget the enemy that we are facing.

Does your agency believe that nuclear is critical to provide affordable, reliable electricity in the United States?

I just want to ask what steps, if any, is the EPA taking to address the concerns expressed by these nuclear companies?

I am a huge supporter of the idea of exporting our natural gas; playing a counter to Russia.

Assad has murdered almost 200,000 of his own people.

I think it is completely legitimate to go after corrupt officials in Russia.

I will oppose this amendment because I think at this point we have got to move forward.

You have an armed force walking into a sovereign nation and tearing a sovereign European country apart.

I appreciate the diverse panel that has gathered here, and the important insights you guys are able to provide on the prevalence of concussions in sports.

Such high profile initiatives are important to combatting this issue, and I applaud the Chicago Bears for their leadership.

Thank you for your leadership in holding this hearing, and to all of you, thank you for being here and bearing through a bunch of politicians.

In my home State of Illinois, similar legislation was passed in 2011 to require that education boards throughout the State work with the Illinois High School Association to adopt guidelines that raise awareness of concussion symptoms.

I am not sure if this is the place to put a resolution like this. I am undecided how I am going to vote on this, because right now I think the most important thing we can do as the United States Congress is to show unanimity on this issue.

I think a better resolution would be one, as I stated earlier, where Ukraine looks east and west.

I think reacting from a position of strength on the United States is the best thing that we can do against this incursion into Ukraine.

This was engineered by Stalin. Stalin intended to populate east Ukraine so that some day... he could claim legitimacy.

I just want to make the point that in the United--as a Republican from Illinois, the United States actually votes quite differently based on geography.

The President has made it clear the steps that Russia has taken violate Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity and our breach of international law.

If Europe is going to impose sanctions it should be against Russia, not against Israel.

I appreciate you bringing this hearing together in order to focus on the benefits of having access to affordable and reliable electricity.

I think developing an electrical grid in Africa is important to help them withstand weather disasters, to reduce the need for U.S. and foreign aid.

When you deny people energy, you deny them opportunity to be entrepreneurs, to build businesses, and to grow themselves out of that situation.
