It's hard to say that Lebanon is independent when it includes in its government Hezbollah, and Hezbollah has 150,000 rockets increasingly more accurate, increasingly more powerful delivered by Iran.

Thank you, and I want to thank the chairman and the ranking member for having this hearing.

I am glad we have these bills here today. I am glad to support all of them.

I urge the committee to continue to fund these vital grant programs that help keep our communities safe.

The United States has always been a nation of immigrants, a shining beacon of hope for those fleeing oppression and seeking a better life.

I've always said that the national security of the United States relies on what I refer to as a three-legged stool--diplomacy, development, and defense.

As former Defense Secretary Robert Gates noted, development contributes to stability. It contributes to better governance, and if you are able to do these things and you're able to do them in a focused and sustainable way then it may be…

U.S. foreign assistance programs are critical to advancing stability and growing the economies of developing countries which are vital to U.S. national interests and can help avoid costlier conflicts.

I would say we have one school district in an area near where we serve where the kids at night, the parents drive them to the parking lot of the school at night to get the free WiFi because they don't have internet service at home, and…

I think it will be important, as we move to 5G, that that bridging technology is protected, and that is a role I think the Federal Government will have a say in.

A statement on support of the bill from Representative Brad Schneider; for Ensuring Patient Access to Substance Use Disorder Treatment Act.

We work very closely with Federal regulators, FinCEN, the OCC, the FDIC across the board.

I certainly do. Again, we conduct numerous, hundreds of exams each year of money service businesses, including for BSA/AML compliance.

As I said before, not a day goes by that I don't pray for peace for Israel.

I have spent my entire life praying for, working for, peace for Israel and her neighbors, a peace that would be two states, living in prosperity, with security.

I believe peace is only going to be realized by a two-state solution.

The U.S. intelligence agencies found that Russia did, in fact, interfere in the 2016 Presidential election.

Given the severity of this conflict and the impact on the Syrian population it is imperative that the United States makes its goals clear.

As ISIS is pushed out from the territory it controlled new challenges in scenes of conflict emerge.

Since the Arab oil embargo in the 1970s, U.S. energy policy has been aimed at assuring a secure supply of energy, keeping energy costs low enough to meet the needs of a growing economy and protecting the environment while producing and…

This resolution is an opportunity for the American people to stand with the peaceful Iranian protesters and condemn the maligned activities of the oppressive Iranian regime. In the days ahead, I urge this administration to hold the Iranian…

I am very concerned about cuts to our State Department, and the deemphasizing of diplomacy.

We have to do everything we can to make sure Hezbollah doesn't have the ability to project and raise their resources around the world through criminal activity, drug activity, and then in the region as an agent of Iran.

We have to understand what happened in the past, and apply it to lessons in the future so they don't succeed.

I will be honest, their answers left me more concerned that the United States isn't necessarily taking this threat seriously, and isn't doing what we need to do to secure our elections.
