I rise today to speak in support of--and to share a sample of--the positive results my State of Indiana is already experiencing as a result of tax reform. Hoosiers like Chelsee Hatfield, who accompanied me at the State of the Union address…

I do think it is lamentable that if someone spends 12 years in a classroom or more, they enter college not prepared to handle the basics.

Helping the Afghans transfer to U.S.-made equipment will provide them superior capability, more effective lifecycle sustainment of equipment, and increased interoperability with our own forces.

A more capable and a better-protected Afghan Security Force means a safer America, as well.

Real reform should encompass all aspects of the affordability conversation.

We know college is becoming increasingly unaffordable for far too many Americans, which is the reason we are having this series of hearings.

I have legislation that would establish a framework so that these contracts will be legally recognized and instill consumer protection for income sharing.

I wanted to publicly articulate my hopefulness in that regard, and my gratitude to your Department.

I support the U.S. decision in February 2018 to formally restrict the export of defense articles and defense services into South Sudan in response to the ongoing violence and humanitarian crisis in that country.

Starting with merchandise trade, the Congressional Research Service indicates that, since NAFTA's entry into force, U.S. merchandise trade with its NAFTA partners has more than tripled.

I think I have heard each of you acknowledge that all trade agreements ought to, from time to time, be reviewed and, where possible, modernized.

Today, I am introducing legislation that would preserve and enhance innovation in our higher education system.

I tend to think we need to do a lot more of this in Government. Pilot, rigorously evaluate, scale up the things that are working.

And so that is why we are allowing experimentation under the bill I am drafting immediately--dropping immediately after this hearing, experimentation in Titles I and IV.

I think the thing perhaps I am most excited about are the potential changes to the quality-of-life of a disabled person, of an elderly person, of someone who happens to be site-impaired.

This has been a very interesting hearing. There are a lot of reasons for optimism and outright excitement moving forward as these technologies develop.

I rise to talk about an issue that is very important to Hoosiers: protecting our unborn children. Right now, Hoosiers from across the State of Indiana are traveling to Washington, DC, to take part in tomorrow's March for Life. This annual…

This radical and oppressive regime in Tehran is not only failing to respect the human rights of their own people...

If we are trying to encourage a durable peace--and that is what we all want, a durable peace--between the Israelis and Palestinians, textbooks with this sort of content are completely counterproductive.

the deal's inspection provisions lack adequate mechanisms to prevent, detect, and punish cheating and do not even have the unqualified right to inspect many important locations, including military facilities.

I believe humanitarian assistance alone will not solve the situation in Yemen. Rather, we must continue to work towards a lasting, political solution to this conflict.

I just think that is great, that this is a priority.

I think it will be a continuing effort to assure that countries do not join or not voted onto the Human Rights Council principally for the purpose of defending themselves and using it as a forum to accuse us, as well as Israel, unfairly.

the first U.S. national security interest you mention is supporting the U.N.-led efforts towards a negotiated cessation of hostilities and a comprehensive peace agreement in Yemen.

Along with Senator Merkley, I have been active in the Senate on issues related to Burma and this crisis, and I plan to continue my efforts.
