I stand with Speaker Pelosi and other Members of Congress, including Chairman Neal, in pledging not to engage in bilateral U.S./U.K. trade deals, should Brexit undermine the Good Friday Agreement, including the seamless border between the…

I would say every time I speak to some of my peers in Ireland they will remind me time and time again that there would have been no peace if it had not been for the U.S. intervention.

I am pleased to join Representatives Suozzi and King in co-sponsoring House Resolution 585, reaffirming the support of the Good Friday Agreement and other agreements geared at a lasting peace in Northern Ireland.

I hope you will support H. Res. 552, and join me in urging the Government of Russia to provide the evidence against Paul, allow a fair and transparent judicial process without delay, facilitate Paul's medical care, and allow for…

I am deeply saddened but not surprised that we must call on the government of the Russian Federation to release U.S. resident Paul Whelan.

Representative Sherman's resolution recognizes Hong Kong's bilateral relationship with the United States, condemns the interference of the People's Republic of China in Hong Kong affairs, and supports the people of Hong Kong's rights to…

As Members of Congress, we must continue to provide strength through unity to the Hong Kongers who are desperately protecting the freedoms and liberties they hold dear.

Each of these measures demonstrates the United States' continued commitment to preserving the autonomy and freedom of Hong Kong and its people.

H.R. 3289, the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, builds on the Hong Kong Policy Act, the cornerstone for our bilateral relationship, and allows the Administration to reexamine our special relationship with Hong Kong and revoke…

H.R. 4270, the PROTECT Hong Kong Act, prohibits the export of riot control equipment like tear gas to the Hong Kong police.

This is an extremely important issue. It does not receive perhaps the greatest public attention that it deserves.

If there are other types of resources, going forward, that the U.S. is going to supply to the Afghan government that those guarantees for women remain in place

If we are going to reset or whatever might happen, words count when you are dealing diplomatically in negotiations.

I would say the fact that any of you or Members of Congress cannot answer that question presents a problem with the talks.

I hope that this committee, moving forward very shortly, will be able to go forward with that and put additional safeguards to protect the gains the women and girls have certainly been advantaged from in Afghanistan

For Afghanistan to enjoy the support, to receive the benefits of being a member of the international community it will have to uphold these fundamental rights

If left unabated, climate change will displace world populations.

The last thing we would want for the generations to follow... is to hear in some of your remarks actual fear and anxiety being expressed.

Climate change is undoubtedly an economic threat--that is true; a national security threat--that is true; and, ultimately, and most importantly, an existential threat.

It makes a difference. It will make a difference, and, by the way, it is bipartisan and based on science.

I agree that we need to take aggressive action. I agree that we need to ensure that we move forward in a sustainable, rational manner.

As Mr. Kinzinger said a few minutes ago, contrary to popular belief, the United States--the United States--is the country that has led the world in greenhouse gas reductions.

For every ton of carbon dioxide reduced by the United States, China adds nearly four times as much.

There must be leadership in addressing climate change because we, and especially your generation, cannot afford for things not to change.

America knows how to lead in a crisis, and it is high time we pick ourselves up and get back to this fight.
