Bill Keating

I share those concerns as well.

I agree with both my colleagues here on Iran as a grave concern.

What a novel approach that is.

This bill is a bold attempt to change that.

I would also like to commend Mr. Wilson for his amendment to target Afghan and Pakistani mercenary brigades of the IRGC operating in Iraq and Syria.

Well, the inaction allowed AAH and HHN and their Iranian masters to gain substantially more political power.

These two groups, known as AAH and HHN, are terrorist groups.

I am glad the committee has included the key components of my Iran Proxies Terrorist Sanction Act and Mr. Kinzinger's bill.

The people of Venezuela are hungering for democracy and they are starving for food, and so this is fastly becoming a dramatic humanitarian crisis the region, propelled and pushed by the Maduro dictatorship.

Congressman Donovan spearheaded a hearing which this subcommittee held on the future of democracy and governance in Liberia.

I'd like to thank Mr. Dan Donovan, a valued member of our Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights.

I also want to single out the extraordinary work of our PEPFAR coordinator, Ambassador Deborah Birx.

I want to thank my lead Democratic sponsor Barbara Lee for her commitment to extending PEPFAR.

We must continue putting pressure on those responsible and sending a strong message that the U.S. will not sit idly by as the regime continues its repression.

I think this has been a very informative hearing and I think you surfaced many, many bits of information about this because of your firsthand knowledge of being there.

Aung San Suu Kyi... has completely failed in any way to speak out against this violence.

Iran's control over and ties to political and military groups in Iraq flies in the face of these critical objectives and undermines Iraq's ability to ever be able to fully be independent and secure.

A government must be able to exercise control over the use of force within its borders, and the political parties and representatives in a country must be loyal, first and foremost, to their country and their people.

The threats to people like Reverend Jose Alberto Idiaquez and other people specifically are a great threat and it's a continuing area we'd like to work with you on.

One of the greatest strengths we have in dealing with Iran is our coalition.

One of the flaws in the JCPOA was that it was an agreement that was not approved by Congress, by the Senate.

I take umbrage to you saying I am wrong. I am not wrong, and every expert that's come in front of us, before us, then is not wrong.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Add at the end the following: TITLE __--MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS SEC. _01. FUNDING FOR MONITORING…

I thank my colleague from Alaska. I think the gentleman understands full well that that monitor on the ship poses very challenging times from the time that they are on that ship, and the $900 a day is simply something that fishermen can't…

But you are not calling them by name, the people that gave a hostile attack on our country's democracy.
