The best thing to do when you make a mistake is recognize it and own up.

I cannot think of many days in maybe months, going back months, that are more challenging for members than today.

Not only is this dangerous message sent to the millions of British citizens who voted in favor of leave, but this mentality could also have unintended consequences on our own economy.

I am now going to report that the vote passed 329 to 299 on the second reading to the withdrawal agreement bill.

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 would just remind everyone that 80 percent of our trade activity is with EU in that regard, so it is something our country is not going to take too lightly or in a bilateral sense.

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 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…

Whatever deal that is eventually voted on and enacted must avoid a return to violence of the late 20th century.

Latest news, the vote on the timetable has failed, so it looks like we may be waiting to hear from the EU on the extension.

And I commend the commitment to honoring the Good Friday Agreement, particularly one that does not impose a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

I very much look forward to the testimony today and to hearing how U.S. policymakers can continue to play a role in pushing for a resolution that will preserve this very important Good Friday Agreement.
