"I believe very strongly that one of the responsibilities of our committee is and always has been to make sure that issues deserving attention receive focus."

"It should not be elephants, rhino, and tigers that are behind bars. It should be the poachers and the smugglers who are behind bars."

"History reminds us that we never have the right to turn our backs on the values that define us."

"We need to up the ante politically as well."
