Joseph P. Kennedy III

My friends, that is just not true. It is absolutely not true.

We will continue to vigorously, Ranking Member Engel, we will absolutely--not only will we--I mean, this is going to actually result in a greater intensity of focus on the sanctions.

I think it is important to get the reforms that we want, democratic reforms, constitutional reforms, to allow Daw Suu Kyi and others to run for office.

I personally don't believe that the Burmese military needs to be trained to stop killing and raping and stealing lands from people within their own country.

I have a profound respect for the people in the country, certainly for Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and those who every day sacrifice so much to bring democracy to the country.

The United States ended up leading the effort against the HIV/AIDS. We didn't just participate and allow others to lead.

As JFK, whose assassination we recognize tomorrow, emphasized when he made his moonshot speech, we do not set goals and regard them as easy.

I am urging the U.S. to be not only more actively participatory in these international efforts, but to lead these international efforts.

I want to stress the importance of the adoption of democratic social norms by these countries along with their economic integration.

I want to reiterate that the resolution expresses solidarity with the people of the Philippines and affirms our commitment to provide essential assistance.

I look forward to the day when similar legislation will pass here in the United States and in the House of Representatives.

I think that Massachusetts has proudly evidenced that if there is a collective will to get health care, meaningful health care reform bill passed and to continue to work on it, to continue to tweak it to make sure it works together, it can…

When I talk to local officials and businesses, they want-- they have a genuine desire to be EPA compliant.

They don't disagree with the importance of these regulations, but the communities struggle to get back on their feet post-recession.

Have these two studies been peer reviewed?

Over the past few decades, the EPA has made really admirable progress in attacking the lingering pollution and contamination issues.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, Madam Administrator, for being here, and I apologize for the raspy voice.

We can strengthen economic and cultural ties that will help to provide a more prosperous future for all Iraqis.

We can't allow it to now disappear into our rearview mirror.

I look forward to hearing whether there has been any progress on this issue.

I hope that elections will bring a new political order that works to govern inclusively and effectively.

I appeal to you that you will talk to your congressmen and officials and apply all resources and means to help terminate China's evil one-child policy and forced abortion.

Hillary Clinton once stated clearly that the policy of the United States is to support an Internet that allows every human being equal access to knowledge, to thoughts, and dedicating itself to the promotion of Internet freedom.

I urge the Obama administration to make Pakistan's progress on this particular issue, among others, a qualification for receiving U.S. assistance.
