In closing, Ambassador, I want to urge you to continue to pursue an interagency process that calls on all relevant departments and agencies to address this issue, like I described a minute ago.

I have been generally impressed by the work of the Interagency Task Force to develop a comprehensive strategic action plan on victim services here in the U.S.

We have a right to defend ourselves without assuming the obligation to make sure that every country that harbors terrorists ends up as prosperous and as democratic as our World War II adversaries.

What can we do to make sure that our treasure is spent wisely and we are matching the commitment that our service members are making abroad?

A unified world community sending a consistent message caused four states already, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus, and South Africa, to give up possession of nuclear weapons.

There is not a single church or other house of worship other than the Wahhabi mosque and some Shiite mosques in Saudi Arabia.

I just wanted to thank you for calling an important hearing, and look forward to what our witnesses have to say on the issue.

I express our appreciation for Saudi Arabia's leadership within the region. We believe that the best solution is a political solution. And we believe that every minority can be respected. There can be diversity and pluralism.

I believe that the Administration's proposed reorganization of STEM education at NASA is deeply misguided.

So please just keep us in mind as that develops.

just because it is a long-term horizon doesn't mean that we don't make the investment.
