Thank you very much. Mr. Chairman. I appreciate the courtesy. I want to thank you for holding this hearing.

If we had enough concern about Hillary's emails to do nine investigations in the House, and two in the Senate, and have hundreds of hearings on that issue, because we thought--a U.S. official mishandled their emails, hundreds of hearings…

This used to be the Oversight Committee, this is the running away from oversight committee.

I have labored mightily to maintain the proper decorum, sense of decorum, and chosen my words carefully...

Do we want to change that narrative? Do we want to change the one of supporting Israel's right to defend itself to one where the talk is Israel's annexing the Golan in violation of the previous agreement that has been in place since 1974…

No one is calling for Israeli withdrawal from the Golan. Why not support the happy status quo?

Exactly. And that is why we have a role of leadership in this whole question.

I am compelled by that same sense of decency and concern for our national security to briefly comment on the President's remarks in Helsinki yesterday.

The sanctions against Iran is going to raise the value of Russian oil. So by withdrawing from the JCPOA, you are helping Russia.

we don't have a public registry like the U.K.
