It's not about development as much as it is about malign influence throughout the region, making China the security partner of choice.

I do believe that, for those of us, myself included, who wonder the kind of country that China will be in 2049, I think we're seeing that now.

I do not. I mean, I have said before that I don't have enough--just the submarine numbers alone, I don't have what I need.

I don't. But I will defer to Admiral Rogers and U.S. Cyber Command, and that is his job.

I think we need to continue to focus on maintaining the technological and asymmetric edge in undersea warfare.

I think China holds the key. And I have said before that China is the key to a peaceful outcome on the Korean Peninsula, but China is not the key to all outcomes.

I do agree that we need to look hard at the shipyard capabilities in the Pacific.

I do not agree, ma'am, today that we have an insufficient shipyard capability.

Full sanctions remain in effect until North Korea makes concrete steps, demonstrates concrete steps toward denuclearization.

For 65 remarkable years, Mayor Lee demonstrated to all those he worked with, knew, and came to serve that through humble and steadfast leadership each one of us can create a more inclusive and just community for future generations.

Californians and San Franciscans have lost a tireless champion for diversity, equity, and inclusion. Mayor Edwin M. Lee was the son of Chinese immigrants and the city's first Asian- American mayor. Mayor Lee grew up in public housing and…

I thank the chairman for agreeing to work with me on this as we move forward. I will be voting for this bill today, and I urge my colleagues to vote for this bill to increase American competitiveness.

I wish to engage the gentleman from Texas in a colloquy. We should not be satisfied with the historically low economic growth rates of the past decade. This tax reform bill that creates jobs, increases paychecks, grows our economy, and…

We just have to be thoughtful of that.

That is the most powerful testimony I have heard at a committee hearing in 7 years.

The Nation stands in mourning over the tragedy in Las Vegas. No one ever wants to be in that situation. But it, once again, reminds us that, when there is danger, our law enforcement officers run to it, not away from it. We are going to…

I agree with the gentleman. Pay disparities exist, but we need a precise tool. If we are going to give the Federal Government a tool with which to investigate and punish employers, it should be a surgical tool. This is not a surgical tool…

I thank the gentleman from New York for his remarks. No one is naive enough to think that discrimination doesn't exist. The question is: What tools should the Federal Government use? And this certainly is not the tool that is helpful. Mr…

I just say that it is absolutely true if we were looking at similar work, but the bill does not look at similar work. It looks at huge categories like, for instance, professionals in a hospital that include neurosurgeons and nurses. It is…

A few minutes ago, the House delivered on one of the President's promises to increase security in the United States to stop foreign infiltration into the States to protect us from terrorists possibly crossing our border. The bottom line…

I hope that under this administration our border security has zero tolerance.

I disagree that we lack a strategy on North Korea, sir. I believe we do have a strategy.

We have to look at North Korea as if Kim Jong-un will do what he says.

I don't share your confidence that North Korea is not going to attack either South Korea or Japan or the United States.

Look, I agree with the framework of the President's budget. The bottom is, we do have to finally prioritize spending.
