I would hope that the Commission would take a look at the devastating and absolutely corrosive impacts of the one-child-per-couple policy.

The Chinese Government always had plans to gain the support they hoped to create among the newly independent African governments.

I happen to be a pro-labor Republican. I get endorsed by the AFL-CIO because I believe passionately in the right to collective bargaining and other core elements of unionized labor.

I, along with Bobby Rush, Congresswoman Bass, and Mr. Fortenberry, introduced legislation called the 'Increasing American Jobs Through Greater Exports to Africa Act of 2012.'

Now they no longer have to compete with the Soviet Union, and they have their seat on the U.N. Security Council, from where they protect dictators such as Omar al-Bashir and Robert Mugabe.

I have actually had, right where you sit, Mr. Ambassador, Chinese political labor activists who then, the lucky ones, in the sense that they are out of prison and they have been expelled.

the administration has, as we all know, Mr. Ambassador, especially the State Department, expressed interest in enhancing U.S.-African trade under AGOA.

That practice, or that worst practice, is being exported to Africa as part of their labor practices.

China is the quintessential example of an anti-labor country.

China has become America's premier economic competitor in Africa, providing loans and making investments far beyond what the United States is currently prepared to provide.

Please take a look at that.

I can't really answer that question.

I agree with Mr. Abbey. I do not.

China's declared defense budget, already the second-highest in the world, will increase by 11.2 percent this year to $106.4 billion.

I grew up in Fort Worth, Texas, so I saw that boom firsthand and as I go back and forth I see the impact that local drilling has had both in terms of creating jobs and creating opportunities.

The American people understand that there is no silver bullet for meeting our energy needs and bringing down the price of gasoline in the short term.

We share the concern of members regarding the burden that rising gasoline prices place on U.S. families and businesses.

As our members are aware, these measures enjoy strong bipartisan support.

the International Child Abduction Act, now named after Sean and David Goldman, was first introduced in 2009.

Everywhere I turned I saw the image of my abducted child.

I first introduced that legislation back in 2006 after hearings with Google, Yahoo!, and others as well as with the administration.

In a world of despondency and desperation with a searing pain throughout my entire being.

the President has been unbelievably silent when it has to come to human rights abuses.

The Russian Government has on many occasions accepted and even solemnly agreed that issues of human rights and the Rule of Law are of international concern.

The most important step must be to stop giving Moscow one concession after another, and getting virtually nothing in return.
