Is that a change that means that we could be accompanying regional forces, means a potential combat role for troops in Somalia?

To my understanding, there is a new Air Force facility in Agadez amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars.

I believe, Secretary Mattis, you had stated that one of the advantages of Congress passing a new AUMF would be to show the resolve of Congress and the unity of Congress.

In your opinion, does that in any way often drive the creation or the--or the condition for radicalization?

I do not take issue with that at all. What I take issue with is that you are saying we try to maintain our efforts at the diplomacy and food support because that is not reflected in budget numbers.

I know Senator Kaine mentioned FISA reauthorization earlier.

But should he have a nuclear weapon, has he given up a first-strike possibility?

North Korea was the most urgent national security threat facing our country. Do you still agree with that today?

The United States must be resolute in stopping this violence, condemning this violence, assisting the refugees, and seeking accountability.

We called on the Burmese Government to permit the safe access to journalists, to U.N. fact-finders, and to humanitarians.

I hope our government speaks with moral clarity on this matter.

In my opinion, we are witnessing a military-sponsored ethnic cleansing campaign on the Rohingya.

This institution is breaking down, and that a guy like that who is such an honorable man, a truth teller as he sees it is leaving the Senate.

You would not let them live there and accept standards in their atmosphere that you have been claiming for your entire career are safe.

Your nomination is one of the more shocking that I have seen

It seems logical and legal that you would recuse yourself from making decisions on chemicals from companies that have paid you.

The mission, as I hope you have memorized, frankly, is to protect families and the environment from the potential risks from pesticides and toxic chemicals.

I have a growing level of frustration that we don't have a plan to protect our rails in the United States.

The common complaint that I get is that there's not enough personnel, that they need more people.
