It is unconscionable to me that President Trump's budget calls for a 30 percent reduction

It is absolutely utterly unacceptable that, as Senator Harris said, this is the job of government, to protect people.

Paying for Superfund cleanups cannot be a partisan issue.

To achieve these sustainable fishery management, managers must consider sort of that balance between the ecological needs and also the commercial and recreational value of fishing.

I think there are opportunities for additional flexibility in how we apply annual catch limits.

But just a simple question, can we do better?

I just find those numbers astonishing and even unacceptable and think we could do better than doing that kind of damage to the wildlife in our oceans.

I'm here not only because of the important issues that we're discussing today, but also to keep you company, sir.

Citizenship in the United States has tremendous blessings and privileges, and most of us luxuriate in rights that were fought for and struggled for by generations before.

We will be pressing very hard that this administration lean on the wisdom that is being expressed by people like yourselves to institute a policy.

The amount of human suffering and misery. The amount of famine and dislocation is agonizing and painful.

If we wait until next year, we are losing opportunity and people will suffer as a result.

If we do not have a special envoy or someone focused on crafting the strategy by 2018, that is a serious...lack of American leadership.

To execute that kind of aggressive strategy that you articulate, you got to have some kind of leadership guts and courage here in the United States, which we lack.

I do not think we have time in South Sudan for that discussion to delay the designation

The fact that there is an absence of U.S. political and diplomatic leadership is a serious problem

This is the number one place on the planet where aid workers are being attacked

Every month that we wait for this administration to craft a policy and a strategy to deal with this issue is an absence of American leadership

We cannot sit here in the United States while there is such a moral crisis going on in South Sudan

The United States has an essential role to play in resolving this conflict.

There is no fatigue on this subcommittee, and it is something that we urgently want to see addressed.
