I'll introduce later today the Pan Am 103 Accountability Act.

The United States supports a transparent and inclusive constitutional reform process to strengthen Turkey's democracy.

The continuing abuses by the Syrian Government will inevitably lead to greater instability in the region.

I want to ensure is that we do not relive what this country went through in 2008.

There is a difference between a free market and a free-for-all market.

As someone who is an advocate for the robust budget that I think that you need to do the job that we want you to do on behalf of American investors, and ultimately about everyone in this economy so we do not relive some of the challenges…

The proposal to take such a dramatic cut, I believe to go back to 2008 levels... a $41 million reduction would have a very significant impact on the SEC.

We need to have a strong cop on the beat to police Wall Street.

It would be a grave mistake to reduce funding for the SEC.

I too am very concerned about continuity in the World Trade Center Health Program. The mandatory funding will start on July 1, 2011, and it is critically important that the transition be as smooth as possible. I would like to thank the…

I think we have to consider China's continued undervaluation of its currency and the impact it has on our economy.

I think you've done an extraordinary job in one of the most difficult periods of time to be the Treasury Secretary.

I am particularly leery of changes that enhance 'people-to-people' programs.

I believe they have the intellect, the judicial temperament, and the experience to be great Federal district judges.

I am pleased to join with my senior colleague in introducing and supporting two outstanding judicial professionals.

Hispanics make up just 5 percent of all State Department employees and just 3.9 percent of Foreign Service officers.

If we have a new Libyan Government, we must consider that if we send a message that you can kill Americans and ultimately walk away from jail, then we send a message that is horribly wrong in our global fight against terrorism.

I want to congratulate you for your statement yesterday that the United States is considering seeking the prosecution of Muammar Qaddafi for the 1988 Pan Am 103 bombing that killed 189 Americans.

You know, my main goal every day is how do we grow this economy and how do we get people back to work.

I appreciate the market going up. We are thrilled to see that.
