If I were living in a place where gun battles were leaving scores of people dead, and previously safe streets were now hideouts for thugs and criminals, I would feel a sense of terror, too.

The OAS was unwilling to certify the election, and that sent a clear signal about the fraud in the Nicaraguan election.

The Merida Initiative was not engraved in stone. It is a living strategy that is modified, adjusted, and corrected, as circumstances change on the ground and we learn lessons.

We both want to see more pressure brought on Hugo Chavez's authoritarian government.

I thank my friend for yielding time to me. I rise in strong support of H.R. 2105, the Iran, North Korea, and Syria Nonproliferation Reform and Modernization Act of 2011. Madam Chair, many years ago we sponsored legislation to slap…

I thank the gentleman for yielding to me. I rise today in strong opposition to this act and in opposition to the rule. It's a shame that the majority is playing legislative chicken with middle class tax cuts on a bill that will never be…

I thank the gentleman from California and also the gentleman from Kentucky for yielding to me. I rise in support of the resolution. Mr. Speaker, I have become increasingly concerned with the direction of Turkey in the past few years. It…

I rise in strong support of this legislation. Under no circumstances should Iran be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon. This is a dangerous regime which supports terrorism and calls for the destruction of Israel. And every day they're…

I think we have to have a little bit of a balance.

I think that we should have them built so that they can run on ethanol, methanol, and gasoline.

Today is the second anniversary of the unfair and brutal incarceration by the Cuban regime of Alan Gross, an American citizen; and I urge his immediate release. Alan Gross is 62 years old and, in a trumped-up trial, was given 15 years in…

I think we need to be concerned about that.

I thank my friend from New York. I rise in strong opposition to this piece of legislation. With all due respect, I always enjoy listening to my Republican friends lecture us about fiscal responsibility. May I remind them that when Bill…

I think that is a positive thing for Europe.

It seems to me at a time when some countries are trying to close borders, Kosovo is trying to open its borders.

I think that their rejectionist attitude toward Kosovo is negative--more so negative for Serbia than anybody else, unfortunately.

I have been a strong supporter of an independent Kosovo for many, many years.

It seems to me that the majority of the Serb population there doesn't support it and wouldn't support it.

I believe if we keep kicking the can down the road, whether it is KFOR or whomever, it is going to be much worse, much more difficult to resolve as the years go by.

I am for Kosovo and Serbia being part of the European Union. But I don't think Serbia can get in before Kosovo because Serbia would then block Kosovo the way it has blocked Kosovo from getting into the United Nations.

I think conversely it works the other way as well. I think that people who make their own choices and their own decisions should not be impeded from getting the services that they want and they need.

I respect people's consciences. This is a sensitive issue, and it is sensitive all the way around.

I believe there have been many significant advances that the Affordable Care Act made in access to quality and affordable care for women.

I was the author of--sponsor of the Syrian Accountability Act.

I think that reluctance is gone because I think we see Assad murdering his own people.
