This is both a happy and sad moment for me. I am happy because, in the new Congress, I will be in the majority. But I am sad because so many of my friends are retiring, not coming back. I mentioned my good friend Mr. Poe before, and I just…
In closing, Mr. Speaker, let me again thank Mr. Smith and Chairman Royce for their hard work and leadership. The violence and suffering that has overtaken Syria and Iraq in recent years is heartbreaking, and it is infuriating, but we…
Again, I want to thank the bipartisan group of lawmakers who worked with me on this bill--Mr. Poe, Mr. McCaul--and I thank Chairman Royce for his leadership, as always. After 17 years of war with no end in sight, we should all be able to…
It is now my pleasure to yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Suozzi), an original cosponsor of the bill.
The gentleman from Texas (Mr. Poe) who just spoke, I think it is very appropriate now, as the Congress is moving to an end, to thank him for his hard work and for his good friendship. He really is a Member's Member and is really indicative…
I am prepared to close. I yield myself the balance of my time. I again want to thank Mr. Donovan and Chairman Royce for their work on this effort. We want to ensure that the U.S. continues to enjoy its centuries-long relationship with…
And I rise in support of this measure. Mr. Speaker, I thank Representative Donovan for his work on this resolution which reaffirms America's relationship with Liberia and calls for the Government of Liberia to hold accountable those who…
And I rise in strong support of this measure. Let me, first of all, as I have so many times before, thank Chairman Royce for his leadership in advancing this lifesaving legislation, as well as Representative Smith, the bill's author. I…
To close. Let me again thank Mr. Castro for putting forward this timely and important resolution. He has been a valued leader on policy on Asia and policy in Australia. As we look to the future of U.S.-Australia relations over the next 100…
As co-dean of the New York delegation, along with my colleague Congresswoman Lowey, the New York delegation is pleased to welcome our newest colleague, Joe Morelle, representing New York's 25th District in upstate New York. Joe has been…
In closing, I, again, want to thank Mr. McCaul for his hard work on this measure and to Chairman Royce for moving it forward. This bill authorizes a very important program that strengthens our efforts to assist partners in the Sahel and…
I have always said that when it comes to foreign policy, politics and partisanship should stop at the water's edge.
In places where instability leads to terrorism and conflict, it's important that we collaborate with our allies in a united interagency effort.
We need to update our Government's policies to prevent violence and I ask all members to join me in supporting the bill.
Global levels of violence are at a 25-year peak, and when a region faces violence the effects are felt far and wide.
It is just shocking that right here in the United States women are dying from preventable pregnancy-related complications.
It is long past time we acted to reverse this horrible trend once and for all.
I know and hear regularly from my constituents who complain about poor cable service, high bills and being forced to pay for bundled programming that they don't really want.
It's really shameful. The United States, of course, is not to blame for this crisis.
It is my pleasure to yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Ted Lieu), the author of the bill.
Aung San Suu Kyi... has proven herself, unfortunately, to be part of the problem by failing to speak out...
When it comes to standing up for human rights, for justice, for the rule of law, for the world's most vulnerable and oppressed, the United States has taken itself out of the running.
It's interesting because our congressional districts all have about 700,000 people each in them.
I am prepared to close. In closing, I want to again thank Mr. Lieu and Chairman Royce. It seems to me, Mr. Speaker, that we have been caught flatfooted before a range of new threats, including cyber attacks. Our agencies have not done…
