Freedom of worship is a basic human right, yet we see religious minorities all over the world subjected to violence and persecution.

We cannot allow foreign governments to meddle in democracy or conduct cyber attacks against us and our allies.

Both Chairman Royce and I believe that what is occurring in Burma's Rakhine State is ethnic cleansing perpetrated by the military and a direct failure of the Burmese Government to protect its people.

The use of human shields is a disgusting and cowardly practice, and it will never lead to peace.

I worry that we are going to squander the good progress we have made unless we change course.

Condemning ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya and calling for an end to the attacks in and an immediate restoration of humanitarian access to the state of Rakhine in Burma.

I don't believe that we should cut and run in Afghanistan.

Well, Secretary Tillerson said this is a war that will come to an end through a negotiated settlement.

Congress must continue to invest the necessary funds to respond to the opioid epidemic and support proven public health approaches.

Failing to certify the deal is the first step toward ending it.

If we pull out of the Iran deal, we would lose all credibility as we try to negotiate with the regime in Pyongyang on nuclear disarmament.

Iran has begun to develop a permanent foothold in Syria, seeking a corridor from Tehran to the Mediterranean.

I want to encourage members of this committee on both sides of the aisle to attend our classified briefing tomorrow at 2:30 with the intelligence community to learn more about this in a classified setting.

I hope he understands the importance of the United States keeping its commitments.

We need to be tough on Iran. We need tough sanctions and multilateral actions to make clear that the regime will face consequences for its dangerous activities.
