I have to say, in my view, we need to consider additional sanctions against Russia for its ongoing attack on American democracy.

I was happy to join with you a few weeks ago in introducing the Export Control Reform Act in a bipartisan way.

This update is long overdue.

The President, when he was running for office, said that he would never cut Medicaid and we are, of course, very, very unhappy with potential cuts to Medicaid.

Medicaid is not a handout. It's a health insurance program, and it covers nearly one in five adults in my district.

I hope you will visit this committee many times, and I hope you will listen to what some of us on this side of the aisle are saying.

We don't want any situation where our people are being knocked off of Medicaid--people who really need it.

It's scary for people who don't know what they are going to do if this happens.

It isn't subtle. It could not be easier to see that the administration has ways to pay for their legislation.

The President wants to end the Food for Peace program. I don't think that is a good idea.

I think that is a terrible idea, it would hurt hungry people, that shows a lack of understanding about why the Food for Peace program is so important to our foreign policy.

Helping famine-stricken and malnourished people around the world is simply the right thing to do.

Since 1954 Food for Peace has fed more than 4 billion people, that is billion with a 'B' in 150-plus countries all over the world.

I thank my friend from Illinois for yielding and for the good work she is doing on this and so many other bills. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this bill. In today's world, when technology allows us to constantly be logged into the…

I was disappointed when I heard that the administration downgraded the State Department cyber diplomacy office.

The President has refused, in my opinion, to hold Russia accountable for election interference.

We reached a 2015 agreement with China to prevent cyber theft of intellectual property.

The United States is not working closely enough with like-minded governments to deter adversaries from stealing secrets.

I am stunned by the administration's utter failure to respond to these attacks.

America's adversaries are becoming bolder and more sophisticated as they pursue their aims in cyberspace.

We need to engage with friendly governments facing the same threats.

Do any of you have any reason to doubt the intelligence community's assessment that Russia interfered to influence our 2016 election?

These actions increase the risk of miscalculation.

Elections are at the core of our country, and if the American people lose faith, lose trust in the integrity of those elections, I, frankly, fear for what that does to our country.

I consider sanctions to be an important tool for dealing with problematic actors on the global stage.
