I think we need to go back to the well again and again to let Putin know he is leading his country into isolation.

Maybe we need tougher measures that would force the administration to act, like the bill I introduced with Mr. Connolly, the SECURE Our Democracy Act.

I remember being in North Korea many years ago as a North Korean high government official said to us: Saddam Hussein didn't have nuclear weapons, and look where he is now.

I think it has done what it was designed to do, which is we had a nuclear deal, we had commitments on the nuclear side...

I think diplomacy is a key complement to a sanctions package.

I think we ought to keep the agreement and enforce it.

I think this has to be much bigger than just sanctions.

But as the danger escalates, we are seeing that U.S. sanctions are only one piece of the puzzle.

I thank my friend from New York. You know, I have been here a long time now, and I have to say: This is one of the worst pieces of legislation I have ever seen; one of the worst processes I have ever seen. You know, when you were a kid…

I want to thank Representative Virginia Foxx and Ranking Member Engel for their leadership on 3851.

I want to thank you for calling today's markup. This is a great example of what you and I have both tried to do.

I want to thank Representatives Boyle and Fitzpatrick. They introduced H.R. 1997, the Ukraine Cybersecurity Cooperation Act.

I have worked with her on the bill, and I am very pleased to work with her passing this piece of legislation.

I am concerned about the imbalance between military and the non-military approaches to countering terrorism in sub-Saharan Africa.

You cannot pick up a newspaper these days without seeing a headline about how Secretary Tillerson is hollowing out the State Department.

I am baffled that the administration wants to cut the budget for these agencies by a third.

I am very troubled by the redesign. I am worried that the redesign will be used as an excuse to cut back.

It's almost like no counterterrorism.

How does gutting vital efforts help us get at the root causes of this problem?

What I don't want to hear and I won't accept is that we can't afford it.

You can't cut back, in my opinion, at the rate that the administration has announced it would like to and have an effective workforce.

It is now my pleasure to yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Frankel), my good friend and valued member of the Foreign Affairs Committee.

I am prepared to close. I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, the plight of the Rohingya is not and will not be forgotten. I think we heard it from both sides of the aisle with the impassioned speeches today. Nor will we…
