If these questions are not resolved in a way that satisfies these concerns, concerns that Congress has outlined repeatedly, then there are likely to be major, perhaps fatal, flaws in the final deal.

Every year three-quarters of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender kids in this country are verbally harassed at school. Nearly a fifth will be physically assaulted. It is time for the bullying and abuse to stop. Every year GLSEN…

The Kremlin's disorientation campaign goes beyond political spin and disinformation.

Thank you for your courage and for your voice. It has been a pleasure to be your partner.

It is estimated that Putin is spending more than $600 million a year to deride democratic pluralism.

This Russian campaign, what one witness describes as the 'weaponization of information,' seriously threatens U.S. security.

I couldn't agree with you more.

I was one of the few people who thought it was a good AUMF.

I worry about Iran's role in Iraqi military operations because what does that portend for the political future of Iraq?

Congress would reassert the important role we are empowered to play by the Constitution.

How important is it for Congress to pass a new AUMF and what would be the consequences if we did not do so?

But an approved, with a strong bipartisan vote of an improved AUMF preserves and strengthens America's strategic leadership and also puts Daesh on notice that its end is in sight.

It is now my pleasure to yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from Texas, Sheila Jackson Lee, my friend. (Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to revise and extend her remarks.)

It is my great pleasure to yield 5 minutes to the gentlewoman from Illinois (Ms. Kelly), the author of this resolution.

It is now my pleasure to yield 4 minutes to my good friend from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), the Democratic whip. (Mr. HOYER asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)

We have worked very hard on this committee to have bipartisanship because both the chairman and I agree that if there is one place where we need bipartisanship more than any other place, it involves foreign policy.

And that's why Ranking Member Engel and I have a letter going to the President, signed by over 350 Members of Congress, demanding that the verifiable constraints on Iran's program last decades, not, as being discussed, a shorter period of…

the single most significant thing we could do to prevent further emboldening Iran in its actions in the region.

I believe that a nuclear agreement should not whitewash the fact that Iran remains a destabilizing actor in the region and funds terrorism.
