Iran continues to support terrorism and sow instability in the Middle East.

I was driving in this morning and heard again the reports that Assad, who we seem to be somewhat cozying up to--I don't know why--has apparently dropped some more poison gas on the civilian population.

I have always been very fond of USAID and the wonderful work that USAID does.

What will the administration and USAID do to help Ukraine, including another round of loan guarantees or loans?

I have long felt that U.S. foreign aid should be increased.

I, and many others, believe that we should be aiding Ukraine with--allowing them to have weapons to defend themselves.

Our investments in foreign assistance pay huge dividends in terms of our country's security, prosperity and values.

It is time for strong and unwavering support of Ukraine. It is time for this right now.

In Ukraine, the events of the past year and the ongoing Russian aggression threatens the security and stability of the entire region.

If we can't begin to change minds, then the struggle over Ukraine today will become a generational struggle for the future of Eastern Europe.

This is the right legislation, the right time, and I urge my colleagues to support it.

I also support H. Res. 53, a resolution condemning Boko Haram and encouraging free, fair, and ontime elections in Nigeria.

I am deeply concerned by the 6-week delay announced earlier this month by the elected commission.

I strongly support the two measures in this en bloc, H.R. 400, Trafficking Prevention in Foreign Affairs Contracting Act, and H. Res. 53, a resolution condemning the attacks by Boko Haram in Northeastern Nigeria.

It is time to raise the costs on the Kim Jong-un government.

The only way for the regime to ends its political and economic isolation is to abandon its current course.

I think that is actually very important. That China relationship is changing.

The North Korean people certainly deserve better than what they have.

The credibility of NATO is hanging in the balance with Putin bullying all the countries around Ukraine.

I think, if Putin continues to push Ukraine around and threaten other countries and NATO is not a sufficient deterrent, we are sort of sending the word to Putin that we are really a paper tiger.

I believe that the United States should provide Ukraine with defensive weapons.

As the committee considers the President's request for a military authorization against ISIS, members need to hear a better articulation of the administration's strategy.

Last Congress the House passed legislation authored by Ranking Member Eliot Engel and me to fix the BBG, the Broadcasting Board of Governors.

International affairs totals just over 1 percent of our Federal budget, and foreign aid accounts for less than 1 percent.

We haven't, in my opinion, lived up to the 1994 Budapest Memorandum at all.
