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

To be frank, as this committee reads about us being on the brink of a 'historic agreement,' you have a challenge in terms of Congressional buy-in.

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.

We have worked to cut of ISIS' funding stream, cracking down on their efforts to smuggle oil and kidnap for ransom.

I would not rule out using American ground troops to take territory if that is necessary to defeat ISIS.

I look forward to working with Chairman Royce and all of our colleagues on both sides of the aisle to thoroughly review the President's proposal and our overall strategy to defeat ISIS in the days and weeks ahead.

The coalition is working on a multilateral, the way a multilateral effort should and when questions arise we are trying to meet concerns.

We are attempting to stem the flow of foreign fighters, helping to ensure that when we remove an ISIS extremist from the battlefield there isn't another recruit from France or England or the U.S. waiting to take his place.

Climate change is real. There is already enough CO2 in the atmosphere to ensure that the U.S. will have more episodes of climate disruption.

I would certainly concur with everything Ed has said.

Our ability to do good things has been hampered by significant cuts to our committee budget.

Thank you very much, Chairman Royce.

There is nothing in what we decided on the 17th that we believe is a concession to the Cuban Government.

We strongly believe that having an Embassy in Havana will enable us to do more things that help us more effectively empower the Cuba people.

I agree with both of those proposals. And he said that in doing that, he would get the money by asking the very wealthiest to pay just a little bit more.
