Indian Point has an operational history that has been plagued by serious questions, unplanned shutdowns, leaking fuel pools, inadequate emergency notification and response systems.

The bill says the Chairman again can declare an emergency only in response to an eminent safety or security threat.

I have been particularly interested in that for years, have a bill that does it.

We must stand for freedom of underprivileged communities around the world. That is what defines us as the world's greatest democracy.

We, of course, have urged it to be done as quickly as possible.

He ought to sign the BSA and stop the nonsense.

I believe that we need to keep the sanctions pressure on Iran and that the pressure track will actually strengthen your hand.

Why are the countries that seem to be most affected by it, that are closest in geography to Iran, that feel an existential threat, why don't they like the deal?

I just think if there are six Security Council resolutions calling on Iran to stop enriching, the least they could do is stop enriching while we are negotiating with them.

I was very, very proud of it, to work on such a bipartisan basis with Chairman Royce.

This is the policy I favored. And the President, together with Secretary Clinton, succeeded beyond expectations in uniting the international community against Iran's nuclear ambitions.

The President initially focused on the diplomatic track. But the limitations of that one-dimensional approach soon became apparent.

I want to make it clear that I have some serious reservations about the agreement.

I want to commend you for your incredible personal efforts to secure this deal.

Several weeks ago, thanks to sustained efforts by Congress and the administration, the Iranians finally admitted that the sanctions are hurting them badly.

It is obviously a benefit to New York, and the safety of New Yorkers is obviously all of our concerns.

I believe the Champlain Hudson line provides a portion of that energy.

I believe, and so does our governor and all the elected officials in the surrounding area, Members of Congress who represent the area in Westchester County, we think it presents one of the most serious safety and environmental threats…

It will be critical that for the upcoming elections to be seen as credible that the country--the people of Burma are able to freely choose their leadership in free and fair elections.

Burma will not realize its full democratic potential until the Constitution is reformed.

The trustees' report shows post-ACA solvency of Medicare is extended.

I think it is also worth noting that all of the cuts to Medicare that were included in the ACA were also included in each of the Republican budget proposals for the last 3 years.

You just really can't have it both ways.

It is time we updated our laws.

I strongly support the U.S. effort here to help the Philippines recover and rebuild.
