We are working together in a bipartisan manner. We both believe that foreign policy needs to be bipartisan wherever possible.

A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

When Chairman Royce and I were in Asia a few weeks ago, we raised with the Chinese leadership the situation in North Korea.

The North Korean regime would do better to help its own people and give them the things that they need.

I am one of the few Members of Congress that have been to North Korea, and I have been there twice.

The recent nuclear test conducted by the North was a dangerous provocation that raised tensions in Northeast Asia.

It's an absolute disgrace that we're going home. We should stay here until 'The Sequester' has ended. This is a stupid way to do it.

I think that it is clear to me that Indian Point should be shut down.

In closing, I just want to say that we can hear that Members on both sides of the aisle are speaking with one voice in unison, and I urge, again, the Congress to speak on a bipartisan basis to say that this is not acceptable and that we…

I believe they are, but how do we really know?

There is no question that the Sustainable Growth Rate formula is seriously flawed and needs to be permanently replaced.

We've spent tens of millions of dollars, almost 10 years of training African troops in Western Africa and particularly in Mali.

Unless these issues are addressed in a meaningful way, there is a risk of further radicalization in the north and prolonged conflict along ethnic lines.

If we can find a way to pay for military flyovers at parades and professional sporting events, then surely we can cover the cost of aiding a close ally in an operation that supports U.S. national security interests.

I think it's very timely and very good that we're doing this now.

I have been a strong proponent of doing everything we can to make the United States energy independent.

We can no longer afford to ignore climate change and I am hopeful that this Committee will seriously deal with the issue.

Climate change is a serious threat to our country and to the entire planet.

I believe in an 'all of the above approach' to energy independence, but we must include renewable energy as part of the mix.

The funds provided by Congress were inadequate.

This is a bipartisan problem.

But I think it is also fair to make the point the ARB made.

Over the past 2 years alone, the administration's requests for diplomatic security funding has been slashed by more than $0.5 billion in Congress.

Barack Obama was not responsible for the Benghazi attack any more than George W. Bush was responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

But with the exception of 2010, the Congress has consistently enacted less than requested.
