I strongly support H. Res. 447, a bipartisan resolution I authored that supports the democratic and European aspirations of the people of Ukraine and their right to choose their own future.

I believe that is correct.

I think that any objective observation of what has been happening in Ukraine seems clear to me that this government is going against the will of the people.

What should we be doing differently moving forward to help make South Sudan a more successful state?

We are exploring possible options for pressuring those individuals who have been spoilers to the peace process--those individuals who have committed atrocities and who are committing human rights violations.

Neither side is budging. The fighting is continuing.

I have no further speakers, Mr. Speaker, so I yield back the balance of my time.

Dennis S. Rodman of NBA fame has announced that he and 10 or so other basketball players are going to North Korea, he said, to visit his friend, the notorious butcher and dictator, Kim Jong Un of North Korea. Bringing American basketball…

It is my pleasure to yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Clarke).

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

He ought to sign the BSA and stop the nonsense.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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?

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.

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

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