We urge all nations to respect the right of these states to enter into beneficial partnerships of their choosing.

I believe that the good work done by this committee on the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act was likely the best healthcare-related legislating done by Congress last year.

To me, diseases like muscular dystrophy are why the accelerated approval pathway is so important.

I have always fought for those with rare and orphan diseases.

The Iranian regime hasn't paused its nuclear program; why should we pause our sanctions efforts as the administration is pressuring Congress to do?

This intense pressure brought Iran back to the negotiating table, and this pressure must be maintained.

He may be the most moderate of all the hardliners that were allowed to run, but he is no reformer.

Iran remains the world's top state sponsor of terrorism, and continues to support Hezbollah.

Netanyahu has said that we shouldn't reach an interim deal with Iran where they only limit part of their nuclear program

I support the President's effort to engage Iran and believe we must continue to explore every diplomatic option to resolve this crisis.

The biggest threat so far, by far, is Iran's continuing effort to develop a nuclear weapons capability.

Iran is not agreeing to suspend all enrichment.

my Republican colleagues are actually rooting for the sky to fall.

You're really on the wrong side of history here.

I think unlike in the Balkans in the 1990s when Members of Congress like yourself were providing leadership on the issue, it is very clear from the debate that we had 2 months ago here in Congress about whether to authorize the use of…

I think the United States is not going to be prepared to act unilaterally, as it threatened to do in the Balkans.

the worst possible thing the international community could do in Syria is to deploy the International Criminal Court to go after war criminals in that country.

I think that's a pretty powerful statement for why we need affordable healthcare for all of our citizens.

It is the law, and frankly, I find it disconcerting that my Republican colleagues have done nothing but root for this law to fail.

I think this is a conflict where there are bad actors on all sides.

My Republicans colleagues' actions here remind me of a story I read when I was a little boy and that's the story of 'Chicken Little' who ran around yelling the sky is falling, the sky is falling, but unlike 'Chicken Little' my Republican…

I think these actions make it tougher for us to influence them, not easier.

It just seems to me it's not very wise to risk alienating our traditional allies and friends including Egypt, Israel and the Gulf States.

Morsi famously promised to rule for all Egyptians but upon taking office he failed to uphold basic democratic values.

I really think it's like cutting off your nose to spite your face.
