Eliot Engel

It seems to me that the majority of the Serb population there doesn't support it and wouldn't support it.

I think that is a positive thing for Europe.

I think that their rejectionist attitude toward Kosovo is negative--more so negative for Serbia than anybody else, unfortunately.

It seems to me at a time when some countries are trying to close borders, Kosovo is trying to open its borders.

I have been a strong supporter of an independent Kosovo for many, many years.

I believe there have been many significant advances that the Affordable Care Act made in access to quality and affordable care for women.

I respect people's consciences. This is a sensitive issue, and it is sensitive all the way around.

I think conversely it works the other way as well. I think that people who make their own choices and their own decisions should not be impeded from getting the services that they want and they need.

I think that reluctance is gone because I think we see Assad murdering his own people.

I was the author of--sponsor of the Syrian Accountability Act.

I happen to believe that the Organization of American States, although very flawed, is a hell of a lot better with United States' participation.

I think a very good case can be made that we are better off being there.

I will vote for the Berman substitute, but I understand the chair's sincere frustration in wanting to change the way the U.N. and some of these other countries take us for granted.

My job isn't to dictate whether that is a rational law or an irrational law. My job is to facilitate the marketplace in a way that makes it cost-effective.

Who am I, and candidly, who are you, to tell each State what they want to have for their own----

And they are paying for that renewable energy. They are paying for that renewable energy. That is not being passed on to some amorphous people.

There can be no substitute for the family. There can be no substitute for parents. Government is not in it to substitute.

I mean if we want to have the head in the sand approach and pretend that obesity is not a problem, or know that it is a problem but have this sort of visceral reaction to government doing anything about anything, then I think we are really…

We need to see these criminals and these thugs brought to justice. We need to stop it.

I think we should discuss that today; (3) is the Merida Initiative moving fast enough?

The drug gangs I do not believe have political, religious or ideological goals. They are criminals trying to make money to peddle their illicit narcotics.

I think it would be good for us to, perhaps, get a briefing down the line about it.

I am as disturbed as you by the horrors carried out by the drug trafficking organizations in Mexico.

There is no more important relationship for the United States and Latin America then the one we have with Mexico.

I do know that. Unfortunately, it's been difficult passing things in the Senate because, quite frankly, the minority filibusters everything to death, and getting the 60 votes is very, very difficult.
