A 20-year war deserved comprehensive and bipartisan oversight.

It was not Joe Biden who crafted the February 2020 deal. It was, in fact, his Republican predecessor that made the agreement with the Taliban.

There are a lot of folks who feel that America, in a way, is becoming a police state.

I want to ask unanimous consent that Rep. Courtney who worked very hard on the AUKUS agreement participate at today's hearing.

It's good to be home, and I want to thank you, Mr.

the Biden Administration's approach to sanctions on Russia, I believe has been unprecedented, has been impactful, and has meaningfully limited Russia's ability to conduct its illegal and unjustifiable war of aggression against Ukraine.

Let me be clear. I am concerned about the disturbing allegations against the 12 UNRWA employees and I welcome Secretary Blinken's decision to temporarily pause UNRWA's funding while the United States investigates.

I agree with my colleague, Representative Manning, that no U.S. funding should support any entity that supports terrorism or employs individuals who support terrorist organizations, including in UNRWA.

I thank them for their focus on bringing American citizens wrongfully detained abroad home and pledge to continue to work with them, to work with also Representative Tenney and any others to bring Ryan home also.

I must oppose the amendment.

I strongly support this measure that was put forward by my good friend Representative Case.
