I believe we should stay in the JCPOA to ensure aggressive and vigorous enforcement of the deal.

We are fulfilling the principles that you have enshrined in the READ Act.

I worry about the schools, I worry about feeding programs, and this is not a healthy response.

We cannot make America stronger by eliminating the programs that make our nation more secure.

Sanctions outside of JCPOA dealing with ballistic missiles, et cetera, certainly, in my judgment, should be imposed.

It is a 25 percent cut. And I know that the chairman and I and this committee, as you can see, there is really bipartisan support for these programs.

The Administration has said it will not sign a new sanctions waiver for Iran by May 12th unless changes are made to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, JCPOA.

If enacted, this budget would substantially harm critical U.S. interests, put our embassies and diplomats at risk, and stymie our efforts to counter violent extremism and fight terrorism.

Soft power is largely found in the power of inspiration.

This lack of accountability feeds a global perception that the United States condones corruption and human rights violations.

the less we spend on diplomacy, the more we are going to have to spend on bullets.
