In my judgment, this determination was arbitrarily reached without a single visit to a UNFPA program.

In truth, UNFPA is a trusted partner that provides critical family planning obstetrics, pre- and postnatal services.

I would like you to share with us the capabilities of the health organizations that are going to displace UNFPA health practitioners in Zaatari or other places where they have been so successful.

At this time of unprecedented human suffering, we are looking to you to ensure these fears do not become realities.

These cuts would close the door on Americans who are learning the skills to earn a better life.

I do not want, frankly, the responsibility for these major infrastructure programs that the President talked about, and how he was going to create jobs, fall on the tax base of our local citizens.

While I am very pleased that your budget focuses on readiness and strengthening our military, I have serious concerns about how this dynamic world would impact nondefense discretionary funding.

I am a strong supporter of public-private partnerships, but I am strongly opposed to a proposal when President Trump has emphasized infrastructure.

I am concerned that the President's plan lacks actual funding and, instead, would put a burden on State and local taxpayers to pay for those programs.

I am so concerned about the growing cyber threats against the United States' interests and assets both at home and overseas.

It would be unfair, in my judgment, to force New Yorkers to pay for even more, particularly when many infrastructure developments and economic gains in New York benefit the economy of the entire Nation.

I know many of us sleep better at night in this very difficult world knowing that you are there making decisions.
