Transparency in government is obviously a pillar of our democracy and something we should all ensure continues into the digital age.

It is good that we are having this hearing today on how to look at the Presidential Records Act (PRA) and the Federal Records Act (FRA).

In order to have that transparency and accountability we need a record of what the government is doing, day in and day out.

we have a brutal, illegal, totally unprovoked unjustified attack on our ally, a democratic country, a sovereign country

everything makes him mad.

I think Putin miscalculated.

we have got to do more, both in terms of military assistance and in terms of sanctions

By June 24, it may be too late.

It will be too late otherwise.

It is not really a concern to me that there is some disagreement in the Administration because all it requires is for the President and his team to decide this is the way we are going to go.

Penetrating the Kremlin's information firewall, it seems to me, is a critical step here to allow the Russian people to know the truth.
