It is our responsibility as leaders of the free world to step up and ensure that human traffickers face every possible hurdle as they seek to coerce women and children into, literally, slavery in these modern times.

This bill helps address a critical issue protecting women and girls who face challenges literally at birth.

I have to say that, under Hun Sen, we are about as far from a democracy as you can get.

Shutting down independent press, suppressing opposition and civil society, threatening civil war if your party doesn't win, jailing your political opponent, and then dissolving their party so there is essentially no opposition, that is not…

It is a terrible shame and travesty what is occurring in Cambodia right now, because it could be so much better.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise in support of H.R. 477, and I want to thank Chairman Hensarling and Chairman Huizenga for their hard work on this effort. While we are finally seeing improvements in our economy, we will not…

I would like to give credit to my colleague from Illinois Robin Kelly for introducing, along with myself, some legislation awhile back, the Protecting Girls' Access to Education Act.

I am deeply concerned that China's growing global assertiveness puts the future of Tibet and the Tibetan people at an even greater risk.

I appreciate the chairman yielding to me. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H. Con. Res. 90. This is a bipartisan bill condemning the Burmese military's systemic attacks on the Rohingya in Rakhine State. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank…

China's decades-long oppression of Tibet is a constant example of the PRC's total disregard for religious freedom and human decency.

I have to say starting off, I think, Professor Bray, I think you have got a reasonably good idea as far as maybe the way to handle this.

Stability in the Middle East is in the best interests of our nation, obviously, and the world.

Nothing threatens our allies in the region more than an unchecked Iran.

For far too long, the Burmese military has repressed the Rohingya, denying them political and civil rights.

It is disgraceful. It is a slap in the face to our close ally. And we ought to change that, and we need to pass that legislation.

As former chairman of the Foreign Affairs' Subcommittee on the Middle East and having traveled to Yemen myself a couple years ago, I rise in support of H. Res. 599, a resolution that calls for an end to the conflict in Yemen and denounces…

I would argue that we saw the results of that, which was the rise of ISIS.

I think there ought to be considerable concern when one considers the rise of Iran in the region.

The previous administration pulled out of Iraq. And I had been there, you know, a number of times.

I want to thank Ms. Ros-Lehtinen, Chairman Royce, and all the other folks that have worked on a number of bills here today. I rise in strong support of H. Res. 359; H.R. 3329; H.R. 3342; and H.R. 1698, that one, in particular, aims to…

I thank all those who spoke on this legislation, a very bipartisan, good legislation, here this afternoon on the House floor. In closing, whether it is new software system for tracking contract payments or a new medical device to help with…

Chairman Royce has been a strong proponent of this, as has Eliot Engel. I want to especially thank Robin Kelly for her leadership on this. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 2408, a bipartisan bill that aims to provide a safe…

The previous administration touted Burma as a success story and relaxed many of the restrictions that have been longstanding, including on the Burmese military.

Unfortunately, we are seeing that, in many ways, the Burma that we see today isn't that much different than the one that we knew only a few years ago.

I rise, as I say, in opposition to this amendment. The proposed amendment offered by my colleague from Washington would increase funds appropriated for the Small Business Administration's entrepreneurial development programs by $3.8…
