I rise in support of H. Res. 728, a bill that reaffirms the U.S. commitment to promoting democracy, human rights, and the rule of law in Cambodia.

There's no reason we should give up a spy because you have a person who shot somebody point blank.

My complaint is we just don't insist on concessions from this government.

This government is not going to give any concessions until some pressure is put on them.

I think the thing that I find so disheartening, so unfortunate, about FBI Director Comey's decision not to recommend criminal charges against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton last week was that, for a lot of Americans, it looked…

I am still not changing my opinion on cameras.

Should we not make it more accessible to the public, more convenient to them, so that if they want to watch...?

This one-size-fits-all will do, I believe, far more harm than good.

I would hope the people in the Dayton area realize how aggressive you have been in protecting Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

The number of F-35s to procure a year is probably closer to 60.

Do you believe that the current planned F-35 squadrons are adequate to maintain a forcible presence in the Pacific theater?

My dad, who was a World War II veteran, and my mom for many years got their health care here at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

We appreciate the sacrifices that all of you are making for us every day and the need to make sure that we provide our men and women on the front lines with the very best equipment that is available.

There is little question that North Korea's antics are developing into a real threat to the United States and our allies around the world.

I commend my colleague Mr. Rohrabacher for continuing to bring this up.

I claim time in opposition. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Ohio is recognized for 5 minutes.

I think this kind of rhetoric can be counterproductive but also damaging for the long-term prospects for national reconciliation, which is absolutely critical.

I do remain somewhat weary. Although Sri Lanka is in the midst of early signs of actually attaining a sustaining peace and democracy, the scars of the civil war still remain.

I have taken a particular interest in Sri Lanka and I visited there and been in the northeast and saw the burned-out buildings and a lot of the damage and things which had been caused by a lot of years of war and a lot of lives destroyed.

Maybe that is something that we ought to do. My time is expired so I will end it with this, but maybe on the forms that we get from the IRS as citizens, maybe there ought to be in great big letters on the envelopes that are going out and…

Thank you Congressman Chabot for supporting the ABLE to Work Act.

I always paid very close attention to the U.S.-Singapore relationship, and it is a very tiny country who really holds exceptional importance to the U.S.

Congress needs to make it clear that corruption is not only a money laundering concern but it is a human rights concern.

Corruption is a human rights crime as well.

They held elections obviously in 2015, and it has kind of marked, I would say, a political shift that is pretty significant in the country.
