I believe it could be a great opportunity to strengthen the U.S.-Saudi relationship while recognizing the Saudis' shortcomings.

I thank the chairman for yielding. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong support of H.R. 10, the Financial CHOICE Act, and I want to thank Chairman Hensarling for his leadership on this important issue. For the last 7 years, Dodd-Frank has…

I want to commend the President on the emphasis that he is putting on keeping our brave men and women in uniform across the country to be as safe as possible.

What kind of sick mind could have done such a horrible thing?

That is why I think President Trump's trip recently was so important, to get those Sunni nations on our side.

Does it make sense that we finance people who will not come to grips and will not go and actually seek a real peace with Israel after all of this time?

when it comes to foreign aid, that is one of the things--everybody always says, we are spending way too much on foreign aid.

Somebody finally got the message from the American people that we are not going to put up with the corruption, with the financing of our enemies that we see over and over again when we look at our foreign aid budget.

I think, on both sides, this has been abused for years by both Democrats and Republicans, where people who really aren't qualified are the faces of the American people around the world.
