The federal government should be doing everything it can to help these small but mighty job creators flourish.

The government can screw up royally as it did out in Colorado some time ago in the Animas River.

I think all of us have probably had Falun Gong members in our office, and they literally have literature and books showing the torture and the horrific treatment that they have gotten at the hands of the Chinese Government is outrageous.

We want to thank the Inspector General for appearing before this Committee today.

Now, however, I am beginning to hear skepticism about the Modi government's follow-through in some areas.

Many of us in Congress and in the administration welcomed Prime Minister Modi's ascension to power with pretty significant enthusiasm.

I would stress, as I have in past hearings on this topic... that it is essential for the administration to continue proactive engagement with India.

I think the U.S. has, for the most part, succeeded in fostering this relationship over the years.

Many consider the U.S.-India relationship an indispensable one, and I tend to believe that myself.

I would argue that that language itself is reprehensible because it infers that people that don't buy in completely to the fact that we ought to be spending huge amounts of money when it could be considerable loss of jobs and taxpayer…

I don't think there was a whole lot, we certainly didn't vote on approving what the President committed of the hard-working American people's dollars.

Are we in some legal jeopardy for expressing some concern about the use of the American people's tax dollars in that way?

Exemptions from SBIR require Congressional action.

The Obama administration says sympathetic things but it does very little and its responses to ISIS' barbarism has continued to be too little too late.

There's little doubt that the Syrian Government and its allies are not only perpetrating war crimes but committing crimes against humanity.

The Syrian Government has continued to commit atrocities against its own people and little has been done to address this affront to civilization.

Well, there's no doubt that we have to continue to invest in training so that all of our folks are digitally literate and able to investigate in that way.

It is getting harder and harder, especially for small business, to do business with the Department of Defense.

We appreciate it. And we look forward to working with this committee to ensure that small businesses continue to provide the Department of Defense and the Federal Government with solutions and foster innovation and competition that provide…

I'd argue that this administration's policy with respect to Russia has been feckless and, unfortunately, I'm out of time.

It seems to me that from the start of this administration, from Hillary's famous pressing of the reset button, that we've been played like chumps by Putin.

I think next to the Iran deal I would argue that it was this administration's greatest mistake and it led, I think, directly to the rise of ISIS.

These young pro-democracy folks pleaded for our help--pleaded for it and they got exactly nothing from this administration.

They are obviously one of our strongest--if not our strongest--allies on this globe.

This should always be at the forefront of any talks, when we ever talk with Iran.
