The incredible loss of life is tragic beyond words, and the loss of thousands of years of history places an enormous gap in the historical record of Nepal's people.

The devastating earthquake that hit Nepal on April 25 was heartbreaking.

The dedicated U.S. team that joined the response effort deserves our gratitude.

The international response to the quake, however, has been considerable.

I am planning to introduce a bill shortly that would statutorily eliminate the origination fees on 7(a) loans, the express loans to veterans.

I recently introduced HR 10-23, the Small Business Investment Company Capital Act of 2015, which would increase the amount of capital available to small businesses by raising the family of funds cap from $225 million to $350 million.

I think we all know that access to capital is one of the most critical challenges that is faced by small businesses in today's environment.

Sheikh Hasina insisted provisions were in place to conduct a fair election, and we know that didn't really happen.

I met with both Sheikh Hasina and Khaleda Zia, and it was evident at that time that both sides sat at an impasse.

Bangladesh has long represented a moderate secular nation, which has worked hard to pull itself out of extreme poverty.

Allowing Taiwan to participate in Interpol is beneficial for all of us.

This fiction that it is a separate country is something that at some point needs to be put to rest.

It is important that they know we stand by their side.

We have got to make it simpler, and flatter, and fairer.

The problems in Yemen are just incredible.

I would argue that they certainly have gotten worse under this administration.

Our Nation demands a vital small-business industrial base. It is fundamental to the health of our Nation as whole.

I hope to see those provisions incorporated in this year's NDAA.

This President--there has been no President that has damaged relations between the United States and Israel more than this President.

Isn't it foolish to trust them now? Wouldn't a bad deal be throwing Israel under the proverbial bus?

That is the least credible answer I have heard all morning, that this--no President has done more for the American-Israeli relationship than this President.

Thank you, Chairman Chabot, for all of your work in advancing the Small Business Regulatory Flexibility Improvements Act earlier this year.

The time for willful blindness, for looking the other way at North Korea's proliferation, money laundering, and its kleptocracy is over.

Kim Jong-un's regime represents an imminent threat to the global nonproliferation effort, to the global economy, and the global financial system.

I know that you're more than up to the job. Speaking Chinese is something that I never accomplished; I really never accomplished speaking in any other language other than English, but you've mastered it.
