I would just ask you to please look into that matter and make sure your agency is doing everything possible to, again, protect our businesses here so that we can actually create jobs.
I would hope that here in the House Foreign Affairs Committee we maintain a tradition of straightforward intellectual pursuit.
For years, however, concerns have mounted about deep and widespread corruption within the Palestinian political establishment, including potential fraudulent use of U.S. financial assistance.
Since taking office, President Obama has repeatedly emphasized his belief that a resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of America's core interests in the Middle East.
Reading the papers and listening to television news reports, however, one would have the sense that the only barrier to prosperity for Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza is Israeli intransigence.
I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act…
This prompted the SCAF to declare the entire Lower House of Parliament invalid.
The trial against civil society NGO workers is still ongoing and perhaps most disturbingly recently, measures implemented by the SCAF appear to have the effect of actually rolling back democratic progress.

I think I reserved. The Acting CHAIR. Does the gentleman seek unanimous consent to reclaim his time?
May I ask how much time I have left of my 5 minutes? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman had 2 minutes, but yielded back his time.
I would argue that you all know a whole lot better how to spend your money than the federal government does.
This is a matter of national security. This amendment would force the United States to be 100 percent reliant on the Russian and European suppliers of enriched uranium, a compound critical to America's energy and national security needs…
I am deeply disturbed to hear that the administration is even considering offering the regime in Tehran the ability to enrich domestically.
Allowing Iran to enrich on its own soil even with the appropriate safeguards would allow the regime to continue to stockpile low-enriched uranium
I will not be holding my breath for a breakthrough, at least not a real one,
I remain very skeptical about the administration's current policy which continues to be a combination of engagement and pressure.
One area that I think has been a dismal failure is our ability to influence Afghanistan relative to the poppy.
