"Religious freedom should be a nonnegotiable tenet of life in our modern world."

"Religious freedom, as we know well, is a core American value."

"I expect we will hear more from our witnesses today about the important link between promoting religious freedom and combating religious extremism."

"We continue to look for ways... as we cut nonessential services, overheads, consolidations, continue to try to find savings."
