I am very concerned that we are shifting an enormous amount of the cost of this onto consumers who are not well-positioned, as you point out, to detect most of this conduct.

It is important to note that 22 million people commented on net neutrality or an open Internet.

I look forward to hearing the testimony of today's witnesses on the potential benefits, or, if relevant, limitations of using antitrust law to protect consumers and innovation in the Internet marketplace.

I would ask, again, that you reject publicly the idea that you would use simply the numbers of cases or the amount of time it takes to complete immigration work as a measure of the quality of a judge's work.

It is not so difficult to do--courts do this all the time.

Do you think that the Atlanta courts with a 98 percent rate of asylum denial is the model that other immigration courts should be following?

The current economic sanction so far is not enough. So we should increase more targeted sanctions.

We should continue to tell the North Korean leadership and, if possible, Kim Jong-un himself that America will not accept North Korea as a nuclear-armed state.

If the Chinese Government helps North Korean defectors to go freely to South Korea, I think that there could be a massive exodus of North Korean population to China through their borders with China.

We should urge the Chinese Government not to repatriate North Korean defectors back to North Korea.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 3, line 11, insert after ``settlement agreement'' the following: ``(except as provided in subsection…

I just want to ask the gentleman a question. You made reference to the decision of--I forget the word you used to describe bureaucrats.

Preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon and curbing their malign regional and global influence is of paramount importance for American national security and the security of our allies.

I think it is kind of a frightening idea of don't get bogged down with confusion for the administration on what their approach is.

There are many members of this committee who have expressed deep concern about the hollowing-out of diplomatic posts.

Thank you, Madam Chairman.

Unilaterally amending the provisions of that deal... would be considered by all of our allies in Iran violations of the deal

The problem is that the United States cannot unilaterally alter fundamental terms of a deal

I am very, very concerned about the President's lack of leadership on this in terms of simply refusing to certify it without any basis for that.

One of the most powerful arguments that was made in support of the agreement to prevent Iran from being a nuclear weapon state is that it will strengthen our ability to respond aggressively and effectively to the malign and increasingly…

We here in this body cannot simply and unilaterally change an internationally-negotiated agreement.

Unilaterally abandoning the nuclear deal without clear cause would leave the United States isolated and make it impossible to do exactly what the President says that we must, lead the other nations in the world.
