A very, very disturbing trend because dictatorships, whether it be in Venezuela or elsewhere, thrive on that kind of cooperation with a dictatorship like China.

I am doing a hearing before he comes on China's race to the bottom with North Korea on human rights abuses.

Now China is stepping into that void with the demise of the Soviet Union, and they are doing it all over the world.

A similar type of Chinese hegemony is actually occurring in Africa as well.

I spoke in my opening statement about John Kerry's words, that the end of the Monroe Doctrine was upon us.

I want to thank you for doing that and allowing me to share the dais with you today to talk about something that is dear to--

Biomedical research has increasingly become an important issue, touching the lives of all American citizens.

Disease has no party affiliation and distributes its devastating effects on humans equally.

The future of healthcare relies on our commitment to advancing scientific research.

I take a particular interest in Argentina just because of Senor Alberto Nisman and the Iranian issue and Hezbollah...

I look forward to hearing from our panelists to hear their assessment of the hemisphere's state of affairs when it comes to the freedom of speech.

I heard today words like opportunity and optimism, and I think that sums up what I see happening in Mexico. There is a heck of a lot of opportunity.

It is clear that maintaining and strengthening our energy relationship with Canada and Mexico is in the national interest of the United States.

The U.S. and Mexico relationship is amongst the most critical for our Nation's economic and public security.

Ladies and gentlemen, if it is a policymaking tool, it needs authorization by the policymaking body, the U.S. Congress.

I really do not see the Administration as being particularly transparent.

I am very, very concerned about the Spratly Islands and China's incursion there.

I just appreciate the opportunity to make a couple of statements.
