Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, last night, I introduced bipartisan resolution H. Res. 92, condemning North Korea's development of multiple intercontinental ballistic missiles and calling for an application of all available sanctions. Sadly, the dictatorship in North Korea has been testing nuclear weapons, threatening the people of South Korea. This resolution clearly outlines the progression of North Korea's recent aggression--nuclear tests, ballistic missile tests, and their willingness to share weapons technology with state sponsors of terrorism like Iran and Syria. It is time to stand up to North Korea's aggression. An ICBM with a nuclear warhead is a direct threat to the United States and our allies, especially South Korea. Along with Congressman Eliot Engel, we are the only two Members of Congress to have visited North Korea. I believe this resolution is a crucial first step to achieving peace through strength, especially following Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis' positive visit to South Korea last week. I am grateful this resolution is bipartisan, cosponsored by colleagues, Representatives Mike Rogers, Seth Moulton, Ted Yoho, and Brad Sherman, along with the Korea Caucus co-chair Gerry Connolly. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________”
