We are all inspired by the witnesses today, their commitment, their service on behalf of the American families, defending American families.

That is why Congressman Levin and I sponsored a resolution condemning Burma's military for their assault against democracy.

We must continue to stand with the people of Burma in their struggle for democracy.

As co-chairman of the congressional Cambodia Caucus, along with my Democratic colleague, Alan Lowenthal, we have consistently denounced Prime Minister Hun Sen's increasingly repressive campaign to stamp out democracy in Cambodia, and will…

I'm grateful that with the leadership in our home State with Governor Henry McMaster in South Carolina, that we've been diligent in adopting tools to mitigate fraud.

What steps do you plan to take to improve the medical claim adjudication process and delivery of promised goods?

Do you have plans to work with the stakeholders to develop a more transparent, equitable, and claimant friendly adjudication process as Congress has intended?

Thank you, Chairman and thank you Ranking Member Virginia Foxx, both of you for your leadership of the Committee.

But their actions, clearly, indicate they're not serious, OK. They're developing missiles to deliver what they plan to do in the future.

As a former journalist myself, I'm just shocked that we would have American media be so complicit in promoting a false narrative that Hamas is not totally responsible.

Mr. Secretary, respectfully, this would have not occurred if there hadn't been rocket attacks.

The time for platitudes and vague promises are over. We need action and we need it yesterday.

Now we must mitigate the fallout, and that starts with honoring our promises to those Afghans who risked their lives to work alongside our troops and personnel.

I've repeatedly said that Vladimir Putin is not our friend.

Don't tell me what you value. Show me your budget and I'll tell you what you value.

Sadly, American media of the left have become a propaganda arm of Hamas terrorists.

I strongly support a Space Force National Guard.

It ensures that the Guard has the statutory support to lean forward in regard to cybersecurity defense of critical infrastructure.

I am encouraged. I have actually seen the improvements in Bulgaria and Romania.

I am encouraged that America has joined with a Dutch-led European Union [EU] mobility project.

I want to thank our witnesses for being here, and how important what they do is for our country.

Input in the future, Egypt should be such an important part of stability in the Middle East and a strong ally of the United States so any way we can back them up to not be reliant on anything that relates to Putin.

Putin uses the base in Syria to challenge NATO's southern flank, a direct threat to Turkey, to Greece, to Bulgaria, to Albania, to Italy.

I appreciate the leadership of Chairman Ted Deutch assisting in the 40 billion-dollar aid package.
