Joe Wilson

Thank you, Chairman Ted Deutch.

Another concern I have, and this would be, General, the terrorism threat will not end with the withdrawal, and I am concerned that we are leaving ourselves with no infrastructure or counterterrorism abilities.

I am really concerned that we are turning the country over to people who have every intent to develop an ability to come back and attack the United States.

I sincerely believe that we should defeat the terrorists overseas or they will, again, commit mass murder of American families.

There is significant concern that the societal gains made in the last 20 years may be undone.

And that needs to be promoted.

This creates--destroys jobs in the district I represent.

I am so grateful for the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. What a great job he has done for the people of India.

Thank you, Chairman Greg Meeks, for your leadership, very positive leadership.

But I, again, thank the participants today. And what inspiring people that we have serving our country. We appreciate it so much. Thank you.

I look forward to joining with Chairman Garamendi to work with you.

I am a very grateful and proud Navy dad.

The stability of the Nation's--of the Navy's maintenance industrial base is an important consideration in the context of great power competition.

The threats we face are only becoming more complex as we confront a rising China who is building ships at a faster rate than anyone has in recent history and now has the world's largest navy.

The issues of delays and cost increases when it comes to maintaining our ship and submarine fleet is unfortunately a problem we have faced for a long time as a challenge to deterrence to provide for peace through strength.

What kind of job reduction could occur within the pharmaceutical industry if H.R. 3 were enacted?

4,401 jobs would be destroyed through the H.R. 3.

And indeed Joe Courtney deserves a gold star.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, and thank you for calling this important hearing. And we appreciate so much the witnesses who are appearing here today on behalf of the freedom and liberty of the people of Burma.

I particularly identify with what has occurred.

Thank you, Chairman John Garamendi and Ranking Member Doug Lamborn, for convening this extraordinarily important hearing.

Thank you. And good afternoon top Chairman Marcy Kaptur and Ranking Member Mike Simpson.

I want to say to Mr. Mitsui from Oregon and Ms. Bonamici. I can say that you stand as a textbook example of where we're trying to go as far as free community college for our communities.

That community is represented by Congresswoman Nancy Mace.

Thank you, Chairman Norcross.
