Modernizing our nuclear forces and associated infrastructure is necessary to defend the homeland promoting peace through strength.

We look forward to working with you to have a positive impact.

And additionally, Dr. Anderson, the nuclear modernization efforts are so important.

And having grown up in the holy city of Charleston, I remember the Nautilus submarines going back and forth and the consequence of that and that is peace through strength with the implosion of the Soviet Union.

President Donald Trump's budget for the national security matters promotes peace through strength.

President Trump has made it clear his priority at the Department of Defense is to modernize our aging nuclear enterprises.

We know that the Department of Defense has an enduring mission to provide capable, credible military forces needed to deter war and protect the security of our Nation, peace through strength.

China's use of Confucius Institutes and other avenues of influence, not only in the United States but around the world, is a central aspect of China's broader strategy for influence around the world.

The threats against Belarus, and, indeed, the people of Belarus now see--particularly appreciate Secretary Pompeo visiting Minsk, and letting the people of Belarus know that we look forward to working with them in the future.

I am grateful that President Donald Trump's budget submitted yesterday reinforces our efforts to support our troops and military families.

The capabilities, as we see, of near-peer competitors around the world, we have got to be prepared.

I was deeply concerned about the vulnerabilities of these systems to jamming and interference from China.

I think we have a special place when we deal with issues of the Holocaust and anti-Semitism.

There is no dearth of opportunity to engage civilly in this and hopefully we can come from this.

They were murdered, they were murdered, and that word needs to be used every time.

Tom Lantos was the only Holocaust survivor to serve in Congress.

We can recognize that Nawres Hamid, an Iraqi American was killed by an Iranian rocket on December 27th.

I am just so proud of the President's courage to go and eliminate Soleimani.

Thank you, Chairman Smith, and thank you for calling this very important hearing, and we look forward on Friday to providing a very warm welcome to Chairman Smith to South Carolina.

We must all work together toward making a deal with Iran that makes the world a safer and more peaceful place.

Many of us were upset with the administration's lack of response against the attack on the Saudi oilfields.

I dare say that a lot of people that were out making comments probably did not even know Mr. Soleimani's name until he was killed.

President Trump's order to take out Soleimani was morally, constitutionally, and strategically correct.

It is inconceivable to me to hear that there should be an immunity for persons because they are a leader of the world's No. 1 sponsor of terrorism.

I appreciate raising the threats to Israel. We know that it is Iran that has placed tens of thousands of rockets with Hezbollah in Lebanon to challenge and threaten the people of Israel.
