This is not a new response.

So, obviously, there is no World War III right now.

Last, I would like to express my strong support for Mr. Ted Lieu's H.R. 3571, the City and State Diplomacy Act.

I would also like to thank my colleague, Mr. Lee Zeldin, for his hard work on H.R. 630, the Counterterrorism Screening Assistance Act of 2019.

This important resolution sends a strong message of support to the Iranian people and I thank Chairman Deutch for his work.

The Iranian people want a government that works for them, not to prop up a network of criminals and terrorists.

I truly believe that we are witnessing history today in Iran.

Thank you. And General Milley, again, thank you for your service. It is so reassuring to military families.

Well, thank you, because to me this provides sadly safe havens for terrorists to attack American families around the world and back home.

With the President's recent comments about pulling our troops out of Syria and keeping quote a peacekeeping force, how will this force accomplish any of the six objectives that you and General Milley have highlighted in your statements?

I believe that ISIS materialized, Mr. Secretary, because of the vociferous withdrawal from Iraq under the previous administration.

Is there a hotline where a resident could report an issue?

I am really grateful for the leadership at Fort Jackson.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank each of you for being here today.

I think where we had good base commanders it was taken serious and then in other areas maybe poor base command allowed part of these things to happen.

I think those provisions will be struck; that that is unacceptable to me to ask an 18-year-old soldier straight out of high school to sign a contract that makes him responsible for the legal fees of a multimillion-dollar corporation.

Each one of you were very perceptive and show a deep concern for the people of Lebanon.

These protests are, in effect, a popular vote of no confidence, not just in the current government, but in the entire Lebanese political system writ large.

For over a month now, the courageous people of Lebanon have taken to the streets demanding an end to the endemic corruption and sectarianism that have paralyzed their country for far too long.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And thank each of you.

The infrastructure of FRC East continues to lag in upgrades and new construction commitment from the Navy.

South Carolina is grateful. F-35s have been warmly welcome at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.

H.R. 554 recognizes this problem and seeks to hold our ally Saudi Arabia to its repeated commitments over the past 15 years to reform its problematic curriculum.

For too long, Saudi Arabia has played the role of both arsonist and firefighter in the fight against radicalization and violent extremism.

I want to thank the chairman for bringing up the Uyghur bill, S. 178, authored by Senators Rubio and Menendez.
