Joe Wilson

I look forward to continue working with you, in particular, the two-site solution, the Savannah River Site and Los Alamos.

Hong Kong stands as a clear example to the average Chinese people that you can be both free and rich.

I urge my colleagues to do as well.

I am grateful to be a co-sponsor of all three measures today that deal with Hong Kong.

I appreciate so much President Donald Trump has courageously identified the democratic aspirations that are bursting under the chains of tyranny.

The world deluded itself to believe that China would honor its pledge of 'one country, two systems' after the British Government handed over control of Hong Kong to China in 1997.

I am grateful for the bipartisan support this committee is showing today in support of the brave people of Hong Kong.

I specifically never mention the name of any of the mass murderers who have conducted their operations.

I would like to thank you for your service to this country and for calling attention to the critical threat from global white nationalist terrorism.

I am particularly interested in hearing more about the international dimension of this troubling phenomenon.

There is no doubt that white supremacy extremism is a dangerous and hateful ideology which must be addressed.

I thank Chairman Hastings for his leadership on this issue and commend the Helsinki Commission staff for their hard work on the TRAP Act.

These criminal regimes do this by exploiting the very international rules-based order meant to prevent and fight international crime.

The enemies of freedom and democracy around the world have always persecuted those who dared to criticize them.

This is a very serious issue. The fact that countries like Russia, China, and Venezuela abuse their access to the International Criminal Police Organization, or INTERPOL, to issue bogus Notices with the express intent to repress dissent…

It is appalling that now these tyrants and authoritarian regimes around the world seek not only to persecute their critics at home: They now chase them to the ends of the Earth.

Russia is developing new strategic systems designed to get around the missile defenses of the United States.

It certainly was positive to see the agreement with Congressman Wright and Mr. Countryman about the success that President Ronald Reagan achieved.

Congratulations on your and Secretary Pompeo's success.

The messaging aspect of this is clear. The Southern Hemisphere is awakening to the reality that Hezbollah is a global terrorist threat.

And that was front page of the newspapers in Argentina. So, congratulations on your and Secretary Pompeo's success.

Thank you, Chairman Deutch. And thank you for this hearing.

I am really grateful that I have had two sons serve in Iraq and am just so hopeful for a free and democratic Iraq.

But it concerns me that there have been reports that U.S. foreign assistance has been dispersed to officially Iranian-backed militias tied to the IRGC.

As you cited, last week Argentina, a very dynamic country of extraordinary citizens, designated Hezbollah a foreign terrorist organization.
