Foreign aid should be conditional. It should be reviewed annually.

We don't know what is going to happen next.

I am grateful America stands by Israel, and I yield the balance of my time.

I personally believe that there still is a center in this place that is ready to roll up its sleeves and find a path between the two sides.

The decision on Friday by the leadership of the House to basically cancel all the session days that were scheduled in October, to basically leave town for 7 weeks, you know, that does not comply with the spirit of Senator Gramm's…

Secretary Panetta has indicated this could lead to a hollow force.

I think we need to point out that there actually has been--lightning is going to strike--bipartisan cooperation in regard to worldwide security protection.

I would like to join with my colleagues in thanking the persons of the Foreign Service. It is such remarkable bravery.
