Plan Colombia has been a success.

The past 2 weeks in South Carolina have been inspiring as I learned and saw spontaneous acts of thoughtfulness and compassion for flood victims. The thousand-year rain event was a disastrous collision of a weather front from the west…

Fellow Members of Congress, the people of South Carolina have faced an unprecedented, catastrophic weather event, also known as a 1,000-year rain, exceeding 20 inches virtually overnight, causing flooding and widespread damage. We are…

I am just very appreciative of your efforts and the largely bipartisan support we have here.

I regret so much that--hey, I can remember the first time I went to Afghanistan with Sheila Jackson Lee. She pointed out that bad news has no feet--excuse me; what is it--good news has no feet and bad news has wings.

I am just so grateful for your service, for the service of American military personnel.

I thank the chairman. Mr. Speaker, I am grateful to support the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 and also thank Chairman Mac Thornberry for his leadership and hard work in bringing this important bill and conference…

Sadly, the President's strategy in Syria is failing, resulting in refugees fleeing violence and then drowning at sea.

And so, again, I want to thank you for being here, and we all look forward to your input to protect the American people.

The failure of the Train and Equip mission of Syrian Opposition Forces has given enemy reinforcements space to insert itself and prop up the Assad dictatorship.

This week the House Armed Services Committee, led by Chairman Mac Thornberry, marks Cyber Week, a week that highlights the importance of cyber to our families and to our military. This week of hearings, with witnesses from private…

I believe it's important that the U.S. and international community recognize that the situation in Iraq and Syria is, in fact, a global problem requiring broad international cooperation to promote stability in the region for families to…

It has been a real honor for me to work with Congressman Langevin as the ranking member on Emerging Threats.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And thank you and Ranking Member Smith for arranging for cyber week this week.

In 1987, I was grateful to be present in Columbia, South Carolina, when Pope John Paul II, as the Polish-born Pope, promoted liberation from communism in Europe. Yesterday, I was grateful to be present with Pope Francis. Prior to arriving…

Last week, the House of Representatives thoughtfully voted three times to oppose the Iranian nuclear deal. This bipartisan effort represented the will of the American people, where the majority oppose this deal. The first vote was a sense…

There is a clear fact that these are dangerous times and that the regime in Iran is a dangerous threat to world peace. The President's legacy of failed policies of weakness has led to the Middle East in chaos, with refugee families fleeing…

I am in strong opposition to House Resolution 3461, the to Approve the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, signed at Vienna on July 14, 2015, relating to the nuclear program of Iran. The President's failed legacy to execute a strategy of…

The President's failure to lead our Nation for a strategy of peace through strength has resulted in mass murders in the Middle East. We have seen his failure to take action after Syria violated his declared ``red line'' and used chemical…

Actually, the numbers you gave are what I have heard, too, that at least 70 percent of all business would be with the Cuban military.

How we can forget 1983, the attack on the Marine barracks in Beirut, which was a direct attack by Iran killing nearly 300 marines.

The thought that there would be self-inspection, it is inconceivable, of putting the American people at risk.

For us to be dealing with Islamofascists as if they are trustworthy is utterly inconceivable.

What will this do for Iran's well-documented support of terrorism and destabilization across the globe?

This August, the H. Canyon facility at the U.S. Department of Energy's Savannah River Site near Aiken, South Carolina, celebrated 60 years of service. H. Canyon is America's only hardened nuclear chemical separations plant still operating…
