I hope it is a very large amount of debt held at the holding company level.

I am out of time. But all of us have been frustrated watching peacekeeping missions in Darfur and other places just be totally feckless.

Yet, I am concerned that we have not seen the progress to show for all of these investments.

I appreciate you being here with much lesser known witnesses behind you.

the law does not grant amnesty for war crimes or for crimes against humanity or other human rights abuses.

The framework agreement is an opportunity that I know the administration has worked hard to make real.

I will say that we do a lot around here to hurt our economy. You know, we are kind of like the biggest problem for the economy right now--is Washington.

Let me say this one more time. When we have a disaster, Congress responds.

I think all of us want to make sure that we protect the taxpayers, and so when we look at a program like this, that is obviously what we have an eye toward.

What the TRIA program does is actually create a mechanism to keep us from ever having to do that again.

I think both the administration and Iran want to actually keep perpetually rolling over this deal for additional 6- to 12-month periods.

Do you understand why there is a concern, here, that we are alleviating sanctions?

I think it had a lot to do with the secret negotiations that were taking place with Iran.

My fear is that, on the Iran-Russia deal, we are going to face the same situation.

I think the legislation had, as its intent, to send a credible threat, to international markets, that it is premature to go back into Iran.

I think you know that, again, all of us want to see a negotiated settlement.

We want to see a peaceful end to this.

I support very much the administration's effort to ensure that Iran does not have nuclear weapons.

I think it is pretty understood that the administration has tied its future, so many areas, to its relationship with Russia.

I think most neutral observers would state that all we have really done, since they are not dismantling as you know, both their President and Foreign Minister has made that real clear--they are not dismantling--so, in essence, what you…

I think that is an important message to send to the international business community and to the investors and consumers in Iran.

At the end of the day, Iran can no longer be a nuclear-weapons-threshold state.

I have been disappointed in the rhetoric from the administration about Congress' involvement.

The absence of a consistent policy weakens our nuclear nonproliferation efforts, and sends a mixed message to those nations we seek to prevent from gaining or enhancing such capability.

I am concerned about the administration's current policy or, rather, lack of consistent policy toward the negotiation of civil nuclear cooperation agreements.
