I believe that this issue of security at last-point-of-departure airports is of critical importance to our homeland security.

Until it stops funding terror, until it stops the illicit weapons program, it should be treated like the global menace it is.

I hope that my majority colleagues will realize that the use of 404(c) process even in Bristol Bay, Alaska, is not a political issue.

We found no evidence of bias in how EPA conducted the assessment.

The Clean Water Act gives EPA the authority to initiate 404(c) action before a permit is applied for.

Geopolitically, what happens in the region that we are so concerned about if we don't do TPP?

TPP is actually a counter to China and hopefully will get China to then adhere to global standards and rules.

Like many of my colleagues, I am deeply disappointed we have not been able to find a solution to his imprisonment.

Despite giving Pakistan enormous amounts of counterterror assistance over the years, over $25 billion since 9/11, terrorist organizations continue to operate with impunity in Pakistan.

Many Members of Congress, including me, seriously question the judgment and timing of such a sale.

I still have serious concerns about the administration's strategy for the region, about the effectiveness and efficiency of our aid programs.

It makes little sense to continue giving Pakistan billions of dollars if it is going to continue to work against our interests.

I want to be clear that if any of South Sudan's leaders continue to work against implementation of the agreement, we are prepared to employ any measure to include sanctions and an arms embargo.

We were appalled by the violence at the U.N. Protection of Civilians site in Malakal in February.

We fully support the peace agreement's provision for the Hybrid Court for South Sudan to be established by the African Union.

It is imperative that men under arms be able to transition to peaceful and productive citizens.

We want to see a Transitional Government in which corruption is no longer the scourge that it has been in the past, and we will not neglect the possibility of trying to recover stolen money.

If we as the one free beacon of liberty and hope can't stand to protect and secure rule of law, then I don't know what we are here for.

TPP, of course we believe, should be ratified by the U.S. Congress not only because of the issue of U.S. credibility but because it is such an important strategic opportunity.

We suffer and I would add we will spend a hundredfold in seeking to claw back the space in which we can exercise our rights if we let it slip through our fingers.

It is not about the rocks; it is about the rules.

The Obama administration needs to do more to counter Hezbollah and Iran in Syria, which means delivering a comprehensive strategy to defeat ISIS and the Assad-Hezbollah-Iran nexus.

As I have said in the past, NIST may be the most important federal agency that most people have never heard of.

I was happy to see the proposed increase in the fiscal year 2017 budget request for those programs, and I hope that Congress will fully support the request.

Now, we have seen concrete evidence in Harrisburg. Where else is this happening? How many more Asher Potts are there Nation-wide?
