We cannot stand on the sidelines while faceless enemies penetrate our networks.

Our country is under constant attack from adversaries seeking access to our critical infrastructure and personal data.

The U.S. Government should continue to facilitate and encourage information sharing and cooperation between and among Government entities and the private sector.

Congress needs to continue to develop strong, smart policies and laws designed to improve cybersecurity.

I urge my colleagues here on the Foreign Affairs Committee to support it.

It is important legislation. It is bipartisan. The Global Development Lab will harness the U.S. entrepreneurial spirit to create cost effective, sustainable solutions to global poverty.

The Homeland Security Committee's Bipartisan Task Force on Combating Terrorist and Foreign Fighter Travel highlighted the lack of any comprehensive global database of foreign fighter identities.

I want to thank Ranking Member Eliot Engel and all of our committee members for their contributions.

I want to thank you for collaborating with my Committee on Homeland Security on H.R. 4403.

I want to thank Representative Lieu for introducing this resolution that has strong bipartisan support.

We cannot allow foreign fighters to crisscross the globe undetected.

I have long been an advocate for Taiwan's inclusion into the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

A stable and prosperous Taiwan is, of course, in the best interests of the United States.

I want to again congratulate the people of Taiwan for their free and fair elections last month.

The American people stand by the Taiwanese people in their time of need and we are ready to assist in any way we can.

They are a critical NATO ally of ours and so we will continue to work closely with them.

Turkey is also caring for 2.1 million refugees from Syria, spending almost $8 billion, something people forget about.

Turkey has also, as I mentioned, really worked to seal its border, that 98 kilometer strip of border.

All of them should have humanitarian access. That is a principle of international law.

The failure to provide humanitarian assistance to besieged communities in Syria is not only an international law obligation; it is now anchored by a brand-new U.N. Security Council resolution.

I believe the administration is acting lawlessly, in this regard, because Congress said a certain thing.

If the ESTA program is better than the VISA process, why did we even pass the bill in the first place?

I think that, in my view, the administration didn't like the response they were getting from the Congress, so they just said go ahead and pass it.

I believe this decision could have serious consequences for our security and--perhaps more importantly--far-reaching consequences for our democracy.

But the administration's false reading of the law has Congress and the American people wondering, 'How much further will we bend backwards for Iran?'
