We are going to be able to do a lot more if we are coordinating with other nations.

Continuing to be supportive of our folks that are out there under difficult circumstances.

We have to look at not only the Rohingya but some 600 villages where people are not going to be allowed to participate in the election.

It is unfortunate the Gulf states have not agreed to take one Syrian refugee.

Despite 14 months of airstrikes, the group has largely maintained its core safe haven while expanding its global footprint.

This pace of terror plotting is unprecedented--unrivaled even by al-Qaeda at its peak.

I predict this year could exceed the last to become the most violent year on record for global terrorism.

The Honorable Michael T. McCaul, a Representative in Congress From the State of Texas, and Chairman, Committee on Homeland Security:

As the Committee continues to work to fulfill its oversight responsibilities and strengthen the Department, we will lead further efforts to reorganize NPPD.

We took the first step in this effort with the passage of H.R. 1731, which would rename NPPD as Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection and codify a Deputy Under Secretary for Cybersecurity and a Deputy Under Secretary for…

We cannot succeed in Iraq if ISIS is allowed to exist in Syria.

I have expressed to the President my strong support for an expedited renewal of the Israeli defense agreement for a new 10-year period.

It is absolutely critical that, as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action is implemented, Congress and the administration are relentless and vigilant in monitoring its implementation.

The U.S. cannot continue to simply ignore China's presence in this hemisphere.

It is clear our current policy when it comes to agricultural export to Cuba is not working.

If our farmers want take that risk, then maybe we should let them take that risk.

Fundamentally, we can agree that the Cuban Government does not afford Cuban people the political and economic freedom that they deserve.

I look forward to hearing from our witnesses about how we can effectively implement already existing U.S. policy that allows agricultural exports to Cuba.

It is our obligation, I think, and our duty, it is the responsibility of the Federal Government to do so.
