I pledge to you to continue that bipartisan effort on it.

I pledge to use my energies and the range of diplomatic tools to strengthen international religious freedom issues.

This is a fundamental right that you have, to do with your own soul what you choose.

I fully understand the important role of the Commission in informing United States decision makers.

I was honored to sponsor the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998.

Since we knew that there were 40 Tiananmen Square and other convicts laboring in that place we got an import ban on it.

Although the administration made the right determination, a long time coming but they did, the question arises now, now what?

The House passed H. Con. Res. 75, authored by my good friend and colleague, Jeff Fortenberry.

To have a special envoy, one stop. Also, for counseling of the girls, to say we are concerned about them.

There needs to be in-depth training of the military and police, but there is an awareness of it but not the compliance.

I will be really brief. One, the IDPs are not getting assistance, and the camps are some of the worst camps that I have seen.

Thank you, Mr. Smith and Ms. Bass, for this hearing and to really kind of shine the light on it.

If Nigeria unravels, or if part of it unravels, it is an existential threat to Europe.

This hearing will light the spark that is needed to elevate this crisis to the place that it deserves.

I believe that the United States and other Western nations have a vested interest in confronting one of the worst crises of the current day.

It is just another disgraceful chapter in the administration's shameful response to the spread of terrorism throughout the world.

Frank was right at the forefront of that in Romania and so many other countries.

I hope that this country... will renew its moral conviction, and even its political will, to combat Boko Haram.

Chinese authorities are frightened by the simple proposition that individuals have the right to live out their beliefs openly and peacefully.

China continues to rank up there with Iran, Vietnam, and Saudi Arabia in terms of the sheer misery it inflicts on members of its diverse religious communities.

Because religious freedom conditions are deteriorating globally, I introduced HR 1150, the Frank Wolf International Religious Freedom Act.

The purpose the Commission, according to the bill, was to provide policy recommendations to Congress and the Agriculture Secretary on how to more effectively use existing Agriculture Department programs and funds to combat domestic hunger.

Now, such changes will not work miracles. They will not work overnight. But without steps like this, and without the commitment of the President, the Secretary of State, the Congress, and the Ambassador-at-Large, the remaining Christians…

Are you kidding? An American? I mean, we are supposed to be the oasis.

Weakness is never good. And we are weak. We are perceived as weak.
