"I just need to remind you when we were negotiating, when President Obama decided to normalize relationships with Cuba without Congress' consent..."

"I have joined my friend, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, and my friend, Albio Sires, in being critical of the administration's rather abrupt change in policy and getting very little in return for it."

"This is an abhorrent practice. It cannot be tolerated in civilized society and it is perfectly proper for this committee to call it out."

"I wish we weren't doing this now because it is frankly designed to embarrass President Obama."
