Gerry Connolly

Mr. Hensarling, my chairman and my friend, has absolutely said he wants to close down Ex-Im.

I have never seen any evidence of that. I think we are holding back because we are not entirely sure which side to support and there isn't a great secular middle that is out there fighting the Assad regime.

I think we need to work to enhance both Taiwan's defense and to support Taiwan in the path it has chosen as a democracy.

I look forward to working with you on language to focus on that as well.

I am pleased to be the Democratic lead sponsor on this piece of legislation.

And this hurts not only the people of Taiwan, but people all over the world that are potentially the victims of criminals...

Words we say here are magnified in the Taiwan Straits.

Amendment to the amendment in the nature of a substitute to H. Res. 235 offered by: The Honorable Gerald E. Connolly, a Representative in Congress from the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Honorable Karen Bass, a Representative in Congress…

We also need to strengthen our Nation's cyber workforce, devise effective data breach notification policies, and bring about a wholesale cultural revolution so that society fully understands the critical importance of good cyber hygiene…

I would hope that you would show the courage that you are personally known for and, on April 24, use the word 'genocide' to describe what happened in Anatolia 100 years ago.

I want to thank your staffs as well for cooperating with us on inclusion of our amendment on H. Res. 50, reiterating the unqualified U.S. support for Ukrainian sovereignty in all respects.

We have 250 people with the title CIO, and we didn't, by fiat, say thou shalt only have one.

We would like to work with you, and with your office as well, Ms. Seymour, in particular, about implementation.

FITARA, although here at the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, we prefer to call it Issa-Connolly.

I would be glad to work with you, because while some of this is by executive order, that does not necessarily survive a particular president.

The best cybersecurity policies in the world won't amount to a hill of beans if an organization's culture does not translate good policy into better practice.

The number one cybersecurity threat or vulnerability facing any company is the behavior of its own employees.

Obviously, cybersecurity is a sophisticated and evolving national challenge.

I have grave reservations about whether we can hold P5+1 together.

I think in an ideal world I would love to work out all those issues. But right now the big issue on the table is we don't want a nuclear Iran and we got to start somewhere.

To assert that it is violation of the Constitution is in fact on its face false

So it is hardly unprecedented.

Congress needs to stand up for itself.

This is a treaty, in my opinion.

We cannot approve the agreement and leave it to a future President and a future Congress to decide.
