The only way to fully ease the suffering of the Syrian and Iraqi people is to defeat ISIS and bring an end to the civil war in Syria.

I would just note for the record, had FITARA been in law at the time, it would have required a cost-risk analysis to substantiate whether the current approach is, in fact, less expensive and faster to implement.

I thank my good friend from New York and, of course, the distinguished chairman of the committee. I rise in support of H. Res. 348. The people of Ukraine have the right to hold free and fair elections within the sovereign territory of…

I hardly think the GPO represents an existential threat to the industry.

I just want to say, Mr. Chairman, rarely in the history of Congress is there a hearing that exhaustively, comprehensively addresses one discrete issue.

I thank my good friend from New York (Mr. Engel) for his leadership on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. This bill prohibits any waivers, reductions, or other relief from U.S. sanctions on Iran until Iran pays all court-ordered damage…
