Surely, however, we have to acknowledge that would be the first bipartisan effort.

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 167, noes 254, not voting 10, as follows: [Roll No. 295] AYES--167…

Politicians sometimes, like you, enjoy creative ambiguity. This is not one of those times. We need clarity.

I mean, because leaving it the way it is right now still allows the inference to be drawn that there is cheating going on.

So maybe we could spend our time more creatively here in Congress talking about trying to find a solution to your problem rather than trying to finger blame in a tangential way that really begs the question.

What impact does that have on the region?

I demand a separate vote on Gingrey amendment No. 29. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is a separate vote demanded on any other amendment reported from the Committee of the Whole? If not, the Chair will put them en gros. The amendments were agreed…

How are we helping allies like Turkey look toward alternative sourcing for political stability purposes?

Let's not distort facts here. Let's not try to manufacture a narrative that, in fact, is misleading if not false.

But given that long list my friend from Texas just ticked off, isn't that a loophole?

I hope you will put to bed the issue of our Iranian sanctions.

How does the growing independence... shift affect your job?

I want to thank Chairman Wolf and Ranking Member Fattah and their staffs for working with me and my staff and with other Members on a bipartisan basis to support this and similar amendments. Mr. Chairman, this amendment would increase…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 35, line 21, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $2,200,000)''. Page 35, line 24, after the dollar amount…

And I assure you there are many of us up here who will be behind you and side by side in trying to make that happen.

It just strikes me as something not worthy of the Congress, when we actually continue to fall into a false narrative, to try to make partisan political points when we are trying to do foreign policy.

It may play well on certain networks with certain pundits, but it is not worthy of a great country and it is not worthy of this Congress.

Why can't we come together to try to support a cohesive policy to effectuate the goal, which is to lessen and dismantle Boko Haram and to release safely these young women to their families?

I also continue to be concerned about Hun Sen's brutal crackdown on protests and rampant land grabbing.

It is very heartening to have an administration to finally crack down and show some seriousness of intent.

We very much want a positive and constructive relationship with China.

I think it can do real damage in the current climate up here.

I am also troubled by the political impasse in Cambodia and the fact we are seeing very little return for the amount of aid provided there.

I applaud the administration for doing it and I hope we do more of it.

I think Dr. Insel's point is let a thousand flowers bloom. In this case, let 1,200 flowers bloom.
