It's an unbelievable story, and it deserves much more attention.

to strip an American citizen, or claim to strip an American citizen, of her Fifth Amendment right, a right that was enshrined as sacred by the founders.

It's clear that a non-nuclear and compliant North Korea is an unreachable goal if the administration maintains its current policy approach.

I found your testimony right on, and very helpful in terms of not just providing a critique of U.S. policy, but giving us a roadmap for how we might become much more efficacious.

Returning North Korean refugees who get into China back to the North Korean regime is virtually a death sentence, and certainly a terrible blemish on the Chinese record.

Are you aware of the fact that the documents filed by the company that would own the Keystone Pipeline, the Canadian company, actually admit explicitly that if the pipeline were to be built, the price of oil and other related products in…

I believe that companies should be required to disclose what they pump into the ground just as they must tell us what they put in our food.

I think that ought to be a joint venture that we work on together.

It is imperative that the United States put teeth into the sanctions it imposes in the North.

So, I think what the U.S. needs to do is point out to China that its refusal or its resistance to putting pressure on North Korea is bringing about the very crisis it doesn't want.

Well, the people of Crimea just like the people of Kosovo have their right of self-determination or should have.

We cannot embrace diplomatic reconciliation with the Government of Burma while human rights conditions in that country have deteriorated.

I find it interesting that our friend from Florida has made a passionate case for the justification of the power grab in the Crimea because of Russian heritage.

To cite Russian speakers in Crimea as a rationale for one of the most audacious power grabs in the 21st century, in Europe no less, forgets history.

I would like to commend my good friend, Congressman Engel, who worked very closely with me when we backed the Kosovars' right to self-determination and supported the bombing of Serbia in order to protect those people's right of…

I have an amendment at the desk, Amendment 98.

For the United States and its allies to allow this naked aggression to go unaddressed would be truly an abrogation of our moral responsibility.

This is a complementary amendment to a provision in the Senate bill requiring an annual report on security developments in the Russian Federation and the effects they might have on Ukranian sovereignty.

I think that clouded the issue. But the hypocrisy on our side of suggesting or trying to suggest this is out and out aggression for the people of Crimea to have their will to be part of Russia is a little bit overwhelming.

The United States must prioritize the protection of human rights in its engagement with Burma.

I urge my colleagues to support this resolution.

I strongly support the legislation in front of us, Mr. Chairman, and I respectfully but forcefully disagree with virtually everything my friend from California has just said.

What do the people of Crimea want? I don't think anybody in here will disagree with the fact that it is clear the people of Crimea would rather be part of Russia than be part of a pro-European or European-directed Ukraine.

I am astounded at the apology I have just heard from my friend from California.

Yes, Putin should not have sent in those troops but this was and, again, he should not have had the right--he shouldn't have had the wording they had on their referendum in Crimea.
