the Afghan Government was, in fact, excluded from the negotiating table in Doha by the Trump administration.

I guess I would say to my friend from South Carolina, if I were the Member of Congress who committed one of the most grievous acts in the state of the Union Address... I might take more care about enumerating other alleged lies in a…

I frankly think this is a criminal conspiracy. I believe that the contemporaneous notes that were released today by deputy attorney general at the time, Donahue, clearly revealed a lot of Donald Trump`s own mouth, and it`s -- and the…

I don`t see this as a great victory. I see it as a single failure of the system.

When we pass a law, we expect it to be complied with.

There is a difference between some latitude and a desire to circumvent the law.

Cybersecurity is not a separate topic compartmentalized from the IT system in place.

I thank the gentlewoman from District of Columbia, and I thank Mr. Keller, the Republican manager, for his kind words and his support. Current law requires Federal agencies to develop a performance plan every year that defines the agency's…

I thank my dear friend, Congresswoman Dingell, for her support, and the distinguished ranking member, the Republican manager, for his support. In a troubled time, when we seem like we can't get together, here is an opportunity to come…

I thank my good friend and neighbor, the Congresswoman from the District of Columbia for her work, and I also thank the Republican manager for his kind remarks about a grieving family in my district. Last year, I brought a similar version…

After 20 years, the United States is winding down its involvement in a long, protracted war in Afghanistan, but we have an obligation to the men and women who have served with Allied forces who put themselves at risk, especially the…

I was kind of shocked by the gentleman from Georgia and his long statement dismissing, among other things, the whole concept of environmental justice.

I would say that Nikki Haley, Mick Mulvaney, and Congressman Norman, who is here today, supported my environmental justice bill in South Carolina because they saw the economic impact, not the rhetoric of blue and red states.

This measure is nearly identical to a bipartisan provision in the Senate crafted by Republican Senator Grassley from Iowa. In addition to these provisions, the bill includes several other important measures to bolster the independence of…

I think there are some incredibly positive lessons to be learned where we can change our government to be people-centered, iterative, and proactive.

Improper payments is something that has long had my attention, and our subcommittee has a long history of trying to address it.

I thank my dear friend, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee; and my good friend, the ranking member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, for their generous remarks, for their leadership, and for bringing yet again a bipartisan bill to…

I think we have got to focus on both, not just the 2 percent, although I favor, of course, the 2 percent.

Thank you so much, Mr. Chairman, and again, thank you and the ranking member for this first ever joint hearing.

The Federal work force is aging.

I add my voice to hers how saddened I am at the diminution of this critical issue by the ranking member and all too many of his colleagues on the other side of the aisle.

the president, President Trump, actually advised people to consider the ingestion of Clorox and other disinfectant.

I was proud to hold the first hearing on this issue on your behalf, Madam Chairwoman, and proud to serve as an ally with you in the effort to renew our commitment to helping families meet the increasing demands of parenthood and family…

This is the first time, I think, ever we have had a joint hearing jointly sponsored by the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the European Subcommittee, and the NATO Parliamentary Assembly delegation.
