Im proud to have served at the state department, and i was honored to work for secretary clinton and alongside distinguished diplomats and Foreign Service officers. I appreciated the time of both the members and Committee Staff today and i answered all their questions to the best of my ability. And with that, ill be making no further comments. Thank you. Good to see you. We have a situation where we have had mr. Mccarthy, congressman mccarthy, make it clear what this is all about. We then, of course, have the handpicked member of the republican staff to affirm what mr. Mccarthy had already stated. We then have congressman hannah to reaffirm all of it. But even if we wanted to put words to the side, the question becomes weve been asked to not listen to the words of mccarthy, not listen to the words of hannah but look at the actions of the committee. And this morning, again, we have a situation where it is clear that when we look at the actions, calling ms. Abedin in, letting the press k
Duty to determine whether it will keep us safe. Sadly this deal is far worse than anything i could have it is our his negotiators broke every one of their promises. Does this deal dismantle Irans Nuclear program or shut off their path to a nuclear his negotiators broke every one of their promises. Does this deal dismantle Irans Nuclear program or shut off their path to a Nuclear Program as they promised it would . No. Instead, it allows iran to keep thousands of nouk clear centrifuges spinning as they are today. And within 10 years in the best case it allows iran to achieve a nuclear status. Was this agreement built on verification . No. Why . Ecause the president and it appears the side deal with trust iran to selfinspect a key site where the regime conducted tests on nuclear it detonators. Havent seen that actual side deal and we dont know if there are any other secret components. Does this agreement allow inspectors to have anywhere, anytime, 24 7 oongsess as they promised it would
In Disaster Relief for those members of our fishing community, so many of whom have had their whole livelihoods taken away from them. And this Disaster Relief money is going to help them during these difficult times, help them to recover, to rebuild what i believe is one of the most critical economic sack ters still in new england. Its one of the oldest, certainly. Im also pleased that this bill reverses some of the reckless cuts from sequestration and instead it makes important investments in the friewrt of this country, in our education, infrastructure, in science and innovation, and yet it also makes strategic cuts. For example, one of my favorites in the bill is that it prohibits taxpayerfunded expenditures on Oil Paintings for public officials. This is an idea that senator coburn and i have been work on over the last year and i think its exactly the kind of Government Spending that we need to get rid of. It seppedz sends a message, a. Even though its not a lot of money, its symbol
Advent of this Health Care Law and would thus strain their budgets. A substitute teacher named amy from chesserfield county, virginia, was asked by the Richmond Times dispatch about the burdens of this rule under obamacare. And he she said, quote, the people and she said, quote, the people that its going to affect are the people that need or want to work ever single day, end quote. So why is the government punishing those who are looking to earn an honest wage . This administration believes that they can hide the reality of the wage cuts with an increase in the minimum wage but a proposal that the but that proposal which the nonpartisan experts say will result in 500,000 lost jobs is not the answer. The answer is, restore the 40hour workweek and let people work. We have known for a long time that the president s Health Care Law was broken. But now its beginning to break the backs of American Workers. Our constituents dont deserve this broken law or more broken promises. They deserve a
I thank mr. Morell for volunteering to testify once again. A terrorist attack against u. S. Facilities is a serious event and this committee has been conducting a thorough and detailed investigation for the last 19 months to understand exactly what happened. We have held over 17 member events reviewed thousands of documents mostly classified interviewed the men on the ground that night. I want to focus on how this Committee Received inaccurate talking points and how the administration used those talking points to perpetrate a false narrative about the attacks. After the attacks this committee immediately sought the truth. We received a closed briefing with nctc folks and then petraeus on september 1 and september 13 respectively. After the director then petraeus briefing some members of this committee sought guidance about what could be said publicly in an unclassified forum. We knew that our constituents the American People certainly needed to know the truth about the attacks. Unfortu
