I think that is a necessary credible deterrent. I think we have certain responsibilities here that need to be fulfilled.

This hearing will come to order. The title of this hearing is 'Narcoterrorism and the Long Reach of U.S. Law Enforcement,' and today we continue our look at that subject.

We need to press again and again, as I have said for 15 years, to take the maximum possible actions to sanction Tehran for its sponsorship of terrorism.

In the administration's reluctance to engage and follow through on those sales, I think that is a necessary credible deterrent.

I rise before you today to honor Dr. Milton A. Gordon for his distinguished career. Dr. Gordon has served for over two decades as president of California State University, Fullerton. I first met Milt Gordon more than 20 years ago when he…
