"Helen, you have my word that I will continue to advocate for Michael's rapid return to the United States and to reunification with your family."

"I join with my colleagues in supporting Chris Smith, Representative Smith's Vietnam Human Rights Act which invokes sanctions per the Magnitsky Act."

"It is outrageous that Americans who have a Vietnamese background are now becoming frightened to go back to their country of their ancestors."

"I want a better relationship with Vietnam, but stories like the one that Helen is going to share with you all today are a real impediment to moving that relationship forward."
