We keep telling them that you cannot keep delaying that date indefinitely because your people will not accept it over time.

I do not think we can give the union election commission a passing grade... without credible investigations.

We need to ensure that no irreversible decisions are made by now the lame-duck Parliament.

I think that these election results are a clear repudiation of the military's rule in Burma for the past 60 years.

This hearing will come to order. We are doing something entirely unique in the Senate, and that is actually starting on time and maybe even a little early.

The State Department is obviously aware of this. Have you seen any actions that they have taken so far? Or do they need a little push on this?

You cannot have a constitution written that is effective at that point, can you?

Success in Indonesia, hopefully the beginning of success in Burma, that is what we need to be thinking about.

They are going to need a lot of assistance and help from friends like the United States of America to help them.

I would like to see us have very clear demands with the lame-duck government over the next 4 months that they immediately release all political prisoners, including those awaiting trial and have yet to be sentenced.

I think we do have to include the human rights conditions and the acts in North Korea as part of these discussions.

But to do so, we have to be prepared for the aftermath.

In my conversations last month in both Japan and South Korea, talking to the foreign ministry in Japan and to President Park in Seoul, talking about the importance of a strong trilateral relationship...

We do not want to subcontract our North Korea policy to China.

We have not found the formula that deters the North Koreans from expanding their weapons programs.
