Chris Murphy

I do not have a question. Just a follow-up, I think, on your very good first question, which is, you know, we do increasingly hear these reports of, you know, if not radicalization, increasing influence of Wahhabism and conservative Islam…

I think it is a real opportunity to have someone with your backgrounds in Pristina.

EU is a very attractive goal for the country. I think the decision to pursue accession is a brave one.

From what I have read on the issue I believe that the U.S. should be excited about this new partnership, the new government.

I believe our embassy, and with the strong support of the interagency back here in Washington, is actively working on just this very problem set, which is to provide the Moldovan people with accurate information.

We think it is critical that both countries be able to discuss new ideas.

Our position has not changed. The position of the administration is that we support the EU-facilitated dialog between Pristina and Belgrade.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Thank you again all of you for being here.

This is a region that both the Chairman and I care a lot about, a place where we have been.

What does it say about our seriousness about solving the problems inside Syria and around Syria when the United States now effectively refuses to take Syrian refugees into our country?

Do you think it is sufficient to rely on a Saudi investigation and take their findings at face value?

How important is it that the United States do our own investigation?

Thank you for your willingness to serve. I look forward to supporting your nomination as it moves forward.

I look forward to working with you on this.

The Arms Control Act requires us to affirm that the end use of the equipment that we are provided is as advertised and as requested.

Thank you both--to both of you, for your willingness to serve.

I accept your answer, that you are going to respect U.S. policy with respect to LGBTQ rights, though I remain concerned about some of your comments in the past.

I am as welcoming as anyone, because what I have seen is that these folks, they have grit, they have the ability to overcome some really tough situations.

It is official American policy to encourage Kenya to continue to shelter Somali and South Sudanese refugees.

We want to make sure that, when we send diplomats abroad, they drop their political views.

I think it is--we should be looking at the most qualified candidates, regardless of party.

And I believe that it is incumbent upon the United States and our representatives around the world to insist on a level playing field for trade and engagement.

I believe that private-sector-led growth for Zimbabwe is important, but I also think it is important that the people and Government of Zimbabwe receive fair and equitable treatment for their resources.

The President has carried out a pretty intentional and consistent policy of trying to undermine our alliance with Europe.

He cheers countries that try to leave Europe.
