I'm deeply grateful to John for conceding the gavel to me here to allow me to chair this hearing.
Sovereignty is a critically important issue in Latin America.
I frankly don't see the sovereignty issue as playing a role as an impediment as much as the sheer ability of the cartels...
I thank all of you. You've been terrific, and again I thank you.
