Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

What does it say about them when they are willing to partner with organizations that have the record that FIFA has?

There needs to be additional action, and it should involve not only members of the public and public officials but also--let me emphasize--the private corporations that sponsor these events.

Would you agree in retrospect that U.S. Soccer acted inadequately to investigate or prevent or stop the ongoing, blatant criminal wrongdoing at FIFA?

There had to be either willful ignorance or blatant incompetence on the part of many of the members of this organization.

These corrupt practices over many years have deprived American national teams... of the full value and integrity of the game.

Corruption is not a game. It is deadly serious. It is criminal and it betrays the trust of fans.

Clearly, we can no longer indulge the idea of FIFA, a multi-billion dollar, nonprofit global enterprise being run behind closed doors.

Do you not think he has an obligation to answer the questions that we have been directing to you?

My time has long expired, and I am hopeful that we may have another round of questions.

And when did that lack of comfort level begin?

I want to know what reforms the U.S. Soccer Federation is planning to introduce to instill greater transparency and accountability in the governance of soccer in America.

America has to, with its moral values, join with other countries with similar moral values and just say you stay there in Zurich. We are out of here.

You do not go to John Gotti and say, Mr. Gotti, there is really too much heroin on the streets of New York. Could you cut back on it a bit?

I am suggesting that you take action, that U.S. Soccer take action to conduct the inquiry.

The culture of corruption must be addressed.

I was astonished and troubled to learn that men's teams that exited in the very first round of the competition in the World Cup were paid $8 million, an amount 400 percent greater than what the women world champions were awarded.

Will U.S. Soccer withdraw from the structure that supports FIFA if it fails to take meaningful reforms?

I understand those two options.

The corruption uncovered in world soccer is a disservice to the game.

So there was evidence that caused you to remove yourself from discussions or meetings?

I want to make clear, Mr. Flynn, that my comments are directed against the collective 'you,' not you personally.

I thank my colleague Senator Daines for his extraordinarily valuable work on this bipartisan bill, which will help protect students, help safeguard the privacy of young people, which would be considered separately from the measure now…

I want to thank all of my colleagues for their hard work that has brought us to this point on the bipartisan Every Child Achieves Act. My friend and colleague from Tennessee, Chairman Alexander, and my great colleague, Ranking Member…
