Mr. President, over the recess we marked a sad anniversary: 2,000 days since retired FBI agent Bob Levinson went missing in Iran. That is 2,000 days Christine Levinson has been without her husband and 2,000 days their children have missed his laugh. There has been an empty seat at the family table for far too long. Last year we received proof that Bob was alive, most likely somewhere in Southwest Asia. It is time for him to come home. Mr. President, our Government must continue doing all it can to win his safe return, and I join Bob's family in calling on those who are holding Bob to set him free. ____________________
