There is no way the Senate should confirm anyone that Barack Obama tries to appoint in his last year in office to a lifetime appointment.

The president can appoint whoever he wants but Mitch McConnell already made it clear, we're not moving forward on any nominees in the Senate until after the election and I agree with that.

Burkina Faso understands it must improve its counterterrorism capabilities in order to protect its people and attract and keep foreign investment.

If confirmed, I would continue working with the government on this issue, focusing on concerns including victim protection measures.

I cannot imagine a more important relationship than the one that we have with the African continent.

Certainly one area would be to shed a little bit more light on this and to make sure that the Indonesian people are aware of issues like this going on.

In fact, I know it is not.

If confirmed, I will focus on promoting inclusive growth, citizen security, and good governance in a manner that benefits all citizens.

To help Haiti achieve results that strengthen democratic institutions, it is my understanding that USAID focuses on key areas of capacity building for the Government of Haiti.

If confirmed, I would strive to receive greater assurance that commercial disputes involving U.S. businesses will be resolved in a fair manner, consistent with due process.

The general state of affairs in Mexico, obviously for years some have viewed Mexico as a source of cheaper labor...

Are they prepared, for example, to play a greater role in what is happening with human rights violations and elections that are upcoming in Venezuela?

I think the challenge for me, if I am confirmed, sir, will be to continue to find those areas where we can cooperate together.

Their government is less than cooperative on a host of issues.

On the one hand, they do allow U.S. investment of U.S. firms and companies.

As we look at the Western Hemisphere, there are two competing camps that seem to have emerged, at least in my view.

I think that the notion that they have lost control of their territory, while clearly they are under siege in some places...

Trafficking for domestic servitude is one of the issues that receives a tremendous amount of attention.

But it also, sir, a question of political will.

Haiti has been granted a waiver from being placed on a Tier 3 because it had a written plan, which would make significant steps toward combating trafficking.

So what is our current U.S. policy with regards to this dispute between Venezuela and Guyana?
