I want to thank all the nominees for being here with us today.

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

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

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

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.

The extent to which the Government of Burma follows through on its commitments to respect the results of the election, peacefully transfer power, and protect the human rights of members of all its diverse populations...

Thank you. The committee is adjourned.

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

President Maithripala Sirisena is positioned to lead his country in a new direction that respects religious diversity and freedom.

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

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

If confirmed, I will closely monitor political developments and continue actively to urge the military government to remove restrictions on civil liberties and return Thailand to democratic governance as soon as possible.
