Mark Kirk: “If we are giving totally incompetent people big bonuses like that, how can we ever take care of our veterans.”

I am disappointed that we do not have a representative from the Administration here today.

I am dismayed that... not once did the Administration ever share that this was a pending item and/or that it was in the midst of a potential negotiation.

I want to take an opportunity to reiterate my concern for Robert Levinson, an American citizen who mysteriously disappeared in Iran almost 10 years ago.

I would urge the State Department... to continue to press the Government of Iran to fully cooperate in our efforts to find Robert and bring him home.
