Mark Kirk: “I am here to recommend and to thank you and President Obama for bringing forward Jack Blakey.”

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 look at the Adam Szubin problem not just in the context of are we serious about terrorism...

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.

I look forward to better understanding how we can move forward in a very nonpartisan way.
