Mark Kirk: “I think that would reassure us all----make sure that the Chinese do not have it before you do.”

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

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