Mark Kirk: “Your mission should be to make it as easy as possible to comply with Federal law.”

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

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.

This is one of the gravest threats facing our national security and the security of our allies.
