This is a courageous decision by the gentleman. As a member of the committee and as a supporter of Peotone, the gentleman has engendered a lot of goodwill and friendship when we complete the final legislation. My hope is that it will strongly reflect the full agreement, including the gentleman's provision on Peotone.

I am disappointed that we do not have a representative from the Administration here today.
I am always concerned about what our policy is in the world as it relates to how we deal with achieving the release of hostages.
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 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.
