It is imperative for the Committee, in its oversight responsibilities, get to the bottom of exactly how much cash has been transferred.

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.

When Rouhani and his folks are sitting there with $1.7 billion in their jeans, it can be made very much worth their while.

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.
