Sam Brownback: “I really appreciated the subcommittee doing that, a number of steps going on.”

The beauty of what this job has been I think under the prior administration and this one is that there are contentious issues that people do not agree upon.

Promotion of international religious freedom is in our national interest, and it directly supports national security priorities including the defeat of ISIS and other violent extremist groups.

I think we should accept people that are fleeing religious persecution.

I would continue the policies that have been done in the prior administration in working on these international issues.
