Sam Brownback: “I think this is one of the most important issues for us to keep our eye on at this point in time.”

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.

We have to get more focus on this by a broader cross-section, or we will not be effective in this.

We need to put into place policies that will hopefully end that genocide.

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.
