Jim McGovern actually said...

"The succession or reincarnation of Tibetan Buddhist leaders... should be decided solely by the Tibetan Buddhist community."

"I just say to the government of China, who always gets annoyed when we do these hearings--you know what? You have a Tibet problem. Deal with it."

"I think it is fair to say that we are reorienting our policy in a way that is more in tune with what the Tibetan community wants."

"Tibet's true representatives are His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government-in-exile, as recognized by the Tibetan people."
