Kit Bond: “That will be your----”

I am humbled by the honorable mission President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Secretary Blinken have asked me to take on as Ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago.

I pledge to dedicate my skills and energy to strengthen our diplomatic and economic ties to Trinidad and Tobago to advance U.S. interests in the world and to promote American democratic values.

I regret to say that this bill should be called the Big Oil Gulf Monopoly Bill, because that is what it is.

If confirmed as the next Inspector General, you'll have the weighty responsibility of ensuring the Director and Congressional Intelligence Committees are fully informed of any violations of the law or deficiencies in CIA programs.
