I think it is critically important, as the Secretary has done in Education, bring in all the relevant agencies in this area.

I urge this committee... to help with this problem around the world.

We have our own problem in this country.

We want to work with you. We want to get ideas from you.

We have a major problem in this world.

We know those countries that are most violent against their women and children, who are most impoverished are the least stable, present the greatest national security risk.

If we stabilize the situation, if we are able to provide for women and children in every corner of the world, we will have a much more stable, much more gracious, and I think, a much better world.

They expect leadership. And a lot of us who confront this problem at home, confront the discussion at home as we move into a period of isolationism, a lot of us get asked why should we care.

This is so incredibly frustrating, as I sit here and listen.

Maybe someday, we will get it done.

At what point do we walk upstream and really change outcomes?

If we keep doing what we have always done and maybe tweak it around the edges, we are going to always get this result.
