I am concerned...we do not really know what was discussed in that meeting.

I do have more confidence in General Votel's statement. That is why I am raising this question because it seems to me that our response to the Russian Ministry of Defense ought to be very strong to say they have nothing to say about what…

Obviously, we have a lot more work to do in terms of getting him back to the United States and also pressing the Turkish Government to release the other Americans that they are holding.

It would be, I believe, a real terrible reversal of policy for us to leave those folks after what we have done and to turn them over to the Russians or to Assad's forces.

We need to know the scope of their nuclear weapons program.

I was very glad when you announced that you would lift the freeze on hiring and promotions at the State Department.

I believe the fourth tenet of the agreement that was signed in Singapore had to do with returning the remains of Americans.

This is as manifest a case of unjust detention as we have seen.

I think it is, again, part of trying to send a clear message to Turkey about what our views are.

I would love to have you review the record and share with this committee any occasions in which the President has raised those concerns publicly.

We have not heard this President even acknowledge that Russia is meddling in, and is continuing to meddle in, American elections.

I think that is an important message for Turkey to hear.
