Do we have any countries who have not been willing to give up terrorists, or people who we would determine to be terrorists and who they have refused to extradite to the United States?

I think that most of my colleagues on the committee, both Republican and Democrat, are eager to reverse this trend and help enhance U.S. leadership in the world.

I think it would have a real benefit in that respect to many of our small and medium-sized businesses.

I think that would serve as a powerful catalyst for other nations to follow suit.

I just wanted to make sure I did not misunderstand something.

One of the concerns that I have about this conversation is that we have spent now an hour and a half talking about energy issues in Europe and not once has anyone mentioned energy efficiency and the demand side of energy.

I hope that is under consideration, active consideration, because if it is not, I can assure you that I will come back.

I hope we have your commitment today that we will see that report on time and with real substance.

I am very concerned--and I know some other members of this committee are as well--about increased Russian influence in the Balkans.

I do think there are some scenarios that might allow that to happen.

I appreciate that, and I hope that you will take the lessons that are learned and make sure that they are incorporated into Columbia.

the Committee continues to be concerned about the Department of Defense (and Federal Government at large) support for 'Made in the USA' contracting opportunities.
