reserving the right to object, I want to thank the Presiding Officer, and I also want to thank my friend Senator Lindsey Graham, who has been a partner on so many things involving criminal justice, on so many good things involving safety…

For us not to have a leader in the African Union is absolutely absurd at this point.
