"I am glad we are keeping the subcommittee active, exploring the myriad pressing issues that we have in our own hemisphere even as we are challenged by events elsewhere in the world."

"I have always viewed a corollary to that is the better business practices that U.S. businesses bring."

"This body and, indeed, most of the headlines out of the foreign policy community often overlook our own hemisphere and, by extension, our closest neighbors and some of our most important allies."

"I appreciate it."
