Robert Menendez actually said...

"We cannot abdicate our duties. Senators on both sides of the aisle must immediately demand upon open hearings..."

"Will you come before the committee for full public hearings on the--any restructuring of State or USAID, if major changes are proposed, prior to make those changes?"

"I hope that you will take the discussion that the Chairman and I had, back--reaffirming to the Secretary what I told him personally."
