As Secretary Clinton has said, our relationship with Pakistan is not always an easy one, but it is important for both of our nations.

It's incongruous to provide enormous sums to the Pakistan military via the coalition support funds unless we're certain that the Pakistanis are committed to locate, disrupt, and dismantle terrorist threats inside of their border.

I have to see the movement toward those elements, and I cannot continue at a time in which we face such enormous challenges here at home to vote for billions of dollars that at the end of the day do not lead toward a more open…

Instability in Pakistan would undermine what we are trying to achieve in the region.

I hope that when you become the Ambassador, you will come to your own independent conclusions.

Are you aware that the Turkish leadership in the north has rejected the Council of Europe's request to conduct an islandwide census to accurately determine the current demographic composition of the island's population?

As the author of the sanctions on the Central Bank of Iran, I am concerned that some countries are not cooperating with us in that regard.

I still see tens of thousands of people who were never there, who have no history with the Island of Cyprus...

I can only assume that one would reject a census because the very essence of my question is the concern that is being driven here.

Thirty-eight years after the occupation and invasion, it is beyond the mindset of anyone to believe that we would still be in this set of circumstances today.

I did not hear President Aliyev say his main enemy or security concern is Iran.

I look forward to following up with Ambassador Morningstar.

I have a real problem with us going ahead and selling military hardware to Azerbaijanis based upon what has happened.

I will do everything that I can, looking at it from the Azerbaijan side of things, if confirmed, to discourage that and talk about how unacceptable that is.

We have to very strictly draw the line with respect to assistance that can be in our interest and helpful to Azerbaijan as opposed to assistance that could be used with respect to the dispute with Armenia.

We have to comply strictly with the waiver provisions under section 907.

The United States should continue to work with the international community to push for greater accountability and protection for human rights in Sri Lanka.

The United States should continue to press for elections as soon as possible to ensure that the seeds of the democratic process, planted in 2008, are able to flourish.

In March 2011, I led a resolution in the Senate calling for greater accountability in Sri Lanka.

I would like it to be one of your priority items in your agenda.

I have the families of 32 of 189 Americans who died on Pan Am Flight 103.

There are energy analysts that are projecting that Iran's oil exports will fall by as much as 50 percent in the coming months.

The Spanish company Repsol has begun to drill in Cuban waters, despite the fact that Cuba is clearly incapable of mitigating a leak that would harm U.S. interests in the Caribbean.

I think that what was done today was probably the easy part, to some degree, in terms of determining these countries.

I support the Secretary's decision and applaud the action of our friends and allies in the European Union and Japan.
