You have given me, Mr. Labarre, some ideas of how we might get things done in Washington.

the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act directed the administration to mandatorily impose sanctions on Iran for its violation of the international arms embargo.

I would urge you--it would be very good to have an administration witness, and from my perspective, I believe most of it can be done in public.

Do you believe that U.S. support for coalition bombings in Yemen have been an effective way to counter Iranian influence in the region?

I think we need to rethink whether or not military intervention, supplying the Saudis with weapons, whether all of this makes any sense at all or whether we have made the situation worse.

How can they have faith that their projects are judged by objective standards and not by political whims?

I personally cannot vote for you if this is going to be your set of answers.

This move would not only subject these lethal weapons to less-stringent Commerce controls, but also conveniently remove them from being subject to Congressional review and disapproval.

I appreciate that, but that is not the question I asked you.

This is a different answer that you gave me in my office.

you have changed your testimony here from what you told me in my office

do you consider Gateway a project that is nationally important?
