Either it is the regime who conducted these attacks, or they have full knowledge of who conducted these attacks

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, unfortunately I am going to have to go the White House for an immigration meeting, so I am going to have a series of questions for the record.

The regime cannot be counted upon to uphold its international commitments or responsibilities, and most certainly the regime has no regard for individual human rights, security, or dignity.

The Castro regime has proven time and time again it is not a responsible actor in the community of nations.

I empathize with the great suffering experienced by the Armenian people during this dark chapter in their history.

I recognize and deplore the mass killings and deportations of Armenians that occurred during the final years of the Ottoman Empire.

I acknowledge and mourn the mass killings and forced deportations that devastated over one and a half million Armenians at the end of the Ottoman Empire.

Resolution of the controversy will improve regional security and rule of law.

The United States supports the definitive resolution of the Venezuela-Guyana border controversy.

I am pleased to hear there are efforts to increase staffing and restore some of the damage that was done.

We see a backsliding in democracy and human rights in the hemisphere.

I have serious concerns that I expressed to the Administrator about the continuing part of AID's mission in democracy and human rights.

We have to be able to weave diversity into the fabric of our entire lifecycle of talent management.

I have, in my 26 years of doing foreign policy between the House and the Senate, had a real challenge with the State Department's lack of diversity.

When you bypass the procedures and there is no consequences for bypassing and you allow that bypassing to go on with impunity at the end of the day.

The bombing of a school bus and other civilian targets is a perfection of what we are doing.

Will you provide this committee and members thereof with a timely, honest, and candid response to inquiries that are put to you?

There is no doubt in my mind if the Crown Prince was in front of a jury, he would be convicted unanimously of murder in 30 minutes.

If you were confirmed--you are now the Ambassador of the United States for Yemen--what do you envision your role, not the Department's role, being in this regard?

The Associated Press, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, the U.N. Panel of Experts on Yemen have all issued reports detailing the torture of Yemeni detainees by Yemeni forces receiving support from the United Arab Emirates.

There is no military solution to the conflict in Yemen

We have not seen an investment in a robust diplomatic strategy

The Kremlin has made no secret of its agenda to undermine democracies across the world.

I remain concerned about the aggressive role of Azerbaijan and the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh.

The status quo is not tenable and we need some strong diplomacy.
