Chuck Schumer actually said...

I recommend a vote against this amendment.

On behalf of the committee, I want to welcome Mrs. Vance-Cooks to today's hearing and we look forward to her testimony.

I would like to express my support for Mr. Tony Blinken who was recently nominated to be the next Deputy Secretary of State.

I think he is going to be a great Ambassador to a very important relationship, that between United States and Norway.
