We should not confirm anyone as U.S. Ambassador to Russia who is untested or unqualified.
We have had a large increase, relatively speaking, in the number of people who we find on the Terror Watch List who are coming across our Southwest Border.

I hope you will, should you be confirmed--I think you will be--once you are there that you will dig into this issue and give us advice as to how those sanctions can be effectively tightened.
