I appreciate this hearing coming in the early part of this Congress so that hopefully, before this Congress is over, we can, in fact, on a bipartisan basis, once and for all move ourselves toward a predictable process for discovery.
Cicilline hopes for a bipartisan approach to improve the discovery process.

Since the Goldman Act was enacted there has been a decline in the number of American children abducted overseas and that is a good news story.
The problem is we haven't committed to a mission. I have asked Secretary Blinken to define what he thinks the mission is.
The Goldman Act empowered the State Department to seek the return of American children, yet, the department, in my opinion, has not used the full of range of tools as Congress has intended.
We have to recognize that would include occupying part of Russia, toppling their government, and replacing them with a different government.
