David Cicilline: “It's disruptive and you think the Committee and Congress should look at other things.”

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.

The future economic prosperity of our state is directly dependent on our ability to get this right.

Secretly, I was always hoping I would be surprised it would move really quickly, but as a practical matter, I knew that was not the case.

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.
