David Cicilline: “The Honorable David Cicilline, a Representative in Congress from the State of Rhode Island”

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 problem is we haven't committed to a mission. I have asked Secretary Blinken to define what he thinks the mission is.

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