Jim Webb: “I believe there is a role here that China could play if they would step up to the mat.”

Senator Webb, your efforts with respect to Burma have played an essential role in this regard.

I think we really need to work here in the Congress on having a clear, objective methodology that everyone can understand around the world.

I have been in a number of meetings where each of you took us to the woodshed about needing to try harder.

I am committed to trying to make this policy work, at the same time to reduce the frictions that are causing it problems.
