As an Individual

Michael B. Mukasey

No. I simply want to express my gratitude to the committee and its members for hearing me today and considering this issue.

The United States Congress, and certainly the foreign affairs committee of the House of Representatives, before which I've testified, has also heard testimony on this issue and has very much the same reaction that the members of this committee appear to have. I'm hoping that decent people in both countries can ultimately prevail, and I thank you for hearing me in that spirit.
