Order, please.
Today is December 9, 2014. Welcome to the 49th meeting of the Subcommittee on International Human Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development.
We are televised today, colleagues, and we are continuing our review of the human rights situation in Honduras.
Today, from Washington, DC, we have Alexander Main, who is a senior associate at the Center for Economic and Policy Research.
Mr. Main, welcome to the human rights subcommittee. You are welcome to begin your testimony. When you conclude, we will start a round of questions and answers. The length of those questions and your answers will be determined, essentially, by how much time is available to us remaining in the hour.
That being said, I invite you to please feel free to start your testimony.
