Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the Subcommittee on International Human Rights.
We have some guests with us, but before we begin, I just want to mention that the subcommittee returned from a visit to Washington, D.C., the week before last. Without going in depth about the trip, which was very successful, I want to recognize the immense efforts of our clerk and analysts in preparing us for that trip, dealing with the logistics and really having that trip run as smoothly as it did. I know it took a lot of work. The very fact that we had close to 18 meetings over a day and a half is testament to the hard work put in by the three of you.
I know that all members of this subcommittee will recognize those efforts.
