the foreign relations committee held a confirmation hearing, which spoke about her work related to human trafficking. this is 50 minutes. senator bob corker. beforeust at a meeting, here to push the legislation

unanimously passed under your leadership as chairman of the slavery initiative act. it was pretty overwhelming. i know -- i try to stay out of puppets. ulpits. this was the only place i could speak that had a microphone. it was overwhelming to see the numbers of people appear who cares of deeply about this issue. you know, the issue of trafficking in persons and slavery is something that is not a democrat issue or republican issue. it is not an independent issue. it is a moral issue. it does not take a major decision memo, it just takes all of us. sureantly fighting to make we deal with this most abhorrent thing -- that is trafficking in persons and the whole issue of slavery in general.

i just wanted to say to our committee, i'm so thrilled with today's hearing. i am so appreciative and proud of our committee for what we have begun to do. and i think we have some momentum around this issue. nominationoppage's could not come at a better time. i do not think there is anybody that was part of the briefing last week that does not believe there is at least some degree of integrity that we need to 2014enge relative to the -- 2015 tip report. i'm sorry, something is amiss there. cardinto thank senator and others who were there. think we have had an advocate -- i know we have not had an advocate since 2014. to have someone of this caliber

who is absolutely first-rate, who has lived the life around this issue and has been so -- makes it ajust great day for our country. i hope after her testimony today, we will move quickly to have her confirmed. i'm thrilled she is here. her and herwith breathing some integrity, but also some advocacy that is missing in this program, it will do a lot not just to restore them if you will, our preeminence in the world. i'm sorry, i think we have lost a degree of that. it has nothing to do with our nominee. i actually believe we're on the verge of doing something relevant to slavery that is going to show real u.s. leadership. for that reason, i am very pleased to see susan has agreed

to be nominated and to go to the process of this hearing and hopefully to assume this role which is so important to people around the world live in poverty. and basically, let us face it, they have no access to criminal justice systems as they just do not have the ability, unlike people like us that our u.s. senators and people in the audience that have status in the world. so many people in poverty just do not, and therefore, are trafficked, our abuse. and they live lives of complete misery. and our nation and do something about it. with susan's leadership in the tip office, it is a building block to make that happen. i'm sorry my comments were so long. i will turn it over to our esteemed ranking member and thank him for his lifelong commitment to human rights. >> mr. chairman, i confer on everything you said.

ms. coppage, thank you for stepping forward. this is an extremely important position and will take a great deal of energy and time. we thank you for your willingness to serve our country. i also want to thank your family. this is not easy on family. we know that. we thank them for their willingness to share you with our country in carrying out one of our most important functions. senator corker is absolutely right. modern-day slavery, this is something that has to end. the number of people who are caught up in victims of trafficking, it is staggering. tens of millions. the profit to a legal entities by trafficking is in the hundreds of billions of dollars. we talking about a huge area of profit for criminal activities and incredible human rights

violations in our time. it is modern-day slavery. and we need to continue to be in the forefront. i first got engaged in this under the helsinki commission. we made this a priority. we were successful in establishing trafficking commitment within. there is now a representative and parliamentary assembly, chris smith -- our colleague from the representatives who is been a great legislative member. about 15 years ago, we passed the statute here which set up the tip report, which is the gold standard for judging all countries'commitment. i visited centers around the world and have seen firsthand those 11 victimized by traffickers. i have seen the consequences of it to families and i've seen the

labor abuses that have taken place in trafficking. and it has to be our top priority. so, the position that we are looking at today, the person who will head our tip office as a critical mission to play. because the u.s. is leadership globally on this issue. and the world watches what we do. and how we respond. and our key person would be the person who will have this confirmed position that we're talking about today. and it is quickly important that that person the effective in dealing with the undersecretary of civilian security democracy and human rights. in discussions that take place, the undersecretary of political affairs and our regional secretaries, as they review progress being made in every country in the world. so that when the decisions made by the secretary of state on the tip report, it is the person who

holds the confirmed position are talking about today that has been effective in getting the objectivity of revealing countries' rankings. so, i very much look forward ms. coppage to your testimony. also to a quick confirmation. you have senator isakson at your side. you cannot have a person who we are more impressed with. we look forward to your testimony. and more portly, we hope we can move this quickly and get a confirmed position of head of the office. >> we will now turn to our witness and as senator cardin mentioned, our great friend and esteemed colleague mr. isaacson is going to make it unanimous assent when he does so. senator isakson, i know you're

on the committee. but you know the drill. if you in fact have another meeting you need to go to, there is no reason for you to stay during your testimony. we thank you very much for being the kind of person you are. we are glad that someone from your state in which let's face it, embodies the values you do here. is willing to ascend to this job. we certainly look forward to your introduction. thank you so much for your service. members you for all the with whom i am honored to serve for a number of years. i appreciate the privilege. this is a twofer for me. i had the privilege of introducing sally yates. in front of this community, i will introduce susan coppage -- who studied under sally yates. i am honored and privileged to be able to does a. there are a lot of things i could say about the city. but the best thing is that she

has been there and done that. in the northern district of georgia, she has prosecuted 21 high-profile human trafficking cases. a couple of my commission. the cortez mesa case which convicted 10 in the trafficking of young girls, six of them juveniles. not only did she obtain sentencing, she got restitution, which is a great part of her ability. she put away 40 and 35 years respectfully to of the most tories criminals that were coming out of mexico and he had a states of america. the northern district of georgia is probably the center post for the transit of people from latin america and central america of the eastern seaboard to new york city and new england. in terms of drugs, organized crime, human trafficking, and illicit activity. she has been lead prosecutors and has prosecuted a number of high-profile cases, all of which resulted not only convictions

but recognition from the u.s. attorneys. she graduated from stanford with a jurist doctorate. and got a magna cum laude -- which i cannot even pronounce. her undergraduate degree was from duke, and she is an articulate individual. i have to tell you, the day that secretary kerry interviewed her for the job was a david duke won the national chairmanship in best of all it is a good omen. it is a privilege to introduce one of george's outstanding attorneys, who studied under sally yates, one of which i am very proud to introduce, one who understands the regulation of numbers in terms of the tip. we have unvented unvarnished information and do the right thing every time. number the committee, and outstanding georgian, susan

coppage. >> that you so much. >> as usual, an outstanding job. susan coppage has been nominated to serve as rank of ambassador large. we look forward to your testimony. thank you for being here. susan: to consider the nomination to monitor and combat trafficking in person. thank you so much for the introduction. i'm honored to appear before you, as i'm honored and humbled by the confidence the president obama and secretary kerry have placed in me to serve our nation and continuing the global fight against human trafficking. i want to thank the individuals from the office to monitor and combat trafficking in person, kerry johnston and carl fox. they truly have their hearts in the fight. and they stand ready to help me. also want to thank my husband,

the renzo amato. without him, and there were children, i cannot do this job. my father is here, my sister, my sister in law, many of my friends from the u.s. attorney's office in atlanta are here. colleagues and friends and fellow cast mates from duke and stanford are here as well. over my career, i have worked on cases and have assisted over 90 individuals in leaving their victimization. and in many cases, those individuals dissipated in the process. of bringing their exploiters to justice. i have worked with and trained federal, state, and local law enforcement. i have partnered with nongovernmental organizations, faith groups, and concerned citizens to provide services to victims. finally, i've educated jurors and judges the modern slavery often does not involve locks on the doors or victims who were

willing to come forward. human trafficking involves more subtle forms of explication and coercion. our goal, everyone in this room who cares about the fight, is to ensure the dignity of all individuals. human trafficking in all its forms and the weather forced labor or sex trafficking, is modern slavery. and it is one of the great human rights causes of our time. you must assume our response ability to stop this heinous crime and to address the conditions such as violent conflict, poverty, and determination that contribute to making individuals oral. with the leadership of that obama, secretary kerry, and undersecretaries, as well as the members of this committee were dedicated to the fight, i know we can raise the priority of human trafficking and strengthen the u.s. leadership on this important issue. commit to using this position passionately advocate for the rights of

individuals to be free from forced labor or forced sex trafficking. for victims to have access to preventive service. for survivors to be empowered and have a voice and policy and for an end to the trafficking in human beings. if confirmed, i will seek to engage every segment of the u.s. government to integrate anti-trafficking policies and to our foreign policy goals. if confirmed, i pledge to do my utmost to uphold the integrity of the annual trafficking and persons report and its rankings, including by ensuring the facts from the field are accurately considered in the report. the report is respected around the world are using countless countries to increase prosecutions enhance protection, and increase mention of the crime. if confirmed, i pledge to work closely with the many nongovernmental organizations and stakeholders doing critical work in this arena.

and partner with those in the business community who seek strong policies that ensure humane labor practices. i would like to close with a story of carolina. a survivor i had the chance to know while i prosecuted her trafficker. corteza was 16 when one remaster and mexico, promising thea better life in united states. instead, he smuggled her across the border and give her the most shocking news of her life. he expected her to sleep with 20-30 men a night in his high-volume, low-cost prostitution business. at first, he told her it would only last until her smuggling debt to be paid. then he told her it was the only way she could make money. coercion wass insufficient, he beat her to force her to continue. i had the privilege of being

with her as she bravely spoke to the federal judge who heard her case. sharing her pain and describing how she cried every night. only the walls could hear my cry is what she told him. hearday at trial, atlanta carolina. and today, sharing the story today with you, the united states here's her story. the indelible memory of her and the survivors like her fuels my commitment to antitrafficking work. there may people in this world iho are as passionate as am. each of us plays a part in helping survivors worldwide and in supporting governments, nongovernmental organizations, and citizens to end modern slavery. i so look forward to working with the members of this committee and others in our shared fight. thank you again for your consideration. and i look forward to answering any questions that you have. you.ank

again,r testimony, and for your commitment to this issue. i think you are aware we had a meeting last week. on the senate floor, we talked about some of our concerns with the current temp office. and i realize there is no one there and your position, there has not been anyone since .14 november. but the rankings are reviewed and differences adjudicated with the under secretary level as we understand it, by the secretary of state ultimately. what is your understanding of the process? susan: my understanding is that the director is a position i'm being considered for. it is the person who first marshals with the office staff, all of the facts from the field. the spins the year engaging our missions, the state department bureau, citizens, and

nongovernmental relations all reporting facts to the office. then the ambassador, the director of the office, advocates for the role that the office believes in the rankings the fact that takes. >> you will commit to sharing that the integrity of the process is there. i will that way. susan: yes, senator. corker: what can come into play to keep them from being what they should be? susan: i have not been a part of the process yet. i'm watching from the sidelines. i do not want to be a monday morning or back and critique the team on sunday. but i can commit to you that i would my best to ensure the integrity of the report. so that people in the department know that the report needs to be based on fact to uphold its integrity. senator corker: over time, there

is been a good deal of attrition in the office, possibly due to lack of focus and leadership. obviously, you would change that usually when you assume the role. can you tell us a bit about what your commitment is internally in the office in assuming this position? part of the process, i have met with individuals who work in the office. i am very impressed either dedication to the fight against human trafficking. they work hard and they care deeply about the issue. and i hope to be a good leader to them and a good champion for the report. i look forward to working with individuals who are there. senator corker: one of the things we all do -- i had dinner with senator purdue last week. we were talking about the fact that just the experience of being in other countries over a. of time in separating a body of knowledge that is second to none. it is amazing what all of us by going to other

parts of the world, understanding culture, seeing what is happening there. it is my understanding that the tip office has a limited travel budget, and because of constraints, many of the officers are not out doing those things. an obvious the, that affects things in a big way. i wonder what your take on that is and what your commitment to people getting out and staying on the ground firsthand what is happening question mark susan: it is very important to get into countries, vertically ones that are in a place to make a difference if they have a visit from u.s. officials. and i'm committed to going to countries in doing that. i do believe that meeting people face-to-face and building those relationships, working not just with governments but citizens and nongovernmental positions in the country who frequent the supply information to the office, meeting those individuals so they know they have an avenue of medication to reporting facts in the field. having i'm well situated

been on the front lines in prosecuting these cases myself. to talk to people about the hurdles and obstacles and suggest ways we overcome them here in the united state. and i look forward to doing that in the field. and what is your understanding of how the action plans for each country have developed? understanding is that the recommendations in the report that everyone can read, those regulations form the basis of the action plans for the country. and the u.s. is certainly encouraging other countries to meet those goals and the suggestions in the tip report to increase their rankings. senator corker: we commit to awareg closely, making us if at any time you feel other forces are at work which are keeping your voice from being heard. that yourimary reason are assuming this job is being mitigated by other forces, you

work with us in that regard and ensure that is not the case? susan: i look forward to working with the committee because there are so many on it who are passionate and dedicated to the fight. i look forward to open to medications with the committee. senator corker: before i turned to senator cardin, i want to tell you how fortunate we are to have someone like most of us know -- we have met individuals that have descended and caused justice to come about for individuals. assuming this role, certainly, it is something that is good for our country. and great for those who come again, do not have today access to justice. and i hope you will take the same commitment, i think you will. relative to what you did in the case you described earlier, i hope you will maintain that and carry that with you to the state department, as you assume his position. and i want to thank you for your willingness, i would think your

family for their willingness -- i understand they may actually moved to washington if you assume this role. we thank them in particular for that. and with that, i will turn to ranking member cardin. senator isakson know he might be losing some georgians? >> you how to deal with that. >> again, i want to underscore the point that chairman corker made. as i understand the process, on in rankings, the work you do your office -- working with the missions around the country, looking and working with the ngo's with as much information you can get, the factual circumstances in every country, and the objective standards we use on rankings, the initial work is done and regulated by your office. tot then works its way terminations, as to whether

there is any disagreement as to the ranking for the coming year. on the tip report, my understanding is that normally about 80% plus of the countries, or is no disagreement in the rankings. they just routinely are accepted by the secretary and included in the annual tip report. but there are a number where there are disagreements. and the disagreements usually occur between your office and the regional secretaries working through the various missions. that then is elevated to the undersecretary. and the undersecretary for civilian security, democracy, and human rights is advocating on the half of your position. , they usually advocate on behalf of of the mission. look ate is to take a the human rights issue of trafficking.

the regional secretaries may have other areas of concern and relationships to countries they must take into consideration. trafficking is one agenda issue. the point i want to underscore, as that process moves forward, it is critically important that the director have input into the undersecretary for civilian security, democracy, and your d human rights, so the objective used to determine the rankings are the process made in trafficking. that is where we need a strong advocate, an effective advocate. in order to achieve that, you for thebuild support trafficking agenda. and i cannot help but think as you are talking about carolina, that is exactly what you need to do. you have a face on this. when i talk about tens of millions, people say ok, what else is new?

when i talk about an individual that has gone through the tragedy of being trafficked, that motivates people to understand why this is important. so i guess i would urge you to look at creative ways where you can build stronger support so that your recommendations will have stronger weight with the undersecretary. as they make their recommendation to the deputy secretary and the secretary of state. and you need to find, i hope, create of ways working with the ngo committee to be able to find personal ways. it affects all of our communities. and we can do some in about it. and it starts with the u.s. objective of valuation of every countries' efforts. my point is, i know you are committed to this. but i want you to understand you are going to reach some barriers in getting the results that you want. because we accommodated

relationships with countries around the world. and they are not just human rights issues. there are other issues. i wish we had a meeting with the chinese had a state coming up on friday. and i would hope the human rights would be top on the agenda. but i have a feeling that cyber security, maritime security, or those other issues we talked about at greater length than some of the human rights issues i like to see elevated in that discussion. it is your response ability in this position to be able to elevate the trafficking issues as these debates take place, well before the decisions on the rankings. just to get your reaction, as to how you would try to carry that out? susan: that was a great cap talk on going into the job. i know the relationships are not built at the time the tip report comes out.

i want to build those throughout the year at the state department. and i want to integrate human trafficking along with those other issues that you mentioned. because there are multiple parts to our diplomacy. and human trafficking needs to be an integral part, one that is considered. senator cardin: as senator corker said, you have friends on the issue, just you lies the strength we have. i am proud of this issue has gained a great deal of strength through advocacy groups around america and around the world. to need to be the leader focus us on where we can be the most effective in helping you. if we know where problems exist in the structure to make progress, then we can help you in doing that. on the other hand, if you feel that is not your role, you may miss an opportunity. your independent objective information to us becomes critically important.

susan: thank you, senator. corker: thank you, senator cardin. it is a blight on our country and you are entering at a time when all of us want to see that change. i think that is what he just said.
