joining us now is republican senator jerry moran of kansas. thank you very much for talking to us senator. you know congress and the obama admi making their case for and against continuing sanctions. obama and his team believe that we've got to do this because otherwise u.s. sanctions and resolutions will be ignored eventually by other countries. my question to you is that the right approach? do we lift sanctions because we're worried about how other countries might perceive us? >> julie, thanks for letting me join you. this is probably the most important decision issue that many members of the united states senate will face during their time in the united states senate and i certainly agree with what secretary kerry just said which is i hope that the decision about whether to approve or agree with the agreement will be done on the merits and what i'm fearful is that this will become a political issue in which democrats find themselves in a position of having to support what i think is a terrible agreement simply because the president happens

senator jerry moran chairs the hearing. >> this hearing of the subcommittee is now called to order. 3:00 is troublesome to our subcommittee. we'll see how this goes as far as how we handle that circumstance when it arises. i would like to first thank the witnesses today for participating in what i think is a very important hearing regarding international soccer governance. i'm not one who generally thinks congress should investigate every scandal in the world of professional sports. neuer do i believe that the topics we are discussing today will lead to legislation that must be enacted. but i do believe this is a significant issue that deserves public attention. by shining light on the corruption bribery and other criminal activity that has been a part of international soccer for far too long my hope is that the american people, current and future sponsors, and media companies that support the games today will better understand the consequences of allowing the organizations governing soccer to continue without reform. including the tragic loss of life. according to some reports, as ma
