levenson, most recently when i was in geneva just a couple days ago and we consistently and we're working, we actually have a process now in place where we're working them quietly, trying to see what could be arranged. with respect to the abduction i worked on that very very hard when i was here. i had a. >> reporter: tragic case with the state of massachusetts where kids were stolen and taken back to egypt. we are trying to expand the hague abduction convention to average throughout the world. we have approximately 75 professionals who are full-time assisting parents with respect to this horrendous plight that they face. i mean, there's nothing worse, obviously. and i applaud and thank you for your con stant focus on anesthesia issues, congressman. you're really the primary focus. we appreciate it enormously. with respect to nigeria i visited there recently in order to try to keep the election process from leading to violence. we knew that was a possibility of some delay. now we're trying to make sure that this delay does not become an excuse for rigging the election, trying to steal it.
