menendez: mr. secretary, the secretary has agreed to stay with us until each member has the opportunity to get answers to their questions. as such, i have agreed -- sec. blinken: thank you very much. to all members, i appreciate the opportunity to be with all of you today to discuss our policy on afghanistan, including where we are, how we got here, and where we are going in the weeks and months ahead. for 20 years, congress has conducted oversight and provided funding for the mission in afghanistan. and i know, from my own time as a staff member here in this room, for then senator biden, just how invaluable a partner congress is. as i said when i was nominated, i believe strongly in congress' traditional role as a partner in foreign policymaking. i am committed to working with you on the path forward in afghanistan and to advance the interests of the american people. on this 20th anniversary of 9/11, as we honor nearly 3000 men, women, and children who lost their lives, we are reminded of why we w

menendez: i didn't get the full script here, to put it very plainly. i will reserve the opportunities to ask for these consents and wait for one of our colleagues to appear on the floor. i yield the floor at this time. i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: the presiding officer: the senator from new jersey. are. mr. menendez: i ask that the quorum call be vitiated. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. menendez: pursuant to the comments i was making a few minutes ago, let me move directly to my request. i ask unanimous consent that the senate proceed to the consideration of calendar number 355, donald lu, to be assistant secretary of state for south asian affairs and that the senate vote on the nomination without intervening action or debate. the presiding officer: is there objection? a senator: madam president. the presiding officer: the senator from texas. mr. cruz: reserving the right to object, i want to make a few remarks on senator menendez's request for unanimous consent on t

senator menendez: thank you. >> thank you, mr. chairman. let me say something on behalf of the people i represent in wyoming. this is not pointed to either party, this is pointed to the congress of the united states. it is absolutely irresponsible that we are $28 trillion in debt and both parties sit here and blame each other for what they both did, irresponsibly, it's absolutely unconscionable what we have done to the people of this country. it's both party's fault, it's the congress' fault. we need to address it. but we are so busy making each other look like the rat's rear end that we won't address the real problems in this country that led us to be $28 trillion plus in debt. mrs. lummis: now asking to get further in debt. i'm horrified. my constituents are horrified. this is -- has got to stop. that said now i'll turn my attention to the secretary. secretary yellen, speaking of horrified, my constituents cannot believe that you support a proposal to require banks and credit unions to report customer data to the internal revenue service

menendez: mr. president, we heard over the course of many hours last week and indeed over the many nonts that foreign affairs nominees have been languishing on the senate floor. the concerns of the junior senator from texas related to the nord stream 2 pipeline. we have also heard from members of this body about the humanitarian situation in afghanistan, the junior senator from missouri. as i have said publicly and repeatedly, i share my colleagues' concerns about the nord stream 2 pipeline. he put up a series of my quotes. they're all true. i'm still of that view. but i'm not of the view that you stop the national security apparatus in order to pursue a policy difference and create a whole host of other serious risks for the united states. i believe and have said that the evacuation from afghanistan was fatally flawed. in fact, the foreign relations committee held a hearing and heard from secretary blinken about the situation in afghanistan. the foreign relations committee is holding a briefing to

i think especially important was the statement that senator bob menendez was the chair of the senate foreign relations committee put out after israel, flattened that residential building in gaza that housed all the media offices and said that israel needed to be held accountable for what it did now it's very significant because sen menendez has been a champion of israel for many, many decades in his congressional career. so the fact that you had someone so prominent and such a high position in congress who is so pro israel say these things. i think that that definitely had a big consideration in terms of changing the domestic dynamics of the politics is using it right herself. the international human rights organizations have also criticize the actions of both the israeli army and her mouth since the violence human rights watch said quote, rocket and mortar attacks during the may 2021. fighting in the gaza strip, which killed and injured civilians in israel and gaza, violated the laws of war, an amount to war crimes in a separate report, human rights watch stated. it found no evidenc

bob menendez is a strong biden supporter.s is someone, he backed biden in 2016 when hillary ended up being the nominee and his words were as forceful as ted cruz's or ron johnson and yesterday we saw it from key figures in the democratic house like karen bass. and i think that it is going to continue. i do think on an optics level it made a big difference that secretary blinken was in person today. not that it was his fault for not going yesterday, was the rules that you could zoom in. there was even the congressman who was in his closet who did it. but you should be there. this is a big deal and will be as leon panetta said it. a huge moment in his time as secretary of state, for better or for worse and i did like the dynamics better in person. it needs to be treated with respect especially since we lost american lives, 13, and 18 wounded. but it felt like a bipartisan shellacking to me. it felt like yesterday was longer time limits. and i think that that's something that the biden administration is prepared for. they know w

chair menendez: without objection. sen. merkley: as provincial capitals started to fall and non-provincial capitals fall in six days, there is questions about whether the government of afghanistan would direct reconsolidation of forces to essentially consolidate protection of the territory still held, which was drinking. did the government of afghanistan -- which was shrinking. did the government of afghanistan take decisions to consolidate military forces? sec. blinken: it did not and this is a source of tremendous frustration across the administration from the president on down. as the summer went on and we saw the taliban moving across the country, we repeatedly pressed the afghan government to do just what you described, was to consolidate its forces and defend what is essential to defend and what could be defended, not to extend itself across the entire country, which it did not have the full capacity to do. unfortunately, that consolidation and the plan we urged on them for how to effectively defend the major cities n
