i thank senator menendez and senator risch. this bill has been reported out by their committee at least twice by near unanimous or unanimous votes. i think we all recognize that corruption provides fuel for mrt leaders to do their nefarious actions, including the war in ukraine. it is in our core national security interest to fight corruption, as declared by president biden. this patterns the effort we made in the trafficking of persons to have the state department combat corruption using standards, evaluations such as criminalizing corruption, investigating and prosecuting, adopting measures to prevent corruption, adequate resources and protecting victims of corruption. this amendment will continue the united states' leadership in fighting corruption globally. i ask my colleagues to support the amendment. mr. president, it's my understanding that we can do this by a voice vote. if that's the case, i ask unanimous consent that the 06-vote threshold with respect to this amendment be vindicated. the presiding officer: is there ob

saying he will only turn to the wind share in menendez buying covid-19 documents request. is that something they would encourage him to do? is that something you, blinken or officials have spoken to senators? >> i will speak to what is an internal senate issue, from our perspective we have already provided documents in response to his request, we have made clear that we see this as an ongoing process and we will continue to buy documents responsive to his request but he is asking us for documents that are not state department documents and documents we cannot provide because they are not in our possession but uses that as an excuse to hold up state department nominees. as the secretary pointed out, who has never been held to the standard. the vast majority of career ambassadors have been confirmed to unanimous consent. so we are happy to continue to engage a legitimate process with senator paul. i will let senator menendez speak to internal issues, but he shouldn't be holding our nominees hostage because all that does is hurt our national security. go ahead. >> thank you.
