military must be a matter of last resort. i want to make sure that our next secretary of state is very sensitive to that particular issue. and then we get to the concern about the ethical issues. i need to mention this because when we asked him questions about his knowledge of exxonmobil, he was less than forthcoming to the committee, not aware of exxonmobil's lobbying on certain issues, very unclear about how its activities were in syria, iran and other countries that have horrible human rights records, and his willingness to recuse himself from anything affecting exxon for one year, not for the entire length of term that he would be secretary of state if confirmed by the senate. he should not deal with exxonmobil for the entire length of his time as secretary of state, as a person who has substantial wealth as a result of his working at exxonmobil. none of us criticize him on that but it disqualifies him from dealing with exxonmobil. so, madam president, we're going to be involved in a lengthy debate on the next secretary of state, as we should, but i just wanted to share with my colleagues my concern about mr. tillerson and why i'm opposing his nomination and just i
