and mr. vice president, let me get right to you about this, about the iranian plot. many people are wondering, is this an act of war? >> it is an outrageous act, where the iranians will have to be held accountable. i think when you see the case presented, you're going to find there is compelling evidence for the assertion being made from multiple sources. the first thing we do is make sure the entire world and all of the capitals in the world understand what the iranians had in mind. it's an outrage that violates one of the fundamental premise, which is the safety and sanctity of diplomats. this is over the top. they have to be held accountable. we're in the process of uniting world public opinion continuing to isolate and condemn their behavior. >> you say be held accountable. right now, it seems to be sanctions. is that enough? we're talking about an attack on american soil. >> well, what we're talking about is that we have to make sure, first and foremost -- and i think we've done this incredibly well so far, is to unite the whole world in the moral disabation of

mr. ray dempsey, vice president of bp america, mr. bill ambrose, managing director of north american division of transocean, mr. james bement. did i say that correctly? vice president of sperry drilling which is a division of halliburton. you were in the audience and you saw the ground rules are as far as the timing and your full statement will appear in the record. when the green light is on, you are doing very fine and when the yellow light comes on it means you have a minute and when the red light comes on at teens that your time is expired. i would ask if you could be as close to that as possible. as a programming note, we anticipate votes sometime between 1:00 and 1:15. if this wraps up before then that will be fine. otherwise we will have votes and then come back immediately after the votes. we can't go longer than 4:00. i don't anticipate that happening but i just want to give a heads-up to everybody. but that mr. dempsey you are recognized for five minutes. >> thank you mr. chairman. chairman hastings, members of the committee
