shaheen: thank you. well, with respect to congressional action, i think we're in a place where we have the potential for congress to act before the august recess. we're working on the national defense bill, which will be marked up next week. there will be a provision in that to address siv's. we expect a separate provision to be on the table in another bill. the house has already passed out of the relevant committee their bill that has many of the things i talked about, a lower number in terms of applicants, but certainly an expedited process that should help us. we also need to provide the funding. so, i am cautiously optimistic that there is strong bipartisan support and a sense of urgency about the need to get this done and to provide the funding and make sure that we can expedite the current legislation to make it address this crisis situation. i want to also speak to the situation for afghan women and girls, because the point that's being raised, how many of these siv's are women and girls, it's a d

i also want you to hear, senator shaheen -- one other question. i am not necessarily asking you to respond to this. but i am hoping to hear from other panelis and i hope you hear the answer. this is from a daughter of an siv application ability. my question is that we all know the process is broken and they have denied lots of people who were faithful to working with the u.s. -- i am interpreting -- including my father. what will be the future of those who have missing documents because they can't find their supervisors? are we just going to leave those folks behind? i am not asking you, senator sheehan to answer that. ambassador jacobs, or jill, could you take on that question while we have the senator listening, please, just on that specific question? >> i would take a stab at it and ten i will led jill add anything that she has. basically, yes, people have been denied. sivs -- it's normally because they are missing documentation or the security check turned up something unexpected. for those that have been denied, there is an appeal process. no

shaheen: no, just to agree with jill. i think it is important to look at other ways to help those people who may not qualify under the siv process, but who are in danger because they worked with us in other capacities. again, to reiterate, this is a real crisis situation so we have to be creative about how we address it. and recognize that the bureaucracy may have originally been set up because of certain circumstances, but this is the situation now and we have to look for ways to make the bureaucracy work to help those in danger. daniel: let me add one more question, then i will bring in ambassador crocker, wayne and jacobs. the focus on siv's has been on processing those who are on humanitarian parole, from a former refugee coordinator in bangkok between 1980-1983. so, ambassador wayne, let me give you a chance to come in and react to any question, including the last one. ambassador wayne: thank you, dan. and thank you to the senator. and jill, thank you to all you are doing, you and your colleagues. and to ryan, who ha
