Today, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), a Member of the State and Foreign Operations Subcommittee, released the following statement praising President Obama's selection of Senator John Kerry to be the next Secretary of State:
"In nominating John Kerry as our nation's next Secretary of State, President Obama has selected one of America's most able diplomatic figures and someone very familiar to leaders around the globe. In the wake of the Benghazi incident and in an era
of strained resources and novel challenges, Secretary-designate Kerry will need all of our support as he prepares to take over as America's top diplomat."
