what if any role has the state department or will the state department play in the attempt to provide justice for mr. sharp's family? >> so if i may speak without talking about the particular case but what we do in instances just like this one, i am happy to give you a briefing on exactly what we have done on this particular instance, but the state department is always involved when there is an incident like the one you described. we work with the local law enforcement as do other elements of the united states government to try to get the facts. whether it is a u.n. investigation we work to push to get the u.n. to get it right and to make sure they have the resources they need in the theater in that space. we worked out to develop relationships, carry out conversations so we can get answers for the american people in this case. >> mr. secretary, if you would or someone at your bequest on your behalf visit with me about this specific case, i welcome the conversation. thank you. let's go to saudi arabia. we know they have detained american citizenship citizens i this is behavior that i

what you have brought to the state department? mr. pompeo: thank you for having me here this morning. thanks for that kind introduction. i heard you were going to wing it. that always creates fear in my heart. [laughter] when i came to the state department, i had the experience, i'd already been in the administration as the director of the c.i.a. so i was current both on the issue set as well as the operations of the national security council was operating. so i had some advantages over coming into a cold start. what i wanted to do was make sure and put diplomacy at the very front what have president trump was doing. i wanted to make sure that our team was ready to do that, capable of doing that. had the commander's intent, that they understood what president trump wanted. so i spent an awful lot of time in his first year making sure that was the case. we talked about swagger. about being prepared to have the confidence as an american diplomat know that you represent the greatest nation in the history of civilization and that you have

what if any role has the state department or will the state department play in the attempt to provide justice for mr. sharp's family? >> so if i may speak without talking about the particular case, i'll tell you what we do in instances just like this one. i'm happy to give you a briefing on exactly what we have done in this particular instance. but the state department is always involved when there is an incident like the one you describe. we work with the local law enforcement as to other elements of the united states government to try and get the facts, where there is a u.n. investigation, as you described here. we work to push the u.n. to get it right ask to make sure too they have the resources they need in the theater, in that space, to get it right too. we work to help them develop relationships, carry out conversations so that we can get answers for the american people, in this case, a kansan. >> mr. secretary, if you would, or someone on your behalf visit with me about this specific case. >> yes, absolutely. >> thank you. mr. secretary, let's go to saudi arabia. we know they h

esty mentioned before, friday was your one-year anniversary at the state department. what has changed? what if you brought to the state department. >> was first of all thanks having me this way. thanks for the find -- kind introduction. when they came to the state department i had the expense i don't been in administration director of the cia so i i was crippled on issues that as well as the operations of how a national screw to counsel was operating, so had some advantages instead come in as a culture group i want to do is make sure to put the palms at the front of what president trump was doing. want to make sure our team would do that, capable of doing that, had the commanders intent that it is to what president trump wanted. so spent an awful lot of time into furniture making sure that was the case. we talked about being prepared, and by being prepared at the confidence that american diplomats know that you were present the greatest nation in history of civilization, that you both the benefit of that and a responsibility that comes alongside them. we spent a lot o

because if you look at the public servants of the united states today, the state department in the intelligence community in the military, they are deeply patriotic, committed, they have enormous amounts of expertise that you need to draw on, not disdain. and when donald trump was asked last year about whether he was concerned of the number of senior vacancies in the state department, his response was, "not so much, because i'm the only one who matters". that is not a prescription for playing an effective american role in the world. so those were the right questions, any elected president would have had to address them. but i think what he's supplying are the wrong answers. we are hollowing out our ability to compete effectively on a landscape which is far more competitive and contested today than it was when ijoined the foreign service. let's talk about that new landscape, it seems to me the one challenge we haven't talked about, the one that matters more arguably than the others, is china. that's certainly true. do you think it's time to confront, co—operate with, or contain china? i think

president's 2020 budget request for the state department. the senate foreign relations committee asked him about asylum claims at the us southern border, relations with saudi arabia and the administration's recent decision to label iran's islamic revolutionary guard corps as a terrorist group. this is just under 3 hours. [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] >> the committee will come to order. good morning, everyone, thank you for being here and we obviously have a distinguished guest here today who will help us through the dialogue, our topic is the state department's fiscal year 2020 budget request and our witness is the right man to answer questions about that request, mike pompeo. one thing many americans may not realize, the state department is part of the bedrock of our national security, it's diplomats our eyes and ears on the globe, they are the tip of the sphere for advancing us interests overseas. our first line of defense against malign influences and a vital lead in negotiations to make sure our relations with frie

we need a state department for today. the world has changed and we need our diplomacy to reflect that. for example, we need to make sure that diplomats are getting the support they need. china, russiant and iranian diplomats don't have trouble. high19, the stakes are too in this way, which limits u.s. engagement in a number of places. we need our people out there advancing human rights and pushing american business. these are things we cannot do well enough by sitting behind an embassy. that like any federal agency, there are many areas for improvement. i believe the department should find these first. to secretaryd pompeo addressing those issues. first, the department needs to be fully staffed. we are far too in the administration. i'm optimistic that this week, we will see confirmation of the general to the ambassador of saudi arabia, but there's much in therk to be done state department here and i know the secretary shares my view in that regard. i want to thank secretary pompeo. i expect this will be far from the last

when we undercut the state department, and we have depleted the state department of that -- a lot of that experience. you know, we are still in a situation where a large number of investors have not been appointed yet to represent our country. they are the diplomatic face of the united states and -- and all of these countries. frankly, when i was secretary of defense, i visited every ambassador and talked with the ambassador about what was going on in that particular country. it is the eyes and ears of the united states, having that capability. it is part of our strength, and leadership in the world. if you do not give a damn about leadership, it is all about letting other people do their own thing, and it is -- then you do not care about the state department. if you care about american leadership and the ability to maintain the alliances you have to maintain, you need diplomacy. you need diplomats. they are as important as your military commanders, probably more so because if they do their role right, you can find a way to resolve issues in the world. it goes to the strength of the
