I've served on the International Relations Committee.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a member of the US committee o the United Nations.
I work on the Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees to keep us safe at home and strong in the world.
I got the chance to be the secretary of state; I'm an international relations specialist. It doesn't get better than that.
I worked at the United Nations.
I also served on many government committees.
I was an Army intelligence agent and a veteran during the Cold War, assigned to West Germany. I was the chairman of the National Commission on Homeland Security and Terrorism for the United States for five years. I was a person who has dealt extensively with these homeland security issues. I was a governor during the 9/11 attack.
As a senator, I play an important role in crafting foreign policy.
So I've gone in and out of the U.N., working on counter-terrorism, on U.N. reform, on peacekeeping, peace and security issues, many things through the years but always with a strong interest in humanitarian issues, and human rights issues as well.
I have had national security background, 10 years on the Intelligence Committee, the last two years as chair.
I'm on the Armed Services Committee, which gives me the opportunity to get involved on some of these international issues. My focus is, as you know, on the economic issues and budget issues.
