Secretary of State Marco Rubio Remarks to the Press

SECRETARY RUBIO:  All right.  Thank you, guys. 

Obviously, we had a classified hearing, so the details of which we can’t discuss.  It’s, I believe, our 22nd or 23rd bipartisan engagement.  We’ll continue to engage with Congress on this.  We’re headed to the House now to do a similar briefing and provide updates on this counter-drug mission, which is focused on dismantling the infrastructure of these terrorist organizations that are operating in our hemisphere, undermining the security of Americans, threat – killing Americans, poisoning Americans. 

And this has been a highly successful mission that’s ongoing and continued, and we’re pleased to be here today to update Congress on how that’s developing and how that’s moving forward.  As I said, I believe it’s our 22nd, 23rd such engagement, so – been at least the fourth or fifth that I’ve been involved in, and those will remain and be ongoing.  Okay?
