(FRIDAY, Oct. 7, 2016) -- Sen. Patrick Leahy, (D-Vt., and ranking member of the Senate's State Department And Foreign Operations Appropriations Subcommittee) for several years has been a partner in supporting and advancing President Santos' peace initiative, through Leahy's work on the Appropriations Committee and in other ways.] Peacemaking requires courage and patience and grit, and President Santos has invested all of these qualities in forging peace in Colombia. The United States has been a partner in the peace process, and I have come to know and admire President Santos through our work together. This is a proud moment and deserved recognition for him, for his country, and for his partners, and it should help propel his efforts to finally end a half century of war. # # # # # Press Contact Press Contact David Carle: 202-224-3693 Next Article Previous Article | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
