Yesterday, Congress passed important legislation that will further efforts to obtain fair compensation for American citizens in their claims against the Libyan government. I applaud the Congress’ action. We hope administration efforts, working with the Congress, will help our fellow citizens close a painful chapter in their lives. The United States also looks forward to expanding its relationship with Libya and its people as we resolve contentious issues from the past.
