State Department Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Olson testified at a hearing on the future of U.S.-Pakistan relations. He said Pakistan was becoming a more constructive partner in the region but more needed to be done to target all terrorist groups, including the Taliban, the Haqqani network, and Lashkar-e-Taiba. Committee Chair Ed Royce (R-CA) said a new policy toward Pakistan was overdue and that one option was to place travel and financial sanctions on officials that had ties to terrorist groups. Other topics included Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal and U.S. foreign assistance to Pakistan. close
