I apologise for interrupting, but could the witness elaborate on the US embassy network and the geographic area covered? We have only consular general offices in Boston, New York, Atlanta, San Francisco and Chicago. It is quite difficult to cover an area like the US with the small network we have there. Should we expand and open up more consular general offices in places like Texas, which is the size of France? We have no presence in Texas. It is difficult for a consul general to cover that kind of ground.
