Rep. Curt Clawson, R-Fla.,
addressed what he believed were two members of the Indian government at a House
hearing on July 24 of this year and assured them that, as a U.S. representative, he would support all
efforts to facilitate a better relationship between America and “your country” and
“your government.” But there was one problem — the officials testifying before the
House Asia and Pacific subcommittee weren’t Indian officials at all, but two Indian-Americans:
Nisha Biswal of the State Department, and Arun Kumar of the Commerce Department.
When Clawson asked them for
cooperation in increasing U.S. investment, a confused Biswal responded that they shared his sentiments — as members of
the U.S. government.
