Location: Manchester, NH

U.S. Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) released the following statement regarding ongoing efforts to locate James Foley, a journalist with ties to New Hampshire, who went missing in Syria on November 22, 2012:

"Our thoughts are with the Foley family today, and we continue to pray that James will be found and brought safely home. As we mark one year since James' disappearance, we urge the State Department and the FBI to redouble their efforts to find James and secure his release. We will continue to assist the Foley family and press federal officials to take every reasonable measure to find James and bring him home."

In letters last month to Secretary of State John Kerry and FBI Director James Comey, Shaheen and Ayotte urged them to take all reasonable measures to find James and facilitate his release.
