An Associated Press report published last week found that Levinson was in Iran working for the CIA _ investigating the Iranian government. The U.S. long has publicly described Levinson as a private citizen who traveled to an Iranian island on private business.
Levinson's family says they have also requested meetings with Secretary of State John Kerry and President Barack Obama.
Obama left Friday evening for a 16-day vacation in Hawaii.
