There's been some movement over the weekend.

It's our administration's position that the Secretary of State will continue to be very involved in the region.

I'm very pleased.

There has to be real changes, and there has to be a profound change in the realities on the ground.

President Mubarak has proven repeatedly that he is a leader of great courage and determination.

Egypt has acted as one of our Nation's partners over a long time.

Egypt is hosting the substantive talks between Israel and the Palestinians...

I'm glad to welcome him back to Washington to congratulate him on his election.

We will do that, and we'll do it in a way that coordinates closely with the Egyptians as well.

I think it's very important to our country, and I'm working very hard on it.

We have to keep going in this process until all the pieces are in place.

I want to discuss how we can continue to work together on a comprehensive peace in the Middle East.

The United States looks forward to working closely with him, both on the peace process and regional issues.

I think it's very important that we resume the talks between Israel and Syria.

I think that we agree about what our common objectives should be there.

Linda Daschle's wide range of experience in the aviation industry, in Government, and as a consumer give her the perspective that is needed for this position.

We're also partners in a host of global efforts, from Operation Desert Storm to peacekeeping in Somalia today.
