I have received your letter asking that I not resubmit your nomination to be Assistant Secretary of Defense for Democracy and Peacekeeping.
We certainly expect to have some sort of continuing defense cooperation with Russia.
With deep appreciation for your willingness to serve our country and with real regret, I accept your request.
I think we can get it if such an operation would clearly be under NATO command.
The Partnership For Peace, I would argue, gives us the best of both worlds.
Let me say, what I want to do at this meeting—this meeting is not about air strikes.
We share with you a common destiny, and we are committed to your success.
Your qualifications speak for themselves.
I'm delighted to be here.
We've got to somehow communicate that spirit, that belief that we can bring this economy back.
I'm proud of the work that's been done.
