I both thank him for that, and I emphasize to all of our colleagues how important it is. Many of these positions need to be filled now. We have had these nominations before us for the appropriate time. We have looked into them on the committee. They are very top officials that will be going to various and important positions all over the world. We have General Kadish, U.S. Air Force, who is one of these. We have General Kross. General Kross will be going to TRANSCOM. We have a number of Army nominations. We have General Tilelli, to be the top military official in a very, very important and volatile part of the world, Korea. He wears two hats, both in U.S. Army and the U.N. Command. We have General Wesley Clark in the SOUTHCOM position--enormously important.
