Mr. Chairman, I join you in welcoming Secretary Clinton, Secretary Panetta, and General Dempsey.

I simply want to take the opportunity to thank you and to congratulate you, Secretary Campbell, on your vigorous and tenacious work in East Asia throughout the past 3 years of time and your service before that.
