Mr. Secretary, it is my honor and tremendous privilege to award you on behalf of this grateful Nation the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award it is within the power of a President to grant.
The United States strongly seeks the achievement of peace and stability in the Middle East.
The Medals of Freedom you are about to receive are the highest civilian honor that our country can bestow.
