I intend to vote for your confirmation. I appreciate you being here today, and I appreciate you putting yourself up for this position.

A strong role, and relations with those countries are essential.

I think you are a smart lady. I think you are very well fit for this job, and I intend to support you.

I am one who thinks it should be the Department, to be honest with you, because you will de-politicize it.
