John Warner: “I'm hopeful that the Senate will confirm you.”

The current process has not proven the ability to move beyond small ball.

You're a man of courage and you take on the tough jobs in that Congress and do the very best you can to achieve working relationships.

We don't want that to happen again, and it is the uncertainty that you must sell to your colleagues.

Good luck to each and every one of you, and to the importance of the confirmation process.
