I thank Senator Blumenthal for those articulate words about the resolution and for his kind comments. Senator Lieberman was on the ground floor of this, as he is with everything, including bills to construct foreign policy for the country. One of the original partners we had trying to get this matter going was Senator Ayotte, who is a freshman Senator but has quickly hit the ground running and has become a strong voice on national security. With that, Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to yield to the Senator whatever time she needs. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from New Hampshire.
