I wrote an op-ed this morning that was about our role in Syria.

we have a major humanitarian and political crisis on our hands.

You know, the special investigator inspector that we had in Iraq talked about just recently that he does not see us as any more prepared to do development in similar circumstances today than we were in 2003.

I think the movement toward self-sufficiency and dealing with people in their own countries is a great--

I do applaud you, as the chairman just did, on your movements in the food assistance areas.

I think you have been in the middle of a political football game that has been taking place.

I have to say I am very encouraged with the beginning of your tenure and the efforts that you have underway.

You certainly want to manage it very carefully as a key counterparty credit risk.

I do not know why anybody would want to change something that is working so well.

I do appreciate what you have been doing since you have been in your position.

It seemed that when Secretary Clinton was up here, there was a standard by which things like this were judged.

I really do believe you are off to a very good start, and I have high hopes for the major policy issues that you are dealing with coming to resolution.
