I am pleased the Senate has confirmed Kenneth Wainstein as the first Assistant Attorney General for National Security at the Department of Justice.

Ken's confirmation fulfills one of the critical recommendations of the WMD Commission and further strengthens our ability to protect all Americans.

My Administration remains committed to strengthening American families.

Ramadan is also an opportunity to gather with friends and family and show thanks for God's blessings through works of charity.
