x SENATE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE z
JANUARY 13, 2009

Thank you, Senator Schumer, for your generous introduc-
tion, and even more for your support and our partnership
over so many years. You are a valued and trusted colleague, a
friend, and a tribute to the people of New York whom you
have served with such distinction throughout your career.
Mr. Chairman, I offer my congratulations as you take on
this new role. You certainly have traveled quite a distance
from that day in 1971 when you testified here as a young
Vietnam veteran. You have never faltered in your care and
concern for our nation, its foreign policy, or its future, and
America is in good hands with you leading this committee.
Senator Lugar, I look forward to working with you on a
wide range of issues, especially those of greatest concern to
you, including the Nunn-Lugar initiative.
And Senator Voinovich, I want to commend you for your
service to the people of Ohio and ask for your help in the
next two years on the management issues you champion.
It is an honor and a privilege to be here this morning as
President-elect Obama’s nominee for secretary of state. I
