I'd like to apologize to the Senate. I forgot to tell my nominee I had made the nomination official. Some may remember that I had made and then unmade the nomination a week early when Senators started swearing in earlier than allowed and I didn't fully correct myself so that is my mistake and I take full responsibility. The nominee did not go AWOL.
In that case, I endorse Andrew for this position.
Don't think I can change my vote, but I urge my colleagues to vote in the affirmative for his confirmation.
Andrew, I was glad to hear Israel will be a top priority. Best of luck at the DoEA.
