I would for southern Afghanistan, yes. I reported to the ambassador, who obviously has oversight over everything that's happening in the country. The purpose of establishing the RoCK was to have somebody in the south who was managing the civilian personnel and the governance and development programming. That was essentially the division of labour between General Thompson, General Laroche, and me. They, in the first instance, were preoccupied with security, but not all of security.
As Denis would have pointed out to you—I think he appeared before the committee—we used to have a list of things that were essential to individual Afghans on a daily basis. We used to joke, because the first one was security, and then the rest were basic services. Denis used to say, “I'm responsible for the first.” Then he'd say, “No, I'm actually not solely responsible for the first, because within security are also included policing and corrections, which of course is Elissa's area of responsibility.” We worked very closely together, but certainly I was where the buck stopped on governance and development issues in the south.
