I'll call the second portion of today's meeting to order.
In our second hour we'll hear from retired General Lewis MacKenzie, who is appearing as an individual before our committee. We'll also hear from Strategic Forecasting Inc., Kamran Bokhari, director of Middle East analysis.
Welcome, gentlemen, to our committee. You've seen how we operate here. We look forward to your comments, and then we will move into the first round of questions.
If I could have a little more order, please. Thank you.
Mr. MacKenzie, or General MacKenzie--
