Ambassador-designate, thank you very much for your opening comments. There is a lot of information. A lot of questions will come from members.
As a very brief point of housekeeping, your conversations with members of the committee are very carefully timed. I will announce ahead the allocation of time. When you're 30 seconds away either from the end of testimony or the end of questioning, I will try to signal with this yellow card just to make sure that everybody has a chance to get their questions in.
We will go into round one. These are six-minute allocations. The first intervenor with you this afternoon is Mr. Aboultaif.
Mr. Aboultaif, please go ahead. You have six minutes.
