Thank you, Chair.
My concern is the same as many of the other members with regard to aid to Syria. We were hearing about the aid going to Turkey. A lot of my constituents are also concerned about aid improperly going to the Assad regime. I'm wondering how you're making sure we prevent that.
On the other side, are you seeing the openings that were announced in the last couple of days about routes to allow for aid into Syria? Are they in fact valid routes and are they getting to the places that are in need?
