Thank you, Chair.

Thank you all for coming today to our committee.

My questions will mostly be for Kristin Halvorsen, as the representative for the UNHCR.

I want to start by saying that I am pretty impressed by the work you've been doing, and the wealth of experience and expertise you have that I believe you can bring to the committee.

I'm going to go with different questions. Feel free to answer if you can.

Have you noticed a difference in migration patterns since the U.S. intervention?
