I call the meeting to order.
Welcome, everyone, this morning. We have two parts to our meeting. From 8:50 to 9:30 we have General Howard with our regular briefing, and then I will take a short recess after his presentation and we have General Henault here today answering our request. We appreciate that.
To start, we'll do it in the usual fashion. We'll open it up for General Howard to make his presentation and then we'll have a quick round of questions, one from each party. I hope, sir, you can enlighten us on the recent developments. The floor is yours.
