This is the hearing of the Senate Relations committee will come to order. Good morning ms. Power and welcome to the Senate Foreign relations committee. Your nomination as ambassador to United Nations has come with much fanfare and with some criticism which at the end of the day means he must be doing something right. But without fanfare or criticism i dont believe anyone can question your credentials nor can anyone question your service. And certainly no one can question your willingness to speak your mind. Often forcefully, always passionately and usually without hesitation and i commend you for your willingness to speak out particularly on human rights issues around the world. Where there is a war correspondent in bosnia or in yugoslavia are one door sedan as you said in your Pulitzer Prize winning book genocide witnessed evil at its worst.

That would be close to the mason dixie line. Partly cloudy conditions and finally warming above freezing over the weekend. Similar highs in the 30s. Lets go to jamie with the commute. Here we go, maryland. We do have a snag. Southbound interstate 95, a crash happened the last hour. Passed through to 100 prior to i 75. It was involving a truck hauling a trailer with a book. Initially everyone had been stopped. One label goodbye to the right. Trailer with a boat.
