network of outstanding servants that are helping to keep us h d healthy and helping to improve our lives every day. i want to thank stephen her husband and matthew, helene for sharing wife and mom with us a little bit longer. we'll miss seeing you around the white house but i know you will do an outstanding job as america's secretary of health and human services. i hope that the senate will confirm sylvia without delay. last time she was confirmed unanimously. i'm assuming that not much has changed since that time. with that i want to give you an opportunity to say a few words starting with kathleen. >> thank you.
