SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, good afternoon. It’s a great personal pleasure to welcome Tony back to the State Department and to Washington. We’ve been in close touch and have met a number of times since I was confirmed as Secretary of State, talking about a range of issues. And we look forward to another productive discussion today.
MR. BLAIR: Thank you. And on my part, I am obviously delighted to come here and talk to Secretary of State Clinton and talk about the Middle East and to thank her for all the work that she and the Administration are doing to further that process at this most fragile and challenging time. So it’s a great pleasure to be here.
SECRETARY CLINTON: Thank you all very much.
