Thank you for this invitation, and thank you, in particular, Professor Hathaway, for your work in the national security legal field. Since we first met last fall, I have appreciated your scholarship and our growing friendship. I was pleased to welcome you to the Pentagon in December to introduce you to a number of my civilian and military colleagues there. I would like to count on you as someone with whom I can consult from time to time on the very difficult legal issues we wrestle with in national security
