SEN. JACK REED (D-RI): Well, thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I briefly just want to welcome the witnesses and particularly General Van Antwerp, who was a contemporary at West Point. Good to see you here, Bob, and if you could pass on my great regards to Colonel Craig Tallkin (ph) and Bobby Burn (ph) at the first district -- they do a superb job. Both the general and Mr. Secretary, you should know that. I will be going to other hearings but I want to get back and talk about issues of the Fox Point Hurricane dam and also the Woonsocket levee project. Thank you very much, gentlemen. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
