his authority and presence and adds a mysterious underlying 10 authority to the whole proposition.
II However, before I get to that very pleasant duty, I 12 have another very pleasant duty.
I have been waiting for some 13 sort of an opportunity to present this.
It turns out it will 14 be no surprise to him, and it depresses me' enormously that 15 Commissioner Kennedy has worked for this government for almost 16 more years than I can bear to think

Let me give you that.
