 The Institute's work has saved lives and it's enhanced our national security. And if you want to be peaceful here, you want to preserve our way of life, you better be involved over there. When we first began funding it, we really never expected such an extraordinary organization such as this. They're out there with us, they're out there trying to solve problems. So one of the reasons why I love USIP is they put together some tools for the toolkit, which don't fit in kind of traditional big government programs. They do an amazing amount of work on conflict prevention, conflict mediation, conflict termination. Thank you for helping save people's lives around the world because of the work that you do. I'm very grateful to the US Institute for Peace for providing this forum, as well as for your work to promote a stable and peaceful Afghanistan. The leadership and scholarship of the US Institute of Peace has made lots of difference. And in a world with no shortage of terror and strife, it's more important than ever that we show our nation's true colors as peacemakers and peace builders. There's considerable value in civilian and military organizations working together. There is extreme value in those relationships, but I would go in as far as say that they're necessary to any success that can happen in any of these conflict areas.
