GENERAL WILLIAMS: Okay. Let's see how<br />

we're going to do this. Just find a mic and just<br />

step over. That will be fine. So can I start with<br />

you in the corner? Over here, anyone on this side?<br />

herself, I'm going to get up and get out.<br />

MR. MADDEN: Hello. My name is Ed Madden.<br />

I'm with Gale Associates. We're a building<br />

envelope, ro<strong>of</strong> design, evaluation consultant<br />

company. We do have an open-end contract with the<br />

<strong>State</strong> <strong>Department</strong> and, to date, we've done quite a<br />

few ro<strong>of</strong> evaluations on various embassies and done<br />

some design work.<br />

And I just want to say I really appreciate<br />

the opportunity to be here. There was a lot <strong>of</strong><br />

great information. I think I was very impressed by<br />

what Nancy had to say and the sustainable design and<br />

that whole sustainable design discussion.<br />

In particular, I do really believe that<br />

organizations like the <strong>State</strong> <strong>Department</strong>, and the<br />

<strong>State</strong> <strong>Department</strong> in particular, do lead the way and<br />

they do set the example, and they do show people<br />

throughout the world what we are all about. And I<br />

think to pursue that is just a wonderful thing. So<br />
