meeting, because I was on travel, my colleagues<br />

said, Joe, you can be the Master <strong>of</strong> Ceremonies. So<br />

I got to do the honors <strong>of</strong> surprising the General<br />

with an award.<br />

So, if you go to OBO now, you will see an<br />

award in our case on the lobby floor that is to<br />

Charles E. Williams in recognition <strong>of</strong> the leadership<br />

that he gave the organization to achieve these<br />

incredible results. And as you can see, it was not<br />

just an execution issue. It involved everybody<br />

across the board in OBO, numbers <strong>of</strong> passports,<br />

numbers <strong>of</strong> personnel actions, the numbers <strong>of</strong> visas,<br />

and on and on and on.<br />

So we were very proud <strong>of</strong> this achievement<br />

and we really wanted to recognize General Williams.<br />

So we got two awards, you have one, sir. I trust<br />

you have, you're keeping yours?<br />

GENERAL WILLIAMS: I have, it, yes.<br />

MR. TO<strong>US</strong>SAINT: And the one we will put in<br />

our case downstairs to mark this milestone. But I<br />

wanted to correct that.<br />

(Applause.)<br />

GENERAL WILLIAMS: I appreciate that, Joe.<br />

And I appreciate the initiative that the staff<br />

decided to do. And if you don't take anything else<br />
