                CONFIRMATION OF LINDA THOMAS-GREENFIELD

  Mr. PAUL. Mr. President, in times of conflict and peace, nations 
should discuss and resolve disputes. We cannot expect to achieve peace 
without effort and dialogue. The post of Ambassador to the United 
Nations is a position where engagement is of the utmost importance. 
Throughout Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield's 35-year tenure at the State 
Department, under both Republicans and Democrats, she developed a long 
track record of engaging diplomatically with other countries through a 
very unique approach. Based on Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield's career, I 
believe she will tackle international challenges and engage with 
friends and adversaries, alike, and I support her nomination.
