                     Wednesday, September 18, 2013

  Mr. KEATING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Ambassador 
Victoria Nuland, who was sworn in this afternoon as the State 
Department's Assistant Secretary for Europe and Eurasia. Assistant 
Secretary Nuland, a career member of the Senior Foreign Service, has 
served with distinction under Democratic and Republican Presidents, 
most recently as State Department Spokesperson, as U.S. Ambassador to 
NATO, and as the former Vice President's Principal Deputy National 
Security Advisor. Throughout her career, Ambassador Nuland has 
demonstrated a fervent commitment to strengthening the transatlantic 
partnership, a relationship based on shared devotion to democratic 
principles and values. As Ranking Member of the House Subcommittee on 
Europe, Eurasia, and Emerging Threats, I look forward to working with 
Assistant Secretary Nuland to strengthen America's ties with Europe, as 
we work together to advance our mutual interests around the world.
