Thank you Patrick, for that introduction.

I’m very honored to be here today. It’s always a pleasure to be back at Treasury. I spent five years here.

Excited to have the opportunity to work on so many challenging issues with so many capable, dedicated people. Proud to be able to serve my country, particularly at a time of crisis, and proud to work in this institution, which has such an exemplary tradition and culture.
