00:00I'm sorry, I take it we're not going to have a second round?
00:03That's correct.
00:04We've got a second panel.
00:05Senator.
00:06I'd like to request a second round for this panel.
00:07And the chairman said when you were asked earlier that you'd consider a second round.
00:10I did.
00:11And we have a second panel.
00:13You said a second round for this is what you were asked about.
00:16That's correct.
00:17I was asked about that.
00:18I said I'd consider it.
00:19I've considered it.
00:20We've got a second panel.
00:21My view, we've got to move on.
00:22Thank you.
00:23But I said pretty please.
00:25You did.
00:26I will grant you that.
00:28With sugar on top.
00:30You know, that southern charm.
00:33It works.
00:34Apparently not well enough.
00:38I'll ask the nominees to take their seats.
00:54Would the nominees stand to be sworn in?
00:57Do you affirm that the testimony that you are about to give before the committee will
01:01be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
01:04So help you God.
01:06You may be seated.
01:11And Ms. Henry, you may proceed with your opening statement.
01:16Thank you.
01:17Thank you, Senator Welch, for chairing this hearing, along with Senator Durbin at this
01:23point.
01:24Also, I'd like to thank Ranking Member Graham and the entire committee.
01:28I'm grateful to my home state senators, Senator Casey and Senator Fetterman, for their support.
01:33And I would like to thank Senator Casey for his incredibly kind words this morning.
01:38I'm truly, truly humbled to be here.
01:42I'm especially grateful to President Biden for the honor of this nomination.
01:47I would like to introduce my family.
01:49I would not be here today without their unwavering encouragement and support.
01:54We've always been a small and tight-knit group, but we remained even smaller by the loss of
01:58my mother a few months ago.
02:00She was the heart of our family.
