I am delighted to report that the Senate just confirmed NSC Legal Adviser Brian Egan to be Legal Adviser of the State Department.

As I have written before, the Legal Adviser position has been vacant for too long (three years). Brian is extremely well-qualified and will be an excellent Legal Adviser.

Congratulations to Brian.
