I have known Elaine for many decades as a dedicated civil servant, a talented negotiator and have no doubt she will again prove to be a highly effective asset to the executive branch. I look forward to working with her on critical infrastructure issues again. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
