At a point of pause in the direct negotiations that were going on for the last nine months. And we have made clear and my message to both sides was that the only sustainable solution to this tragic conflict is yet a negotiated twostate solution. That is our view. That is the position of both sides. But they are not yet ready to take the steps, i think, to actualize that. And also we have underscored in the meantime as we manage this moment of pause and as they manage this moment of pause more precisely they ought not to take steps either of them that make the circumstances more tense or more fraught. What has happened the last several weeks is that some of the u. S. Officials involved in those negotiations are now saying that it was the israeli governments expansion of settlements, specifically Prime Minister netanyahu to build 14,000 more Housing Units that sabotaged the peace effort.

Efforts. And to say, willie, that Mitch Mcconnell carries his words carefully is an understatement, he wanted to send a message to the president and the republican senate. Thats the equivalent of him to say president elect, which he hasnt been able to bring himself to say. Lets stop and pause and say were about a month away from election day, and its news that the Senate Majority leader made an innuendo and hinted at the fact that the duly elected president of the United States is the next president of the United States. Thats sort of where we are, its big news that he suggested that joe biden is, in fact, the next president. Youre right. And well show later some states, theyre at a breaking point with this ludicrous lawsuit situation, that along with attorney general bill barr breaking with President Trump over he has false claims of Election Fraud, and we seem to be at an inflection point.

And yet, you have to publish a book. Its harder and harder to get reviews for University Press books. Even in scholarly journals, the whole thing is shifting, but part o

Mr. President , in conclusion, i want to say a word about Sylvia Mathews burwell. Ive known her for 25 years. I met her when she was working with the Clinton Administration as a young hot shot, West Virginia student, educated at harvard, rhodes scholar, like some other notable members of this body. And i am proud to support her confirmation to be secretary of health and Human Services. She has had a strong background not only in the Public Sector most recently as the director of the office of man
