most is that he and i got to co-curate the american presiden presidency, a glorious burden, which is the most popular exhibition barely beating out first ladies at the museum of american history. but in many ways what i think is important is that spencer's been able to not only be a gifted scholar but also a gifted leader. spencer worked for more than 20 years at the smithsonian, at the museum of american history, and the last nine he led and reinvig rated that museum as its director. and then the city, the country was fortunate that he went to cincinnati to run the underground railroad and freedom center. in essence, legitimizing a very important cultural institution. so in essence, what i would argue is that all of us who care about history, all of us who care about museums, all of us who care about public education and understanding of the african-american past, of the american past, should be grateful for the life and career of spencer crew. join me in welcoming dr. spencer crew. >> thank you, lonnie. the check will be in the mail. what a pleasure to be here this morning, and good morning. >> good morning. >> i don't know quite what to say a

now, turning to your question, at this stage, if you ask me about american egyptian relationship, i would not be advocating strategic boldness at this moment, because everything has to come in its right moment. i think mrs. sadat earlier in her brief comments used two words which in my judgment capsule ate what is needed. and these two words were patience and space. we have to give egypt space to define itself at a time of considerable political turmoil and uncertainty. and, therefore, also patience. we have to wait until that works itself out. but having said that, i think it's absolutely essential that we do what we can to preserve a close strategic relationship with egypt because egypt is the major player in the region. and a good american egyptian relationship is one of the key foundations of a meaningful and relevant american policy toward the region. if we have that relationship, we can also move on other issues. and, of course, one of the issues in which we tried to move forward together with egypt, and we didn't get as far as one had hoped. and subsequently we even stalled the que
