i do want to think carrie o'conner and molly moran for their great work running the sounding board. [ applause ] and they're giving everyone here in the state department a chance to ask questions. i'm also looking forward to going over to usaid. i see the deputy secretary. i know he is out of town, but we're going to get a date very soon, because it is appropriate for us to have this chance to kind of catch up and look forward. and it is also so fitting that we would be meeting here in an auditorium named for secretary of state dean atchison, who cautioned us, and i quote, always remember that the future comes one day at a time. and despite the daunting challenges and the extraordinary opportunities that we confront, it is that one day at a time, one step in front of the next that really gets us where we're heading. in that spirit, i want to update you on the quadrennial diplomacy and development review which we launched in this room just over a year ago. our goals remain the same, to strengthen state and usaid as we continue to strive to work better, faster, and smarter in the 21st c
