Thank you for negotiating the release of Aijalon Gomes from North Korea. 

I attended the Democratic National Convention in Madision Square Garden in 1976.  I met both you and your wife.  I knew then and I’ve known since then that you are an honorable man, stubborn as a bulldog with southern charm.  You achieve your goals.  I am sick and tired of hearing variations on: “the failed Carter Presidency,” from newscasters and pundits alike.  You were not then and are not now a failure.  (I could go into the secret Bush/Reagan deal with the Iranian hostages but I won’t tonight.)

Peace be with you, Sir.  Honorable men are in short supply in the United States right now.  Thanks for reminding the people what one acts like.
