On a personal level, I have constantly benefited from his counsel, as have so many members of the Department. Fortunately, I'll be able to continue to do that, as Ned will continue to serve at State, working directly for me."He noted that Price has been a face and voice of US foreign policy and performed with extraordinary professionalism and integrity.
