Dear Ambassador Scobey,

I want to thank you and your staff for the exceptional work
in support of my recent visit to Cairo. Acting on short
notice and with severe time constraints, you and your team
gracefully executed a challenging schedule that allowed me to
demonstrate the United States commitment to lasting peace in
the region and the priority that the President and the
Secretary place on advancing the two-state solution.

While many people worked to make my visit successful, I would
like to acknowledge the work of several by name. Greg
Logerfo provided excellent overall direction, under your
lead, and skillfully arranged my meetings and briefings. For
logistical arrangements, credit goes to Lydia Ayoub. For
security matters, I am very much appreciative of the efforts
of RSO Anthony Campagna. And finally, for pulling together a
critically important press event following my meeting with
President Mubarak, I want to thank Maggie White.

I look forward to continuing our work together and to my next
visit to Egypt.

With sincerest thanks,

George J. Mitchell
