The Court at this time wishes to note for the record that Theodore Olson has been serving as the Solicitor General since June 11, 2001. The Court recognizes the significant responsibilities that were placed on him to represent the government of the United States before this Court and to perform other important functions during difficult times. On behalf of my colleagues, I thank you General Olson for a job well done. You have our sincere appreciation and best wishes for the future.
