Honorable Senators!
I lay, according to Sec. 3 Ssec. 1 SACA before the Senate the nomination of
Jamala Covfefe
to be
United States Secretary of State
submitted in proper form by the President of the United States on August 10, 2026. By law, a hearing has to take place before voting on the nomination.
I call upon the nominee to take the prescribed oath, after which she may rise with the first word.
„I do solemnly swear that I will tell the truth and nothing but the truth without any additions or reductions.“

Chester J. Witfield
President pro tempore
