Q Do you guys expect an easier ride for Hayden today?

MR. SNOW: I don't know. He's getting some brisk questioning -- I'm sure you've watched some of it on the TV.

MR. SNOW: Oh, no. Well, we've been watching it on CNN; it's doing okay.

MR. SNOW: I don't know. He's in the fore cabin. I've not made it my business to barge in and ask him what he's doing. But he's going to face vigorous questioning, but, also, we've got a lot of confidence in General Hayden. This is a guy who has been appointed precisely because he's the most qualified intelligence officer in the country and a guy who has got a record of trying to take on big reform tasks and carry them out.
