  Roma, 13 settembre 2013 — Buongiorno! Siamo davvero felici di essere arrivati in Italia, la terra dei miei antenati. Sono orgoglioso di essere il nuovo Ambasciatore degli Stati Uniti in Italia. Ora passo all’inglese. Negli ultimi quarant’anni, io e mia moglie Linda Douglass abbiamo visitato l’Italia tantissime volte.
