"I would like to congratulate WFPG for the good work it is doing. Now in this town, you have a choice. You have quite an assortment of think tanks and lots of groups. And from my point of view, I think the Women's Foreign Policy Group is number one... One of the main reasons for my selecting this group is not the fact that they are gender-sensitive. That is part of it, but not the whole thing. It is the fact that they deal with current issues very efficiently and there are always speakers of the highest rank.
