REED: "Dan Coates is a principled gentleman. He is someone who is very thoughtful. He is someone who has great dedication to the country and has served the country with distinction. There will be series of policy issues that he'll have to respond to. There will be a series of issues with respect to the rigors of any confirmation process. He brings with him appreciation by his colleagues of his commitment and of his integrity."
