AP Reporter Grills State Dept's Psaki to Name 1 Achievement by Clinton-Initiative

MATT LEE, AP: I have a brief question on the QDDR [Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review]. Off the top of your head, can you identify one tangible achievement that the last QDDR resulted in?


JEN PSAKI, State Department spokesperson: Obviously its an extensive expansive process. LEE: Just one.


PSAKI: The Secretary wants it to be focused on a more narrow range of issues, its always to look at how we can improve things, and we'll see where we come out in the end.


LEE: So, can you off the top of your head identify one tangible achievement that resulted from the last QDDR?


PSAKI: I am certain that those that were here at the time worked hard on that effort and could point out one.


LEE: Since you've come on board that you've noticed, that you noticed that you can point to and say wow the first QDDR identified this as a problem and dealt with it.


PSAKI: As you know, I've only been here since it was concluded. I'm sure there are a range of things that I'm not even aware of results.


LEE: I won't hold my breath.
