POTUS ~ I want to send the Health and Human Services Secretary to Haiti to ensure that all the aid and relief we are sending in the aftermath of this earthquake is being dispersed quickly and efficiently.

POTUS ~ In that case, let's send Secretary Clinton.
I will exhaustively try to get confirmation on the validity of this story.
