embodying presence

Brendan Sullivan owned the day back in 1987 when he uttered this line as part of the Iran Contra Hearings. It is Sullivan's competency and confidence that stand out (the proceedings and their significance is for a different discussion). If he had been competent with out being confident, his purpose that day may have been overlooked.  Had he been confident without being competent, he may have lacked credibility. Humor gave his asserting of himself a light touch.  As he brought it all together, he embodied presence. Unforgettable!
