We are proud that you have returned tonight under happier circumstances on a mission of friendship.

We in the United States look forward to seeing the friendly ties already established between us grow stronger in the years ahead.

But I also tell you that in the years to come my country will spare no effort to achieve a lasting peace for all of us.

No nation in the world has had greater fortune than mine in sharing a continent with the people and the nation of Canada.

It is appropriate that this first trip should be to Canada.

So we want you to know, Your Highness, that we are very proud to have you here; we are delighted to have you here.

She is welcome in this country again.

So I think this matter has been very strongly brought to the attention by the Israeli Government.

It is a high honor to welcome you once again to the United States.

We are very proud to welcome you here, Your Majesty.

It gives me pleasure to have this opportunity of assuring Your Majesty that while I remain head of this nation I shall not cease to promote every measure that may contribute to the friendship and harmony which so happily subsist between your Empire and this Republic and shall esteem myself happy in every occasion of convincing Your Majesty of the high sense which, in common with the whole nation, I entertain of the magnanimity, wisdom, and benevolence of Your Majesty.

For all these reasons we are particularly glad to welcome you here at the present time.

Bon voyage, gentlemen.

The impression that we, all of us, from the United States carry back is of the hands of friendship which have been extended to us and the strong feeling that while we came in a sense as strangers 3 days ago, we leave tonight as friends.

Gentlemen: I want to again express, on behalf of all of us, our great appreciation to our hosts, the Presidents of the Central American Republics, and the President of Panama.

We are very grateful to you and to the people of Costa Rica.

I want to express our very warm thanks and appreciation to all those who work for the United States Government here in Costa Rica.

I want to express our very warm welcome to all of you.
