Looking back over the past 5 1/2 years that all of us, as Americans, regardless of our partisan affiliation, can be proud of the role America, our country, has played in making this world a safer and better place for all people on it, not…

The great outpouring of real friendship for the United States of America that was apparent every place that we went, not just with Egypt.

You can be sure, unless I am backing him, and I will back him all the way, just as he backs the Administration.

This certainly is a goal that we are rightfully dedicated to, both from the standpoint of the great NATO alliance but also from the standpoint of two nations involved.

There is no greater challenge facing America today than the discovery and development of new energy resources.

It was interesting to note that the people in both places, incidentally, were just as friendly as they were in downtown Cairo around the Palace.
