You are representing America, and you are not doing it in the style that is described in very exaggerated fashion in 'The Ugly American.'
Our entire history since the birth of my Nation has been that of friendship.
These things can be done--your part in bringing them to pass will be measured by the intensity of your dedication.
If there is one thing we want--I mean the United States wants--it is good, loyal friends, inspired by the same ideals of human dignity and decency that we ourselves cherish.
