Nearly 2 years ago my wife and I visited Bogota, Colombia, where a vast new Alliance for Progress housing project was just getting under way.
It is a great pleasure for Mrs. Kennedy and myself to welcome the Black Watch to the White House.
The United States, in fact all of us, love, I suppose, in a sense, lost causes, and on occasion the history of Scotland has been a lost cause.
I know that I speak for all Americans in asking you to extend our sympathy to the families and friends of those men who lost their lives in this tragic accident.
