I congratulate you, the people of Delaware, the people of Maryland, and the people of the United States.
And I think that--the governmental standards, let me say, on the whole I think compare favorably with those in Washington, with those in some other parts of America.
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.
