“Yes, but I don't take questions in here. But I think out of fairness, let me just simply say what I said to the second wave of press, and that is how delighted I am to have my friend President Collor here in the Oval Office.

The problems are big, but we salute him for his tackling of those problems, and it's those things that I think are the most important for this visit.”
