I hope to some day be able to come there and see you in your own land, in your own atmosphere.
Your reward--and it is coming--will be seen in the faces of children who will come down the road that you have helped to open.
In that pursuit, Mr. President, United States support will be gladly given.
The mood at the White House this evening is one of cautious optimism.
