We are grateful for the impressive gesture of good will and partnership that you have extended to us.
In that pursuit, Mr. President, United States support will be gladly given.
Sometimes it is your job to go out and scout the road, to encounter and overcome the difficulties that always accompany such a vast new venture as this.
