We're proud of the record that you're making in your country.

This program, sponsored by the World Meteorological Organization, constitutes one of the largest and most complex scientific and technological undertakings ever attempted as an international effort.

We are grateful for the impressive gesture of good will and partnership that you have extended to us.

I call upon them to cooperate fully with the Secretaries of Commerce and State in this important work.
